Who cared about the heat? That seemed to be the reaction of the crowds gathered for the Pulsar MTV Stuntmania Roackathon. Breathtaking stunts and thumping rock make an unbeatable combination, and Chennaiites turned up by the hundreds at Royapettah YMCA grounds on Saturday. The excitement began in the afternoon, with Playstation gaming and Paintball kickstarting the event. Chennai Live fuelled the spirits with their RJs playing games and giving away merchandise. The beat box was thoroughly enjoyed, ending with a girl learning to make the beat sounds and surprising everybody!

The rockathon showcased some good local talent beginning with Bonfire Collective. Molotov Cocktail and JunkYard Groove built up the frenzy and Roxygen had them raring for more! And the stage was set for the biggest rock band in the country. Parikrama lived up to all expectations, and with the Ghost Ryderz doing their wheelies and spins; Chennai experienced a unique, thrilling and rocking evening!

The event which has been drawing crowds at other cities like Shillong, Delhi and Pune, finally made its stop at Chennai much to the excitement of the city's bike and rock fanatics.
