i'm not a big fan of this sort of comedy, but if anyone out there is as obsessed with the long beach pike cyclone racer as i am you'll enjoy this thoroughly .. TODAYS STUNTS SUCK IN COMPARISON!!! sure some of the stuff is sound staged, but other sequences are real, insane , stunts.. enjoy!! whoops.. sorry here's the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQednUO6TRU

That last part of the stunt is how Intamin discovered the idea for a "wing-walker."

I am kidding. But to me it looks like 1st generation stop motion.

nope.. back in those days personal risk was a fact of life, even in/especially in show buisiness..
maybe humans have (d)evolved, and our backbone is degenerating...
