  • Everyone in the audience died of carbon monoxide shortly after... :]

  • was he greek?

  • Such antics today would be shown with distorted power chords in the background

  • I had the pleasure of meeting this fellow at Lake Sugar Tree MX track in Axton Va in the late 70's he was a stand up fellow never to busy to talk to anyone he loved his audience and the moto-X community loved him! R.I.P Doug!

  • RIP

  • There had to be a ramp on the back of that car.

  • Fuck yea doug!!!!! fuck all those bitches that get in your way!!!!!!!!!!

  • kdx what ,sweet vid.

  • THIS GUY INVENTED STUNTING lol what a mad fella

  • fuck the nay-sayer's! this man is a legend and a hero!

  • The two cars that move in the way are obviously staged. Seriously, people.

  • @miltimj no shit sherlock

  • That's weird that he ran a motor on his front wheel to keep it spinning all the time. Cool video.

  • When the front whel spins it has more of a gyroscopic effect. It makes it easier to steer basically.

  • nice job but i would be mad ass hell about my roof

  • Wow he dented the shit out of that roof of that last car.

  • balls! I have his book, it's really nice, and the cheezy factor aint Doug's fault, this show " that's incredible" was such a piece of shit...i went on a jr. high field trip to watch a taping of it.

  • I just watched again and couldn't help but ad more to my previous comment. Coming down the hill he "suddenly" runs into 2 car obstacles, LOL. The 2nd is my favorite, ala CHiPs special effects, ramp almost out of screen, but not quite, LOL. Don't get me wrong, he was the KING :). Just a little cheesy with the 2 car set up coming back down.

  • yea but what do expect everything was cheesy like this in the 80s :)

  • I remember the guy you are talking about. I also grew up in san francisco. The guys name was Rick Figari. he was friends with my neighbor. He did amazing things on a yamaha and a honda, (actually any bike). one of the best i ever saw. Back then, nobody was doing wheelies like that.

  • sweet

  • Doug was a great guy, a good friend for over twenty years who died in a fatal ultralight accident a few years ago. He never had to practice his wheelies. Doug just did it. He had a real gift. Those who knew him really miss him.

  • Thats the pioneer of bike stunts today, :) Deffently set a new era of limits for bikes. even to this day there still is people that are pros that cant beat him

  • Comment removed

  • i agree, he really is the wheelie king...

  • Inspired me when I was a kid...would love to see him on the Z13 like in his book !... he was simply "THE BEST !"
