Actor and stuntman Pavel Hanzlík was one of the biggest personalities on the domestic motorcycle scene and first drew attention as a driver for the office of President V. Havel. In 1995, Hanzlík decided to devote himself to stunt work as a hobby and began performing breathtaking stunts. After three years, Hanzlík became a professional and also attracted attention with his attempts at speed records in riding on the rear or front wheel or on the rear wheel with a passenger. During exhibition programs, Hanzlík appeared very confident and professional, and even when he demonstrated very aggressive elements of rubbering, skidding or riding on the rear wheel at high speed, he was precise and rode completely without mistakes. "I prefer to ride on the safe side. I know that they may be better than me here today, but I have a family at home and I can no longer afford an accident due to some mistake or while trying out a new element," Hanzlík often explained. It is even more difficult to believe that he, by an unfortunate combination of circumstances, lost control of his motorcycle with minimally warm tires and fell off his two-wheeled steed on the cold, poorly cleaned purpose-built road in the brewery premises during the celebrations of the one-year anniversary of Pardál beer. Hanzlík lost control of his motorcycle while performing a high-speed rear-wheel drive, the motorcycle stopped against an unparked truck, and he himself crashed into the concrete curb and the wall of the operations building when he fell. Although P. Hanzlík no longer showed signs of life when the rescuers arrived, the paramedics tried to bring him back to life for more than twenty minutes. However, they failed to restore his vital functions and P. Hanzlík died on the spot from serious injuries to his chest, limbs, head and spine. Pavel Hanzlík tragically died while performing his profession at the age of 39. Film and television: Pavel Hanzlík was a member of the world-famous film stunt group, Filmka Stunts, and with his specialization in motorcycle riding, he appeared in the entertaining television programs Autosalón; Extrém or Rekordy a kuriozity. In addition to numerous appearances on screen, Hanzlík also appeared as an episodic actor in several foreign or co-produced films, mainly Hollywood productions, which include Hostel II or Hon za svobodou. P. Hanzlík's film credits also include his separate profile medallion called Dream.
