I had to convince the producer and the director to let me try. With the help of a stunt coordinator, I mastered it and in the scene, I glided in and out like Cleopatra floating down the Nile while the boys on their bicycles toppled over and lost their helmets. They looked like the Keystone Cops and we all never laughed so hard in our lives."
