AKA : Douglas Mac Valley




Douglas father Panair Valley was born: 1922 in Brazil was one of the first Globe rider in Brazil, he learned it from Guido Concci the originator of the act in Brazil and claimed to be of of the inventors of this stunts in Europe early 1890's. Guido arrived in Brazil early 30's.

Douglas, is probalbly the first (No sure ) globe of death show to appear in Ringling bros Barnum and Bailley, together riding with cousin Victor Urias.
Victor stood for many years at ringlong, while Douglas devloped the Globe of death on the world famous stages. He putted the globe of death where nobody was expecting a motorcycles show.

Along his career of business man and rider, Douglas created big stunt shows under circus stunts in Japan and some other countries.
It is well know that the Globe of death is now worldwide famous, it is due from the work of Douglas.
Before that, the globe of death was almost only seen on fun fairs, or small circuses.

In the 90's, Doulgas modified the idea of the SPLITTER from Russia. That particular globe that separate in two parts with riders above in the air.
The Russian one, was very heavy and complicate to assemble.
He modiffied it and presented it first in Las vegas.

At the end of his life (2008), Douglas was taking care of his STUNT FOR JESUS organisation, in the Fidji islands.
We can not says, he was very rich at the end, but he experienced a lot. And at least because all globe of death riders knows him, it can prevent us from the same mistakes.

Douglas had a step soon, in the person of Bela Tabak, who runned the Globe of death of Las vegas.
