Joel Fernandes, a call centre employee who joins the group after his work told coastaldigest.com that he has been doing stunts since college days and got into touch with some enthusiast friends to form a team. "Today the group is being invited by people at various events to stage stunts," he says.

Half old school, wheelies, stopper, circle wheelie, high chair stoppies, human compass, chainsaw, burn out Christ and other are the favourite stunts among our group members, says Joel adding that there are large number of youth who are learning stunts from the group.

Inspired by MTV Roadies, joel, Merwyn, Aaron, Stalin and Kalandar came together to form the group.
