Re: Who is Putting More into the Sport
Im gonna say Stone... Tomas just knows everyone and spreads the word on things. Stone actually put on a competition series this year, and is set to do it again next year. shit was the *****, although it probubly wasnt that big a deal because its in the northeast and not in florida or cali.... and you cant forget about the whole movie thing he's got going on too.

Production and distribution isn't my field but I know how to establish an LLC and set it up so that one person can legally hold all the offices. So if anyone needs help figuring out crap like that, I'm your girl.

As far as who's doin work in a big way?
I gotta give it up to Jason Britton right now as far as exposure.
Thomas for busting his *** and "Slotting" riders into shows around the world
Darius on top of the heap on the West Coast.
Drew Stone for hustling strong on the East Coast.
Mr. Hollywood Kane-one for working super-hard to push his pink ****
I'll give it up for Colbert, Chris & Adam as well for all the years they have put on the largest event we have.
Starboyz?
Stuntlife?

Who among stunters and enthusiasts puts on, sponsors, hosts the most shows and competitions? Who is working hardest to organize and fund events so you all have a venue to do your thing?
And who among yourselves would you turn to for help and know they'd have you covered?
IOW who is giving their all to progress the sport as a whole? (not so much the most, but maybe the most they can give, it's all about heart IMO) And who does the most to help individual riders?

Re: Who is Putting More into the Sport
I think you have to look at the old and the new. The og stunters that are still in it today have brought the sport to everyone here, imo. Groups like the Starboyz and Darious, Kyle Woods, Colbert etc, those guys who have been doing this for so long and continue to, that is why the majority of us are in it to begin with, because we saw a vid of them and wanted to try it.
Consistency; shows and events that happen every year are certainly a key. Stuntfest is a huge show that grows by the thousands yearly. Stuntwars, although a flop last year is still a major competition. Now with the xdl and others emerging this should continue. These are forums that stunters can depend on. Dont forget or downplay stuntlife either. (Home Depot doesnt put banners on any web site. SL is not a charity, there is a reason companies pay to advertise here)
And yes, the producers like Drew Stone who make movies and have the ability to make those all important contacts with that allows us those chances at big name contributors and portray us in a light that is favorable. This is so important.
and so many more factors. Everything is like cogs in a wheel. When they are all there, this will blow up!

This is great, you guys. I appreciate the input.
I think where I'm limited right now is I got to see and hear about the biggest names out there, but I want to make sure I'm not missing the people who work behind the scenes to make it happen for those out there in the forefront. So who has done the most was too limited of a question, "Who is doing what?" is better.
If I am missing anyone (like Murdoc, I didn't know he puts on an event!) please fill me in. It's important for the documentary to be balanced and show the progression and where people fit themselves into the industry. Also I want to be able to show where it's headed, who is coming up, what they are doing, and anyone who has changed the course of the industry in any way.
Thanks again for the help.

Re: Who is Putting More into the Sport
No one would let you retire DSOG Thomas. It's the silliest idea I've ever heard, minus a few of my own.
"I'm going to make a documentary" springs to mind.

I need to see more shows and competitions, but I also want to get this documentary done and shopped to the networks. I'll just have to keep an open mind and make room in the budget for a follow up film.

Re: Who is Putting More into the Sport
This is the first place I went for information after I decided to make this film. Stuntlife will definitely be mentioned. Without SL I wouldn't have the footage I do. (and more on the way! thankyouverymuch)
