When your father has jumped monster trucks through burning double-decker buses and wheelied down, and back up, Baldwin St, it would be hard not to want to follow in his footsteps.
Tyrin Soanes, son of Cardrona motor stuntman Ian Soanes, is doing just that.
With Cardrona Adventure Park as his playground, Tyrin trains for "hours each day" to learn and perfect new stunts.
The 13-year-old started riding quad bikes when he was 3 years old and was soon jumping over people.
Racing the bikes soon followed and he was making 18m jumps and riding with no hands by the time he was 10.
He recently perfected driving on two wheels, becoming the youngest person by eight years to nail the trick.
"I was so happy, and once I got it, I started getting my mate to start climbing out the window," Tyrin said.
Mr Soanes said it took about 300 hours of practice to learn the stunt because "boys can't concentrate for a long time".
"When you drive a car on its side, you can't stop concentrating for one second," he said.
The pair wowed the crowds at the Otago-Taieri A and P Show on Saturday with the stunt, and many more.
It was the first time they had been to the show and hoped to perform at more public events in the future.
The next stunts Tyrin wanted to learn were reverse wheelies, and performing wheelies while sitting backwards on the bike.
But he did not want to stop there.
"I want to follow in [my father's] footsteps - get up there and get into the monster trucks and hit it like he does," he said.
Otago Taieri Agricultural and Pastoral Society secretary Fiona Smeaton said the pair were a stand-out attraction at the event, along with Craig Smith, of Wonky Donkey fame.
About 5000 people enjoyed the food, music, games, animals and eventing on offer.
"I think it's been one of the biggest crowds we've ever had," she said.
