ATLANTA, Georgia — Borne Freestyle Entertainment is excited to announce that Discovery Channel will feature Pro-Athlete Streetbike Freestyler, Josh Borne, on Ultimate Car Build Off on July 19 & 26, 2010 at 9 p.m.

Josh Borne had the unique opportunity to provide Discovery Channel engineering advice on a colossal wheelie machine build when two Detroit garages, Monkeywrench Racing and Voodoo Choppers, went head to head for a one-of-a-kind build off challenge.

Borne used his engineering background and experience from Kettering University and General Motors to help contestants create the ultimate machine. Monkeywrench Racing and Voodoo Choppers were tasked with merging two motorcycles into a single four-wheeled vehicle in an effort to win $100,000. The garages goal: to wheelie the longest distance down Michigan’s historic Grosse IIe Municipal Airport runway. Training for this task took place on beautiful Belle Isle in Detroit, Michigan. Of course protective gear was generously provided to the hosts and contestants by Josh Borne’s sponsor, Scorpion Sports Inc.

Not only was Borne Discovery Channel’s expert in the garages, but he also taught hosts, Andrew Comrie-Picard a.k.a. ACP (X-Games Pro-Rally Racer) and Lou Santiago (Top Hot Rod Fabricator), the basics of pro-streetbike freestyle. “Streetbike Freestyle is amazing. Learning under Josh Borne was a great experience. I can’t wait to learn how to stoppie next.” remarked ACP. Lou Santiago stated, “I was surprised at how much talent and balance it takes. It was great learning from Josh Borne.”

World renowned fabricator and car designer Chip Foose flew in for the finale and judged the competition. Foose was fully impressed with Borne’s technical grasp of the extreme sport. He commended the professionalism of the sport and complimented Borne on his freestyle abilities.

If you like out of this world fabricated cars, hot rod garages and colossal machines, you do not want to miss an episode of this amazing show. Tune in on Mondays, at 9 p.m., on Discovery Channel and be sure to watch Pro-Athlete Streetbike Freestyler, Josh Borne on July 19 & 26, 2010, at 9 p.m.
