Practice man practice and endurance and perseverance.

I even have some videos of his shows that he gave me. They are simply amazing.

He loves stunting. That is his passion, life and daily bread. But not motorcycling.

Xbhp owes you one for this Ken.
I wish so too; skills in any domain actually...

One more thing that we all know, but tend to ignore is, he got the oppurtunity to wear the famed Cape n cowl!! all the time people wonder its Bale doing the stunts but unfortunately no! Makes me remember Chris Corbould mention,' I knew only one guy in the world can ride this thing and thats Jean Pierre'

How did you get this gr8 oppurtunity to meet him??? please share with us!

M sharing a pic here..during the subway chase with Mr. Goy.

Hey, thanks for sharing that rare pic of the preps and props. How did you manage to get hold of that picture?

As for how I managed to get hold of JP Goy is a kind of tall story. There is a tiny xBhp chapter that I have managed to start in France. There are some members who visit but do not post. One of them being Valérie Honoré without whose help this article would not have been possible. She managed to get hold of JP Goy, convince him for an interview, despite a tight schedule and I managed to get this work done. JP Goy is one great guy, down to earth and easy-going. He was 7 hours jet lagged when I met him. But he did not hesitate to talk to me, show me around and even entertain Maël, my 8 year old son.

Why dont you? If you feel interested, inspired, want to do it, you should go ahead... there will be another good stunter amongst us then.

(Aside: As the grapevine goes, apparently you have taken an interest in developing stunting skills!)

Fantastic guy and interview. It must have been difficult getting hold of him, now if next could be Chris Pfeiffer!
I could get you Chris Pfeiffer too if he lived in France

Thanks for the approval.
