Default Stuntrageous

Ya know, we all talk about how bad stunting is, but this last weekend I went to my second "Stuntrageous" bike stunt show and it was awesome. I will have videos I can send ya soon I believe.

It was crazy at one point. Todd Colbert (I dunno if anyone knows who he is, but hes pretty big in the stunt business) took a brand new tire and burned the thing GONE. I don't mean he blew it or roasted if for 5 minutes. I mean he burned the thing until it disappeared and there was nothing but a sparking rim left.

They have some crazy stunts there. Some coed with guy/girl doing combined tricks on one bike, synchronized endo 180's and some I had never seen. Theres one they call the "chainsaw" where the rider gets off the bike and rips the throttle standing next to it. He would twirl the bike in circles around himself.

I'm not a stunter at all myself, but watching this stuff (which was in a closed airport strip) was really exciting. No one was hurt at all. I assume that most of them do this as a living. I know Todd Colvert was on MTV last month too. They make it all look so easy.
