| has gloss | eng: A. M. (Max) Schreyer, known as Daredevil Schreyer, was an American daredevil cyclist and athlete. Between 1895 and 1919 he travelled the world performing a particular feat. Cycling down a chute he would propel himself from the bicycle just before the machine left the chute, dive forward through the air and land head first in a tank containing three feet of water. The chute was built afresh of timber at every venue. Starting at a height of 103 feet, the chute declined at an angle of 35 degree before curving upwards. The small water tank was placed approximately 100 feet from the end of the chute. He appeared across the USA, Canada and Europe, performing in New York, Paris and London. |
