Zapashny Brothers big cat act.
This is really something. Have never seen its like here in USA.
Note that the cats "home pedestals" are spots along the ring curb. That
helps the audience get a better view. The act is way longer than we see
here.
We've seem some of this from the likes of Gunther but no one as far as I
know has ever ridden the lion on its jump.
The Russians seem to have the best acts of all nowadays.

A very good act. I like how the cats just seat on the ring curb. It looks like they might have had good dishes at their seats too. I agree it does remind me of a Gunther style act. Very well done and really good music. (Not traditional circus music, but perfect for this act)
Due respect to all, but to compare this act to Gunther or a "Gunther style act" is totally absurd and a slam to the man's greatness and what he accomplished in the arena. Akin to comparing Todd Marinovich to Tom Brady because they both throw footballs. Recently when shown a video of another Russian cage act I was asked "could you train an act like this for me?" My response, "yes, but why in the world would I want to......"

These Zapashny brothers bear a vague resemblance to other circus guys posted here at times.
Look closely the man jumps across the gap does not actually ride the cat.
Larry, I hope you were being sarcastic about the music. After 3 minutes I had to mute it.
Thank you Dennis. I was reluctant to comment further, assuming someone would throw the silly "jealous" card on the table. Now look even closer and see if you can count the de-clawed animals. In this twisted, amiss world of animal right's, now that Ringling has taken the 5th with the elephants I fear China and Russia may be the last frontier's of animal training. A sure sign that the world has tilted off axis is that from my personal experience, they are probably the biggest offenders. Nuff said, RIP John Milton.
