I stunt motorcycles
And live in Southern France
Creating & following my bliss at the same time.

Street Romper

By Leah Petersen December 12, 2011

Since Ant has been spending a lot of time at the office I picked up a little CBR to hit the streets with. I am pretty excited to get some training in on a new bike - versatility helps make a well-rounded stunter!

Since the bike is lighter than the 636 I feel more comfortable training solo - if I got stuck under the bike I could lift it off myself, etc. Also a little less power greatly reduces the chances of epic wrecks that might maim me too much to make it home. 

I am sure I will be updating you with new street adventures and hopefully some sweet new skills :) Check the pics of me geared up and also my fancy "keyless" gas cap - which amazingly doesn't leak.

Who's under the helmet?

More than just a blonde haired, American girl..

By now you know my name is Leah and I stunt motorcycles, so let me tell you some things you don’t know about me. I grew up riding horses on a farm in the Pacific Northwest and moved to New York when I was 17. I am in love with New York City and my Italian Greyhound, Venus; I can’t live without apples and I absolutely must Q-tip my ears after every shower.

I am a sportbike freestyle rider and freelance writer/photographer. I also run and co-own Stuntbums.com, a media platform developed to unite the global sportbike freestyle community.

If you need a motorcycle stuntwoman, or a writer/photographer with a voice and perspective unlike any other, I am your girl.

Write me a message.
I love to read.

Book me! I am available for stunt shows in addition to writing, photography and video work. Feel free to inquire about rates and availability.
