Practice the stunts in your home or apartment and videotape them and send them to important people.

LANGLEY IN MOTION

Interview with former resident Pierre Lachance...
King of Wood Automotive Crafts
You name it and Designer/Craftsman Pierre Lachance
will build it!
“I’ve been designing and carving wood models for 35 years” state Pierre.
“My handcrafted wooden models range from miniature cars
to full-scale
motorcycles.
“I preserve past and present elite stunt driver’s legacys online at
www.autothrillshows.com I’ve been building models for them including
Jumper Evel Knievel’s XR750 wooden Harley stunt bike that was build with
His permission. My dad Bobby Chance, worked for Evel in the 70’s.
I’ve also built the only official Vancouver Molson Indy wooden Firestone
Firehawk replica model.
“I always had a passion for automotive things, crafting my vehicles out of oak,
alder and black walnut, etc.
“Whether it’s a boxy jalopy, a sleek and aerodynamic sports car, or a Chevy
with oversized fins, I approach each piece with equal enthusiasm.
“Every year, I hand-craft wooden toys and donate
several of my pieces to
Children’s hospitals
“I don’t carve for money, but rather, as a labour of love. This is also great
therapy for me since my accident, when I was hit by a car at the age of seven.
“I have an entirely different and aesthetic vision: I transform the metal
sculpted lines of vehicles into the warm radiance of wood.
“ I’ve parlayed my love of constructing vehicles into an art form, and have
been winning raves at past shows from automotive enthusiasts.
“As for Evel Knievel’s wood model, I’m almost done and proudly plan to
display my hand-crafted wooden classics at Harrison Hot Springs Beach
for public to view for free.

Only wood used to build his bikes

By Mike Chouinard / Chilliwack Times Newspaper Canada

For Pierre Lachance, making cars and other replica vehicles from wood is a true labour of love.

The Agassiz wood sculptor has been doing it for about 35 years, not so much as a way of earning his keep but more as an honour to competitors on the stunt driver circuit. It's in his roots, after all, as his father worked in the circuit. The creations often end up as gifts, with some going to places like the Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children in Vancouver.

Recently, he had a display set up inside the Agassiz Library to show off a few of his pieces: two stretch limousines and a replica Molson Indy car.

"For 35 years I've been doing this," he says.

His big project right now is a version of the legendary Evel Knievel's Harley Davidson XR 750.

"It all comes apart like a big, huge puzzle, like a real bike," he says. "The whole thing can be picked up in one piece....Everything locks into place."

The Knievel project is a real labour of love, as Lachance's dad did some work for the famed daredevil back in the 1970s. He is able to zero in on the details because of his intricate knowledge of his subjects, plus the odd picture as a guide. The Knievel bike is based on the the rider's model from 1972 to 1977.

"I'm building this thing strictly off photographs," he says.

Virtually all the pieces are made of wood, even the shocks and sprockets, and the replica gas tank that slides into place is solid oak. Lachance is approaching the end of the job, but he still needs to put in some finishing touches.

"I've got approximately 125 hours into it," he says.

w For more information see Lachance's website at www.stuntdrivers.net

getting started -- Nathan Herman, 12:30:04 02/10/04 Tue

how do you go about gaining the required skills to do stunts for movies, and how do you go about getting a job to build experience and reputation in the field. Is it ever to late to start?

All I can tell ya is, If you want to be a stuntman, Go to school,but being good at sports doesn't mean anything! I could beat the best players on all our teams at thier own sport, besides basketball, because of my hight, but then again I was starting pointguard try some crazy things like riding a fourwheeler on it's two side wheels doing ninty miles per hour, or try doing a double flip off a three story high hotel room deck into a pool! If I sat here and told you all the crazy things I've done you would be reading a 400 page book.I've ben hurt plenty of times but i've never broke any bone in my body,thats where the cordination comes in, anybody can be good at sports but not many have the balls to do anything they put thier minds to, And i thing thats what a STUNTMAN is all about.
