Flying is one thing… but have you ever tried flying upside down? You can when you take an aerobatic flight! An aerobatic flight is full of tricks, twists and turns that normal airplanes don’t – or at least shouldn’t – do… like rolling, diving, and stalling! The girls had a chance to ride with Luke Penner, an aerobatic champion who competes professionally all over North America!
Teanna and Jessica got to go for the flight of their life on this episode at Harv’s Air Inverted!
Boxing is an ancient sport and has been around at least since the time of the Ancient Greeks – in fact it’s one of the earliest Olympic sports! The ancient Greek god Apollo was believed to be the god of boxing. Boxing can even be seen as far back as ancient Sumerian carvings. Participants in boxing are usually human… but not always! In 1949, one boxer went head to head with a bear. Not surprisingly, the bear won!
Jessica brought Teanna to the Pan Am Boxing Club, Winnipeg’s oldest boxing gym!
