Fall Guy

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."e;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."e;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 "e;his heart wasn't in it anymore"e;. Roberson recalls the highlights of his career in this humorous book.
