- "AGT: Extreme," it's my "AGT," but supersized.
Everything is turned up times a million.
[cheers]
- "AGT: Extreme" is about accomplishing things
that nobody thinks is possible.
Blood, sweat, and tears brought us to this moment.
[Evanescence's "Bring Me to Life" playing]
- I started practicing my talent
when I was four years old.
My childhood dream has come true today.
- We have one chance to prove what it takes.
* *
- * Wake me up * - * Wake me up inside *
- Whoo-hoo-hoo!
- * Can't wake up *
- * Wake me up inside *
- * Save me *
- * Call my name and save me *
* From the nothing I've become *
* *
- Absolute perfection. [cheers]
- The danger level just got higher and higher, and higher.
- This is insane.
Oh, my gosh.
* *
- One of the most emotional roller coasters
I have ever experienced.
- That's the best thing I've ever seen in my life!
* *
[wild cheering]
[dramatic music]
- Okay. Stand by, everybody.
In five, four,
three, two, one.
- * Let's go, welcome to the show *
- Please welcome you host of "America got Talent: Extreme,"
Terry Crews.
- * Let's go *
* *
- Ah!
America, are you ready to get extreme?
[wild cheering]
Make some noise
for the ultimate daredevil,
Travis Pastrana.
[wild cheering]
- * Let's go *
- WWE superstar...
Nikki Bella.
[wild cheering]
And the most successful talent guru on the planet,
Simon Cowell.
[wild cheering]
- * All eyes on me, let's go *
- Can we just take a moment
to acknowledge the epicness of this show?
This competition is all about pushing themselves
further and harder
and facing bigger danger than ever before.
[wild cheering]
Tonight, they need at least two yeses from the judges
to make it to the superfan vote,
which is made up of superfans from all across America,
or there's always a Golden Buzzer
which sends an act straight to the finale.
[wild cheering]
Now, Travis, you've seen a lot of extreme things, man,
but what is the scariest thing you've ever done?
- I was on top of a 64-story building in Panama,
sitting on a tricycle.
And as I was about to drop in, I thought,
man, these plastic wheels, they're probably gonna break.
I'm gonna fall to my death right now.
[laughter and cheers]
- Nikki, what is the biggest fear you've ever had to face?
- Well, besides having a baby,
I would say getting in the ring with Ronda Rousey.
- How did that go?
- I mean, I lost, but I should've won.
- Rematch. Rematch. - Let's do it.
- And Simon Cowell. [wild cheering]
Now, Simon, what is the biggest fear you've ever had to face?
- I would say, this.
Based on all the acts we've seen so far,
I would say, this show.
By the way, Terry, the outfit you're wearing is extreme.
I mean, seriously.
[wild cheering]
[buzzer] - Oh!
- Yes! - Oh, you got it.
- We don't want any buzzers.
We want all golden buzzers at the moment.
Are y'all ready to do this?
[wild cheering]
Well, then let's do it.
[wild cheering]
- I actually love you too.
[wild cheering]
all: [chanting] Travis. Travis. Travis.
[buzzer]
[laughter]
- Oh. - Travis.
Travis is being very naughty.
[laughter]
- * All eyes on me, let's go *
- My name is Todd Meyn.
- I'm Josh Roberts. - I'm Dusty Wygle.
- I'm Ryan Williams. - I'm Kurtis Downs.
- And we are... all: The Contraption Kings.
- We're a bunch of BMX athletes,
and we all came together through competitions
and touring on Nitro Circus.
- We love to push the limits,
and we are all about finding bigger, crazier,
and more absurd ways to get up in the air.
- You guys decided to be the Avengers of what you do.
Who's Iron Man? - Probably him.
- * It just takes some time *
- Ryan is one of the greatest of all-time
action sports athletes.
- He's superhuman, to be honest.
- You make me blush, guys.
- Dusty is the Contraption King of The Contraction Kings.
- I did not name myself that.
- Dusty is the leader.
He opened our eyes to see what's possible
doing these dangerous things,
and all of us kinda followed suit.
- Todd was this phenomenal, young BMX rider,
but we've slowly but surely dragged him
into our shenanigans.
- I was only meant to do one show,
and here I am ten years later,
and I couldn't have asked for a better life.
Josh is the jack-of-all-trades.
- I'd say I'm, like, average most things,
but not very talented at one specific thing.
- How many times have you knocked yourself out?
[distressed screams]
- [laughs]
- * It just takes some time *
- Kurtis is the littlest guy
out of The Contraption Kings,
but he's just probably the toughest guy as well.
- If you tell Kurtis to try something,
he's pretty much gonna go for it.
- Kurtis is a beast. - Is that your headprint?
- I definitely smashed that with my head.
- Oh, dude.
- We all love giving it our all,
and we're super competitive.
- But unfortunately, we're not really good at self-regulating.
- Let's just put it this way:
you crash way more than you land.
[distressed screams]
- Have you guys seen your share of really bad injuries?
- I've snapped my sternum in half.
Snapped my tib fib, ankles, shoulders.
- Fractured my skull twice, smashed my teeth out,
separated both my shoulders, broke my ankle.
I feel like when not just professional athletes,
but also professional crashers.
[distressed screams]
- It's a half a million dollars up for grabs.
- That's a life-changing amount of money,
especially for Josh and I.
We have new, young families.
This is a chance
to completely change our kids' lives.
And, yeah, it could be a big deal for all of us,
so I think that's a massive motivating factor
to bring it and to win it.
To do that, we're gonna have to really step it up.
We're gonna be hurdling down this 50-foot tall, roll-in
over this 45-foot gap.
- Ooh, this looks fun.
[wild cheering]
- I love you guys.
[wild cheering]
- We're just praying that it all works out right
and we blow the judges' minds,
and they send us through to the final.
[wild cheering]
'Cause, if not, they're sending us to the hospital.
[laughter]
[wild cheering]
- Yes. - Whoo!
- Welcome! All right.
Let's start with, first of all, who are you.
- We are the Nitro Circus Contraption Kings.
- Ah. - Oh.
- I know that name. - So I--
All right, look, I have to say, Simon,
I'm not allowed to vote on this because,
the guy speaking right there, his name is Dusty.
He is the godfather of my firstborn child.
And all of these guys are now performing and employed
by a company called Nitro Circus, which I started.
However, I will be judging you,
and if they don't like it, you're all fired.
[laughter]
- So no pressure.
- This is extreme. It's extreme.
- Okay, so on a scale of one to ten, how dangerous is this?
- It's a ten. - Wow.
Okay. No hesitation.
- We brought our biggest, baddest, scariest ramp
that we've ever ridden in our lives.
And with what we have planned, it's a bit untested,
so we might be cranking it to 11, actually.
- Okay, so there is, you know, a prize: $500,000.
What would that do?
- Probably get a bigger ramp
and go even bigger, you know? - Yeah.
- Come back for the next one and win again.
Let's go.
- I like it. [wild cheering]
- I cannot wait to see this. - I can't wait either.
- Best of luck. - Thank you so much.
- Yeah! - Yeah, good luck, guys.
- Let's get this show on the road.
- Contraption Kings in the house!
- Yeah! - Come on!
[epic music]
* *
- You wouldn't believe it, but the best action sports athlete
in the world:
that Australian in the black shirt, R-Willy.
- Seriously? - Wow.
- Okay, well, we've always dreamed of flying.
- Oh, my God.
- So, Josh Roberts, the man of Salt Lake City,
has brought his flying jet ski for you fine folks today.
- What?
- Cue the music, please.
- There's a jet ski up there.
- If this points in any direction
other than perfectly straight,
well, let's just say
Josh might be in a little more than one piece.
- There is a jet ski on land.
What in the world? - Wow.
- How are feeling out there, Josh?
- Seriously? This really is excellent.
- Three.
Two.
One.
Hit it.
both: * It's tricky *
* Tricky, Tricky, Tricky, Tricky *
[wild cheering]
- Okay, well,
we've always dreamed of flying.
- Oh, my God.
- So, Josh Roberts, the man of Salt Lake City,
has brought his flying jet ski for you fine folks today.
- What?
- Cue the music, please.
- If this points in any direction
other than perfectly straight,
well, let's just say,
Josh might be in a little more than one piece.
- There's a jet ski on land. - Wow.
- How are feeling out there, Josh?
- This really is excellent.
- Three.
Two.
One.
Hit it.
both: * It's Tricky *
* Tricky, Tricky, Tricky, Tricky *
[wild cheering]
[suspenseful music]
* *
- Oh! - Oh, my God!
- Yes! - Oh, my Gpd!
- Yes!
He's the land jet ski champion of the world!
- Oh, my God!
- Yeah, Josh! [wild cheering]
- I thought they were gonna be on bikes.
- That was a jet ski.
- Yeah, that was crazy.
- Next up, we have a professional BMX rider,
but you know what, to up the ante,
we added a wheel to his vehicle here.
- Are you serious?
- As a kid, his favorite toy was a tricycle,
and we decided to re-gift him that for his birthday.
- Oh, my God. - [laughs]
- Guys, this is ridiculous.
- How are you feeling, Todd? You ready to roll?
- Ah, I'm so nervous.
- He's terrified. Perfect! Have fun.
[wild cheering]
all: Whoa!
- He made it!
- Two for two! Two for two!
- Do not try this at home.
Not even on your little sister's big wheel.
- I love this.
- Once again, in the spirit of the unlikely,
a small, young child named Ryan Williams bought a scooter
when he was 12 years old. - Oh, come on.
- And he's brought it all the way to the top
for you fine folks.
Let it rip, R-Willy.
- Come on, Willy!
* *
* It's Tricky to rock a rhyme *
* To rock a rhyme that's right on time *
* It's Tricky * - Oh, wow.
- Oh, my God!
both: * Tricky, Tricky, Tricky, Tricky *
- Oh! - Whoo!
- And he landed! He landed it!
- Three for three! Three for three!
- Yo! Oh, my God! - Dude!
- I can't believe I landed.
- I just can't believe he landed that.
- He's small, but fierce. My friend, Kurt, is down here.
He's looking a little-- a little sleepy here.
- What is that?
- All right, he's got, what is this, a mattress?
- Oh, my God. That is a sofa.
- No, way.
- He's looking a little sleepy,
so we brought his recliner chair.
- [laughs]
- He is in a reclining chair.
- He really loves his naps.
I hope you don't take one on the concrete, Kurtis.
Have fun. - Oh.
- * To rock a rhyme that's right on time *
- Oh, gosh. - Whoa!
both: * Tricky, Tricky, Tricky, Tricky *
[wild cheering]
- Oh, no! Too far back!
[wild cheering]
both: Yeah! - Whoa!
- Yeah!
Oh! Oh! - With the drift!
- Yeah! - That's Kurtis freaking Downs!
- Whoo!
- All you grandpas out there, don't try this.
[laughter] - That was so cool!
- I live on a nice, quiet, little farm in Bend, Oregon,
and I brought my friend here, Nelly.
Nelly has always dreamed of flying, just like me.
This for all you folks.
- Go on, Nelly.
- * To rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme *
* That's right on time * - Yeah!
- Whoa!
both: * Tricky, Tricky, Tricky, Tricky *
[wild cheering]
- Oh! - Whoo! Oh!
[wild cheering]
- Yo!
[wild cheering]
- Yo, this is crazy! - Let's go!
[wild cheering]
Yo!
- I mean, how fun is that?
[hopeful music]
[wild cheering]
* *
- Brilliant. Brilliant. - Yeah.
- [chuckles]
- Good job, Kings!
Oh, my God! You were amazing, man!
Everybody landed, dude. Nobody wiped out.
- That does not normally happen.
- You wanna walk to the top real quick?
- Yes. - You're going up there?
- Here's your boy.
He gotta be proud of you guys, man.
- My God. - They all landed.
- I've never seen that before. - The landing was unreal!
- Hey, could you help Nikki up to the top right here?
- Oh, that's incredible.
- Yes, run up here. - You got it. You got it.
- Whoo! - All right. Oh, here you go.
Now, turn around real quick.
Now, look at that. The run-in right there.
- That's insane!
You guys, that was in--
[grunts] - Oh!
- * And that's about the time she walked away from me *
- I'm sorry! Travis put me up to it.
- * And are still more amused by TV shows *
- [laughs]
- Wait! - [laughs]
- [chuckles] - I'm sorry!
- Don't be sorry. I loved it.
- That was a pretty weak drop, Dusty.
- Actually, you know what?
- I'm not trained in "WWE"! [laughter]
- * That's about the time she walked away from me *
* No one should take themselves so seriously *
* With many years ahead to fall in line *
* Why would you wish that on me? *
- Thank you, guys. Unreal. [wild cheering]
- * What's my age again? What's my age again? *
- Yeah! - Thank you so much.
- Okay, so how do you think that went?
- Honestly, we blew our own minds.
That was not supposed to work, to be honest.
- Well, I'm glad it worked.
- I mean, you blew my mind. - Thank you so much.
- Every landing after landing with the different objects.
I mean, the scooter, I was like,
there's no way he's gonna land that.
- Let's go, scooters!
- That was so beyond impressive.
All of it was impressive, and it was so extreme.
I was very impressed.
- Thank you so much. - All right.
- I mean, look, where do I start?
It was ridiculously fantastic in my mind.
You're very likable.
I thought the act was sensational.
You genuinely are one of my favorite acts so far.
- Thank you. Thank you so much.
- Travis. - Oh, man.
- Simon, I gotta say that, in Nitro Circus,
usually the problem is the guys push so hard
that everyone falls, and they always harp on him.
Like, "Dude, if we all fall,
we looked like a bunch of idiots."
So I think they took that to heart a little bit too far.
You were able to-- - Hang one.
Are you saying you wanted one of them
to hurt themselves? - No, you need--
Somebody has to crash in every show
to show how dangerous it is... - What?
- And you guys all landed it.
So I don't--I don't know. [booing]
- So you did badly because you didn't crash.
- Yeah, I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one.
- You never try to crash, but I'm just saying,
if you were to move on to the next round, definitely go ahead
and buy some bigger ramps, and bring that to the next show--
[buzzer] - Whoa!
- [laughs]
- Why would you do that to us?
- Not what I meant! - Why would you do that?
- He scared me.
- That was terrifying. My heart just sunk.
- Mine did too. - You're a bad friend.
- Well, here's the good news: Travis isn't voting.
Nikki.
- You guys made the "AGT: Extreme" backyard
so fun, so kick-ass.
It is a yes for me.
- Whoo! - Yes!
Let's go! - All right, come on!
- And now, you have a second yes,
which means you are in front of the superfans
and possibly the finals.
- Yes! - Thank you, guys so much.
- You're welcome. Good job, guys.
- They're in, baby!
- [laughs] - Yeah!
- Whoa! - Here we go!
Yeah!
- You're in! You're in!
- Travis was so hard on them.
- Dreadful.
Absolutely appalling. [laughter]
- Now, you gotta come down that ramp
in a washer and dryer now.
- I can't believe they landed that stuff.
- Yeah, actually, the first time
I've ever seen the jet ski.
- And when you see all these things,
like, what are they gonna do with that?
It's brilliant. - So brilliant.
- Way to stay alive. - Whoo!
- Way to stay alive, boys. - Yeah, I love that.
- Wow, look how big this track is, Meemaw.
- Oh, isn't it wonderful? - Check it out.
I'm Hunter. I'm 24 years old.
I'm from Baraboo, Wisconsin,
and I'm a professional stunt performer.
And this is my grandma, Lillian.
- I come from Denmark, and I am the biggest fan.
This is so beautiful.
Everything is so pretty here. - It's so cool.
From a young age, I grew up riding dirt bikes
and motorcycles just for fun at the time.
And then, it started to get a little more serious.
I started thinking, can I make a career out of doing this?
And my grandma, Lillian,
she is honestly been my biggest supporter.
She comes to everything with me.
- I like the excitement.
- Yeah, me too.
Now, I've been able to do some of the coolest
and the most wild stunts I've ever dreamt of.
[exciting music]
But the more I practice,
the more I realized my act was missing something,
and that's Grandma Lillian as my partner.
- * Here I am *
* *
* Rock you like a hurricane *
- I said, "Listen, you are doing some crazy stuff,
and I wanna do it."
And he said, "What?"
- * Hurricane *
- I said, "Well, maybe I'm crazy, but I'm gon' do it."
- We're gonna go through all these burning walls
on that motorcycle.
- With you, Lillian? - Yeah.
I'm ready. I'm gonna go, go, go, go.
- * Rock you like a hurricane *
- "America's Got Talent: Extreme,"
we've been dreaming of an opportunity like this
for a long, long time, and we're ready.
Let's see what we can do.
- Ooh, bring it.
- What do you think about our judges?
- Oh, Simon. - [squeals]
- He better give me a hug.
- Ooh! - You heard him.
- I've been looking all over for Simon.
[laughter]
- * Here I am *
- Making it to the finals... - Yeah.
- Would be a dream come true. - Yeah.
- Tonight, we are going for the win,
and we are gonna do it.
You watch it. - [chuckles]
- You watch it.
Everybody watch it. [laughter]
[rain pattering]
[dramatic music]
[sirens wail]
* *
[wild cheering]
- Hello.
How are you?
- We're doing pretty good. How are you?
- Very nice to meet you. - Aw.
It's an honor to meet you.
- Ah, likewise.
Now, who are you?
- My name is Lillian. - Lillian, and--
- And I'm 90 years old. - You look amazing.
- Yeah, Lillian. - Whoo!
- Yeah. - And I'm Hunter.
And I'm 24 years old. Grandson of Lillian.
- Ah, I thought you were kinda girlfriend-boyfriend, but...
[laughter]
Okay, so tell me a bit about you two.
- So we are professional stunt performers.
My grandma, Lillian, she decided
to come out of retirement and join me in the fun.
- Are you serious? - Serious.
Yes. - Wow, okay.
So this really is extreme.
Tell me why you entered the competition
and what you wanna get out of it.
- I want to prove to the old people
that they never get too old
to do what they would want to do.
- Aw. - Yeah!
Yeah! - I love that.
I love that. [cheers and applause]
So this is dangerous? - Very dangerous.
- Are you sure you want to do this in these conditions?
- Yes, we want to do it. - Yeah, we're ready.
- Are you sure? - Yeah.
- We're 100%. - All right.
Good luck, both of you.
- Thank you.
[cheers and applause] - Hey, Simon.
The whole time I've been here, I want a hug from you.
- Aw. - Now? Let's do it.
- Aw, Meemaw!
[wild cheering] - Meemaw!
- That is so cute. - Come here, you.
Aw, bless you, sweetheart. - Aw.
- Aw!
- Aw, thank you. And good luck tonight.
- I love you. - Okay. Be careful, okay?
- Thank you. - Bye.
- Whoo-hoo! [laughter]
- Aw, that's so cute.
[epic music]
* *
[sirens wail]
* *
- Travis, stating the obvious here:
not ideal conditions.
- No. Real easy to slide out.
Dirt bike tires are not made for this.
Wet, slippery.
And whenever you hit, usually your eyes close
and you kind of-- it hits your handlebars.
So that could wash out and slam you down pretty easily.
- Great.
- There's a lot of pressure for that kid, though.
With his grandmother on the bike, like, just to--
not that you ever want to hurt anybody,
but definitely, you don't wanna do anything--
- Hurt your, yeah, 90-year-old grandmother.
[engine revs]
Ooh.
- Let me tell you how much guts I've got.
I'm unzipping my jacket. - Yeah.
That's extreme.
- That's extreme.
Simon's getting extreme. - Not the whole way.
[music swells]
* *
- Oh, so slippery. - Uh-oh, you were right.
- Ooh. - You were right, Travis.
- It has magnified the stunt
times ten. - Yeah.
I'm so nervous for her.
- Oh, man, I just hope the front end doesn't tuck
or something silly just because of the rain, man.
- Yeah.
- Light it, guys. Light it.
- All right, they're lighting it up right now.
[engine revs]
[audience oohs]
[engine revs]
It's all systems go.
- All right.
[distressed screams]
- The open call virtual audition
for the next season of "America's Got Talent"
are almost over. - Wow!
- People are gonna remember this audition.
- Go to AGTauditions.com
for your last chance to show us your talent.
[dramatic music]
[engine revs]
- It's all systems go.
* *
- All right.
[distressed screams]
[wild cheering]
- Whoa! Whoa! [applause]
[wild cheering]
- Yeah! - How are you guys doing?
How are you? - We're doing good!
- Did you? You made it!
You did it! You did it!
Okay, we're about to head back to the stage
and see what the judges thought.
- * No silent prayer for faith-departed *
* *
- Let's go! [wild cheering]
- * And I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd *
- Yeah! - Whoo!
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
* *
- [blows kiss] [laughter]
- Yeah, Meemaw.
I mean, I have to say,
you know, me sitting on the retired bench,
you inspire me that, one day,
I'm gonna get back in that ring and kick some ass.
So I love everything you represent.
You are still one extreme badass.
- Thank you. - * It's my life *
* It's now or never *
- For me, you're using a 125 two-stroke.
That's the lightest possible bike.
And, you know, Meemaw doesn't weigh a lot on the back,
so every time you're hitting anything,
it's knocking the bike sideways, it's wet.
You know. I have nothing but respect.
You guys went for it.
- Thank you, Travis. We really appreciate that.
[wild cheering] - I adore both of you.
I think it's hard to put into words how dangerous it was.
And if you've got that kind of determination,
that's what we're looking for on this show.
It was amazing! - Yeah!
- Thank you. - Thank you very much, Simon.
- I really mean that. [wild cheering]
- My biggest thing is, I met Simon.
I met you, and I love you.
- And I met you. - Aw.
- I think I feel a love connection.
- Well, can I start off?
I'd like to give you a yes. - Yes, yes.
- Thank you.
[wild cheering]
- And you got a yes from me too.
I want to see more. - Thank you.
- You guys are so inspirational.
- Yeah. - It's a yes from me as well.
- Awesome. Thank you so much.
- Awesome. Thank you.
[wild cheering]
- See you later. Call me.
[wild cheering]
- * I just want to live while I'm alive *
- Amazing. - That's great.
- You got a hug from Simon! You got the whole thing.
And you got three yeses.
- We got more left, don't we? - Yes, I got.
- Oh, you got it! You got it!
[wild cheering]
- Whoo!
- * It's my life *
[rock music]
- Nothing like some danger and some birthdays.
Can't believe they both had birthdays
right by each other.
I do need a few more candles for their ages,
but I think this will do just fine.
Travis-- Oh, hey, guys.
- Oh. - * Happy birthday to you *
- * You * - * Happy birthday *
* To you both * - Aw.
- * Me * - * Happy birthday *
- * Dear Simon and Travis * - To us.
- You're the best. both: * Happy birthday to *
* You * - Us!
- Now, you guys have to make sure to make a wish.
- [wheezes]
You got--you got one. - I hope you guys made a wish.
- Thank you so much. - You're welcome.
- I just wish that you didn't body-slam me.
so that's--that's all I'm--
- Oh, that's still to come.
- Does that have a heart on it?
- Yeah, I mean, hearts.
- I'm on a cake with Simon.
Hey, we made it, Nikki. - We made it.
- It looks great. - Yes!
- Travis, your gift is coming,
but we had to get Simon something from the UK.
- Yes. - Wow!
God. Hello. - [laughs]
- Oh, my God, thank you. Oh, my goodness.
Okay, I've got-- thank you very much indeed.
Literally, in real life, they never talk, ever.
- I feel like it's a special birthday, though.
Maybe today, we can.
- I think he's-- I think he's got an itch,
but he can't itch it. - Wow.
- Okay, let me explain what this is.
- Okay. - Okay, teabags.
- I-- - Oh.
Nothing like a good, old teabag.
- Light crisps.
What do you call them? Chips.
These are amazing with toast.
I mean, amazing. - Beans? Wow.
- They're beans. - Yeah.
- You guys-- you shipped him beans.
You know they make beans in America?
- Not like that. - Not like that.
- This is kind of the food equivalent of meat.
You either like meat or hate meat.
This is weird.
- Peanut butter? Jelly? Syrup?
- And for you.
- Yes. - Yeah.
- That's my gift. Thank you very much.
He really isn't gonna talk? Awkward.
- Are you from over there, or is this just like--
Is this an acting gig, or is this--
- No, he's from the UK.
Oh, no.
[pop]
[laughter]
- Wow. - I mean, that is impressive.
- He didn't even blink. - He didn't blink.
- No, it was amazing. Truly great.
- You've gotta have nerves of steel.
- That's extreme. [laughs]
- Coming up...
- Only three people in the world can do this trick.
- Here we go! - That's really dangerous.
This is phenomenal, man.
[dramatic music]
[wild cheering]
- I nearly had my heart attack during that performance.
- [screams]
- It was absolute perfection.
- What you did is probably one of the most dangerous acts
I've ever seen in my life.
* *
- Give it up for the legend, Travis Pastrana!
[wild cheering]
- Travis Pastrana is one
of the best action sports athletes
that's ever existed on the planet.
[wild cheering]
- Travis is making me a little nervous
because he knows danger.
[wild cheering]
I mean, the man lives for danger.
- * Bang, bang, won't stop till we're legends *
- Being in action sports, like, we were always kinda laughed at
growing up, like, "Oh, you'll never make it in that.
You know, you got to get a real job."
- Yeah. - And here I am at 37,
still traveling the world and playing on kids' toys.
- * Won't stop till we're legends *
- When I found out that Travis Pastrana is one of the judges,
I was like, "Oh, my God. How can we impress that man?"
- * Won't stop till we're legends *
- He push the limit every time.
He's a legend. - Hi, guys.
- Travis! - Hey.
- I'm excited.
- This is gonna be good. - This is gonna be big.
- I am Diako Diaby. I'm from Paris.
I'm 27, and I am a extreme inline freestyle skater.
- * My feet go boom, boom, boom *
* Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom *
- I grew up in France with my mom,
my two big brother, and my sister.
We didn't have a lot of money,
and, yeah, we have a difficult life.
But when I was 12 years old,
my mom gave me a pair of inline skate,
and it changed my life.
* *
When I skate, I feel like I'm free and I can do anything.
- * I got the same, old shoes *
- I love my mom so much.
I want to give her a really good life.
- * Hey, uh-huh, you can't stop me *
- I won championships in France,
but I want to take skating on the next level.
- * I can't wait, no *
- Inline skate is not famous in France.
We have competition,
but it's like, maximum, you win, like, 2,000 euros.
- A half a million dollars will go a long way.
- Yeah, that's my-- that's a dream for me.
I really wanna win "America's Got Talent: Extreme,"
so this performance,
I will do my most difficult tricks.
- Out of all the judges... - Yeah.
- Who do you want to impress the most?
- Travis. - Travis.
- He's a legend because he's a big example
of what you can do with your passion.
So that's why, yeah, I wanna be like him.
* *
This is my big chance to impress you
and change my life.
Feeling nervous, but I'm gonna give it everything I got.
- * Boom, boom, boom *
- Hello. - Hello.
- Very nice to meet you. What's your name?
- Diako. - Diako?
- Exactly. - Got it.
Okay. Where are you from?
- I'm from France.
- A la française. - Oh, bonjour.
- Bonjour. [laughter]
- Have you come all the way from France
to be on this show?
- Yeah.
It's a dream to be here.
And I want to give my passion at everyone
because it's not a famous practice, inline skate.
Sorry. My English is, you know, a little bit bad.
- Sorry. My French is dreadful.
Now, with what we're about to see today,
is this something unique?
- I'm gonna do a Flat 900 trick.
It's a flip with two spin and half.
We are only three people in the world
who can do this trick, sir.
- Seriously? - Yeah.
- Wow. - Yeah.
That's hard. Good for you.
- That's right. I--
I have a question for you.
All of these ramps have just been built,
so you haven't had a lot of practice out here.
It's very steep.
Do you have a setup like this in France,
or is this completely new?
- This kind of ramp, I don't have this in France,
and so, my training is when I go to the competition.
- So you're coming here doing a trick
that you've only been able to practice at competitions?
Like, that's really dangerous.
- Oh, my God. - Wow.
[cheers and applause]
- What is the dream apart from the money?
Where would you like this act to go?
- If I win, I will give a house of my mom, my family,
so that, sir.
And I'm gonna put a big skate park in France
with this kind of ramps.
Like, really big. And, yeah.
- Okay, here's the good news: no more questions.
- Yeah, let's see it. - [laughs]
- Thank you. - Good luck.
[cheers and applause]
[epic music]
* *
- Here we go.
[cheers and applause]
- When we go out and do a stunt,
there's months and months of practice
on the same exact ramp.
These ramps have just been built.
- Yeah, they look fresh. - I don't know
how much practice he has, but it's within the week.
- He's nervous. - Yeah, he's nervous.
[wild cheering]
[UNSECRET'S "Higher" playing]
* *
- * Are you ready? *
* *
- Here we go!
- * Are you ready? *
* *
* Let's go * - Yeah!
- * Time to rise for the anthem *
* You are looking at the champions *
* Out of bounds, running through the clouds *
* I don't plan on landing *
* I'm a wild dream realized *
* Long-awaited, but I just arrived *
* Excuse me while I kiss the sky *
* I feel so alive *
* Higher, higher *
* Can we go even higher? *
* Once we get it to the utmost *
* We gon' take it even higher *
- Whoa! - Come on!
[audience ohs]
- Whoa! Yes! [wild cheering]
- * I can't even see the ground *
- Whoa, yes! Whoo! - Whoo!
- * We're the dawning horizon *
* On the rise like a pilot *
* Yeah, they tried to put me in a box *
* But the vibe too giant *
- Yeah! - Yeah!
- * We gon' take it even higher *
[wild cheering]
- * I can't even see the ground *
* Going way, way, way up *
* We ain't ever coming down *
- Yes! - Yo!
- * Elevated, feeling high, yeah *
- Okay, here we go.
This is the Flat 900 right here.
The Flat 900.
- * Level up and living loud, yeah *
- That will take a lot of energy out of you.
So he's done all that, and now he's got to do
the hardest trick.
Legs are like jello.
- * Time to rise for the anthem *
- One of three people in the world!
- [exhaling slowly]
[suspenseful music]
- Whoa! - Whoo!
- Oh, my God!
- * Can we go even higher? *
* Once we get it to the utmost *
* We gon' take it even higher *
* Can we go even higher? *
- Oh, he did it! [wild cheering]
- * Can we go even higher? *
[wild cheering]
* We gon' take it even higher *
- Diako!
Wow! - [chuckles]
- Talk to me. How do you feel? - Oh, my God.
- You did it, man! - Excuse me.
Wow! [wild cheering]
- That Flat 900 was incredible. - Thank you.
- Give it up for Diako one more time!
And let's see what the judges have to say.
[wild cheering]
- Uh, I think you're a really, really nice guy,
and I loved your story about your family,
what you would do with the money.
But I think when you're doing something like this,
it's about skill and showmanship.
For me, it was just that the whole time.
[booing]
And I think based on some of the acts we've seen so far,
I think you're gonna struggle to win this.
But I'm not an expert.
That's why we have these two. - Yeah.
Nikki, what do you think?
- I mean, for me, I was super impressed.
And you make rollerblading look easy.
Like, you're so good, you make it
like I can go out there and do what you do.
But I was extremely impressed.
Great job. - Thank you so much.
[wild cheering]
- Travis, what did you think?
- What I saw from you out there...
it impressed me.
[wild cheering]
- Yes!
- You inspire me.
Your set up, your performance.
I think your style is what action sports is all about.
It's what it needs more of.
You put in a flawless run.
Then, while you're tired, you do the hardest trick,
a trick that you're one of only three people in the world
to ever do.
I think this is phenomenal, man,
Great work. - Yeah!
- Thank you. [wild cheering]
For me, it's, like, an honor
to, like, perform in front of you,
so I'm happy.
- That was inspiring, man. It was really cool.
- That's the guy he wanted to impress.
- Okay. Travis, yes or no?
- I would love to see you perform in the finale.
And that's a yes from me, for sure.
- Thank you so much.
[wild cheering]
- Nikki? - It's a yes from me.
I wanna see what you do next.
- Yes. - Thank you so much.
Two yeses.
- You could do a much better performance than that,
but I'm gonna take a leap of faith.
I'm gonna give you a yes.
- Yes!
- Thank you so much.
- Good luck with the superfans.
- Thank you.
[wild cheering]
For me, that was a dream, you know?
It's like, I'm happy. [chuckles]
- Have you ever rollerbladed? - No.
I've taken my son, and, like, that's enough.
Trust me.
- [chuckles]
- Hey, Mom, guess what?
I made it! Ha!
- * I feel brand-new *
- "AGT: Extreme" is all about the acts that are too big
to go on an indoor stage, and this is--look at it.
It's gigantic!
- My name is Jade Kindar-Martin.
I'm 47 years old, and I'm a high-wire walker.
- You're about to be way up there.
- Yup. This is the cable.
- This is unbelievable, man.
This is super dangerous.
- It's 100 feet long, 25 feet high.
If I slip, I'm gonna go straight down.
- I can't even walk this on the ground.
- I started high-wire walking
at 14 years old at summer camp.
The teacher set up a small, tight rope.
Everybody kind of fell off, one after another.
When I got up, I just walked straight across.
He kind of looked at me. He says, "Wait, do that again."
That moment was really exciting,
to find something that I was really great at.
It immediately became a real passion for me,
and I started getting really serious about it.
- What does your family think about what you do?
- My wife is here with me today.
She just wants me to be careful.
When we had our first kid, people would say,
"Oh, so now you're gonna stop doing high wire?"
I'd say, "No, this is what I do."
I want to impart to my children to follow their dreams
and do what makes them happy.
- Wait, I'm noticing there's no nets here.
- There is no nets. There's no nets.
There is no highline. - Oh, man.
You know, you're giving me a heart attack right now.
- Tonight, I'm gonna push the limits of high-wire.
I'll not only be performing without safety lines,
I've added something that makes it extra dangerous
with the help of my brother.
- It's scary,
but high-wire walking, it's in my soul.
[dramatic music]
- This is cool.
- I'm here to show everybody something
that definitely has never been seen before.
[wild cheering]
- Well, welcome on the show.
What's your name? Where are you from?
- My name is Jade Kindar-Martin,
and I grew up in Vermont.
- And what are you doing here today?
- Tonight, I will be walking on a 5'8" inch cable.
It's 25 feet in the air.
- Wow.
- No airbags, no crash mats.
- There's nothing underneath for safety?
- That's right. - No tethers?
You're using nothing? - It's just me up there.
Just me, my balance pole,
and my skill. - Wow.
[scattered applause]
- Sir, how old are you? - I'm 47.
- And you have a family? - I do.
I'm a normal guy most of the time.
You know, I've got three kids. I've got a wife.
- How old are your kids?
- 14, 11, and 7. [cheers and applause]
- How dangerous is this?
- It's very dangerous.
- And you think you're okay to do this?
- I do, I do.
- And do you think you can win?
- Gosh, I'd love to. I would.
It would--it would change our lives.
- Tell me. - It sounds cheesy,
and I apologize, but I'd buy my mom a house.
- There's nothing wrong with that.
- I'm--I'm really looking forward to it.
- I'm nervous. - Good luck.
- Thank you very much. [wild cheering]
[epic music]
* *
- There he goes.
Oh, look, they're giving him a hug.
That's that hug, boy, right before all this danger happens.
- No mat, no padding, Crazy.
- That's wild.
[distressed screams]
- Now, you start to see how big that thing is
now that he's up there.
- That's high, yeah.
- That's a long way up.
- No, it scares me.
- [exhales sharply]
[exhales sharply]
[distressed screams] - No.
- Oh, my God! - Oh!
- What? - Christ Almighty.
- Yes! [wild cheering]
- Wow, he is really up there.
That's a long way up.
- That's high, yeah.
- That's cra-- it has no net, bro.
- No, it scares me.
[suspenseful music]
* *
[distressed screams]
[unsettling music]
* *
[distressed screams]
- [weakly] Ah!
[wild cheering]
- * Here we are *
- Yo! - * Don't turn away now *
* We are the warriors *
* That built this town *
* Here we are *
* Don't turn away now *
* We are the warriors *
- Oh! - * That built this town *
* *
[distressed screams]
* *
[wild cheering] - Is that the moonwalk?
* *
- He is dancing on a tight rope!
* *
[wild cheering]
* *
[wild cheering]
He's getting a bicycle!
[wild cheering]
* *
[wild cheering]
* *
[wild cheering]
- You know how hard it is to stop
and stay still on a bicycle?
Let alone on a wire?
- * We are the warriors *
* That built this town *
- Yeah!
[wild cheering]
* *
- * We are the warriors *
* That built this town *
[wild cheering]
- Yes! Yes!
* *
[wild cheering]
- Wow!
[wild cheering]
That might be
the most difficult thing I think we've seen.
- This is really nuts.
I feel like there's been a few acts that, like, oversold it.
And then, the acts that are truly great
have been really underplayed by their stuntmen.
- And then, you're looking, and you're like,
no, that's extreme. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- What do you think about what just happened?
- It was really good.
- You asked him, "Was it dangerous?"
As a matter of fact, it is. - And I'm happy about that.
- Yep. - Oh, my gosh.
- All right, we gonna take it to the main stage
and find out what the judges thought.
It's absolutely incredible. That's all I can say.
You just dropped the mic on 'em, brother.
- Thank you. Thank you. - Pow.
- We are moving to the main stage.
Going back to the main stage.
[wild cheering]
- Jade, I have to say,
that was one of the most intense
and inspiring acts I've seen here.
In a world where everything is built up and oversold,
you never were like,
"This is the biggest. This is the greatest."
As you're riding a bicycle with no handlebars,
you crossed half-inch rope that's pretty much on fire.
The fact that you let your actions just be that crazy
that it didn't need to be oversold,
I thought that was just absolutely impressive.
- Thank you, I really appreciate that.
- Yes, yes. [wild cheering]
- Nikki, what do you think?
- I mean, you made it so unexpected.
I mean, when you hit that first, like, dance move
and the fire went crazy, I was like, "Yeah!"
It was just so entertaining,
but yet, at the same time, so extreme.
I mean, if you were to do one wrong move,
it would be a show we wouldn't wanna see, right?
Or an ending we wouldn't wanna see.
So, it was incredible. [wild cheering]
- Yes!
- Thank you very much.
- I totally agree
with everything Nikki and Travis said.
What you did is probably one of the most dangerous acts
we've seen throughout the whole season,
and we've seen some crazy, dangerous acts.
And I think everything about you is sincere.
That's why we actually came up with this show.
You know, it's to give people like you an opportunity
to be seen hopefully by millions of people
and, you know, and maybe this could
and will change your life.
And I think what you did was difficult to describe,
unbelievable to watch,
and I would love to be able to give you your first yes.
- * There's a moment in your bones when *
* When the fire takes over *
- Nikki? - It's a yes.
- Thank you very much.
[wild cheering]
- I was on board with the moonwalk,
but the bicycle, oh, it's definitely a yes.
- * We can be heroes everywhere we go *
* Keeping us down is impossible *
* 'Cause we're unstoppable *
- One step closer to that house.
- * We're unstoppable *
- Well done.
- * We're unstoppable *
* Oh, we're unstoppable *
- All right, you guys rocked it.
The family that risks it all together, stays together.
I like that.
- Nice guy.
[camera shutter clicks] - I'm speechless.
- I knew it was gonna be good all along, so I'm very proud.
- I got three yeses from the judges.
- No way! - Whoa!
- What if we win actually?
- That's something for us to dream about.
- * Oh, we're unstoppable *
* We're unstoppable *
- Coming up...
[wild cheering]
- This show is giving me a lot of anxiety.
- This looks insane!
- [screams]
- Holy [bleep]. - Oh, my God!
[dramatic music]
- I wonder where we're gonna set up at.
- Gonna meet Terry Crews. - Look at this.
- Hey. What's up, guys? - Nice to meet you.
- April? - April.
- And? - Justin.
- Pleasure to meet you, man.
- And what's the name of your act?
- So we are The Flying Royals.
* *
The only crisscrossing flying trapeze act in the world.
We started this four years ago.
- Yeah. - Everyone has their own job.
And we are working together, living together
with our eight troupe members.
- All right. Pull this string.
One, two, three. Nice and easy.
[chuckles]
- Flying trapeze takes a lot of trust,
so it's super important that we are all very close.
We spend 90% of our time together,
and then, as much time as possible,
we're up in the air, flying.
- And do you guys have kids?
- Yes. - We do.
We have two boys,
and a surprise third on the way.
- And you are-- wait a minute!
Now, okay, this is real extreme.
- I am not flying.
I am not flying. - Okay. Okay.
Now, tell me, what's crisscrossing trapeze?
- A regular trapeze act is one bar
flying in one direction to the catcher.
But we have three bars, so we have 360 degrees
of flying trapeze happening, all at the same way.
- Wait, that's way more dangerous.
- Absolutely. [laughter]
People have seen flying trapeze before,
but they've never seen flying trapeze in this extreme way.
- What we're doing is very dangerous.
When we have eight people up in the air,
one mistake can throw everything off.
- So no matter how good I do my job,
if he doesn't do his, I could still get hurt.
You need that trust on the rig,
not just in your own tricks,
but in the people that are up there with you.
- Okay, let's move to the performance site.
Judges are on their way. Judges are on their way.
- What would it mean to you to win $500,000?
- That will absolutely help keep this troupe alive,
The Flying Royals.
This is the biggest stage we could possibly be on.
It's a tough world out there,
so this is definitely gonna help us out.
- Well, this looks cool.
- Okay. - Wow.
- How y'all doing today?
[cheers and applause]
- Being here on "AGT: Extreme" is a huge opportunity.
Because our work has been inconsistent,
it's been hard to keep the family together.
- Our dream for The Flying Royals
is to create our own show.
- I wanna do that.
I don't know what it is, but I wanna do it.
- Right now, it's really hard to find jobs.
- And we wanna be able to stay together,
and "AGT: Extreme" could make that possible.
- There's a lot at stake here, but we believe in each other.
- And we believe in our team.
[wild cheering]
- Hello.
- Hi, hello.
- What's your guys' group name and where are you all from?
- We are The Flying Royals.
We're the only crisscrossing flying trapeze act
performing in the world today.
Our maneuvers can only be performed on our rigging.
It's one of a kind.
And we are based out of Orlando, Florida.
- Amazing.
- Everyone kind of similar backgrounds, or different?
- No, some were gymnasts, some were dancers.
One was a pastry chef.
One was a-- [laughter]
Some just kind of got into it.
We have lived and worked together for, how long now?
- Quite a while. Quite a while.
- So we are not only a family in the air, but on the ground.
There's a saying in trapeze that you,
"Forget the fear. Worry about the addiction,"
so it kind of--when it hooks you, it hooks you.
- This looks really awesome.
So I don't know exactly what's going on, but this is--
- He may join ya.
- Perfect. - Bring it on, man.
- I got spare tights. - Yes.
Well, hey, let's see what you got.
- Thank you. - Here we go.
Here we go. The Flying Royals.
- If they got spare tights, I'm totally in.
[epic music]
* *
[cheers and applause]
I think a ladder might be the toughest part.
- That might be. My goodness.
[dramatic music]
Look at that, man. - How high is that?
- It's like 50 feet, at least.
* *
- Simon, are you excited for this?
- Not really.
I'm not a huge fan of trapeze acts.
- Yeah.
- They used to bore me as a child.
- All right. Here we go.
- [dryly] Whoopee.
[suspenseful music]
- Oh, here they go. Here they go.
[wild cheering]
- [chuckles] - Yeah.
* *
Wow.
- The timing has to be just right.
- Yeah! - Oh, there they go.
- * You made me a believer *
- Yo! They're so in sync. - Yeah!
* *
- * Pain, you made me a *
- Oh! - Wow!
She just switched, right, like that.
- * Believer *
- But they never did, ever lived, ebbin' and flowin' *
- Oh! - Yo!
- Bar.
- * It rained down like *
[wild cheering] * Pain *
* You made me a, you made me a believer *
* Believer * - Whoa!
- Whoo!
- * Pain *
- Oh!
She just knew it was gonna be there.
- * Believer *
- Oh, my. - Look at all the air!
Oh! [wild cheering]
- Whoa! - Oh!
[wild cheering] - Yes! Yeah!
- No! - Oh!
[wild cheering]
- I feel like something big is about to happen.
- * Believer, believer *
* Believer *
[suspenseful music]
* *
- Oh! - Oh!
- Oh, no! - Oh, no!
[audience clamoring]
- Oh, gosh.
- Oh, there we go. There we go.
- All right? - On it.
- Oh, lookit. He's going back up.
- Almost there. - Here we go.
Keep going.
- All right. Here we go.
* *
[wild cheering] - Oh!
- Oh, man, that was like this!
- * You make me a believer *
- Yeah! - Yes!
[wild cheering]
- * Let the bullets fly *
* Oh, let them rain *
* My life, my love, my drive *
* It came from pain *
* You made me a, you made me a believer, believer *
- Go! - Oh!
- * Believer *
[wild cheering]
- Whoa!
[wild cheering]
- Flying Royals!
All right, guys. That was absolutely incredible.
We are now gonna take it to the main stage
and find out what the judges thought.
Here we go. [wild cheering]
Yeah! - Okay.
- That was awesome.
- * Higher, higher, ooh *
[wild cheering]
- Wow, that was incredible.
I mean, the athletic ability that you all have
is just amazing.
How high you got on those flips and all the tricks.
And even though I know there was one drop,
it was a great, great show.
- Thank you. - Thank you so much.
- Travis, what do you think?
- What I loved about your performance is,
I could tell each one of you was going
as absolutely as big as you possibly could.
You're extending it as far as you could,
and you're taking risks.
I appreciate that so much.
- Thank you. Thank you. - Thank you, Travis.
- Simon, what did you think?
- Well, because you all look the same
with these outfits on and everything else,
there's not much personality.
[booing]
You could all be interchangeable.
And then, I got bored.
The best thing was when one of you fell down,
if I'm being honest. - Wow.
[booing] Jeez.
- Oh, you didn't think that? - [laughs]
[booing] - Boo!
- For me, we're trying to find things we've never seen before.
I mean, that was the whole idea.
So you're gonna hate me for this,
but I'm gonna kick this off with a no.
[booing]
- Travis, we have a no. What are you?
- I'm a huge fan of trapeze, unlike Simon, so I am a yes.
- Thank you. Thank you. - Thank you.
[wild cheering]
- And, for me, I have to say, I wasn't bored.
I wanted more, and so, I am with Travis.
It's a yes. - Yes!
- Thank you so much. - Thank you.
- Thank you, Simon.
We will take your opinions to heart.
And, Travis and Nikki, thank you for the yeses.
We do have more up our sleeves. You will not be disappointed.
- Good job, guys.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- * Higher, higher *
- I find trapeze really boring.
- You are so brutally honest. - Of course.
- Talk to me about what Simon said, man.
I mean, come on. He's never been on a trapeze.
He doesn't understand.
- We'll get him up there and see how hard it is.
Maybe it will change his mind.
- You agreed with me.
[booing]
- * I'm so much stronger now *
* I'm so much stronger now *
- Danny, so I just got the crane here now.
I was told that you want to be at 140 feet in the air.
is that true?
- I would go as high as we possibly can.
This is "AGT: Extreme." - Right.
[dramatic music]
- You'll be fine. - Well...
It's scary.
- Yeah, it is scary.
- Okay. Here we go, folks. Here we go.
[cheers and applause]
- I'm so proud of you.
[wild cheering]
- Hello. - Hi, everybody.
- What's your name? - My name is Danny ZZZZ.
I am from St. Catherines, Ontario, Canada,
and I'm so proud to be on this stage.
Being here just gives me an opportunity
to showcase my talent, and I'm coming here to win.
- Yeah. - Great.
I like the confidence.
- Whoo!
- So tell me about you.
What is your day job?
- I don't really have a day job.
I try to do the crazy thing sometimes,
and it's worked out well for me over the years.
- So you do crazy things as your day job?
- Yeah, I guess.
- You're in the right place. - Yeah.
- Yes, sir. Yes, sir. - You certainly are.
So what difference would winning make to you?
- Um...
I'm a proud father of five. - Yep.
- Um...
My family is everything to me.
This year, I lost my son, and...
[solemn music]
* *
- This year? - Yes, sir.
- I'm sorry. - And a 22-year-old boy.
And I really am proud to be on this stage
because I would really like the--the world
to know my son's name.
His name is Mason.
[cheers and applause]
So I came on the biggest stage to do the most extreme...
[applause]
My family is in my heart.
And having the opportunity
just to introduce you to my beautiful boy, just--
my heart is in my hand.
- Okay. Well, look I--I'm--
really, all of us are so sorry to hear that.
- Yes, sir.
- We all wish you the best of luck.
- Thank you, everybody. - For Mason.
[wild cheering]
Oh, so sad.
[dramatic music]
* *
- Danny ZZZZ,
what are you gonna do here on "AGT: Extreme"?
- Well, I am an escape artist.
Sometimes, you gotta push the limit.
So I'm gonna be raised 140 feet up,
and I'm gonna have one minute to escape
before the automatic release drops that box and I fall.
It is the scariest thing.
- There's no way back from a thing that's this high.
- No, sir.
[epic music]
* *
- How's it going? [wild cheering]
- This looks insane!
[screams]
[sirens wail]
- Okay, Danny ZZZZ, are you ready to make this happen?
- As ready as I'm gonna be, my friend.
- Okay. - Here we go.
[suspenseful music]
* *
He's nervous.
- Is he? Wow.
- Okay.
- Okay, right now, Danny is getting strapped into a box.
He's being shackled.
And he's being placed into a mailbag,
which is also being locked.
He'll be lifted up 140 feet
and only have one minute to pick all the locks and escape.
- What do you think, Simon?
- I'm a bit worried for him. - Yeah.
- The time starts now.
- Pick him up.
Get out of here guys, please. Back up.
- Danny is getting taken up 140 feet into the air...
- Oh, God.
- And has one minute to escape before he falls.
He's going up right now.
- Would they really just let it go?
- Yeah. - Oh, my gosh.
- Look at it. It's shaking.
- This is Danny ZZZZ's wife. How are you feeling right now?
- Sick.
[audience ohs]
- Time is running out.
Can he do it? He's got ten seconds.
all: Nine, eight,
seven, six,
five, four,
three, two, one.
[automatic release click] [distressed screams]
- Oh, my gosh.
[distressed screams]
[concerned murmurs]
- He's up there!
- Yes!
- Oh, my God! [wild cheering]
Oh!
[wild cheering]
Oh, my! I had a heart attack.
Oh, man.
- Unbelievable. - Wow. Wow.
[wild cheering]
Danny ZZZZ.
Oh. [chuckles]
Wow.
Danny, listen, we are gonna go to the main stage.
We'll find out what the judges think
about that brilliant performance, brother.
- Thank you so much. [wild cheering]
all: [chanting] Mason. Mason.
Mason. Mason. Mason.
Mason. Mason. Mason. Mason.
[wild cheering]
- Whoo!
[hopeful music]
[wild cheering]
* *
- Danny ZZZZ.
That was one of the most emotional roller coasters
I've ever experienced.
You had me on the edge of my seat the entire time.
And hats off to you, hats off to Mason
for giving you the motivation to be out here.
[wild cheering] - Thank you.
And--and when the crowd was chanting his name,
it--it was the biggest gift.
Thank you all so much.
[wild cheering]
- Nikki, what do you think?
- Ooh, that was crazy.
A parent's love is just so strong,
and it's so unconditional.
And I don't know what it's like to lose--
I can't even imagine that--
but whether you win or lose, you've already won
because everyone will know Mason's name.
[wild cheering]
- Yes. Yes.
[wild cheering]
- Simon.
- You know, there were so many emotions
running through my head.
We're--we're all parents here,
and we were all thinking about that.
And then, I'm looking at how high this thing is.
When it crashed, it was one of the scariest things,
honestly, I've ever seen.
So I would love to be able to say yes.
[wild cheering]
- Nikki.
- I am 100% yes.
[wild cheering]
- I'm gonna have to say that I'm a yes as well.
- Yes!
[wild cheering]
- Can I give you a hug? - I would love that.
[wild cheering]
Thank you so much.
all: [chanting] Mason. Mason.
Mason. Mason. Mason.
Mason. Mason. Mason. Mason.
[wild cheering]
- The greatest extreme acts
from all over the world
have come here tonight to compete.
- I'm coming here to win.
- On a scale of one to ten, how dangerous is this?
- We might be cranking it to 11, actually.
[wild cheering]
- Faster, riskier, crazier.
And way more dangerous than anything ever seen
on "America's Got Talent" ever before.
[dramatic music]
* *
- All right. There you go.
It's "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 game.
- * Whoa *
- But the cage of death was my first love with danger.
- * Start me up *
- The cage of death is a cage made of metal
with motorbikes constantly spinning
in the same direction.
The G-force push you against the cage
so the bike don't fall off.
But is one of the most dangerous acts in the world.
It's been proven to be a little--
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 heads
to make everything happen
'cause every motion has to be perfect.
- If they wreck, we'll call EMS in.
- We do everything to be safe.
But there is always a big risk
when we 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.
- * 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 Stott, and Gary Lawrence.
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.
- * Oh, start me up *
- So I'm here to claim my title
of "America's Got Talent: Extreme" champion.
- * I was born *
- That's destiny.
- * Born ready *
* I was born, born ready *
- You are here on "AGT: Extreme," Alfredo.
- Yeah. - Talk to me, man.
- The name, it 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 rev]
- There's something about the sound of their bikes.
[wild cheering]
- That's my man.
He's a real-life superhero.
- Alfredo. - Hi.
- So first, tell everyone how we know each other,
what you did on the show. - Sure.
For the new judges-- hi, Travis.
We love you. - How's it going?
- We love you too, but Travis is a god.
- Yeah, I agree. He is a god.
- Yeah, so my name is Alfredo Silva,
but most people know me as Deadly Games.
I play with danger.
So I throw knives, I shoot arrows, I play with fire.
And "AGT: Extreme,"
I have a feeling that was made it for me.
- Tell me about what you are 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 gonna have the cage riders,
and we gonna have another two FMX rider
jumping over the globe at the same time.
- Wow. - This show is giving me
a lot of anxiety.
I've gotta be honest with you. - Yeah.
- You're gonna 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 wanna make him proud.
And that would be the ultimate prize for me.
- Bless you. Bless you.
[cheers and applause]
Are you sure you wanna do this?
- 100% we wanna do this.
I really trust my life on their hands 100%.
- All right, good luck. - Let's go.
- Good luck.
[dramatic music]
[siren whoops]
* *
- You see what they're doing right now though.
He can't even crawl up the landing.
It's so slippery. - 'Cause of humidity.
- No, no, no. - The humidity is--it's...
- I-I-I could feel it.
- It changes everything.
So if they do any tricks where the bikes are sideways,
if they land, it just washes right off from under them.
I mean, so they got--they got the--the towels up there,
but it--it gets wet so quick, you know?
- Oh, man, you gotta think about every little thing.
[motorcycle revs]
- Yeah, you can see the tension.
- Yeah.
- He's like, "Dude, it's slippery."
- No, no, no, we gonna go because [indistinct].
We better go.
- It's like, yeah, I know. It's time to go.
- But it's time to go, right? Yeah.
[motorcycle revving]
- Here we go. - Whoo!
- Oh.
[motorcycles revving]
- Here they go, cage of death.
Oh, my God!
[laughs]
I'm loving it already.
This is nuts!
- That is awesome.
- Whoo! - Whoo!
* *
- [bleep].
- There they go again.
Yo!
- Yeah!
* *
- Oh, he's going into the cage.
He's going to stand in the cage.
No. No.
* *
[motorcycle revving]
- Yeah!
[dramatic music]
[cheers and applause]
- Oh, he's going into the cage.
* *
He's going to stand in the cage.
No. No.
Oh!
Look at this man.
Ah! [laughs]
[cheers and applause]
Here we go.
* *
Ah! - Yeah!
[wild cheering]
- All right.
- Unbelievable.
- Here comes another bike.
Another bike. [laughs]
- Whoo!
- * Some legends are told, some turn to dust *
- Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. Here they go.
Now there are three in the cage.
Three motorcycles.
[Fall Out Boy's "Centuries"]
- One guy falls, they all fall.
- * Is all it would take * - Oh.
- * Go down in history *
- Oh! [laughs]
Oh, my God!
No! Oh!
Oh! Oh!
- * Remember me for centuries *
- Jesus. - Whoa.

[cheers and applause]
- Yeah.
- Come on! - Yes!
- All right, yeah!
Yeah! [laughs]
Oh. [grunting]
- 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 tell you.
[cheers and applause]
- Give it up!
- Unbelievable.
- Dude.
- * Remember me for centuries *
* *
* 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. [laughter]
That was one of the most incredible things
I've ever seen in my life.
- Yes. - I mean, seriously.
- Whoo. - 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. - * Turn me loose *
- It started off fast. It was like absolutely pinned.
The entertainment factor was awesome.
And then a kiss of death in the backflip,
huge, pulling it at the last second.
[wild cheering] - Yes.
- Whoo. - 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 for that.
- Wait, 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?
- Ahh!
- Whoo.
- I wanna 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,
is--is the definition of what this show is.
I'm giving you the Golden Buzzer, my man.
- Oh! - Yes!
- * Start me up, open my eyes *
* Turn me loose and you'll see why *
* I was born, born ready *
* Staring up the pressure *
- This is what we meant.
- * I won't quit not backing down *
* I was born, born ready *
- Whoo!
- You are amazing. Yes.
* *
Alfredo and The Cage Riders are going right to the finale.
[cheers and applause]
- Cool. - Come here, man. I love you.
I love you. [laughs]
- Thank you so much.
- * Born ready *
* I was born ready *
- That was cool, right?
- Hey, Daddy. I did it. Golden Buzzer.
- Yeah! Congratulations.
- Yeah. I love you, Daddy.
- * I was born ready *
