Joogsquad each performed one stunt during their “AGT: Extreme” audition. Scummy set his cape on fire and dove into a kiddie pool. Subsequently, a fully clothed Edwin jumped onto trampolines blanketed with mouse traps and LEGO blocks. It was the final performer, Jack, who delivered the audition’s most crowd-pleasing stunt.
Jack successfully rode a Skimboard across a pool of fire. The feat earned a standing ovation from the live crowd and host Terry Crews.
Judges Nikki Bella and Simon Cowell were lukewarm on the audition, particularly the first two stunts, but Joogsquad got the thumbs up courtesy of the closing number and their infectious personalities.
