Autor: "Bad Chuck" Roberson, Bodie Theone
Sinopse: This reprint of the now out of print original version has been redesigned with only minor edits, keeping the original humor and adventure of the stories within.
"I grew up on a cattle ranch in Texas and spent most of my waking hours just trying to stay on a horse. Back then if (anyone) had tried to tell me I was going to make a living falling off horses... I would have punched them in the nose."
But Chuck Roberson fell off horses for thirty-years doubling for some of the biggest names in movies- John Wayne, Gregory Peck, Gable, Mitchum and Heston. He and his great horse Cocaine devised a running horse fall that was safe but a spectacular improvement on the cantering lie-down horse fall used before, and together they galloped their way into the Stuntman's Hall of Fame.
When Cocaine finally quit after 27 years before the cameras, Roberson says "his heart wasn't in it anymore". Roberson recalls the highlights of his career in this humorous book.
