Una Mimnagh, a circus performer for 20 years, and Sara Young of central Pennsylvania met on myspace.com two years ago and have been performing their stunt show together ever since.
Mimnagh said she began working in lighting for a circus, but later began working as a trapeze artist. She started working with motorcycles six years ago, and bought a bike to start her own act three years later.
“It was just supposed to be a summer job and it lasted the rest of my life,” she said.
“This will be our first time at Bike Time and we’re really looking forward to it,” Mimnagh said. “This is our third summer at bike rallies. We love bike rallies. The crowds are great. They love girls and they love bikes. It’s a good combination.”
As a finale, the duo will complete a 360-degree revolution around the wire.Friday’s performances are scheduled for 1, 3, 5, and 7 p.m. Saturday’s shows are set for 11 a.m., 1, 3, 5 and 7 p.m. Sunday’s acts will be at 1 and 3 p.m.
