Hey there, I’m Damoy Miller, also known as Champy Stunts or the Crazy Kid. I’m 18, from Jamaica and now living in Crestview, FL. My ride is a 2016 Yamaha FZ09, fully stunted out with triple calipers on the back for the hand brake, a sprocket upgrade from 45 to 52, and a stunt cage from FMS. My dad even made my 12 bar. Some folks say it’s not the ideal stunt bike, but I love the challenge. Riding has been my passion since I was 14, and it all started with my family and friends. It wasn’t until 2019 that I developed a real interest in bikes, and my dad got me my own in July 2022, a 2023 250 Zamco. I dove into stunting the next month, and I’ve been improving ever since.
One of my best memories is cruising to school, popping wheelies in my uniform. It was liberating to be young and carefree with everyone watching. My big dream is to travel the world and perform in shows, getting paid for doing what I love most.
To my fellow riders, I would say this: never give up, always push beyond your comfort zone, and embrace the fear because it’s a sign of progress. Embrace failure as a part of the journey, and never hesitate to try something new.
Connect with me on Instagram and Facebook Instagram: Champy_stunts Facebook: Champy stunts I’d love to share my journey with you!
My names is Vanessa Garrison as known as Babywheelies in the stunt community. I was giving that nickname back when I 1st started doing wheelies and could only get the front wheel off the ground about 2 foot. lol I kept that nickname because I knew in my heart one day I would be a great stunt rider and would be reminded of how far I came.
I’m from a small town called Alton Illinois right across the bridge from STL MO. ST.Lous was known for the legendary stunt rides called ROC. (Ride of the Century). If you know you know what an amazing event it was. Thousands of people would come from all across the country for this ride. It was truly an amazing.
My love for motorcycles started at the age of 28. My brothers and father all rode motorcycles. Both brothers Andy and Joey Garrison was stunt riders too. They are the reason why I started riding. They made it look so fun and knew one day I would do it too. The moment I knew I was gonna get a bike and became a stunter was after my 1st stunt ride known as the “ghetto street ride”. Seeing this group of stunters riding and preforming mind blowing tricks changed my life. It was like a light switch clicked on and I knew this would become my passion.
At the time I was a single mother of one beautiful girl named Aliyah. She was about 3 years old so it was a major challenge to not only save up the money for a bike but
finding the time to balance being a good mom, working and time to ride. But I had my heart set and worked my ass off, working 2 jobs. Meanwhile day dreaming hours and hours of me on my new bike doing crazy tricks. My day dreaming got me through many rough midnight shifts lol A year later got my 1st motorcycle. I got a 08 ninja 250. I was 29 at the point and didn’t even know how to ride yet. My brothers and friends taught me how to ride and about 8 months after I traded my ninja 250 for my 1st clapped out stunt bike which was a 03 Yamaha R6. I wanted to start learning how to do wheelies immediately. My brothers hated the idea at 1st scared I’d get hurt but after showing them I was gonna do it with or without their help they finally came around and started to teach me. That 1st summer all I could do was Babywheelies. It was the most scary but thrilling feeling at the same time.
Frustrated from practicing 3 months on the weekend I got discouraged but didn’t give up, But my bike did and blew up the motor lol I was so broken hearted. All the time and work I put into it and had to start over again. I hustled hard for a year and got an another bike. 3rd bike was a Honda F4I. Now this bike was set up a lot better and within the 1st month on it I learned how to do balance point wheelies. I only had the weekends to practice so I had to make that time count. I would do about 6 to 8 hours a day or until I broke something on it. Which felt like every time I practiced lol I literally put my blood, sweat and tears into this sport and fell madly in love with it. Nothing I’ve ever done (besides having my amazing daughter) make me feel this way. My mind was constantly day dreaming of new tricks and became obsessed with progressing and learning new ones.
Years have went by and I made it further than I ever imagined I could possibly go. My best advice to anyone who is wanting to learn how to stunt ride would be make a check list of All the tricks you want to learn and then picture yourself doing that trick. Daydream in detail and actually feel it. It will help I promise. Also be nice to yourself while u practice. Encourage yourself with every trick. It can get super frustrating but if you keep practicing over and over til your about sick of it then do it more and guess what one day it will just click lol it will be the most rewarding feeling ever imaginable.
I’ve been riding/stunt riding for about 12 years now. I’ve had about 8 motorcycles and 2 have been my favorite. The 03/04 Kawasaki 636 and 2016 Yamaha FZ07 have won my heart lol but I honestly love them all.
I live in Jacksonville Florida now, and one of the reasons I moved here so I could ride all year. I love the motorcycle/ stunt community. Seems like everywhere you go you’re welcomed by other riders whichever city or state. It feels like a family. I’ve traveled a lot all over the years to giant lot sessions , stunt contest and just linking up for big stunt rides. Making
friendships and memories that I’ll treasure til I go. So grateful for those experiences and know when I’m old I’ll look back on those days and feel young again. Feel proud of the accomplishing, crazy tricks that seemed impossible.
I’ve pretty much accomplished all my goals for what I do. I’ve learned and checked off my list of tricks, gotten some sponsors and brand ambassadors, preformed in shows and competitions. But honestly I’ve never had the mind set to be better than anyone but myself. Always try to be better than the last time I rode.
I really appreciate everyone that helped me along the way, my boyfriend Victor Cornell for always fixing my bike and being motivating, my family, stunt family my sponsors and brand ambassadors. Atown Customs for my crash cages, sub cages, sub frame and 12 bars. Bad Ass Industries for my steel frames. I’ve had so many different stunt parts on my bikes over the years I can’t even list them all lol
I love to ride because it always brings me peace, it makes me fearless but humbled,it’s my true love and couldn’t imagine life without it.
HABLAMOS ESPAÑOL
I’m 37 years old and I have a 19-year-old son. I am from Ontario, Canada, and I currently reside in Ontario. I own three bikes: a 2020 Honda Grom, a 2014 Yamaha WR 250, and a 2003 Kawasaki 636. My 2003 Kawasaki 636 has been customized for shows and lots. It sports a magura master with NDC brake setup and a full street fighter look. My Grom is fully customized, and the WR250 is my dirt rider/street machine, also fully built and tuned.
I have been into stunting for 11 years, and I have been riding since I was 6. My father’s love for riding sparked my interest and involvement at a young age. I first saw stunt riding at a show when I was 10, and I got hooked with endos. My first bike was a 1992 Kawasaki Ninja 600, which I bought in 2012. It wasn’t a stunt bike, but it got me started. After its 2nd gear blew out, I purchased a 2013 Yamaha R6, which led me to the lots and streets with new friends I made after moving from the countryside to the city. I connected with other riders through social media and would like to thank my friend @ slenderman557 for letting me and my buddy tag along.
I started riding later in life, having become a father to my son at the age of 18. He has always supported me in this sport wholeheartedly, giving me 100000% encouragement to be better. I don’t have a dream bike, as I love many, but I would love to have an adventure bike to travel to places all over the world.
Have I ever fallen? Yes, countless times, but my worst was an endo at 70mph. The bars went left, and I headed straight to the pavement headfirst. I dislocated my right thumb, separated my shoulder by 3 inches, and even had a seizure from the head injury. I was placed in a coma for 8 hours, and my partner of 18 years had to start planning my funeral as it was uncertain if I would survive. Despite this, it did not deter me from pursuing my passion for becoming a great stunt rider and showman. I had a cast on my hand for 6 weeks due to the dislocation. As soon as the cast was off, I was on a pit bike every day for 6 hours. It was the best thing that happened to me, helping me stay away from chemical narcotics. This year marks my 6th year of being clean, and I am 6 years ahead in becoming the best version of myself in this game. I have one main goal: to be part of the 500’ club with my friends @jessetoler and @rodneysargent. These riders have been my role models for years. Rodney is an inspiration,
having fought cancer and still riding like a champ. Riding helps me release my inner demons. When I start that bike, everything wrong fades away, and I feel on top of the world. I owe the biggest shoutout to my friend @dropback.p for our 12 years of friendship and memories. #teamnoplans. This man has brought endless happiness into my life and brought me to the States.
My advice for other riders is that just because you’re not at the balance point right now doesn’t mean you won’t figure out the balance in life. We need to fall nine times to get up once.

My name is Makaya, and I’m 23 years old. I was born and raised in Cocoa Beach, Florida. I was raised with the beach in my backyard and grew up surfing my whole life. Which gave me a love for adrenaline. I have a 2022 KTM EXC-F 500 and a 2015 Honda Grom 125. The KTM has a Graves exhaust and a Dyno Jet tune; the Grom has a Grombeardo-modded oil pump and zoom exhaust, and I put a 2017 motor in it. I started riding about 3 years ago on the Grom. When I first got the Grom, I wanted to learn how to wheelie, so after a couple of weeks of riding and putting a 12 bar on the back, I started learning how to wheelie.
With that small amount of experience came many falls and road rash (my friends used to call me loop queen, which was my original Instagram handle), but falling as much as I did taught me how to use my foot break. I also had a pretty big fall with Robyn that most people on social media have probably seen; she and I were doing tandems, and I slipped off the gas tank and took us both down, but luckily, she is very experienced and handled it very well. I have one of my dream
bikes, the KTM, but I would love to get a Kawasaki 636 one day. My goals are to keep riding and getting better at wheelie my KTM. I ride for numerous reasons, but the biggest one is the community. Bikes have given me a home, I have made some of my closest friends through riding, and it’s an incredible community, especially all the girls. They are all so supportive of each other, always helping each other. My most significant advice is don’t compare your progress to anyone else’s; focus on your goals even if it takes 5 years to achieve them. Keep putting in that work, and don’t quit till you get to where you want to be. My Instagram is @mxkayaxx

My name is Edi Peace. I’m 27 years old, and I’m from Bosnia and Herzegovina. I currently split my time between Pensacola, Florida, and Greensboro, North Carolina. I own a Harley Davidson Dyna, Yamaha MT 07, Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R, and Kawasaki Z125. My passion for stunt riding began after watching a Brian 636 video, ROC 2019, in St. Louis. I was inspired to buy my first motorcycle the day after watching it during the Covid-19 lockdown, and I’ve never looked back. Riding clears the noise in my head; it’s my escape and freedom. Despite a severe accident in 2023, where an older lady pulled out in front of me, causing me to collide with her car and sustain severe injuries, I still chose to ride after months of recovery and multiple surgeries.
One of my biggest riding goals was to master wheelies, and now I feel like I’ve achieved that. I also aspire to perform more technical tricks, such as no-handers and hand drags, which I find to be the cleanest tricks.
My advice to new riders is to consider the risks, as one moment can change everything for the worse. However, riding has the power to make everything better as well. It’s crucial to respect the bike and life in general.
Shouting out to the love of my life, my amazing daughter: “We rocked a show together back when she was just 4 at Cox Harley Davidson. That girl had zero fear in her heart. I’m bursting with pride to be Mia’s dad!”
Meet the incredible Oneway Lil ‘Man, Alex, a rising star born in 2012 and sponsored by unique brands like SE Bikes, Mendid, Bespokebikelife, and Monster Tour Water, alongside many other supportive companies!
Oneway Lil’ Man is the Youngest; in charge at only 12 years old.
The nickname “Lil’ Man” stuck with him since he was a baby because his parents thought he looked like a little man with a baby body. Born into a family of motorcycle enthusiasts, with both parents and his 2-year-old
sister, Alexa, already riding bikes, it was no surprise that.
Lil’ Man developed a love for bikes at an early age. Instead of baby toys, he played with replica 1:12 scale dirt bikes and motorcycles, even sleeping with them.
By 18 months, he was already riding a Strider balance bike and doing wheelies. He transitioned directly to a 16” BMX bike at two years old without training wheels. He then progressed to learning throttle control on his sister’s Honda 50 with
training wheels and started riding with his parents on trails.
After watching Bikelife riders on YouTube, he was inspired to join the Bikelife wheelie scene. Just before his 5th birthday, SE Bikes was throwing the biggest Philly Rideout, so we went out and got him his first SE Bike as an early 5th birthday present so he could attend the Rideout. He began riding it daily, practicing jumps and wheelies. By eight years old, he was proficient in doing wheelies and even hosted his own 8th birthday Rideout, where he caught the attention of Oneway Corey and Oneway Ry.
He worked hard to gain Oneway Corey’s attention and acceptance into Oneway. Once in Oneway, Lil’ Man continued grinding and learning new tricks. At that time, Oneway Cyy was transitioning from pedal bikes to dirt bikes, and he would show up for rides on his KX100. Lil’ Man was fascinated by that, and he told Cyy I will be with you next year because I’m getting a 65 for Christmas. So, on Christmas of 2020, Lil’ Man got his first YZ65. His parents taught him how to use the clutch in the garage on mom’s special edition R1, and on his first day out on the YZ65, he was running through the gears in the abandoned golf course near his house. With the power of the twostroke engine, he could pop wheelies but had difficulty controlling them. So now he wanted a four-stroke klx110. So, he got the 110 since it was quieter and more accessible to ride at home without bothering the neighbors. He could practice daily and better himself in the driveway on the 110. While learning to ride dirt bikes, he never stopped riding his pedal bike daily. By nine years old, he gained enough attention from SE Bikes, and Todd Lyons from SE Facetimed him to join the crew as their
youngest sponsored rider. He cried. He was so excited. Two months later, they took him on a trip to Colombia— yes, South America—to ride his bike with Beastmode Marshawn Lynch.
Lil’ Man continued working hard towards perfecting his skills on the bikes and traveling throughout the US. He started getting recognition from celebrities like Meek Mill and Lil Uzi Vert, and at just ten years old, he appeared on the Jennifer Hudson show as a guest to showcase his talent. He first met Lil Uzi Vert on Rodeo Dr in California. The two were walking towards each other, both smiling. Lil’ Man says, “No way,” as he is in shock, and Uzi replies, “Oneway Lil’ Man, what’s up?” Lil’ Man could not believe Uzi knew who he was. He stayed in contact with Uzi and eventually got to ride with him on the streets of Philadelphia, filming a documentary.
At this time, Lil’ Man had his own Banshee, crf150, and a YZ85 with a Dreamchasers graphic kit from Grapicsmaxx. With Meek Mill always supporting and reposting Lil’ Man on his Instagram story, his next goal was finally meeting him. So, Lil’ Man got a Surron to be able to hit the streets more often and ride outside without getting hassled by cops. One night, he waited outside the back entrance to the powerhouse concert, and when Meek Mill drove out, he saw Lil’ Man and told him to follow me. The two got around the corner and took some pics, and Meek said, “Come on, we are going to go bip Broad Street. I’ll follow you and record you for Instagram!” That was one heck of a viral video. The Surron electric bike helped Lil’ Man progress on the dirt bikes. He could ride it daily to practice and then transition the tricks to real dirt bikes. One trick that he wanted to learn and is very impressive
for a kid (who at the time was only 11) is no hands. He took some hard spills, but he never gave up. Nowadays, you can catch Lil’ Man riding anything on wheels, from a 50cc to a 450cc ATV, Harley, and anything in between. His most significant advice for his fans is “Never Give Up,” he sells those shirts on his website at www. onewaylilman.com. His future goals are to get endorsement deals, more TV show appearances, and to work with more celebrities and brands to represent the bikelife culture.
All while continuing to grow his social media presence. He currently has over 1.5 million subscribers on YouTube, where he tries to document all his riding. Still, YouTube can be difficult for anyone under 18 doing stunts, so he has to keep it to mostly pedal bike content to avoid strikes. Instagram is his favorite platform, where he can freely showcase all his Riding skills with no issues. He has over 760K followers and a growing Facebook presence of over 265k followers.

THE DYNAMIC DUO ARE AT IT AGAIN!
Chuck and Karolina Morrongiello of 3 Rats Entertainment recently completed their sixth film, “Killer Grannies,” in the Tampa Bay Area. Chuck was inspired to write the script based on true stories of elderly women exploiting homeless men for financial gain. In the film, Chuck
wanted to capture the evil, sinister nature of ‘killer grannies’ and their capabilities. With Karolina’s creative vision, the couple brought this chilling narrative to life.
The production was challenging, but with the community’s support,
they succeeded in creating what is expected to be a hit film. “Killer Grannies” was shot over ten days at 18 locations and featured hundreds of actors, with at least 25 costume changes for each “Killer Granny.”
The couple worked closely with small business owners in Tampa, Trinity, and Land O’ Lakes to create an authentic setting for the movie. They also filmed a significant scene in downtown Tampa, where hundreds of realistic actors lined over half of historic Central Avenue dressed as homeless men. Chuck and Karolina entered the film industry 8 years ago and have since gained recognition and popularity. Their horror and suspense
What’s up guys my name is Marcus better known as URH Mark. I am 18 years old and born and raised in North Philly. I am a senior in high school at Philadelphia Military Academy preparing to go into the Navy.
My love and life as a rider started early on in life. Riding came naturally to me. I started when I was 2 riding on my Uncle Jeff’s banshee with my dad Fernando. Since then, I can’t get enough. I now have a YZ450 which is my dream bike. My mentor is Jay Ridehard and I’ve always looked up to riders like RodTwin and 450 Jhan who is the leader of a group of young riders on the rise here in Philly called Unrecognized Hittas (URH). I’ve learned how many different tricks like superman one handed and I’m practicing and perfecting a knee knock, switch drop down and down criss cross.
I live my life by faith as Christianity is important to me. And that would be my message to other riders. Live your life and do what you love. Regardless of how the world views us as riders don’t give up, keep pushing.
And a message to the rest of the world please understand to us riding is a sport and a passion that everyone could grow to love and enjoy not a crime. I would like to give a special thank you to Los Aliadios Bikelife DJ Tune for believing in me and creating a bikelife family that I am grateful to be a part of. Follow me on insta @urh_mark and stay tuned for URH merch coming soon.

First and foremost, I want to convey that we bikers love you even though you may not feel the same about us. We have no intention of causing harm and don’t want to hurt anyone.
My name is Wes, and I’m 20 years old. I was born and raised in Philly. When I was four years old, my dad taught me to ride on a pocket rocket; ever since then, it’s been my passion. Over time, I moved to a Honda Grom and a bike with the license plate number KX100. Currently, I ride a stock bike with the license plate number LTZ400. I can ride anything on two or four wheels, but my dream bike is a Banshee. I started stunting on a 150.
I’ve fallen and healed, but it only made me better. Falling is part of Bikelife because it’s how you learn. After learning how to wheelie, I mastered a one-handed wheelie and knee-knocking. Now, I’m perfecting the skill of standing on my handlebars while riding. I spend time riding with 450 Jhan and a group of 20-year-old riders. 450 Jhan is someone whom I admire, as well as Rod Twin and 17KingDom.
On August 24, 2024, I secured the 3rd position in the LTZ400 category in New York at Los Aliados BLA BikeLife Association’s tournament. I aspire to continue riding as a BLA pro and would love to help change how riders are viewed. I believe that riders’ talents deserve to be showcased, and I feel that Bikelife is a sport that should be recognized. When I’m not
riding, I work as a professional barber, and I hope to attract the attention of companies like @illuzien and further my career. If you ever need a fresh cut in Philly, feel free to contact me.
I’m also in the process of starting a podcast called “Crispy Cutz Shit Talk,” which will be available soon on your preferred podcast platforms. To my new fellow young riders, I would advise you always to be humble as it will take you far. Learn at your own pace, and remember that improvement doesn’t happen overnight. Keep practicing, and always wear your helmet.

Hi, my name is Bryan Torossi, and I am 13 years old. I am from Brazil but currently live in Orlando, Florida. I started riding 11 years ago. I got into stunt riding because of my dad, Andre Torossi, a stunt rider in Brazil. He taught me on a CRF50.
Learning to ride, I have fallen many times and even broke my collarbone while drifting. Even still, I haven’t given up because riding is my passion. I like riding with my dad because he makes it all about having fun and doesn’t get mad when I can’t nail a trick, allowing me to ride free and enjoy it.
My goal is to become the best rider I can be. I am always practicing and trying to learn new tricks. We, as riders, should have a legal lot to ride freely without any worries or problems. I want to own a 636 one day, but now I have Ninja 400. It has Brembo handbrakes, a setup crash cage, sub cage seats, plus more.
I would like to thank my sponsors @cardo, @csracingusa and @ vosshelmets.
You can keep up with my progress and see what I am up to next on Insta @bryan.torossi.stunt and FB @ Bryan Torossi Stunt
