I remember watching him as a child, he was the best stuntman of his day, and I doubt many could live up to him even with today's bikes. RIP

Well, he certainly lived his life. Massive balls or just a lack of imagination.

The sight of his body shattering when he hit the deck at Ceaser's Palace will always be with me.

Technically one of the worst stuntmen that ever lived, noted mostly for attempting the impossible and failing. Can't fault the guy, balls of steel, and a sense of showmanship that overpowered the fear that an ordinary man would have felt. God fucking bless him. Thumbs Up

If you were to ask anyone in the street to name a famous motorcyclist
it would be him.

Man, that was just after he settled his lawsuit with Kanye West as well. Legend seeing his jumps. No wonder they're often parodied!

I must have bought about a million Stunt Cycles as a kid(because the build quality was so crappy), so hopefully he would at some point have had a drink from me.
