Fire Stuntman Hoodies
Description: During the 1970s, when daredevil stunt shows were all the rage, few spectacles could match the fiery excitement of a motorcycle soaring through the infamous “Flaming Ring of Death.” Popularized by the era’s larger-than-life stunt riders, the stunt involved launching a motorcycle off a ramp and through a towering hoop engulfed in flames, hopefully emerging on the other side with eyebrows intact. Inspired by the death-defying exploits of nationally known riders, motorcycle stuntmen everywhere began incorporating flaming hoops into performances at county fairs, racetracks, and traveling thrill shows across America. The stunt was as much about showmanship as it was about riding skill, roaring engines, and blazing fire!
Description: Devlin is an American cartoon series that ran for 17 episodes from September 7 to December 21, 1974, with reruns airing until September 1976. The series, inspired by the popularity of motorcycle daredevils and stunt shows of the time, focused on a stunt motorcyclist with a traveling circus named Ernie Devlin and his siblings, Tod and Sandy. The original title for the show was Wild Wheels, and the title character was "Dare" Devlin. Concerned about potential criticism that the show glorified dangerous activity, the network nixed the title, changed the character's name to Ernie, and mandated the regular presentation of safety tips.
