Stunt-woman Rachel Star Withers is giving Johnny Knoxville a run for his money by completing crazy stunts and pushing the boundaries of acceptable behaviour. The 29-year-old, of Indian Land, South Carolina, USA, says: ‘Doing stunts is an excuse for me to push my limits and find out what is possible. ‘I'm the kind of person who sees someone do something cool and then I want to do it too.
