SPANKY SPANGLERSpanky Spangler has been performing death defying stunts all over the world since he was 12 years old. With twenty two thousands stunts to his credit and 22 world records, he is knownto his peers as the “Original Fall Guy.” Also known as “The Falling Star,” he is without a doubt the #1 stuntman in the World. Spanky has

been inducted into three Stuntman Hall of Fames. In the past 3 years, more than 180 million people have watched Spanky perform his amazing stunts.

Born to be a stunt man, as far back as he can re-member Spanky’s driving desire was to be a Holly-wood stuntman. He trained constantly and rigorously in all varieties of sports. After enlisting in the army, first as a paratrooper and later as a Green Beret, he became a decorated soldier and the youngest Green Beret to this date. His experiences in the armed forces helped prepare him for what was to come.

Spanky has performed in front of crowds in excess of 300,000 all over the world. Among his many awards, he holds the distinction of having an official day named for him in the State of Arizona. September 13th is Spanky Spangler Day! spankyspangler.com

Cannon Lady - Jennifer SchneiderShe flies through the air with the greatest of ease, the daring young woman, who doubles as a human cannonball! Traveling 40 feet in the air out of a 28 foot cannon fired by her husband Rob, Jennifer says she loves being able to thrill people. The human cannon act began as early as the 1800’s as a feature in circus acts everywhere. Jennifer’s father, David Smith, built his first cannon more than 20 years ago and his entire family has taken part in thrill acts like this one. Jennifer began performing her high-flying act at the young age of 15. 19 years later Schnieder has flown in front of thousands of people in more than ten countries.

Keith Sayers is a native Montanan born and raised in Butte, the hometown of Evel Knievel!! Keith has been riding motor-cycles for most of his life. He bought his first motorcycle at the age of 9 from his neighbor for $10.00 and from there it has been one epic ride for this hard working Rocky Mountain Kid.In 1995, at the age of 12, Keith started racing motocross which led him to three Montana state motocross champion-ships. From there, Keith put in the time to advance himself in racing but found that Montana was a difficult area to become noticed. Finding new inspiration in 1997, Keith started performing freestyle moto-cross demos during race intermissions. He caught on quickly, and in 2002 at the Unleash the Freaks tour,

Keith was introduced to Steve Miller from SCS Racing. The following year he did his first ever freestyle motocross show in his home town and it seemed as if Keith had what it takes to make it in FMX. Then in 2004, Steve offered him an opportunity to come over to Bozeman, MT to start practicing at his facility. From then on, Keith has taken what he learned from Steve and decided to build his own cus-tom facility in Butte for practice. Keith’s dedication to bring a practice facility to his back door has proved invaluable. Keith is committed to riding and training

Keith was introduced to Steve Miller from SCS Racing. The following year he did his first ever freestyle motocross show in his home town and it seemed as if Keith had what it takes to make it in FMX. Then in 2004, Steve offered him an opportunity to come over to Bozeman, MT to start practicing at his facility. From then on, Keith has taken what he learned from Steve and decided to build his own cus-tom facility in Butte for practice. Keith’s dedication to bring a practice facility to his back door has proved invaluable. Keith is committed to riding and training

on his motorcycles every chance he gets. The progression that Keith has gone through these past few years is an inspir-ing story for a small town rural FMXer. Keith began doing a wide variety of contests, demos and shows. His name has been listed among some of the best and he has the great respect of his FMX brethren. Keith not only approaches FMX seriously but he approaches the business side the same way by producing his own demos and constantly maintaining his top-notch practice facility. His facility has seen the likes of Mike Metzger, Greg

Hartman, Rich Kearns and Steve Haughelstine rip at, which is something to be said. Keith has also taken over the ramp building for SCS Racing, which includes building every ramp for the 2009 ESPN Winter X Games.Keith is very lucky to have the love and support of his Wife Danielle, as well as his family and friends who help with ev-erything from assisting Keith in the foam pit to producing shows!!
