EXTREME stunts never cease to amaze, whether it’s James Bond taking on an army of villians in his most recent blockbuster or Jason Statham in his latest high-octane car chase.

It’s no secret that the people who take the risks to bring these death-defying stunts to life are the real heroes of the piece, and on Sunday July 29, there’s a chance to see some of these men and women in action close up, when the Extreme Stunt Show powers into Ocean Terminal in Leith.

From monster trucks to back flipping motocross riders, the Extreme Stunt Show promises the thrill of a lifetime for all the family.

Featuring monstrous trucks Extreme and Lil’ Devil, drivers Glen Wise and Mark Glover will demonstrate how to handle a 2000+ horse powered machine while Gary Taylor, Dave Wiggins and Josh Grindrod reach new heights performing incredible FMX motocross stunts.

And don’t miss Abby Baker, a born thrill seeker, who will perform car crashes, roll overs and t-bones.

They are all trained professionals, of course, so don’t be tempted to try any of the stunts yourself - especially the walk through fire.
