Robert Marley, son of legendary reggae icon Bob Marley, and eight other popular motorcycle riders from the United States are on Saipan to display their daring stunts in a show that will be held on Middle Road, Puerto Rico on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Triple J Motors and several companies teamed up with Saipan\u2019s Ride 2 Cure Organization to organize the event, dubbed as the Ride 2 Cure Motorcycle Stunt show.<\/p>\n
Proceeds generated from the event would benefit Saipan\u2019s American Cancer Society, Diabetes Coalition, and the Northern Marianas College, according to Ride 2 Cure president James Wallace.<\/p>\n
The 32-year-old Marley said he started doing motorcycle stunts in 1996. \u201cI\u2019ve been riding bicycles since I was 2. It\u2019s just a change of bike with motor,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cSaipan reminds me a lot of home\u2014Jamaica,\u201d Marley said. \u201cThe scenery is great.\u201d<\/p>\n
Steve Spong and Allie Fountain, known as the It Takes 2 Freestyle, have appeared on MTV and the Speed Channel, displaying their tandem stunts.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s [the show] nothing you\u2019ve ever seen before\u2014crazy, bikes going everywhere!\u201d said Spong. Fountain is the only female rider in the show.<\/p>\n
The riders also include Kyle Woods, Aaron and Jacob Brunelle, Joe Dryden, Brenstan Clarke, and \u201cSly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yesterday, they assembled at the Triple J Motors on Beach Road, Gualo Rai for autograph signing, to the delight of motorists and kids. \u201cI\u2019m going to put this in my room,\u201d said 11-year-old Eddie Manalili, after getting autographs from some of the riders.<\/p>\n
Saturday\u2019s stunt show will be from 9am to 6pm in Puerto Rico. Tickets are available at any Shell gas station for $5 each.<\/p>\n
