Vehicles
There is, quite frankly, not much that we haven’t achieved in the exciting world of vehicle chases and action.
Dave, a once successful motorcycle racer, has himself performed many chases, jumped motorcycles and cars hundreds of feet, rolled numerous cars and trucks and more recently doubled David Bautiste in a spectacular motorcycle chase through a football stadium for the Film “Final Score”. The chase concluded with a wire assisted leap from the 90ft high stadium roof. The scene was credited with a prestigious Taurus World Stunt Award nomination for ‘Best work with a Vehicle’. That same year Bollywood’s answer to “The Fast and the Furious” series; “Race 3” received a nomination for ‘Best Action in a Foreign film’. Dave was the Stunt Coordinator!
With a great passion for creating high end chases Dave strives to undertake new and creative ways to surprise and excite the audience. As an Honours Degree Graduate in Mechanical Engineering and with a firm foundation in stunt vehicle preparation, Dave plays a key roll in the design of ramps, cannons, driver protection systems and can offer a highly experienced engineering team for all vehicle preparation, ramp and cannon builds, gimbals, etc…..etc.
In 2002 at the International Stuntman Festival, Moscow, Dave successfully jumped his specially prepared BMW a massive 250ft landing in a lake.
A distance never previously attempted into water.
Dave prepared the vehicle and pipe ramp and also takes the wheel in this spectacular multiple roll for the Thriller / Horror “Hard Shoulder”
For the 2018 David Bautista movie “Final Score” Dave doubled DB for an exciting motorcycle chase through a crowded football stadium. The chase concluded with a wire assisted leap from the 90ft high stadium roof. Dave headed the rigging team and rode the stunt receiving a Taurus nomination for “Best work with a vehicle”
