Hundreds of adrenaline junkies are expected to descend on Ames for the ISU Motorcycle Club’s stunt bash this weekend.

The club is hosting Stunt Bash 2005 on Saturday in parking lot S4 at Jack Trice Stadium, on the corner of Elwood Drive and 16th Street. The stunt show will be held from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m.

“It’s going to be something that people have never seen before,” said Doug Beck, faculty adviser for the motorcycle club. “It’s something that doesn’t happen in Ames, Iowa. It’s amazing what these people can do on motorcycles.”

Steven Schreiber, president of the club, said they are expecting nearly 500 spectators and 15 professional riders.

“We’re just a bunch of adrenaline junkies looking for a good time,” said Schreiber, senior in electrical engineering.

The stunt bash is planned to feature performers from motorcycle clubs across Iowa in addition to the ISU club. Schreiber said the clubs will be doing many motorcycle tricks including wheelies, high-chair wheelies, stoppies, high chair-stoppies, run outs and circle wheelies.

The event is free and everyone is welcome to attend. There will be a DJ present to make announcements and mix tunes on a turntable.

Bill Cran, member of the ISU Motorcycle Club, said a safe environment is a big concern. A police officer will be present and all the stunts will be performed in a controlled environment.

“You want to put out a good image of the club and represent the community in a positive image,” Cran said. “It’s going to be a blast; some of the stuff the guys can do is crazy, especially since it’s going to be in a parking lot — a controlled, safe environment. Treat it like a tailgate — bring your friends.”

Schreiber said the main reason the motorcycle club, which has 23 members, hosts the show is to recruit new members.

Cran said the show will bring the motorcycle club — and the sport in general — into the public eye.

Last year, the club visited a racetrack, saw a motorcycle show in Minnesota and attended a motorcycle race in California. Membership dues for the club are $30 for students and $40 for the public.

“We’re hoping to get more things like this for students,” Beck said. “Even if they don’t ride motorcycles, it’s something incredible to see.”
