Tampa Bay Stunt
A.W.B. Int. Freelance Photography
Welcome to my page, take the time out and check it out!

Everything begun with Steve Trotters Idea  Steve is pretty active I must say and lucky to survive all his neck-breaking Stunts. Just to name a few Niagara Falls in a Barrel twice once single in 1985 the second with a Woman together on Fathers-day in 1995. The San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge, the George Washington Bridge, also the Mount Hope Bridge and the Newport Bridge in NY, all of them are Pendulum-swings who Steve Trotter also is the founder of. The Idea is to connect a cable somehow to some object grab this cable go to the furthest point away from the anchor and swing like a pendulum. What a rush…

Trotter and Justin Porter and Glen Rohm tried the Tampa Skyway in 1990 for the first time. 
He wanted to break a world-record something never done before. Five People on a single Cable swinging from the Tampa Skyway more than 200 feet high rushing down with 65/mph in a freefall till the Cable stretches and you swing back and forth.

Sounded great to me so I went along to keep this on Still Photos for the record. There was also a Video-crew on the bridge and one Helicopter to get it all on Video. It's been seen many times on TV like talk-shows, Insight Edition, Mary Powich Show, When Stunts go bad, Dateline and many more.
