Professional acrobat Scott McDonald’s (@scottamcdonald) mesmerizing trampoline feats only look effortless. “That’s where the work is,” the 27-year-old says. “I am not the most naturally talented acrobat. So what I try to do instead is work unique ideas, uncommon moves you don’t see all the time.” Canadian-born Scott studied martial arts as a child, and when he was 15 he started practicing flips at a gym also used by some Cirque du Soleil performers. It was there Scott was exposed to different circus disciplines, like hand balancing and aerial arts, learning firsthand what happens behind the scenes. “Circus hurts,” he says. “It’s beautiful to watch, but it takes a lot of training.”
