What to Expect
From soaring high above the amphitheater to smashing through walls of fire, Daredevil Wednesday is packed with non-stop action from start to finish.
Crazy John’s Street Drag Invitational
The sights, sounds and smells of badass motorcycles thundering by at speeds of up to 120 mph will raise the hair on the back of your neck when racers peel off the drag strip line in the middle of The Chip’s legendary amphitheater.
Blake Wallenda Highwire Performances
The action starts long before the sun goes down when Blake Wallenda turns himself into a human fireball, launching into the Bikini Beach swimming hole in a blazing spectacle that caps off the Bikini Beach Bike Show.
Then, as Daredevil Wednesday reaches new heights, Wallenda returns to his highwire for a breathtaking world-record attempt. Watch him balance above the Buffalo Chip as he attempts the longest handstand ever performed on a highwire before taking on a bicycle ride suspended high overhead with nothing but open air beneath him.
Chucky’s World Record Tandem Fire Wall Smash
Chucky Crash isn’t exactly known for playing it safe.
During last year’s fire wall smash attempt, he lived up to his name and broke both his hip and wrist. Now he’s back to chase yet another world record with a tandem fire wall smash, proving once again that some people simply are not wired for caution.
Monster Wall Smash Featuring Unsung Zero and Regular Sized Joe
Unsung Zero and Regular-Sized Joe return for the annual Monster Wall Smash, blasting through a wall built from 1200 cans of Monster Energy Drinks on mini bikes before inviting the crowd to parade through the aftermath. It’s weird, messy and exactly the kind of insanity Daredevil Wednesday was built for.
Contraption & Mini Bike Parade
The spray from the Monster Wall won’t have even settled before the next spectacle begins.
Watch an eclectic parade of mini bikes, homemade machines and wonderfully weird contraptions rumble through the wreckage of the Monster Wall Smash. This rolling celebration of creativity and controlled chaos is a Buffalo Chip tradition that proves Big Daredevil Energy isn’t just for the pros. Gather round to drink up all the fizzy remnants you want, for free.
All Balls Racing Steel Bridge Jump & Show
Some stunts are so ambitious they don’t happen on the first try.
After last year’s steel bridge jump proved too dangerous to attempt, the boys from All Balls Racing are ready to make history. Watch as Jake Masters and Jeremy “Ripper Ray” Noriega launch motorcycles over the legendary Buffalo Chip steel bridge while Cody Willenborg and Carson Brown keep the action raging below with smoky burnouts and high-octane motorcycle mayhem.
Motorcycle Stunts, Street Drag & Controlled Chaos
The action doesn’t stop between headline stunts.
Catch performances from Get Vertical, Senders Only and The Concrete Cowboys as they fill the amphitheater with burnouts, drifting, wheelies, chase scenes and precision motorcycle stunts that leave the pavement smoking.
