CP on DVD – Stunting for Life
When it comes to freestyle riding, Chris Pfeiffer is in a league of his own. Riding a BMW F 800, the 38-year-old from Halblech in Germany has won the last three consecutive European Stunt Riding Championships, the last two Indoor Streetbike Freestyle World Championships, and the world-famous Stuntwars competition in the USA.

Furthermore, he has toured all over the world with his Red Bull shows, performing to thousands of young fans of 'extreme' sports, who have witnessed his awe-inspiring, jaw-dropping stunt displays at exotic locations throughout Europe, America, Africa, Asia and Australia. A constant travelling companion for Chris during the past four years has been Bernd Hupfauf, an Austrian TV and video producer who has been documenting Chris's every move for a new DVD – Stunting for Life – which gives an unique insight into the adrenalin-charged world of Chris Pfeiffer.
For Bernd, co-producing this DVD with Chris has been a real labor of love, but he believes that the finished product perfectly captures the essence of Pfeiffer, his determination to push the boundaries of freestyle riding and his natural joie de vivre, which has won him many fans the world over, as well as the admiration and respect of his peers in the stunt riding community.

"It's been a long journey for us to make this DVD but we're really pleased with the results," says Bernd, who is also Chris's agent. "I believe that he is in a league of his own in terms of his ability on a motorcycle, as well as his innovation and showmanship, so we wanted to make sure that the Stunting for Life DVD reflected this. We've sifted through more than 100 hours of raw footage shot over the past three-and-a-half years and have picked only the best bits for the DVD, which took us more than six months to edit."
Indeed, the DVD features over 80 minutes of action from Chris's travels, shows, sessions and competition appearances. For those who have only seen still photographs of Chris in action, the DVD brings to life all the tension, sounds, bravery, strength and skill involved in perfecting a new trick, or performing a gravity-defying 'combo' of stunts designed to thrill and entertain in equal measures. One of the many high points of the DVD is watching the different cultural reactions of people all over the world to his shows, from the polite applause received in Japan to the near hysteria he experienced from the crowds who watched him perform in Nigeria.

For Chris, to finally see the finished product after several years in the making, is a dream come true: "I'm delighted with the end result, as I know how much hard work has gone into making this happen," he said. "It's strange to see the last three-and-a-half years of your life skilfully edited into 80 minutes worth of footage, but it's been a fantastic time and I think that clearly comes across in the DVD. I hope BMW riders and freestyle fans enjoy the ride as much as I have!"
