Get Extroooime!

The internet's most reckless stunt crew turned the East Coast into a playground — fire, surf, snow, fireworks and full-send chaos. Two seasons, 60+ videos, a stack of national TV appearances, and one motto. It's all here.

The Legend

A crew of maniacs
with a video camera.

It started with a cliff, a wetsuit soaked in the wrong stuff, and a very bad idea that worked. JoyRidersTV became a homegrown stunt show — inspired by Nitro Circus, powered by friends — that lit things on fire, surfed the campus fountain, and jumped off anything tall enough to hurt.

That was then. These days the crew is deep into their late 30s — day jobs, families, knees that file complaints. But the footage never got old, and neither did the stoke. This is the archive: every episode, every jam, every appearance we made on national TV, finally in one place that looks as loud as we felt.

"Older knees. Same stoke."

The Big Stage

America's Got Talent

It started with a phone call. AGT's producers had seen Daniel jump off a cliff on fire, and they wanted more. We had two months to dream up a stunt and film an audition tape — so we built a human fire Rube Goldberg machine and poured everything we had into it, finishing the edit hours before the deadline.

The first year, they said it was too complex and dangerous for an indoor stage. So the next year, when AGT opened an extreme-stunt division, we came back — and this time we made it onto the stage. We met the Godfrey family there too (Greg Godfrey went on to found Nitro Circus, the very show that inspired JoyRidersTV). We hit our stunt clean and the crowd went wild — and then all four judges gave us a unanimous no. Call it what you want. We walked away exactly as advertised: too extroooime for TV.

Where are they now?

Late 30s, still misbehaving. We're filming sit-down interviews with the founders — "what's the most extreme thing you did recently?" — to bolt onto this page. Stay tuned.

What's Next

The JoyRiders Playground

Here's the big idea: an app where you rack up points for getting outside and getting extroooime — bonus points for dragging your friends along. Post your sends, climb the ranks, turn play back into a sport. This site is step one. Want in when it drops?

The world is your playground.
