Legendary BMX rider Mat Hoffman invited Rick Kosick to come out to Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park in Valencia, CA, to preview his new attraction, “Mat Hoffman’s Danger Defying Daredevil Show”. If there’s anyone who would know how to set something of this caliber up it would surely be Mat, but I have to give him an extreme amount of extra credit just for making Rick Kosick defy a certain amount of danger himself by stepping into the steel cheesegrater globe of death. In a way you could say it’s a come uppance. After all, Kosick was one of the key instigators in getting Dave Carnie to enter a similar spherical situation while behind the scenes on a Nitro Circus shoot last season. Payback’s a bitch, though, because Kosick did not just have to contend with one motorbike orbiting his heavenly body—he had three ripping about him in orchestrated elliptical fashion. I know a cameraman generally isn’t a component of Mat’s DDD show, but I’d go back time and time again just to watch Kosick quake and stucco his underpants. Bonus: The Condor flies again!
And, for the shorter attention spanned among us, here’s a 30 second version:
