I market myself as a professional performer and I had just as many people lined up for 2 hours straight waiting for autographs... But I went home from that show feeling like birthay clown level cheap entertainment. I am working hard to make this my sole career as well, and honestly so far so good, but there definitely should be some equalizing among the extreme sports to allow us to continue to do this as far as we potentially can.

LOL, if it were only true, I would probably have agreed. But that wasn't the case, in fact that was the extreme minority.
And video is currently being filmed. I'll try to get my hands on a sample clip asap if possible. Never posted video before, do I just upload it to Youtube, etc?

Hahaha! No no, I don't claim to know all the answers. I have just been extremely fortunate to have had the opportunities and such to allow me to achieve in a matter of months what took years for others. Not a day goes by that it doesn't blow me away and that I am not thankful for it, I will never take it for granted. I was a solo rider for some time and had always been extremely interested in stunting, my bike wasn't suitable for it tho. But I wanted to start stunting in at least some way for the time being so I looked into tandem but for a while there was no one I trusted my life with. Chance put Steve Spong & I together, Gixxie was filling in temporarily while he was looking for another partner, I was looking to tandem, the rest is history. This has been our year, we have been approached to be in about 6 DVDs, 2 mags, took 1st at Stuntoberfest, etc etc. So long as Steve wants to continue performing & competing, I will be his loyal partner, but individual is definitely in the cards for me as well.

Do you actually stunt solo or are you just a backpack?

agreed. i don't think stunting will go mainstream. cause it's not really a sport that anyone can just pick up...who knows though, maybe someday it will. but if it did it would be alot easier and cheaper to get parts.

As soon as I can get ahold of the guy that was filming and see if he can give me a clip. Don't worry, I promise I'll let you know! lol

for it to go mainstream which it wont or itll be years there has to be rules, nobody races nascar with a turbo on thier car it would be unfair and nobody could keep up, if everyone came to an agreeance on wat should be allowed and everyone has to run the same-and by that i mean gears, fairings,cc's,hb,bars or clip ons. this way it would be fair in every way and the public would see all the same bikes and know its skill not the bike.
