July-Sept 2011

“All The Way Turned Up”

In the Month of July and September i was booked to perform at New Jersey Motorsports Park for both the Rolex Series Grand AM event as well as the A.M.A Superbike final. Its a really long trip there. I decided to recruit a local guy i ride with name Kyle Rapport to help with the travels and perform with me. Even with 2 drivers the trip takes 2 days to get there. Stopping briefly only for fuel and food. Seeing as how I would have to return to NJ shortly after this trip we decided to make an adventure out of this trip. Stopping in select states to visit with and ride with old and new friends along the way.  From our west to east and back west travels we stopped in New Jersey, Pittsburgh, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico & Arizona before returning home to CA. Filming all the madness along the way. Check it out here.

Music and Motorcycles

Hey everyone,

                           I have been kind of in hiatus or a few weeks while sick with pneumonia. I am finally feeling healthy and strong again.  Once I was back on my feet and functioning I received a call from my buddy Nhan Vo to come do some work for a music video in Los Angeles.  I wasn’t aware of what I was going into but I’ve heard great things about international music director Colin Tilley. Director of previous videos with artists including  Chris Brown, Soulja Boy, Ciara, The Turf Stars and more. Colin Tilleys latest creation is the video “Look at me know” featuring rap superstars Chris Brown LiL Wayne and Busta Rhymes. The video also includes some stunt riding by my good friend Kyle Rapport. Catch it on youtube or on BET and MTV.

This particular video I showed up for was for a British rapper by the name of Chipmunk and featured American artist Kari Hilson. Coming together to perform the song  “In The Air” from Chipmunks sophomore album “Transition” due over seas April 18^th.

It was a pretty long grueling night in L.A. with lots going on. The weather was intermittent with showers and cold temperatures. I have production experience with the shows that I have been a part of Superbikes and Stealth Rider. However those television shows mostly feature Team No Limit. In the music video I was a stunt double for the Artist Chipmunk . So until it was time to do my part it was hurry up and wait process.  After five hours and some coordination my motorcycle was used for a concert scene and four hours later around three in the morning we were on to the good stuff.  The motorcycle gear the producer chooses for me to wear included a helmet with a clear face shield. Only problem was that they asked for some close up shots and I just didn’t quite fit the part anymore. The artist that I am doubling is a light skin black male and I am not. They decided to send me to makeup and transform me. I came out looking darker but not quite black or even light skinned black. I looked like I had a really funky spray tan.  Oh well I had to fit the part or the whole scene would most likely be cut out. It gave my friends a real good laugh.

By 3:30 a.m. we were cruising through the streets of downtown with one expensive production truck. The truck had a jib and a pretty expensive camera on a control arm that maneuvered just about any direction needed.  Once we discussed what shots were needed I got to decide what stunts would be done. Taking into consideration that I was on a public L.A. street with about 12 other motorcycles following behind me, we got to work. With my experience in tracking shots from StealthRider I managed to deliver some up close shots to the camera at about 30-40 mph 5-10 feet off the back of the truck at times, some burnouts and some stoppies. We tracked through some familiar streets that I rode through during the StealthRider shoots.  I rode my black and red Kawasaki zx6r street bike which made things a bit more difficult to perform on stock size gearing but I was prepared to ride any bike they choose.

We managed to make several runs through our permitted route and get the footage we needed and we returned to the base camp just around sunrise.  My motorcycle was used for another sequence of shots with the artist on it so my day was yet to be over. By the time we finished up it turned into a 14 hour shoot. I was happy to wash my face and get the makeup out of my eyes. I had a good time and met some great people. These types of things usually equal long hours and lots of work for a few seconds of stunt footage. It’s all worth it in the end. I hope to do it again.

Keri Hilson & Chipmunk
Stay tuned for the release of “In the Air” by Chipmunk ft. Keri Hilson Directed by Colin Tilley.

Its great to have a crossover between music and motorcycles and I am happy to be a part of it. A bunch of people coming together to do what they love and provide entertainment.

HT MOTO

                                                            HT Moto              

 

Whats up everyone. This week I have decided to write a little bit about HTmoto.

HTmoto is a company in the industry that makes a product that specializes in quality that meets our needs.

Our needs as commuters, canyon riders, stunt riders, road racers or just the good ol show off at bike nights.

HTmoto customizes seats to not only match your ride but the quality material HTmoto uses reduces the amount of slippinng and sliding you or your passenger will be doing while enjoying the ride.

HTmoto makes a full line of custom seat covers for not only streetbikes but dirtbikes, watercrafts, scooters and more.

For my fellow stunt riders out there HTmoto has created the right tool for the job. Send or bring in your seats to their shop and make your request. Available in a variety of setups HTmoto will take a stock seat and cut the hole in the back seat for your foot. They replace the necessary areas with high density foam to create a sturdy resting place for your foot. This also allows less stress on the material which in the long run will reduce the chances of tearing.

My rear passenger seat has a cone shaped foot rest that is built of high density foam. It eliminates the need for a metal heel plate which can be very dangerous during a crash. I’d much rather be hit with some high density foam rather than a metal plate. This setup takes a bit more work to create so you can expect a little increase on price.

HTmoto also specializes in a very durrable hydroturf/grip. Tested in the ocean, raced with at 100mph + on the track and used and abused by us stunt riders. This stuff is the real deal. I have personally used everything from glue to griptape and more and HTmotos custom grip kits are by far the best.  Available is a variety of colors and kits you can find what suits your riding the best.  You can find some grip for your knees that are applied to the sides of your gas tank or you can find a full top tank stunt grip that comes precut to accomodate the gas cap.

check out some pictures of the great products HTmoto has to offer..

HTmoto is used by a hanfull of respected athletes in the industry: Melissa Paris, Bill Dixon, Kyle Rapport, Jason Britton, Eric Hoenshell & Tony Carbajal (Team No Limit)  Eric Whitcomb and many more..

HTmoto is located at :   1367 South Lewis St, Anahiem, Ca 92805.

Something for the new year

Revlimiter High Chair Circle Wheelies

  The description itself is confusing enough to most. Performing this trick gets even more confusing. The danger factor is enough to make most riders watching this video cringe. Trust me when I tell you that I was cringing myself while trying to pull it off. In order to reach the revlimiter Ii had to feather the clutch just enough to make it slip but not fully disengage the motor. This keeps the engine pulling the bike around and allows me to rev the motor. Meantime having to work the hand brake with my middle finger and maintain balance. One slight slip of the clutch and I could be in for a world of hurt.  Why would i do such a thing? It’s one of those tricks I have had on my mind for over a year. I wasn’t sure how it would end and never felt confident about it. I have never seen any other rider in the world perform this trick either.  I like to be an innovative rider, deliver new things to the sport.

I definitely want to thank a few of my sponsors for helping me make this trick possible and as safe as it possibly could have been

Righteous Stunt clutch for helping me maintain precision clutch control  www.RighteousStuntMetal.com

HTmoto for making great grip that keeps me locked into position on my gas tank. www.HydroTurf.com

OdI grips for helping me hang on tight while maintaining full control www.ODIgrips.com

Two Brothers Racing for providing added performance and a killer sounding revlimiter. www.Twobros.com

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy this video

Kleen Chain

Hello everybody and welcome to my blog. This week I have decided to inform you guys about Kleen Chain Synthethic Chain Lube. Maintenance to our motorcycles is extremely important. With a little bit of time and products we can keep our motorcycles running smooth and safe, get us from point A to point B with no problems and extend the life of our bikes components.

 

          Kleen Chain is an O-ring safe all weather synthetic chain lubricant designed specifically  for motorsports. Kleen Chain is formulated of a “no fling” formula and has a unique glide on applicator  which means you only apply what your chain needs and your well earned dollars arent going to be spread out over your wheels, tires and plastics to be wiped up and thrown out afterwards. I myself dont want a greasy lube anywhere on my tires. It can be dangerous and result in a very unexpected and unwated accident.

Kleen Chain is safe for all chains, including o-ring chains. Using Kleen Chain will  increase the life of your chain by preventing rust, reducing chain wear, sretch and metal to metal friction which will eventually wear down the life of your sprockets. It helps the chain work smoothly and reduces noise.

The Kleen Chain bottle comes equipt with an easy to use applicator. This foam applicator makes it easy to only apply what you need and reach some of the tight hard to reach areas.

Use Kleen Chain as directed and this little bottle can go a long way. This little 16.oz bottle has been known to outlast a 20.oz bottle of the conventional spray lubes.

I personally use Kleen Chain for my stunt bikes and street bikes. However this dynamic product has been known to work wonders on numerous variations of chain driven mechanisms. Motorcycles, scooters, chain saws, fork lifts, garage doors, bicycles… anything with a chain.

A $10 bottle of Kleen Chain and a few minutes of your time can save you up to $200 on the cost of a new chain and installation by a mechanic. Not to mention the time lost of getting out and enjoying the ride.

For more information or to purchase Kleen Chain visit www.KleenChain.com or www.TonyStunts.com online store.

 If you are a dealer interested in distributing Kleen Chain products feel free to contact me at Tony@TonyStunts.com for more information.

Enjoy this short clip about Kleen Chain application and some stunts by myself. And remember… im no actor haha just a stunt rider
