LOOP THE LOOP IDEA
CARRIED TO AN EXTREME

The loop-the-loop principle as an
amusement feature has reached q
stage now which may be termed an
epidemic. Intrepid seekers fer glory
and geld are swirling through space
On every conceivable style Of vehicle.
Rolling hollow globes, roller skates,
and bicycles have all been used to
gather momentum for the ring around
the-rosy climax within the loop. Use
latest sensation, however, is sprung at
Springfield, Mass, where even the loop
itself Is given a whirl or two in one
direction while two men on bicycles
hustle over the circuit, going the other
way. The act Is pulled off as a duet
in duplicate wheels.
Starting at the bottom Of the circle,
the two riders begin their ride side by
side on wheels equipped with coaster
brakes. AS they pedal forward the
big wheels begin to revolve from be-
meath their tires, turning in the oppo-
site direction. After a good spinning
speed has been attained by the big
wheel the riders suddenly apply their
brakes and are carried backward up
toward the top. When near the top
