    WOW!

    I wonder how many passengers he went through until he found one who could remain standing for the complete ride.

    I’d like to see a video of all the attempts that were not successful.

    The “Nitro Circus” movie is a must watch for how some of this is trained for and how the stunts get to be what they are.



    I have never seen a side-car stunt like that but when I see jumps, sometimes between buildings, on a Big Wheel, I pay attention.

    One of the most dramatic stunts was when “Wheels” did a successful back-flip- in his wheelchair.
