I don't remember the tree to the right. Of course there are a lot of things I don't remember 40 years ago.
At one time he was one of my favorite riders. back in the day, of course...
I remember watching him really eat it big time at some motel / casino in Vegas. Anyone recall? was that late 60's / early 70's?
He got off the "up" ramp alright. Landing on the "down" ramp didn't go so well.
Over the fountan at cesars palace?

Im too old to remember that.
Both Jr & Sr did the jump in Vegas.
Sr. ended up in the hospital shortly after with numerous broken bones as I recall.
Hey, let's face it. The guy definitely had cajones made of hi-grade stainless steel.
Titanium plated.
