UK weekly edition, Wednesday, June 6, 2007
A stunt show full of fiery explosions, dangerous jumps and tricky feats, including a human cannonball, catapulted into Mildenhall Stadium, just outside of RAF Mildenhall, last week.
Scott May’s Daredevil Stunt Show presented 25 thrilling stunts to a crowd of young and old for about 90 minutes.
Before the show, May mentioned a few things spectators could expect to see.
“Trucks and cars on two wheels, monster trucks, crashes and smashes, all sorts of stuff really. We even have an old armored personnel carrier that has been converted into a monster truck with tracks on it,” he said.
May’s team of daredevils is set to tour the country through August. The show costs 8 pounds for adults and 5 pounds for children.
“Moneywise, you win some and you lose some, but, at the end of the day, it’s all about putting on a good show,” May said.
