The Speed Cretin is just another example of why Icon isn’t just another helmet manufacturer.  The company that’s put its all behind Jason Britton has once again pushed the envelope with a design that from the moment you lay eyes on it is well- different.  The very first thing that will catch your eyes are the Supervents which stick up like pointy green ears off of the top of the helmet.  We’ve had a chance to thoroughly test helmet over the past couple of months and here’s our final verdict.

What We Liked:
The design of the helmet itself is definitely original.  The “Supervents” are definitely the most eye-catching feature (after the mutant-ooze green paint job).  Oddly enough, you can feel the helmet cooling your head while you ride.  This is something that we definitely liked because vented helmets have been around for a long time, but you don’t always feel them cooling your head.  We’ve all owned helmets with all sorts of combinations of vents, slats and other witchcraft to keep us cool- but its nice to actually have something that works.

Us Whining About Stuff:
Oddly enough the Supervents are one of our sources of whining.  Well, actually, we can’t really whine about the fact that they actually work at high speeds.  You’ll find that turning your head requires a bit more effort since you have essentially two small rudders on your head.  Its not the end of the world by any means, but its something you just have to be ready for.  The other thing, which is common to a bunch of other helmets on the market, is that the vents are hard to operate with riding gloves on-especially when the light’s just turned green.

Final Word:
We really like the Speed Cretin.  Icon’s been making helmets long enough to know what they are doing.  We’re pretty sure that some people aren’t going to like the Supervents and others aren’t going to like the design- but when you’re breaking new ground- sometimes you have to take chances.

We’ve read your bio. What lead you to St. Martin’s School of Art?
“We’ve read your bio?” Just how many of you are there?

I think I applied to St. Martins primarily out of spite. My senior-school art teacher said I had no artistic talent, and later on, my foundation-college tutor said that St Martins would never accept anybody from his college. So of course, I applied. I didn’t even specify a second choice School; I had decided it was St Martins or bust.

Of all the arts you could pursue, why photography?
I didn’t pursue photography, it pursued me. I’m still trying to out-run it, it’s tenacious. I’m currently looking for a safe-house. Actually, I initially specialized in advertising, but when I landed an Ad copywriters job, my co-workers were all so pompous.

Were you able to find a decent paying photography gig straight out of school, or did you have to do something on the side?
I don’t have anything on the side, that’s more of a Frenchman’s thing. I think former French president, Jacques Chirac, even had a mistress come to his funeral. I’m English you know, the French would call us ‘Les Rosbifs’. Sorry, I’m straying. In answer -I’m still looking for a decent paying photography gig, I drive a car that’s 38 years old.

What lead you across the pond to set up shop in America?
I didn’t set up any shops in America, though I do go shopping sometimes. Stuff is a lot cheaper here than in England. But I’d never emigrate for cheap shopping, that would be crazy, I was actually tempted over here by the lure of change. The only constant in life, is change. Somebody said that once, now I’ve said it too.

What was the hardest thing to get used to when you came to America?
Riding and driving, both very scary. They’ll give anybody a license here, I mean does anybody ever fail that driving test? Also food, when you go out to a restaurant, for some reason they put your whole days worth of calories on one plate…

How often do you get to head back to the U.K?
As often as I can, my parents don’t get to see their grand-kids nearly enough.

How long before you started shooting bikes were you riding them? Or vice versa?
Shooting bikes is illegal, I think. I know shooting people is, and bikes don’t go very far without a person to ride them. Maybe you can shoot a bike, if it’s on your own property and you don’t hit the rider, maybe? I’m not a legal professional. But shooting bikes while you’re riding them just sounds very dangerous to me.

However, I’ve always ridden bikes, I was a dispatch rider in the summer holidays off from St Martins, then later I was a bike instructor for six years. I rode well over 250,000 miles in that job alone, it was very tiring, my wrists ached for a long time.

Looking back on it, what was your big break as it pertains to your work getting noticed?
Big break? That would be nice, I’m looking forward to that. Though I have to thank Mike Seate for helping me break into books, and Aaron Frank for helping me within the magazine industry.

When you sit back and think about it, which photoshoot will you always remember? Why?
If I sit back, I’ll fall asleep, I’m getting very old. So I’ll stand up and think about it.

No, I’ve tried and I just can’t remember any photoshoots. Oh wait… No. False alarm. I think I just peed myself.

Hang on; there was a great one with the Bostrom brothers. Eric had just bought a restored Norton Commando (snarly, cool old bike), and within thirty seconds he was hanging the back wheel out, on a dirt track in his front yard. That blew me away. Why? Coz it’s really hard on an unforgiving bike like that.

Do people ever notice you when you’re out and about?
Not if I’m wearing camouflage.

If there is anyone looking to get into photography seriously, what advice would you give them?
If they’re looking seriously, then I guess they should practice their best serious expressions in the mirror. Though I think too many people take themselves seriously right now. Learn to laugh at yourself, and to admit mistakes, that’ll probably help you more than any specific job advice.

Did being a photographer ever get you any “special attention” from the ladies?
Not from “ladies” no. A rottweiler took a shine to me whilst shooting a chopper one day, it might have been a female, I didn’t hang around to ask.

What’s something that most people don’t know about you?
I don’t know, ask them. Then when you find out, tell me. I’d love to know.

Any shameful plugs/promotions?
You can take a look at my industry insider kind of diary here;

Or if any editors out there are feeling charitable, they can go to my site www.shotbysimon.com and give me the ‘big break’ I needed to answer your previous question more effectively.

If you are interested in having your product featured on our site we’d be glad to let you know what we think. Just email Jason at King-Cold.com at let him know.

Most people don’t know that TeamStunter.com’s own Matt L. was the first stunter that King-Cold.com ever sponsored. That was something like 2 or 3 years ago- and without him, I don’t think that King-Cold.com would be what it is today. We’ve met so many great stunters because of Matt, so you know it wouldn’t be right if he didn’t get a chance to explain himself in 10 Questions.

So, for all of you who don’t know who the stoppie king is, well after these questions- you may have a better idea about the man who will be winning a stoppie comp near you.

Big Scott has described you as the rockstar of TeamStunters, where do you think you fit into the team?
Well I try to bring a little excitement wherever we are, whether it be at a show or throwing some down at the bar. We always seem to have a blast wherever we are.

You’ve become quite well know in the stunt world for your stoppie prowess, why do you think stoppies have come so easily to you?
I’ve really focused alot on stoppies the past few yrs. I can remember like it was yesterday trying to roll stoppies on my ‘02 R1 and going maybe 20ft before the back end would start to veer. It was a challenge I was determined to master, so I spent months and months just going out to the spot rolling countless endoes until it started to click. To this day, the addiction is unmatched, and and I wouldnt trade the rush and excitement I get for anything.

If you weren’t a stunter, what occupation do you think you would have?
Funny you ask, but ever since I was little I wanted to be a cop. So glad I didnt go that route, lol

Who would you like to go face to face against in a longest stoppie competition?
I would actually want to roll against Eric Hoenshell, just for the fact that he beat me by a freakin foot at stuntwars 05 and stole first from me …I want my revenge! lol

What’s the best part of being a stunter?
The rush I get everytime I get on the bike, can’t beat it. And the travelling, definately fun times.

When you’re old, gray and collecting a social security check- how do you want to be remembered in the world of stunt?
The guy that rolled super, gangsta high, off the brake, stoppies…And was a really down to earth guy that would help anyone.

There’s video of you getting shamed by Scott with some shaving cream- what’s the best prank you ever played on Scott?
You know what, this one has yet to come, it’s just been building for the past yr or so. But it’s coming, oh yes, it’s coming…Muahahaha

What’s your most favoritest stunting memory?
I would have to say riding at Reliant Stadium in front of 40,000 screaming people…Will never forget that.

McDonald’s or Burger King?
I’m gonna have to say McDonalds, because someone once told me “You have more combos than McDonalds”

What was it like when you rolled your first big stoppie?
One word…Addicted

Teach was kind enough to sit down with us at King-Cold.com and answer our 10 Questions. So if you still don’t know who he is you can check out TeachTrix.net and read these 10 Answers from Teach himself!

We took Latin in high school and college. If you had a dollar for every girl you picked up with your Latin skills, what would you do with those zero dollars?
C’mon now man, you know I’ve got more skills than that! And besides, girls like a guy who is educated and speaks more than one language…but ya, I’ll probably invest those zero dollars into an IRA or something.

So you won a bunch of XDL’s, how do you think that bolsters your status as one of the best in the world?
Well, I won the East Coast XDL and am gunning for the National Championship in April. I think it definately helps my image and name in the international scene, but more importantly, I think it secures my spot in the U.S. as one of the handful of guys to beat. I’m bringing my ‘A’ game to every event and I hate losing!

How were you able to keep a teaching job with all the time demanding responsibilities of stunting?
Teaching and riding at the same time has always posed a bit of a problem, I use my ’sick days’ and then some every year. My school administration has been very understanding and even encouraging in my own pursuit of my dreams, so without their blessing, I would not have been able to pull it off as long as I have. This is my final year teaching while I pursue riding full time. I’ll eventually find my way back to the classroom though, I absolutely love kids.

Describe your ascension to the top of the riding game. I guess that’s not really a question, but begin!
I began riding for a group DTE (Driving To Endanger) way back in 2000 and it was pretty much downhill from there. I’ve competed at every XSBA event since the beginning and had a significant role in bringing sportbike freestyle to Live Nation events around the country. I’ve travelled to a few different countries doing shows and comps but always came up just a bit short. In 2006, I got rid of all the distractions and really dedicated myself to riding my motorcycle as best I could, and the results speak for themselves – I had four major wins last year and that has put a target on my back, but also served to motivate me even more.

Everyone’s got that trick it took them an abnormal amount of time to complete, what was yours?
I’ve been riding so long that I’m always just in front of the learning curve, so there isn’t really any one trick that I HAVE to learn to be at the top. I take baby steps because I’m getting older and I don’t like being hurt. However, that being said, the circle wheelie has taken me literally years to master…not to learn, that didn’t take long; but to master the circle – I’m not even sure I can claim that now, but I sure am close!

2006 was apparently a good year for Teach, what does 2007 hold?
2006 was a tremendous year for me professionally. There were a lot of challenges and distractions, but in the end all of my hard work paid off. 2007 will see much of the same. Now that I have that winning taste in my mouth, I do not want to relinquish it. I have stops all over the world and my image continues to grow in a positive manner. I have made the leap to full time rider this year and am giving that a go, so hopefully my successes will snowball and I’ll legitimately ‘pop clutches’ for a living…at least for a few years.

If you could go mano y mano against any rider in a sickest trick competition, who would you call out?
Sickest trick has never been my forte. Rarely do I have the single best trick of anyone out there, but I usually have the best 3-8 minutes of anyone out there and my ability to link it all together and entertain are what really set me apart. I wouldn’t mind battling Darius right now though. We have similar mastery of the bike, with differing styles that would make for a good battle…and I’ve already called him out at XDL!!

What is the most aggravating question that people ask you all the time?
I don’t really know that there is one. I’m pretty easy going and annoying stuff rolls off my back (or I wouldn’t be a middle school Latin teacher!). I guess questions like ‘what bike is the best for stunting’ drive me up the wall because the bike has little to do with it. Bikes don’t do tricks, people do tricks!

Who influenced you the most to ride a motorcycle beyond its intended purpose in front of thousands of screaming fans at a time?
The Starboyz were the first group I ever saw wheelying a bike, so they get the credit for that. Otherwise, I just generally enjoy entertaining and it comes very naturally to me. I’m a firm believer in the theory that ‘you either can or you can’t’. It applies to teaching and it applies to riding. Either you can entertain or you can’t, it is not something that is easily learned. Some of the best technical riders are the worst show riders because they are boring. I love pushing limites and love to make people smile…that’s why I nearly crash everytime I ride!

We feel like a dork when we tell people our “foreign language” was Latin, do you think stuntriding has vindicated you- or are you a nerd like us?
I’m a man who wears many hats and can flow easily amongst varying circles of people. I was a 3 sport Varsity athlete in HS, as well as a member of the National Honor Society. I love kids, I love bikes. I’m definately a geek in some senses of the word, but I was cool before riding and I’ll be cool after I’m done…but, I think stuntriding has vindicated other Latin ’scholars’! (ahem, Jason).

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!!!!!

You’re a pretty physically fit guy, how much does your fitness play into your stunt riding?
Fitness plays a huge role in the way I stunt. Or, should I say, stunting plays a huge role in the way I train. After being an athlete for over half my life, I find it hard not training for a purpose. That being said, I do a great deal of stability based exercises because I feel they best simulate the movement of the bike beneath me. I even do my heavy squat exercises on a half ball! I figure if I can balance an excess of 400 pounds on my back rep after rep, I should be able to balance on the bike.
How old were you when you announced to the world that you were going to be a stunter, and what was the reply?
I was the ripe-old age of 22 when I decide to become a stunter. I had been riding bikes years, yet I had never actually tried “stunting.” Unfortunately, my learning curve was somewhat slowed in the beginning because I was playing Division I football. You can imagine that my coach wasn’t all to thrilled to hear that I was putting my body in jeopardy off the playing field, let alone riding wheelies all over the Nashville streets. It wasn’t until I graduated from college that I was able to fully dedicate myself to the sport.

How much do you bench press?
How much do I bench press? There a question that I hear all the time! The answer is…. 490lbs. Kids don’t try this at home.

The DFW area is fast becoming the center of the stunting universe, how does it feel to be around all the big names in the sport and practice spots in the area?
I don’t think too much about the “big names,” being “big names” because these guys are first and foremost my friends. Because of my athletic career, I have many friends in the NFL, NBA, and in MLB. Mostly, I just see the guys as friends that have the job of their dreams. However, I would like to say that the guys I have been fortunate enough to ride with are true professionals in my opinion. These guys are some of the big names in stunting, but they are still approachable. To me, that is true professionalism. Tim Barnes, Big Scott, Zach Shockey, Matt L., and Eric Hoenshell, are all guys that are 1st class, and I thank them for their friendship and all the help and advice they have given me.

When people find out there’s so much more to you than a personal trainer or stunter, how does their demeanor change in respect to how they treat you?
I really don’t feel that I get treated differently when my other talents are exposed. I have always considered myself a “Jack of all trades and Master of none.” Music has been a part of my life since the age of six. As a result, I’ve learned to play 5 instruments. I have been a commissioned artist since junior high, but no one in my band knew. I released two albums my senior year in high school, but I never told anyone on my college football team. I was one of the most highly recruited football players out of the state of Texas in the year 2000, and I still hold many high school and collegiate records, but I’ve never told anyone that I ride with. I do all these things for me and no one else. To be honest, I don’t really tell anyone about my talents unless they ask.

Being African-American, how do you feel about making a name for yourself in a sport that is dominated by Caucasians?
At first I thought nothing of it. As an African-American male living in the South, being a minority is always the way life has been. For example, I went to a University with an African-American population that, throughout my 5 years of attendance, never exceeded 12% of the student body. I don’t really look at it as a disadvantage, but rather, an advantage. How many Black stunters are there? Not very many. In fact being African-American is what sets me apart. I don’t have to paint my bike some crazy color or wear some ridiculous outfit to get noticed, I just have to show up and chances are, I will be the only black guy at the spot. Quite frankly, the only problem I have is being mistaken for Jason Britton. I can’t really establish my own identity in stunting because people always seem to think I am Jason so they request autographs and inquire about DVD’s. Not that this really bothers me (honestly it is flattering, because Jason is one of the riders I most look up to) but, I would like to meet people using my own name. Maybe I will start wearing a name tag! (LOL).

What do you listen to when you are getting ready to ride versus what you listen to when you’re getting ready to work out?
I love all music, so to some people my “ lot mix” may seem a little obscure. Nonetheless, on the way to the spot I listen to: Lupe Fiasco , Eminem , James Brown , Methodman , Lincoln Park, and the elements known as Earth Wind and Fire. For me, stunting can sometimes produce high anxiety so I like to listen to music that soothes but inspires, and also relaxes me so that I don’t over-think. On the flip side, the Gym it is something totally different. When I’m under the bar I like to listen to: Pantera, Pearl Jam, Metalica, Powerman 5000, and AC/DC. Like I said, some of these selections may not go together, but that’s my collection.

According to your Myspace, you graduated from Vanderbilt. Do you feel that you are using your degree- or are you just doing what you love?
Yes, I do feel that I am using my degrees. I may not hold a job title that includes my chosen degree tracks, but I think I am able to apply the knowledge I have obtained. My first degree is a liberal arts business degree including psychology, entrepreneurship, and business models. All of these principles are exactly the things that have helped me to establish and manage my own fitness company. Furthermore, my second degree is in Religious Studies. This is the degree I use to avoid offending anyone. Honestly, it’s an ice breaker because religion is a topic many people are passionate about. If you can connect with someone on such a sacred/personal level, it can be a great way to make a new friend. Then again, if you are not careful, religion is also a great way to lose that same friend.

If you could go one of one versus any stunter in the world… who would it be and what would the competition be (e.g. stoppies, sickest trick, etc…)
As of now, I don’t know that I would take on a one-on-one versus with anyone. Personally, I feel that I have to master my own stunting style before I can go challenge other stunters. Nonetheless, you better believe that I have a list. I’ll definitely give you an update when I am ready.

Why do you stunt? Is it for the attention, self expression, suicidal tendencies- what drives you to lay it on the line?
I’ve ask myself that question for a few years now, and I have come to one conclusion: I like to stunt, because I like stunting. I think stunting includes all of the things you mentioned. Sometimes I do like the attention- there is nothing like hearing an occasional wow, or damn. And maybe I do have suicidal tendencies- I find myself getting the most excited when things almost go wrong because there is no better rush than almost wrecking. And in regards to self expression- Is there any better way? I mean, our bikes change in regards to set-up and appearance more than the custom guys, everyone’s style is different, and nothing says “I could care less” than road rash, spray paint, and zip ties.

King-Cold.com was fortunate enough to sit down and talk to one of the new up-and-comers in the stunt game today. Zach Shockey is riding with Team Stunters.com and the 21 year-old has already been dubbed “The Rookie.” He’s becoming an in demand rider with appearances all across the nation.

Zach’s a cool character with a down to earth demanor. At times he seems like he’s taking all the new found fame in stride, but at other points he has this grin on his face because I think inside, he’s still a fan.

King-Cold.com did the following interview with Zach recently after his DVD debut on Those Crazy Texans produced by Stunters.com. Note: the interview has been edited slightly for clarity.

King-Cold.com: Who are your favorite riders out now- ?

Zach: probably Kane, Darius, Hoenshell, Joe Vertical, Teach, Alex Flores, and Sillyneck.

King-Cold.com: So how did you meet Big Scott?

Zach: Actually about a week after I got my F4i I was learning circles out at the spot

King-Cold.com: What was your first impression of him?

Zach: I was intimidated honestly because i knew of him but had never met him so i was really nervous about talking to him but it worked out in the end

King-Cold.com: So did you try to impress him or were you just kinda freaked out to be stunting at the same spot as him?

Zach: It kind of flipped flopped between the two, because I new I was picking up really fast for some reason, I mean it only took me basically two weeks to learn circles.

King-Cold.com: So was he an inspiration to you?

Zach: Oh yeah definitely [I] had seen the Xperience and knew who he was. I had hoped he would ask me to join up with the team.

King-Cold.com: So how did you feel when he asked you to join the team?

Zach: I was really stoked and happy at the same time. I was really happy, it felt like it had paid off a little.

King-Cold.com: So what then was it like meeting Matt L.?

Zach: I was happy too I have a really high respect level for matt, He’s a really good rider and has been in the game a long time.

King-Cold.com: What’s the travel vibe like with you all in the infamous Stunters.com bus?

Zach: Sometimes it can get serious after like 20 straight hours on the road but 99% of the time it’s really laid back. I think all three of us get together [more often] than most people and their family.

King-Cold.com: How do they treat you being the baby of the bunch?

Zach: Usually I’m the one that has to do more of the work than others but I enjoy it, and I am always the one who falls asleep first and gets sharpied but they have more years and experience on me so I don’t let it bother me

King-Cold.com: Speaking of the sharpie, I just finished watching the Those Crazy Texans DVD and Kyle Woods refers to you as “the rookie” can you explain that?

Zach: Umm, yeah that is good one: Tim Barnes, Kyle Woods and I were in El Paso, Texas doing an arena show, and it was the first time I had met him and from day one he started calling me rookie and for some reason it stuck and its not going anywhere.

King-Cold.com: At least people know who you are now. How has being in a DVD changed things for you?

Zach: I know more people are going to know of me and I think it really steps up the game for the whole team to be on top of the game.

King-Cold.com: So what do you think you bring to TeamStunters.com?

Zach: I think I bring some stupidity, balls and a hope for the best [attitude]. Plus I am really easy going and easy to get along with. I am also always pushing people to push themselves

King-Cold.com: How does it feel when you’re at a show and the crowd’s screaming your name?

Zach: It makes me feel really good about putting in those long hours at the lot till 2 am and then going to work at 5 am and doing it all over again.

King-Cold.com: So you balance a “real” job on top of stunting?

Zach: Yes I do;  I work a 9-5.

King-Cold.com: Do you ever get noticed when you’re out and about?

Zach: [Yes] just basically people from high school and people I haven’t seen in years. The first thing they always say is, “dude, I saw you on the internet.”

King-Cold.com: So were you the geek in high school now earning their respect or were you always the cool kid?

Zach: I was kind of geek believe it or not, I had fast cars and bikes but I kind of stayed away from the party scene.

King-Cold.com: So do the ladies treat you better now?

Zach: Yeah they do.

King-Cold.com: So do you think its hard to balance the fame and stay humble?

Zach: It’s very hard to take care of the kid, wife and work and ride at the same time but its all worth it!!!

King-Cold.com: Is there anything you’d like to let the world know about Zach Shockey and TeamStunters.com?

Zach: Those Crazy Texans DVD pick up a copy and check out the kung fu, Zachshockey.com, Stunters.com.

King-Cold.com: You got any more shout-outs?

Zach: To the wife, daughter, family , Big Scott, Matt L., all my boys at the lot, and most importantly ALL MY SPONSORS for making it possible, and of course Jason at King-cold.com.

King-Cold.com: Shameful plug, but appreciated…. thanks for sitting down with us.

Zach: Your welcome
