Benjamin Scott isn’t your average circus performer. His journey began at the young age of 14, a chance encounter at Tattoo Freeze in Telford. Dared by a stunt team to drop into their halfpipe, Benjamin took the plunge – and hasn’t looked back since. That pivotal moment ignited a passion for unicycling that has propelled him into a career of jaw-dropping skill and artistry.
