  • With more than 50 years of stunt driving experience and more than 100 credits in film and television, Rick Seaman is considered a legend in the stunt driving community. Now retired, Seaman teaches the next generation the ins and outs of stunt driving at Rick Seaman’s East Stunt Driving School, a three-day course held at Wall Stadium Speedway in Wall, New Jersey. Students learn and practice a variety of stunt driving techniques including skid turns, flying 90s, 180-degree slides (both forwards and backwards), and multi-car interactions. Participants in the class range from professional stunt drivers looking for more experience to stunt performers and actors hoping to add to their repertoire of skills. We followed a group of students participating in the driving school in May as they attempted to execute a host of stunt driving techniques commonly featured in film and TV today.
    Stunts were performed under supervision of professionals and should not be attempted by amateurs.
    00:00 - Intro
    2:05 - Stunt driving basics
    4:30 - 180° slides
    6:36 - Skid turns
    7:36 - Reverse 180° slides
    9:05 - Chase scenes
    12:04 - “Jam car”

    Please keep in mind this class is designed to give potential stunt drivers some basic skill sets to build upon. One thing the editors left out was how many times I stressed this in the interviews. Taking this class does NOT make you a stunt driver- It only introduces you to the side of the business with these particular cars, with this particular set up and this particular geography. It is then up to a student to pursue honing these skills in different cars, different scenarios and every variable one can think of -over and over and over again- in order to start actually becoming close to a professional stunt driver. It is a very dangerous occupation- One that not only requires great skill, but also an enormous amount of trust and adaptability when screeching a ~4000lb vehicle toward a group of crew and actors on a production. This is an awesome start to one’s stunt driving career- It is in no way, shape or form an exhaustive class- That is up to the individual as to how far they want to go…

    I'm not a Stunt Driver but I would definitely enjoy a class like this. I am pretty confident with most of these skills as I grew up having some pretty good roads to practice on out in the country. Although I'm more comfortable on gravel then I am on pavement as I grew up backroading on gravel roads. That's the nice thing about living in the country is that it's easy to find a road to have fun on with just you and your buddies. Which keeps other people out of danger and more importantly keeps the cops off of you because no one else is out there. Although sometimes I can't help myself when in the city and I'll weave in and out of cars on the interstate or if I'm in a hurry. I have never had a wreck and have done some pretty crazy s*** but anyways it would be nice to take a class like this just to be a little more precise
