Now I know you don’t normally do this but…Was wondering could you give us a mention or shout out on your page.We’re Stunt Register Ireland – an emerging Stunt Organisation whose members have been featured in 2 Seasons of Vikings so far with Season 3 just kicking off. I myself have been part of the core stunt team alongside Coordinator Franklin Henson,  Asst Coordinator Richard Ryan and Paul Burke since its inception. We’ve really been kicking a** and taking names. I’ve attached 2 videos for you to have a look at which we coordinated, rigged, performed, shot and edited. Hope you like ’em…

G’wan the burning men!
