Gary Rothwell is widely recognized as the man who launched the American sportbiker's current love affair with wheelies, stoppies and burnouts. From the streets of Cannery Row in Monterey, California, to the high banks of Daytona International Speedway, this straight-talking Brit and his wife, Joan, brought their "Wonder Wheels" motorcycle stunt show to the masses while the streetbike extreme scene was just gestating in the mid-1990s. It was these shows, not to mention Rothwell's seminal stunt video, Showtime, that directly inspired the Starboyz, Todd Colbert and countless other American riders to begin practicing the craft.
