​Troy Hartman | Aerial Stuntman

Troy Hartman is credited with undisputedly the largest variety of grand scale aerial stunts performed by any stuntman. He started his career in the early 90’s as a pioneer of the sport of Skysurfing, earning an X-Games World Champion title along the way. This opened the door to Hollywood stunt work, and at the turn of the century Troy found himself hosting the hit MTV show “Senseless Acts of Video.” Here he performed over 40 stunts, most of which had never been done before. With his aerial achievements etched in history, you have no doubt seen or heard of Troy’s work.
