Versatile stunt ace Riky proves he's no fall guy
10/07/2008
STUNTMAN Riky Ash has performed more than 1,000 daredevil antics and acted as a body-double for 150 actors in films such as Sleepy Hollow and This Is England.
And yesterday, he played the role of Indiana Jones to entertain children at the National Forest Maize Maze.
Riky fell 6ft off a platform into a pile of cardboard boxes and was chased through the maze by children from Rangemore Primary School.
The Maze, at Postern House Farm, Tatenhill, opens at noon on Saturday when Riky, who has a place in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's most versatile stuntman, recreates stunts he has performed. He explained: “Recently, I was acting as a stunt double for the comedy actor Ralf Little and now here I am being chased in the rain through a field made of maize.”
