I’m going over in a barrel. I’m leaving the cannon, hitting the ramp at 90mph and clearing ten double decker buses. I might fall. I might break my body into several pieces, but then I’ll pick myself up, dust myself off and do it all over again. This time, I’m going higher, further and faster. Tonight, I will attempt the impossible Action Hero have measured it out, done a few calculations and they’re confident … it could go either way. Come along and cheer for us, pull for us, pray for us and watch us fall. If at any point you see me on fire, don’t try and help, just stand well back and wait for my own people to be there. Join us for a night of daredevil stunts, Evel Knievel paraphernalia and music until late.
