thinking about taking the initiative by moving to LA to be stuntman. Got a few questions first:
>Has anyone had experience with stunting?
>Which school/camp is the best to go to?
>Any advice for aspiring stuntmen?

have no regard for your own personal wellbeing and be willing to get severely disabled for middling pay
Get used to being addicted to pain medications and learn to suck dick.

>I'm gonna get a job where I do dangerous shit and hope nothing truly bad happens
Badass OP, make sure to get a tattoo after your first spinal fluid leak
Do you have any skills?

>>Any advice for aspiring stuntmen?
Yeah, get a job that won't become obsolete within the next 10 years due to screen screen, CGI, and actors insisting on doing their own "stunts".
Who knows, maybe you'll get lucky and get a part in a Mad Max movie.

I can fall hard without hurting myself due to years of skating.
I dont bruise/scar easily.
I can take a punch to the nose pretty well.
my body can tolerate a lot of pain at once.
My friend and his mom are both stuntman. His mom was the lady that did the stunt in the first Fast and Furious where the car drives under the big rig.
Basically, you have to get a foothold in extreme sports. Be good at skating, dirt biking, rally racing, etc, get your foot in the door with some competitions, then start applying at stunt agencies when you have a portfolio.

classic
Stuntmen get paid to get injured on behalf of the main actors so they can keep shooting if there's an accident.
Remember what happened to Mila Jovovich s stunt double? How would you like to have your face 'degloved'?
Join the union as a gaffer or something they make way better pay
