Since
the inception of the automobile, gasoline gladiators
have risked life & limb.... jumping & crashing
cars. |

Having
"Car Wrecks" is a way of life
for Brian
Carson...
|
|
| Brian
Carson got his stunting start as a teenager in the 70's
with a traveling auto daredevil troupe, that
criss-crossed the heartlands of America. During his
eight year tenure, he mastered all of the thrill shows
acts, but found his niche in automotive carnage..
totaling-out hundreds upon hundreds of old stock cars in
metal crunching crashes. |
|
| From
this old school of stunt driving, Brian envisioned a
more spectacular brand of auto stunts, and ventured out
on his own as a "one man wrecking crew".
Carson barnstormed the United States and Canada
performing (his now
trademark) "explosive ramp to ruin" stunts for
crowds coast to coast.
From
California to Nova Scotia, Carson trekked on his
"crash and burn" pilgrimages. In a consecutive
twelve plus year span of tours his stunts were
highlighted at the top speedway, drag strip and the most
prestigious outdoor and domed stadium venues across
North America. His "wrecking ways" commanded
multi-media attention, and Brian became recognized as one
of the nations' foremost auto stunt performers. |
 |
|
After having performed in front of millions and
through tragedies
and triumphs, ("from broken bones to breaking world records") - Carson retired from the violent rigors of his
annual performance tours after 1996, but he has yet to officially "hang up his helmet".
 |
The
veteran stunt drivers expertise has utilized the
gamut over the years in front of the cameras,
with his industry credits ranging from
"behind the wheel" stunt work on
police training films to an array of Hollywood
feature films and blockbuster movies.
Brian's
"over the edge" exploits have been
witnessed by television audiences
world
wide, having been featured on an array of
national & international telecasts, and
primetime network TV specials.
Then
in April 2001. Brian Carson tragically ended his
active stunt driving career, as well as his way
of living and nearly his life.
|
|
He
was called upon to crash a drag racing "funny
car" for a network sitcom TV show, where the
(chrome-moly) roll cage fabricated for him
disastrously broke on impact and he suffered
massive injuries. Brian spent several days
in a coma, teetering in intensive care and was in a
hospital for over a month, and spent more than a
year in rehabilitation (from a traumatic head
injury).
Brian
Carson, after over two and a half decades of
stunt driving, leaves one awesome legacy,
including having jumped more autos further than
anybody ever has and crashed more cars than
anyone in history.
S o,
stay tuned: the "King of Crash" is back! ... and
looking for his next project.
