Episode 34: RHINO JUMP
Rhino racing is one of the fastest growing sports today. Originally created for farm use; gear heads and throttle junkies have transformed them into sleek racing machines. Glenn Evans, one of the up-and-coming racers on the Rhino circuit is looking to push the limits of these UTV's (Utility Terrain Vehicle) even further. For Stunt Junkies, Evans would like to be the first driver to jump a Rhino approximately 85 feet, but it doesn't end there. Really wanting to leave his mark on the action sports industry, Glenn is not only looking for the distance record, but he's going to set it by clearing a semi-truck as well.

Episode 33: PARACHUTE CUT-AWAY
Being one of the best canopy pilots in the business, Jonathan Tagle will exit an aircraft at approximately 3,500 feet, deploy his high performance canopy, or "swooping" canopy, execute a dive which is a 720 degree rotation and swoop over the Auburn Bridge in California. But the stunt doesn't end there. Our hosts will watch as Jonathan cuts away his high performance parachute, have to stabilize himself from the jarring effects of the cut, go into a controlled freefall, then deploy his BASE parachute. There is no reserve on a BASE parachute so Jonathan has only one shot at this. Once his canopy deploys, he will have to maneuver to the landing area below. If all goes well, Jonathan will put all aspects of the stunt together, being the first man to perform a swoop to BASE jump at the Auburn Bridge.

Episode 32: JET SKI™ DOUBLE BACKFLIP
Ross Champion would like to be the first personal watercraft rider to complete a double backflip on his ski. The mechanics of a backflip on a motorized ski are very different from that of a motorcycle or bicycle. Specific preparation of the ski to do the stunt will include adding a trim nozzle to the ski. When Ross pulls a lever on the handlebars, this will tilt the nozzle on the end of the ski pump to about 30-35 degrees, which will help him to achieve the extra rotation that is required to complete two flips. The double backflip will require pulling very hard off the top of the wave, and Ross will have to hang on to keep from separating from the ski. Furthermore, he will need to be strong enough to absorb the impact from falling out of the air from 25 feet up. This stunt from Ross Champion will be amazing!
Premiere: May 14, 2007

Episode 31: SNOWBOARD WORLD RECORD
Alexis Waite will perform a jump that is rarely seen in snowboarding. Famed snow builder, Pat Malendoski will build Alexis a take-off and landing ramp on flat ground at Mt. Bachelor in Oregon. Alexis will have to be towed in by a snowmobile to ensure enough speed to clear the 55-foot gap. However, the take-off and landing ramps are situated as a step-up jump. Alexis must combine all of her skills in snowboarding to clear the gap while being pulled by the sled at speeds of around 45 mph. Will she land on the transition of the landing, or will the ramp and lack of speed pop her into the face of the landing?
Premiere: May 7, 2007

Episode 30: SEMI-TRUCK WALL RIDE
Rick Thorne would like to ride his BMX bike on the side of a moving semi. The stunt will consist of a semitrailer, takeoff ramp, street bike and an extremely talented BMX rider. It is going to require a tremendous amount of coordination to ensure that the truck driver, street bike rider and Thorne can obtain the precise timing needed. "Stunt Junkies" will document how the three parties work together to determine the correct speed that is needed for both the truck and Thorne, along with the proper angle of Thorne's approach so that he not only connects with the truck, but actually rides on its side as it continues to move forward. Regardless of the outcome, Thorne's charismatic and energetic attitude will guarantee that this episode of "Stunt Junkies" will be exciting to watch from beginning to end.
Premiere: April 23, 2007
