Hot Wheelie: Life Of A Female Stunt Rider
You have to perform all the stunts that stuntmen do, but in less clothes and high heels... How do you manage?
Though stunt riding in lingerie and heels is crazy and exciting, I do it only for a shoot. Else, I stunt in full gear and leathers because skimpy clothes don't really leave a lot of scope for padding and safety gears.
What are the most nightmarish stunts you have performed?
Tell me, which stunt isn't scary.
What are the skill set of a stunt woman?
Just everything that a stuntman needs. Indeed seat time and practice.
Which is the worst accident or injury you have had?
I have had so many, but my worst was when I was on front of the bike and got ran over. It dragged me about 50 yards across the asphalt.
How many fractures or bruises have you suffered in your lifetime?
I lost count years ago, but 20-30 is a rough estimate.
Which are the areas you most protect?
The most protected area would most definitely be my face; its my money maker.
Where are you most likely to get hurt?
It's so random depending on the crash and impact, when you're hitting the ground or the bike is hitting you.
What are the stunts that you can perform?
Tandem; I can pretty much do it all. As far as solo stunt-riding is concerned, my fortes are burnouts, stoppies and acrobatic tricks.
Before performing a stunt, what are your apprehensions?
Coming back in one piece.
How flexible are you?
I am pretty flexible. Are we talking about riding or sex? HaHa.
Both. So, have you ever performed stunts when no one's watching?
Yes, I definitely perform stunts with my boyfriend. LOL, it's like Cirque du Soleil.
