From the dirt tracks of America's heartland to the bright lights of the country's biggest speedways, American Daredevils brings to life the stories of the men who proudly carry the torch lit by Evel Knievel. These daredevils travel the country performing live, death-defying acts without the luxuries of rehearsals or second chances.
It's the beginning of the daredevil stunt season and Mr. Dizzy, Dr. Danger, and Spanky and Bryan Spangler are all champing at the bit to get their first stunts of the year under their belts. For Spanky an epic wreck during his car jump.
Dr. Danger has made a promise to himself to climb out of obscurity. Now, the tiny desert town of Kingman Arizona is the spot where Danger is determined to prove himself worthy of the daredevil moniker by flying a full-sized school bus through the air.
After a promoter witnessed his incredible Bus Jump in Kingman, Dr. Danger's been invited to perform at the dirt track in Pahrump. With a limited window to prepare, Doc's bringing a unique twist to his Fire Wall stunt.
Hot on the heels of a major blow up with his headliner, Crusher, Mr. Dizzy turns his attention to patching things up and executing his 8-stunt spectacular, Crash Factory Live. Jumps, crashes, and smashes abound.
The Spanglers have arrived at Charlotte Motor Speedway, for the biggest stunt of their season thus far. With their "fly-by" car jump and dark clouds threatening rain looming, the pressure takes its toll on the father/son duo.
With a successful car spiral under his belt, Mr. Dizzy puts the next phase of his epic scheme for CMS into play. To turn heads, Dizzy's going out on a limb financially and investing his entire bankroll in a limousine.
The dirt track at CMS is the scene of a showdown between Mr. Dizzy and Dr. Danger. The daredevils have been invited to perform two stunts in one night. For Dizzy, this is a golden opportunity to prove that he has what it takes.
Tonight, Mr. Dizzy and Dr. Danger are both booked to perform in front of thousands of fans at Charlotte Motor Speedway's dirt track. This is the first time that Danger and Dizzy have shared a bill, and they've been fighting like cats and dogs.
Crusher is sent to Vancouver by Mr. Dizzy to headline two stunts. After the promoter offers up a car, Crusher decides to throw in a third stunt, but he may have bitten off more than he can chew.
Since his horrific crash in Charlotte, Spanky Spangler has been sidelined and Bryan Spangler has been thrust into the spotlight. So tonight, Bryan's headlining at the world famous Texas Motor Speedway.
