TWO stunt legends have been confirmed for this year’s Bournemouth Wheels Festival.

The Kangaroo Kid and Paul Swift have been announced for the line-up at the second event, which takes place between Friday, May 29, and Sunday, May 31.

Known to most as the Kangaroo Kid, Matt Coulter will be rousing crowds with an exciting show in the Desert Driving Arena, as well as a special stunt in the Heart Monster Truck Arena.

He said: “I’ll be attempting to jump over the monster trucks.

“I have to make sure the quad bikes are all running to their highest spec and there is enough room to land. Each jump is different because of the location and conditions, so no two are ever the same.”

Matt is no stranger to performing for big audiences, having previously appeared on a number of TV programmes, including Don’t try this at Home, You Bet and Guinness World Records.

His stunts have also featured in films such as Tomb Raider and Tomorrow Never Dies.

Also performing for the first time at Wheels is one of the UK’s top stunt drivers, Paul Swift.

Paul will be attempting to drive the length of East Overcliff Drive on two wheels and will also be found performing stunts daily with the Ford Display Team in a pop-up arena on the Demonstration Straight.

Paul’s passion for stunts began at the young age of seven, when he learnt to drive the family ride-on lawnmower on two wheels back in 1986.

He set the Guinness World Record for performing the stunt over a distance of 230 metres.

Following in the footsteps of his father, legendary stunt driver Russ Swift, Paul soon became part of his dad’s display team, performing stunts in a half-scale miniature car.

These days Paul leads a team of the world’s best precision drivers performing blockbusting driving sequences for motor shows and TV programmes around the world.
