I have spent the week rigging and preparing for one of the most diffacult car stunts possible, the Sidewinder. It was successfully used in the movie Swordfish, but this time I is adding some unknowns. For the first time a 15 passenger van will be used, adding in additional safety and technical issues. Make sure you check back thought the week for more prep and then sunday morning to see fantastic crash.
