“For my next Crash Course, I shall be on the island of Maui, where I will be literally walking on water… as the expert ties to teach me into a pro paddle surfer!”
Don’t miss an all new episode of RICHARD HAMMOND’S CRASH COURSE *** Monday Nov 5 at 10/9c *** following the special TOP GEAR AT THE MOVIES at 9/8c, only on BBC America.
This week, “Hamster” will need upper body strength, a great sense of balance and plenty of sunscreen if he’s to make it as a pro paddle boarder… before he’s off to Hood River, Oregon to compete in the eight-mile down-winder race in the Gorge Paddle Challenge.
Then, Richard travels to small-town Texas to see if he can handle the heat of the rodeo ring. He’ll try to master the fancy footwork of a rodeo clown while being chased by a 1,700-pound bull. “I feel very small and very English!”
He’s back in America… and out of his comfort zone!
In this season of RICHARD HAMMOND’S CRASH COURSE, HAMMOND will immerse himself in uniquely American — and often terrifying! — vocations. In each episode, he’ll tackle new challenges, with less than five days to master each job.
Can he conquer his fear of heights and jump from the top of a bridge as a Hollywood stuntman? Will he lose his grip (and suffer a venomous bite) when he takes on the role of a snake wrangler? From the true grit of a Texas cattle ranch to driving a taxi in New York City, you never know what Richard will tackle next!
Don’t miss as Richard gets to be an American Bullfighter, Barber, Hollywood Stuntman, New York Cab Driver, Pro Paddle Boarder, Cattle Rancher, Bike Messenger, Pit Crew Guy, Stand-up Comedian, Exotic Animal Keeper, “Rocket Scientist” and Snake Wrangler.
