Pulsar MTV Stunt Mania

Thursday, December 17, 2009

Bikes... define a cause. The cause which can be anything from commuting to sheer passion. Whatever it be, riding a motorcycle takes you to a different high. The more you ride, the more you want to do it again.


Put a Dodge Viper engine on two Bridgestone tyres with an array of sophisticated circuits, throw in loads of Nitrox and give it in the hands of a maniac. What do you get? A mean machine that can easily put the Ferrari Enzo to shame, the pumping of adrenalin and the smell of burnt rubber. You get Stunt biking!

Mood Indigo bings you a team of young biking enthusiasts who call themselves "The Ghost Ryderz". Feel the wind on your face, take in the sense of freedom, hear the footpegs scraping the road...

Chris Korn

Extreme Korn, Radical Korn, and those are just a few words that people use to describe the sheer brilliance of his tricks. When Chris Korn performs, seeing is disbelieving. And that's just where the fun begins. If you were lucky enough to meet him when he last came to India a few years ago as part of the hit TV show “Mondo Magic” on AXN , you needn’t be told of his mastery of the sleight of hand or his ability to dumbfound and leave even the staunchest of disbelievers speechless.
He has brought the art of street magic to a totally different level with his brilliant and amazing tricks, he has astonished the people of over 3 continents and godknows how many more who watch him on television. If you missed him in India then, then get set for this, Chris is coming to Mood Indigo this year, that’s right he is coming to Mood Indigo to do what he does best bamboozle the audience with his magic tricks, where the only word that will come out of your mouth is “A-M-A-Z-I-N-G”. 

He’s a true master of his trade and when you meet him be prepared for one of the most incredible, dumbfounding experiences of your lifetime. You might try to figure out how he does it, you’ll think but never get it but don’t worry this is how he has left everyone who has met him.

Where will you find him in those 4 days of Mood Indigo? Anywhere, he’ll catch you when you are least expecting it, so we suggest be prepared, but do come and experience the magic.
