Inscription.

For seven decades, he has performed in and produced some of the world’s most exciting thrill acts. While he is widely known for the motorcycle incline, the Winn repertoire has included more than a dozen sensational aerial and ground acts, all of which have featured Winn Family members. Attesting to the Winns’ popularity is the fact that their acts have appeared on every major U.S. circus, fair and theme park and have astounded audiences on five of the world’s seven continents.
