He did all his own stunts in the movie except for that one. The fence jump was done by a stuntman called Bud Ekins.
If you are lucky enough to get onto the Santa Paula Airport, I highly recommend trying to get into this hanger for a tour. No pics allowed from inside, but it is AMAZING. Still loaded with Steve McQueen's stuff. Family still owns it. The green matches the truck for a reason.
He had 3 hangers in a row, backing up to the 126. I spent many years hanging out with him as a kid during summer. I lived with my grand parents for awhile...
Steve McQueen had 2 hangers on the east side (end of runway, I am 90% sure the same ones in pics) I spent a lot of time driving my golf cart around the airport, I had a loop that went behind Steve’s hanger, I’d stop and say hi to the cool guy, little did I know who he was. Lol
John Travolta had a hanger a few down from my grampas, back when he was normal. Lol
My uncle flew with him (John) daily, to get his flying hours logged to get his license.
Small world, but I ended up working with him on the movie Grease, years later. Good times...
Bud was a legend, JN Roberts is my buddy’s dad and I have a lot of stunt friends, but never knew about his hangers being still owned by family, that’s rad !
I’m going to take a drive out and check it out this weekend. Thanks for posting that !!

Thanks. I’ve had a good life, been fortunate to have the life connections I have. I’m grateful for my friendships and try not to take them for granted. Moto has been my life since a very young age, I’ll ride until I can’t get my leg over the seat. Lol
Thanks for taking the time to post something positive. It’s been a long week back to work and it’s been rough with wearing a mask all day and all of the new rules in the motion picture industry. Anything positive is a welcome to me.
McQueen's last/this hanger backs up to the 126 at the south end of the runway.
Spotted this beauty a few years back.
In times like these, it’s just a real kick ass reprieve to be able to come here and feel a sense of camaraderie with some fellow moto dudes. I’m gonna go wrench on my huskies and figure out which one of your 500’s I need to buy.
they use to hold air shows there often, I rode in a bi-plane with the guy next to us and he would do barrel rolls and different stalls, etc. I threw up EVERY time I went. Hahaha
Thank God for the barf bags that peel and stick to your face. I can’t believe that he’s keep taking me, I did it every time.
I’m gunna load my van and go ride the track tomorrow, after a 4 month break. Crashed and re-injured my neck in April and it’s time to get back on the horse
Have a great weekend
This bi-plane?
My grampa has a white Navion 2-seater that had Stars and Stripes 🇺🇸
He was raised in Arkansas, pretty much a red neck that made it. He owned 2 blocks of Ventura with his steel shop (Strong Steel) they just tire it down last year. Corner of the avenue and Thompson. Down the street from the courthouse. Made millions and lived a great life. Too bad my Grandma gave it all away to my aunts and uncles. Drug attics and alcoholics. Sad
That’s just nuts and I ain’t being controlled by anyone, they can pound sand. It’s bad enough that I have 20- so called Covid specialists running around spying on everyone. It’s like the Narcs that used to work at high school back when I was a kid.
But these so called specialists are young punk kids with ZERO knowledge of the business and they are getting under my skin !
I’m going to retire soon, so I’m just trying to survive for another year or two and pay off my house.
Then I’m OUT !!!
Would a Vitalizer actually buy it?
If so, would it be The Langham’s fault?
Could the buyer “blame him”?
It’ll be pretty expensive, once the dust settles. I’d give them $18K right now, if that was the selling price. I’d even let you ride the bike at ADITD vintage class.
On this thread........rad as hell !
I have 35 years in the industry and it’s gotten progressively worse along the way.
I’m at Sunset Las Palmas studios on Station 19, TV Show. It’s a Walt Disney show, so they are going above and beyond to set an example of compliance.
Pit Row
what goes around comes around and I am rich with friendships. We are all just a group of motoheads with the same hobby/ lifestyles. I’m all pumped up to ride tomorrow, I’m loaded and ready to do work !
I know he was in the movie industry for a bit, not sure now.
From late 70’s speedway, then moto and he worked with me for awhile, before landing the precision driving stuff.
He does a lot of streetbike stuff now a days. He lives by me too...
Rick has not been riding as much as he used to, but he’s got skills on ANY motorcycle/ discipline. Johnny O’Mara used to stay with him a lot, back in the early years. They rode a lot together as kids, but Rick went to speedway and Johnny stuck with moto. They were both studs in their disciplines. Rick was a world champion speedway racer and left his mark. And everyone knows where Johnny ended up. Johnny and Donnie Hansen lived a block from me, when I was growing up, this was in early 80’s. It was amazing what they were doing back then, up in the hills, behind my parents house.
Many racers rode these hills during their careers. Bobby Moore, Mouse McCoy, Mike Kiedrowski, Damon Huffman, Casey Lytle, Kyle Lewis, Willy Surratt, Kenny Zahrt, Eddie Cole even Hannah use to come down from Lancaster to ride Plum canyon. I really miss that part of my life....
