What an extremely good show!

ON Friday, 12 April 2013, the Lil' Devil and the Guinness World Record holding Monster truck Burn were putting on a high octane charged event for spectator night in Southport. The North West based stunt team run by Extreme Stunt Show Show have been touring the world over the last few years, calling at venues as far-a-field of New Zealand, Malaysia, Iceland, Dubai and Thailand, but have also been all over Europe. With that impressive background, anyone who was attending knew they were in for good show. The team have also been on many TV shows from Jackass to Top Gear, plus on some movies, so again the audience expected a bit more than normal, and boy'o'boy did they deliver! Despite the weather trying to rain, the show was a fantastic success as you can see from the photos and our video footage. From stunts being performed by some new recruits to the team, on BMX Bikes, to massive jumps being performed by riders on motocross motorcycles; add to that the stunts on quad bikes along with a 4x4. If that was not value for money and exciting, they had more still! Yep, car crushing and rolling... That was not forgetting lots of flames, including a full body burn run! This is a highly skilled team and with the limited space they had, they took the area on Southport's Pleasureland car park up fully and used it to the max. They even accommodated the Lancashire Blood  Bikes group, who attended the event, in the hope of looking for new recruits, collecting and letting people look at one of their bikes, plus letting the odd child play with the siren. We have a fantastic video interview with the BMX riders and also lots of video footage at the end of the photographic coverage. To see out photograpic coverage just click on here now...!  Please remember that this video footage and our photographs are only a small sample of what this team did, so if you like what you see, then you should really head to one of their next venues to see this amazing show. For a list of locations to see this event at you can click here or visit their Facebook Page.
