From the small town of Peru, Indiana, to soaring through the air in front of audiences around the world, Skyler Miser is living proof that some people are truly born to fly.
Known as The Ringling Rocket, at just 11 years old, she made her very first flight out of the Rocket — a heart-racing milestone that marked the start of an extraordinary career under the circus lights.
Skyler’s path to the Rocket is deeply rooted in family tradition. Both of her parents were human cannonballs, passing down not only their skills but also a deep respect for the discipline, trust, and courage required to perform one of the most thrilling acts in live entertainment. Growing up surrounded by the circus, Skyler learned early that flying through the air isn’t just about spectacle — it’s about precision, preparation, and passion.
Today, Skyler continues to amaze audiences as The Ringling Rocket, launching herself high above the arena floor in a breathtaking display of strength and fearlessness. Each flight is a testament to years of training, family legacy, and unwavering dedication to her craft.
But the rocket isn’t the only place where Skyler shines. In addition to her high-flying role, she is also an aerialist in the show, showcasing her versatility and artistry high above the floor. Whether she’s soaring from the Rocket or performing graceful aerial choreography, Skyler brings power, elegance, and confidence to every moment she’s in the air.
Skyler Miser represents the heart of Ringling — honoring tradition while pushing boundaries, blending legacy with modern athleticism, and inspiring audiences of all ages to look up and believe in the impossible.
