    Well, it was told by the Staff People after the episode was over, when they were describing Shooting events... So, that's a confirmed info.

    Now, I know why we have less racetracks, don't we?

        • The target audience must have got enticed, coz normal people would feel or accept it to be dangerous!!

          But that bike falling from 40th floor was all Bull Crap!.....

          The show was so bore, that I yawned to sleep............
          Every time i am able to change my bike's engine oil, i feel like passing another semester amongst thousands, of being a proficient rider.

          • I just saw Stuntmania now. Damn, my favourite Vartika is out ...

            I guess doing it gives more thrills than watching... I mean, I would enjoy 180 kmph on straight road, and they did the same falling downwards...

                Favourite , man she was one of the the worst contestants .sorry

                And they were not falling at 180 Km/hr . If it was 180km/hr it would have taken less than 3 secs to reach the ground . they actually reached in around 10-15 seconds .assuming they too 12 secs the speed comes to around 45km/hr [Simple maths calculations ]

                  Last year alone Rs 10 lakh/ tonne was the rise in price of Tar i dont have idea how much it costs but i heard this from a road contractor.

                  The top speed while falling may have been 180kmph not the average speed

                    They said they counted the time taken from A To B and B to A & did not take into account time spent on point B which includes time taken to turn the bike etc

                    Yes the 2nd episode was much better than the first one & I hope it only gets better.

                    As for Sunny, its really irritating to see him blowing his trumpet without really doing anything spectacular. I understand that he needs to market himself to some extent but he is going over the top. He really needs to learn humility.

                    Oh really next time you are in 40 storey building try to look down from the terrace & you will realize how scary that Stunt could have been.

                      I dont think so , see the episode videos again and you can clearly see the fall is quite gentle and easy .

                      well naturally they had to think of something to save their better stunters . they also said this point A ,B thing after the participants did it and not before javed participated .

                      • the time counted was not for the point A to B... they have calculated the time of the bike start from the word GO... whoever had their bike started and running in the least time was to win... but still i feel these stunts are only for the thrills of the show.

                        By the way does any of you know of any particular academy or group who can teach basic stunts.. like wheelies, stoppies, etc

                          Yes that could very well be the case & I am glad that they did it as I dont see anyone who is better than him (Adil or Sunny might be but we are yet to see them perform)

                          No it was from A-B & B-A & as Puneet said they mentioned it during the elimitaion round & not earlier.

                            Even im glad they kept him . The girls ant even start a bike and call themselves bikers

                            Also they asked the other girls to go inside so noone gets advantage in going last etc but we can clearly see one contestent in a frame .


                            All these reality shows are scripted upto 90% but still many believe them to be Reality

                              Excellent catch there buddy..!! should really send to MTV
                              ofcourse it is scripted, thats why we dont see the real capable stunters who auditioned are not on the show..!

                              • This particular episode was utter disgusting, i thought that was a nasty crash the girl in the yellow team took, that one must have hurt.
                                One of the chicks in the red team learned the burn out the very same day so exactly what stunt does she perform on the basis of which she is part if the stuntmania.
                                Abt the stunt, maybe they should have asked the girls to kickstart the bikes and not switch start. Would have made a better stunt.
