Inscription. Ernestina Winn, a seventh-generation circus artist and thrill show producer, is one of the most versatile aerial daredevils of all time, performing acts such as the inclined motorcycle, the Centrons Aerial Platform Act at 80 feet in the air, and the Slide for Life. She is best known for her spine-tingling high sway pole routine culminating in one of the highest handstands in circus history at 127 feet. She enthralled audiences world-wide from theme parks, such as Disney’s Epcot Center, to county and state fairs, to opening for Liza Minnelli in Madison Square Garden and Kiss in Dodger Stadium, to performing with RBBB Circus, the Greatest show on Earth. Tina is definitely in her own galaxy.
