Jens Romundstad

Jens Romundstad was a contestant on the first Danish "Survivor" in 1998. He originally made a living as a highschoolteacher and soldier, but was offered a career by TVDenmark in 1999, doing a travel documentary series in USA. In "Biker Jens in USA" he rode a Harley Davidson motorcycle from Key West, Florida, to San Francisco, California. During the 3½ months ride, Jens he experienced the extreme as well as the everyday life in the states. With a natural desire for meeting people Jens Romundstad travelled through America with the camera following him in everything from alligator-wrestling to gatecrashing a Ku Klux Klan-meeting. "Biker Jens in USA" became the no. 1 show on TVDenmark in the fall 1999 and he signed a new contract with TVDenmark for two more travel documentary series; one in Thailand/Malaysia/Singapore and one in Australia. "Biker Jens in the far east" and "Biker Jens in Australia" were both filmed and aired in 2000. After driving 45,000 kms on Harley Davidsons within 1½ year, Romundstad started a career as teambuilder but shortly returned to the screen in 2002 as the host of Fear Factor on TV3, filmed in South Africa. He went as a contestant on his second "Survivor" in 2002 and was shortly afterwards sent to Kyrgyzstan with the Royal Danish Airforce to serve in Mission Enduring Freedom. In 2003 he went back to USA for TV3 with a camera crew to film the series "Biker Jens - A Life On The Edge" where he tried on different extreme lifestyles, not only describing but actually living the life as a stunt driver, male stripper, human cannonball, pro wrestler, rodeo cowboy, bullfighter, rapper, freediver and a homeless person. Jens Romundstad was injuried several times during the filming. He was awarded the International Brigit Bardot Genesis Award 2003 for the episode about bullfighting in Mexico.
