The only way to find out any information or learn anything about how to do stunts and how to get into the stunt profession was to pry it out of a live person who was actually a stunt performer. That's how it's always been done. I was lucky that I had a friend who was a stunt performer. I started to specifically train only the things that would skyrocket my stunt career. I was lucky to have a friend like that.
Most people start with alot of trial and error.
Doing what they hope will bring them the greatest benefit. That didn't make much sense to me. But first, let me tell you why and how I got into this crazy business in the first place. One of the coolest things about doing stunts are all the great things you get to do everyday. This is probably the number one reason I got into performing stunts in the first place.
