I had the Snake River rocket toy when I was a kid. That dude had a huge set a cajones. He was the man in the 70's.

oh man...the guy inspired me as a kid to jump many thing in the neighborhood. ( big wheels lined up, garbage cans, the creek, people. )
i remember having that small model of him on his motorcycle.( i was like 8 or 9 or something) it fit on this stand you would wind up and release it.
R.I.P. dude.

When you pushed the button that thing would fly across the room and bounce off everything in its path. Took a serious beating. Like the man himself...

He was my hero as a kid! My mom made me an EK costume for Halloween one year. My brother and I had a bunch of the toys/action figures (sky cycle, chopper, regular harley, etc.) with the winder/zip sticks to make them go.

actually, they were playing some audio of him back in the day, & he was saying that if went up to heaven in a white robe, & was sitting on a cold marble slab, & was there with mlk, & jfk & such, he woould have nothing to talk about with these guys. he wanted to go to his heaven where there were alot of ramps & draft beer that didn't make you fat... what a character.
