The first Golden Buzzer in the third episode of 'AGT: Extreme' went to certain Cyndel Flores, who not just shed her fear of heights climbing a slippery 60-foot sway pole, but also did a few acrobatics while on top. The end result was Travis Pastrana slamming the golden buzzer sending her to the finals. The stunt was one of the more intense acts of the evening and came as a welcome respite after Chloe Chambers' surprising go-ahead.

What shocked the audience was when Travis hit the golden buzzer even before Simon Cowell could share his thoughts on the stunt. "#AGT #AGTExtreme #TravisPastrama couldnt say YES to race car driver Chloe cuz he did no homework & had nothing to compare to, but very next gig was Cyndel & her Sway Pole. He had zero clue what was gonna happen, but again having nothing to compare, stole Simon's Golden Buzzer? 👎🏻" one of the tweets read.

Who is Cyndela Flores?

The stuntwoman from Florida lists herself as an "Only BreakAway Swaypole Artist😈 Female Globe of Death Rider 🌐 and #daredevildiva #globeofdeath" one her Instagram profile Daughter of a mother who was a daredevil and a sway pole artist herself, Flores tested her limits on what could rightly be called the more ruthless stages on the world. The rain just made her task more challenging and that there was no safety net or a harness that would catch her made her stunt more extreme.

Flores appears to enjoy performing stunts just for kicks. A quick look at her social media profiles shows she's keen to try out new stunts and one of them was the globe of death. There are quite a few clips on her IG profile that show her ace the stunt without breaking into a sweat. She will next be seen in the finale.
