Launch Gallery »Earlier this month, Fuel TV premiered the new adventure travel show Strangers in Danger, starring BMXers Mike 'Rooftop' Escamilla and Zack 'Catfish' Yankush.' The show, which airs on Tuesday nights and features the duo eating bizarre foods and getting punched in foreign countries, is generating buzz both in and out of the BMX community. And because of that buzz, we decided now would be a good time to examine the various ways that other BMXers have made the jump from riding into television. Starting with Chad Degroot's appearance on The Jerry Springer show and ending with Strangers in Danger, this is a small sampling of BMXers turned TV personalities. Enjoy.
