High-flying, death-defying stunts and feats of derring-do are being readied for the Buffalo Chip Campground’s daredevil day.

World-record attempts on tap at Chip’s daredevil day Jackson Bolstad Journal staff STURGIS | Death-defying stunts, races and worldrecord attempts that would make even the most hardcore of bikers cringe will headline the Buffalo Chip Campground’s daredevil day Wednesday.

The day will feature a world-record attempt at the longest motorcycle ride through a tunnel of fire, world speed records, a pro hill climb and many more stunts and acrobatics, said Rod Woodruff, president of the Buffalo Chip.

“It started off with daredevils calling me and saying they wanted to stunts at the Chip and set world records,” Woodruff said. “We decided to make it a day of activities.”

Woodruff said Guinness World Records would

monitor the attempt at the longest motorcycle ride through a tunnel of fire record and also the unimotorcycle drag-racing speed record.

“Guinness wrote the book on world records, quite literally,” Woodruff said. “You just call them up and say, ‘Hey, we want to set another record.’”

Stuntman Clint Ewing will attempt to break the record for the longest tunnel-of-fire ride at the CrossRoads bar Wednesday, Woodruff said. Two South Africans hold the current record, set in 2008, at 338 feet and 2.65 inches, according to the Guinness World Records.

Ewing previously held the record, set in 2003, after he traveled 200 feet through a tunnel of fire in front of 7.1 million NBC viewers, Woodruff said.

To accommodate the record attempt, he said, the Buffalo Chip had to build a large tunnel that would ignite at the same time. “It sounds easy,” Woodruff said. “You just build a tunnel and light a match and light it on fire.”

The Buffalo Chip had to build a steel tunnel, wedge cardboard between chicken wire around the frame and soak it all in gasoline and propellant, Woodruff said. He said there would be 40 torchbearers to simultaneously light the tunnel.

Guinness World Record officials will also be on hand Wednesday to monitor unimotorcycle drag-race speed record attempts, Woodruff said.

The one-wheeled, nobrakes-no-steering unimotorcycle is “ ... the craziest thing I’ve ever heard

of; you grab onto it, hit the throttle and hold on,” Woodruff said.

The sport has spread to 17 nations that compete in Unimotorcycle Drag Racing, according to Guinness World Records. The current recordholder is Russian Roman Koltakov, with a time of 2.38 seconds for 100 feet, according to Guinness World Records.

Patch McGillicutty will race around the wall of a large wooden barrel to attempt to break the wallof-death speed record, Woodruff said.

The wall of death is a stunt show that dates back to the early 1900s. Riders race along the vertical walls without helmets or pads. Momentum from the motorcycles carries the riders along the wall, spiraling them in a circle of centrifugal force.

“I don’t know what the G-forces are; he doesn’t either,” Woodruff said.

“When he starts to black out, he can feel himself, and he’ll quit.

Mc G i l l i c u t ty h o p e s to reach speeds of up to 91 mph while traveling around the 24-foot diameter barrel, Woodruff said.

The Buffalo Chip will also host freestyle motocross rider Tim Dyson, who will attempt a double back flip with a passenger on his bike. As well, fans can watch the Nitro national pro hill climb to the southeast of the Buffalo Chip, across Alkali Road.

Also featured during the day will be a roller-skater record attempt at jumping over the most people.

Woodruff said attendees should be sure to watch Juli Moody, also known as The

Thousands will flock to Wyoming for BBQ ’n burnouts John Lee McLaughlin Journal staff

Free BBQ, burnouts, live music and relaxed drinking laws.

Those highlights, which are being offered today, have drawn bikers from the Sturgis motorcycle rally on a pilgrimage west to northeastern Wyoming for more than two decades.

The two essential stops: Ham N Jam today in Hulett followed by a burnout bash in Sundance.

Both small Wyoming towns, which allow drinking in their streets yearround, open up for citywide parties during the rally.

Capt’n Ron’s Rodeo Bar in Hulett has thrown Ham N Jam festivals for the past 25 years.

The event is a cocktail of live music and free food — the bar gives away about 1,000 pounds of pork, 300 pounds of beans and 200 pounds of chips.

This year’s musical highlight will be provided

by Indiana’s Soul Biscuit, which has played the venue for the past three years, said Allison Karlson, who helps coordinate the event.

Although Ham N Jam doesn’t start until today, she said Hulett has seen an influx of rallygoers since the beginning of the week.

“It’s really picked up in the last few days, so I expect it will be really busy.

It always is,” Karlson said by telephone Monday. “It’s free BBQ and there’s live music, and of course there’s

Motorcycles meander through Hulett during the Ham’N’Jam.

always the ice-cold beer.”

Vendors also line the streets of Hulett for the event and this year, the Budweiser girls will be serving rounds and giving

away Budweiser swag, she added.

Sundance also lets loose, opening its streets to an upwards of 8,000 bikers.

She said on Monday Sundance was also inundated with bikers for an event that has only grown in the past 25 years.

“It seems to get bigger and better each year as far as turnout goes,” Doll said.

“This is the big event for the year.”

Nina McIntire’s from St. Petersburg, Russia, and began a professional music career after getting her master’s degree from the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow. She met husband Gary while she was in Texas studying American pop music.

Honky-tonk Bach at a church biker breakfast Nina McIntire plays formal concerts — and for fun this week as she and husband Gary are in his home country of the Black Hills.

Milo Dailey Journal staff BELLE FOURCHE | The annual motorcycle rally brings more concerts to the Black Hills region than anyone could catch in a month, but there’s one performance that stands out from the pack: It’s Biker Breakfast time at the Belle Fourche United Methodist Church from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. continuing today through Saturday, Aug. 10, featuring a classically trained Russian pianist pounding out honkytonk Bach and a classical repertoire, mixed with The Beatles and B.B. King.

Nina McIntire, who is vacationing from her concert schedule in Europe, is a Russian-trained classical musician who fell in love with all sorts of American pop music and a South Dakotan, Gary, who’s a Belle Fourche High School graduate.

She maintains a professional violin and piano career from the couple’s home in Germany. And in Belle Fourche, McIntire plays Jerry Lee Lewis and Ludwig von Beethoven with an equal amounts of fire and precision.

concerts? She has been a rider, too, and the musicales just happened. The church is where her husband’s late mother was a member, and it offered her a headquarters while the couple search for an American agent to book her for North American concerts.

She and her husband plan to return to the United States to perform what she hopes will be concerts of her Ivory Fantasy music, which combines Americantype rock and pop styles with classical technique.

“I have more of my own

compositions and more styles,” she said at her first of the Belle Fourche informal breakfast concerts. “I am having fun.”

The idea, she said, is to offer a variety of music that can be enjoyed by everyone from rockers to classical music fans. She works out the tunes like a rock, jazz or country musician, because “stylistic variety is very important to me.”

McIntire first gained acclaim as a violinist, but said she’s put that facet of her career on hold in favor of putting her entire energy into piano.

“That way I can give my best,” she said.

By the way, she said Russian and American audiences today have more similarities than differences.

“Musicians don’t have borders,” she said.
