does anybody know what happened to jana schepp after she left the wallendas returning to germany. i know she retired from the wire,but being only 17 i wondered what she did from then.

@mackayentertainment Yeah but my point is that the Flying Wallendas didnt exist for 400 years. And where do you get that number anyway? The only thing I can find anywhere is that he was born into an old circus family. How do we know they go back 400 years?

@jdunn1974 - Actually Karl Wallenda was born in 1905 into an old circus family who had been circus performers for many generations. Karl began performing himself in 1911 and later founded the troupe the "Great Wallendas" who later became known as the "Flying Wallendas". The Wallenda family has been performing in circuses over 400 years, it would probably make a great geneology project for someone :)
