Hellions ODB 130, ODA 133 and ODA 153 met for a full day of fliming by Lion TV, a professional production company developing a program called MegaDrive set to air on MTV this spring. MegaDrive is hosted by stand-up comic Johnny Pemberton who gets "the keys to some of the most extreme vehicles on the planet." The Hellions' tank, the Grindhouse, will be the focus of one of the episodes. LionTV chose the team's home field, CPX Sports, as the backdrop of the show.
Despite temperaturs in the lower 30's and light snowfall, the Hellions were out in force to demonstrate the awesome power of the Grindhouse. Filming lasted from 0800 until well after sunset. The team does not want to give away the details of the show. Everyone should stay tuned to MTV in the coming months to see the finished product. Hellions in attendance were: Buckshot, D-Mac, Firefly, Giggles, Grendel, Honu, Hulk, Kash, Kevlar, Sky, Splathappy, and Warthog. Guests included: Adder, Glenn and HeavyDuty.
A selection of photos from the event is available for viewing in the Gallery.
