10 Questions – Kyle Woods
Kyle Woods stood still long enough for us at King-Cold.com to ask him 10 Questions. If you don’t know who Kyle is, well, we can’t really help you with that. Kyle is the man you saw clutching it up in 2 Fast 2 Furious, and doing his stunt driving thing in Miami Vice.
Have you ever seen a man stunt an 800 pound cruiser?
Kyle will be headlining the King-Cold.com Charity Stunt Show at the 2007 Biker Boyz Weekend, and we are excited that we could book such a busy man to do such an important show for us.
Here is is folks, Kyle Woods- 10 Q’s:
Everyone knows that Kyle Woods is not afraid to clutch it up. But, if he were- what occupation would Kyle Woods hold?
Well that’s a tough one. Before going pro in stunting I owned a successful Auto repair shop and I’m still an A.S.E. Certified Master Auto Technician. I also have a production company “Level X Video”, and an equipment sales business, buying and selling everything from Fitness equipment all the way to the Forklifts that move the stuff. Oh yah, I have been doing a lot of TV hosting and movie stunts also.
We’ve seen some of the stunts that you’ve done, and we were impressed. Which stunt were you the most apprehensive about?
As I sat here for about 10 minutes thinking about all the stunts and my apprehensions. I finally realized that I just put more thought into this 1 question than I have ever put into any of my stunts. I do it because I love it, not because I am afraid of it. I know just before I’m about to “throw” a trick if it will work or not. If it feels good “throw it” if not “throw something else”.
Joe Dryden has been quoted as saying, “…just another day trying to catch up to Kyle Woods.” How does that make you feel about your being role model for other riders?
It makes me feel great! Joe is a fantastic rider. I have nothing but respect and admiration for all the great riders of today. In fact I respect anyone who sets goals, and makes them a reality!
Which does Kyle Woods fear more: snakes, spiders or 2nd place?
Neither…. Heights is my big fear, However I have been testing my fear by hanging off of tall buildings, repelling, rock climbing, etc… I will have to say it’s getting better but the fear is still here…..
How did your parents react the first time you clutched it up in their presence?
I kept it quiet from them for many years. In fact I was pro for 3 years before they found out. My uncle saw me in a magazine and called my parents to ask why they didn’t tell the family that I was a Street Bike Freestyle rider. Sounds crazy to some, but after raising me nothing shocks my parents.
We know that Chuck Norris’ tears cure cancer (too bad he never cries), what do you think the biggest myth or misunderstanding about you is?
They think I am HUMAN! But I am not one of them.
In your normal life, lets say in a random city- how many times a day do you get recognized for being Kyle Woods?
At least twice or more a day. It’s one thing in my town but now it’s everywhere. The best is when a motorcycle cop says “hay you’re Kyle Woods; I have your instructional DVD’s. Thanks Woods” Getting noticed is one thing, but getting noticed and respected by the police is priceless.
Who is the most down to earth movie star that you’ve met? Who surprised you the most?
HMMMM I have met a bunch of them from the movies & TV shows I have worked on. That’s a tough question but I would have to say it seams to me that there is a little good cop / bad cop on all of the sets I’m at.
2 Fast 2 Furious:
Ludacris was the most laid back and down to earth dude I ever met. I watched him take time out and sign an autograph for a little kid.
Tyrese on the other hand was the exact opposite.
Miami Vice:
Collin Ferrell who I thought would be a stuck up star, turned out to be a really funny and happy go lucky guy.
Jamie Foxx who I thought would be the comedian would hardly talk to anyone.
But who am I to be the judge, Maybe they woke up on the wrong side of the bed…
EVERY DAY…
Who is the President of the Kyle Woods Fan Club?
There are many 2nd runners up but the #1 spot goes to a 4 year old boy named Chase. This kid is the coolest thing ever. He can recite every word from the intro of the Adventures of (Kyle Woods) DVD and he’s working on the instructionals now…. In fact he went as Kyle Woods for halloween!
A man’s day is made by a man’s breakfast- what’d Kyle Woods eat for breakfast this morning?
I am a lucky man, my wife cooks me breakfast every morning. This morning was my favorite… Mexican style Breakfast burrito!
If you don’t eat a good breakfast you will never amount to anything!!!! EVER!!!!!
