Lyndon Fraser - Ladder Artist, Montreal, Canada, Ep. 483
from Take it from the Ironwoman · host Lyndon Fraser, Susanne Mueller
My name is Lyndon Fraser. I am a circus artist originally from New York, but now I’m in Montreal training in acro-ladder. I’ve always loved flipping, twisting, and pushing myself to become the best version of me. My circus journey started when I was 15, but at 16, I made the big decision to move away from home to pursue it full-time. It’s been a long and challenging road, but one that has taught me patience (lots and lots of it), physical discipline, relentless drive, and how to find the best in every moment. Training acro-ladder, in particular, has been a lesson in persistence. After all, you can’t get mad at a ladder—only at yourself. I’m incredibly excited to be here with you all today, and I hope this inspires you to step outside your comfort zone and try something that scares you. That’s where the magic happens.
