Schools are all shut down again here in NY, work shut down, so the boys and I are watching some old movies. Didn't realize how many older movies had motocross connections to them, so I thought Id post a few to see if you guys remember, realize, or have something to add!

They didn't do the rail slide in Sky fall. We did that on Bourne Legacy. We rehearsed that for days in a parking lot in Manila until it was right. It was actually a really cool deal. The movie didn't do it justice.
Chris Gosselaar = Lucy Lui
Some Dork = Cameron Diaz
It was a bike on wires and hooked to a computer and winches. However, it was a cool process to be a part of. I did all the rehearsals. I was the "test dummy" so to speak. We got it all right and Jeremy Renner actually did it when it was filmed with a stunt double on the back with him.
It took a lot of planning and was still pretty sketchy. It was worked out so well, that in the movie it did look fake.
A rider from France JP Goy, who is an amazing rider, did most of the riding in that sequence. It was a real fun 7 weeks we spent on that chase sequence in the Philippines. I wish I knew how to post some pictures!

That was the first movie I did. It slowly snowballed into my career now.
Not much of a difference huh??
