At the time of writing he travelled the world maintaining their equipment. He is an extremely accomplished trapeze artist, and has been involved with the trapeze for over forty years. He lives in Sandpiper Bay, Florida. Lili and Steven Gaudreau Lili and Steven run Trapeze Arts. They have two schools in California and sell trapeze equipment. They were very helpful in giving me all the measurements for my calculations. Lynn and Coach Lynn and Coach are trapeze enthusiasts I met in Club Med Sandpiper. They were particularly helpful as they are themselves PE teachers, and so were familiar with the concepts of the trapeze. They were able to suggest a few ideas to research.
