Stryker

Stryker is a DJ for Crash FM in Burnout 3: Takedown. Players hear him through the World Tour and he is voiced by Gary Ramón Sandorf, who hosts Los Angeles' KROQ 106.7 FM under the same air name "Stryker". He also hosted several shows including the short-lived Spike TV series The Ultimate Gamer, where Burnout 3: Takedown was mentioned in the 2004 Videogame Awards Special.

However, the DJ is only known as Stryker in the English release of Burnout 3: Takedown. Crash FM is hosted in French by DJ Starman, in German by DJ Blackpearl and in Spanish by DJ Arturo.
