I love the stunt show, but i saw it in Paris first and was disappointed that they missed my favorite bit out of the Floida version. In the Paris one the motorcyclist does a wheelie along the raised side of the bridge, which made for a great photo oppourtunity. Maybe they sometimes do it in Florida, but not on any of the occasions that i saw it there!
