Action film; 2 sick Wheelie riders needed! Is that you?

I'm a former visual effect artist. I do the cool effects you see in movies like star Wars and Mission impossible. Back in the day you could find me behind the scenes at place like MTV, BET, FOX and ABC to name a few places, but who really cares?? Now riding is my life. I ride 365(above 38oF and no ice or snow on the ground).

I'm trying to combine my 2 love by making a crazy video that is a snapshot into the life of a rider. Rider: Dirt, sport, chopper, cruiser, Trike, stunter, docter, lawyer, high school kid, college kid, Bus driver, police....EVERYBODY!

I need to make some fliers to promote the video. Actually to recruit my cast. For the flier I need 2 riders doing a wheelie and another doing a stoppie. The shot I have in mind is SICK and I've never seen anything like it before. Who's down?

30-60 minutes of your time and lunch provided??:YEAH

Re: Action film; 2 sick Wheelie riders needed! Is that you?

Wow. I must be mistaken. I thought there would be tons of people here who can do wheelies but so far only one guy can. Are these Avatars all photoshop or are wheelies out of style? What a hassle it's been to find riders. I mean I've got tons of "Extras", but starts?? Thats tough. Seems everyone wants to do stunts on thier own time and are camera shy or something. Not even wth a free lunch huh? *scratches head"

Shooting bike videos on a scale that I plan too is enough trouble without having to fight to find motivated and talented riders. I mean I just return 2 HD cameras that could not cut it($630 Cannon). I also broke one DV camera(fell of bike) and a $376 10 Mega pixel camera is lucky to be alive right now. Don't think I'll be doing much more of these. Time to look at cars. MUCH easier to shoot and much more of them. Sucks because I live on TWO wheels man!

People are trying to get payed man... If people have skills they need to be aprechiated and payed. An opera singer doesn't sing for free. And free lunch won't really cut it for any stunt rider.

No, just be interested at all in a great oppertunity. Throw yourselves at me? I'd be happy with 2-3 serious responses but apperently people are upset that I want to give them 15 minutes of fame that will cost me thousands and months of hard work for free. I'm lost...

Re: Action film; 2 sick Wheelie riders needed! Is that you?

All I need is 2 wheelies(from left and right). An endo in the back would be good too, but considering the level of effort required, I'll either fake it or make due.
