- We meet in an hour of challenge
and new dangers, as well as high reward.
And they may well ask,
why climb the highest mountain?
Why fly the Atlantic?
Not because they are easy, but because they are hard.
[echoing] Because they are hard.
[Motorhead's "Ace of Spades"]
[intense rock music]
- Are you ready to get extreme?
- * If you like to gamble
* I tell you I'm your man
* You win some, lose some
* It's all the same to me
*
* The pleasure is to play
* Makes no difference what you say *
*
* I don't share your greed
* The only card I need is the ace of spades *
* The ace of spades
*
- I love a woman who loves to prove a man wrong.
- You had me on the edge of my seat the entire time.
- Is it rude to say you have big balls?
- * Read 'em and weep
* The dead man's hand again
- Do not try this at home.
[yelling]
The best thing I've ever seen in my life!
- * I see it in your eyes
* Take one look and die
- [bleep] me.
- * You know I'm born to lose *
* And gambling's for fools
- [laughs]
- * But that's the way I like it, baby *
- Go!
- * I don't wanna live forever *
- I love the way you're acting like this is normal.
It's not.
- Oh!
*
- Oh, my God.
Electrifying. - Yo!
- This is phenomenal.
- One of the most incredible things
I've ever seen in my life.
- Yeah! He did it!

[Zayde Wolf's "Born Ready"]
[dramatic rock music]
- All right. There you go.
This is "AGT." We bring the A game, right?
- Yeah.
- My name is Alfredo Silva,
and I'm the team leader of Cage Riders.
- * I don't believe in no devil *
- I've been on "America's Got Talent" before,
doing my knife throwing act, Deadly Games.
But the Cage of Death was my first love with danger.
- * Start me up, open my eyes *
The Cage of Death is a cage made of metal
with motorbikes constantly spinning
on the same direction.
The G-force push you against the cage
so the bike don't fall off.
But it's one of the most dangerous acts in the world.
It's been proven to be lethal.
Some people unfortunately lost their lives.
My best friends rides with me inside the cage.
We've been riding for many years together.
That's the only way I will trust somebody
- We basically had to slow down time
inside our head to make everything happen,
'cause every motion has to be perfect.
- If they wreck, we will call EMS in.
- We do everything to be safe.
But there is always a big risk
when you step into the Cage of Death.
I am a third generation of cage riders.
I remember watching my father and grandfather
performing together.
They were my heroes.
And I just couldn't wait until it was my turn to join.
- * I was born, born ready
- Not only they were fearless on the stage,
but they never want to give up in life as well,
and that's the big lesson I took from them.
Winning "America's Got Talent Extreme"
would mean everything to me.
[engine revs] - * I'm gonna push up higher
- So I knew I need to put together the best team.
- * I'm gonna do what I do
- And this is the result right here.
Colby, Marco, John Stotts, and Gary Laurent.
We are all from different parts of the world.
The only thing we have in common is,
we love the danger and we are very competitive.
[screams]
So I'm here to claim my title
of "America's Got Talent Extreme" Champion.
- * I was born, born ready
- That's destiny.
- You are here on "AGT Extreme," Alfredo.
Talk to me, man.
- For "AGT Extreme," the name speaks for itself.
It has to be extreme.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.
- I will. I will. - Let's do it.
- Okay, here we go, folks. Here we go.
[engines revving[
- There is something about the sound of a dirt bike.
*
- Tell me about this, what you're about to do.
- So what I did for you guys today is very simple.
I mix two of the most dangerous motorcycle stunts in one act.
- Of course.
- We're gonna have the Cage Riders
and we're gonna have another two FMX rider
jumping over the globe at the same time.
- This show is giving me a lot of anxiety,
I've got to be honest with you. - Yeah.
- You gotta like the adrenaline for this act, for sure.
- Okay, so what does this mean to you?
- I grew up watching my father and grandfather perform
these stunts for so many years, and they were my heroes.
So it's more like my heart and my mind is into this
because of my grandfather that passed few years ago.
And I'm sure he watching me right now.
I want to make him proud.
And that would be the ultimate prize for me.
- Bless you. Bless you.
[cheers and applause]
Are you sure you want to do this?
- 100%, we want to do this.
I really trust my life on their hands, 100%.
- All right. Good luck.
- Let's go. - Good luck.
[cheers and applause]
[intense music]
[siren chirps]
*
- You see what they're doing right now, though.
He can't even crawl up the landing, it's so slippery.
- 'Cause of the humidity. - No, no, no.
- The humidity is-- - I can feel it.
- It changes everything.
So if they do any tricks where the bikes are sideways,
if they land, it just washes right out from under them.
I mean, so they got the towels up there,
but it gets wet so quick, you know?
- Yeah.
- He's, like, "Dude, it's slippery."
- No, no, no, we gonna go. [inaudible] We gotta go.
- Like, yeah, I know, but it's time to go.
- But it's time to go, right? Yeah.
[engine revving]

He's going to stand in the cage!
No! No!

Look at him go! [cheers and applause]
Here we go!

Unbelievable.
- Here comes another bike. Another bike.
[cheers and applause]
- * Some legends are told
* Some turn to dust or to gold *
- Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, here they go.
Now, there are three in the cage.
Three motorcycles.
- * Just one mistake
- One guy falls, they all fall. - Oh!
- * We'll go down in history
* Remember me for centuries
- [laughing] Oh!
Oh, my God!
Oh! Oh!
Oh! Oh! Oh!

[cheers and applause]
- Yeah. - Come on!
- All right, guys! Yeah!
Uh! Uh! Uh! Uh! Uh!
- That was unbelievable. - That was awesome.
- Man, you did it, Alfredo. All of you guys.
We are going to the main stage to hear from the judges.
That was incredible!
- That was so much fun, man. I can't tell you.
- Whoo! - Give it up!
- Unbelievable. - Dude!
- * Remember me for centuries *
* Hey-ya
* Hey
* We'll go down in history
* Remember me for centuries
Yeah, it was all right.
- [laughs] Yeah. Just all right.
- Oh, my gosh, my gosh, my gosh.
I nearly had five heart attacks
during that performance.
That was one of the most incredible things
I've ever seen in my life.
- Yes. - I mean, seriously.
I mean, everything about it.
You know, the danger level
just got higher and higher and higher.
I actually think that was pretty much perfection.
- Wow. Thank you so much. It's an honor.
- Travis.
- It started off fast.
It was, like, absolutely pinned.
The entertainment factor was awesome.
And then a kiss of death
Indy backflip, huge,
pulling at the last second.
- Yes! Yes!
- It was absolutely awesome.
I did not think I'd be impressed
by a motorcycle stunt show, but you guys did it.
- Wow. Just wow.
Thank you so much for that feedback.
- I was on the edge of my seat. I was so entertained.
I wanted more, and when I think of the show
"America's Got Talent Extreme," it's you guys.
- Yes! - It was amazing.
Simon said it right. It was absolute perfection.
- Wow.
- Okay, I have a big problem.
Because we know each other, I can't vote on this.
- Really? Wow.
- Aww. - I'm really sorry.
- And they still need two votes.
- Yeah. I know.
I just wish I could, but I can't.
Anyway... - Okay, wait, wait, wait.
We're not gonna need to vote.
There will be no need to vote right now.
You know what?
- Oh!
[cheers and applause]
- I want to tell you this right now, man.
You know, Simon Cowell came to me
and said he was putting together this show.
But we need the best,
the most extreme acts in the world.
And let me tell you something, Alfredo,
every time I see you,
it is the definition of what this show is.
I'm giving you the Golden Buzzer, my man!
[cheers and applause] - [screams]
* Start me up, open my eyes
* Turn me loose and you'll see why *
* I was born, born ready
* Staring at the pressure now *
- This is what we meant.
- * I won't quit, not backing down *
* I was born, born ready
- Whoo!
- You are amazing! Yes!
- * Keep pushing up higher, higher *
- Alfredo and the Cage Riders are going right to the finale.
[cheers and applause]
Come here, man. I love you. I love you.
- Thank you so much.
- * Born ready
* I was born
- That was cool, right?
- Hey, Daddy, I did it. Golden Buzzer.
[laughs]
- Congratulations! - Yes!
I love you, Daddy.
- Coming up, a parkour performer attempts
.
- Okay, let's finish that.
- Next act ready. Standing by.
- My name is Aaron Evans. I am 33 years old.
[dramatic music]
I can jump over any and everything.
Just put it in my way, and I'm gonna get over it.
- What are you gonna do here on "AGT Extreme"?
- So I'm known for doing parkour
and extreme stunts.
- Oh!
- I love what I do.
It's a feeling like no other.
My adrenaline just really going
and, like, I almost feel like I can take on the world.
I was born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
My mom was a single mother, doing the best that she could,
and it was tough at times,
but, you know, we stuck through it.
And parkour helped for me
to stay away from all of the trouble growing up.
I just want to make sure
that I help my mom out the best that I can.
I guess you can say that I'm a mama's boy.
She wouldn't want to watch this.
Trust me. It's gut-wrenching.
Today, I'm going to be performing
the most epic jump of my life.
- Do you have something that you feel could win
this whole show and get you $500,000?
- I believe I got that and then some.
This competition means everything to me.
There is no way that I'm going to fail.
Oh, I'm very competitive. You know I want to win.
I'm jumping for my life. I'm revved up and ready to go.
*
- Okay, let's move to the performance site.
- What's up, guys? How you doing?
[cheers and applause]
- Hi, everyone. [cheers and applause]
[buzzer blares]
- Oh, hey, whoa. Whoa.
[buzzer blares]
- Does it go any louder than that?
- Oh, let's just see if this one works.
Button doesn't even work. Button doesn't even work.
[buzzer blares]
- There we go.
[cheers and applause]
- They like you already.
What's your name?
- My name is Aaron Evans.
- And where are you from, Aaron?
- I am from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
- Are you a Cheesehead? That's the real question.
- No. - [gasps] What?
- Not a Cheesehead. - Oh.
- I have my own sport. - What sport was that?
- Parkour. Free-running. - Awesome.
- Right. So tell me a bit about you.
- I am actually a fiber technician
for a company doing all network.
- Like, IT. - IT, yeah.
- Okay, and do people at work,
your friends, know you've entered this show?
- Some of them do. My boss, mainly.
He's the main person that has to know
that I'm here right now,
because obviously he had to clear it.
- What did he say? - He said, "Go for it, man.
I know you got this. Go get it."
[cheers and applause]
- Is what you're doing today what you dream of doing?
- What I'm doing today is just something that I love to do.
But if I'm able to win this here,
I want to open up a gym for people that want to learn
how to do parkour and kind of give back to the community.
- Good for you. - And then on top of that,
my big dream is to buy my mom a restaurant,
'cause right now I'm taking care of her.
- Is your mom here? - My mom is not here.
No, she'll be watching from afar.
- Okay. That might be a good thing.
- Yes. [laughter]
Let's just say the stunt will be pretty extreme.
Like, it will have the world
on their--the edge of their seats, for sure.
- That's what I like to hear. - We like the sound of that.
- We like--yeah. - I like that a lot.
- Okay, good luck. - Thank you.
- Whoo!
- I have no idea what's gonna happen.
- Yeah. - All I know is,
he looks unbelievably nervous.
- Yeah.
[intense music]
[engines revving]
- Well, this looks interesting.
- I don't know exactly what's going on.
I see cones, expensive cars, and that's pretty sweet.
- When I'm ready to signal the cars down,
I'll give this signal here.
- They're gonna stay at 30,
but they will not slow down at all,
because we don't want to mess up the act.
- No, that's perfect.
- So they're sticking at 30 the whole time.
- Oh, my gosh. Cars that are speeding at him?
I think he's trying to jump over them.
- Are you serious? - Oh, gosh.
- Is he nuts?
- Now, if anything should happen,
I'll bring the medic and ambulance in there
to treat you in that situation.
- Okay, here we go, folks. Here we go.
Stand by, everyone. Stand by.
- Oh, gosh.
Good luck.
[cheers and applause]
*
- Here we go.
I'm nervous.
