Last night we attended the opening performance of Ringling Bros. Presents Circus XREME at Honda Center in Anaheim. In their 145th edition, Ringmaster David Shipman guided over 100 performers from 13 countries around the world. It was just incredible! New this year are Xtreme Sports, Caravan of Camels, Bungee Skydivers, World's Youngest Human Cannonball, and Mongolian Marvels.
Aerialists from Russia and the Ukraine displayed an enchanting and beautiful aerial ballet with mermaids and bungee skydiving from giant orbs.
Mongolian Marvels are really strong and incredible. They are extremely flexible and show amazing strength. The Danguir Troupe had us on the edge of our seats as they did the most daring stunts on high rope. They jump roped, made splits, climbed and jumped over each other - It was crazy! Five, four, three, two, one... BOOM! Watch Gemma Kirby, the youngest female cannonball, shoot out of a cannon! You'll also see Daredevil Benny on the Wheel of Steel making the audience all nervous.
Xtreme Sports featuring high energy BMX freestyle riders, parkour performers, trampoline acrobats and slack line gymnastics will have you clapping and cheering for them.

They have the most amazing performances of Asian Elephants, Bengal Tigers, and Carvan of Bactrian Camels, as well as a comedic performance of poodles with Alex and Irina. This year we hear more from the elephant trainers during the performances, and we see more of the circus clowns during transition. Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® Presents Circus XTREME is truly "The Greatest Show On Earth®"!
