A few motorcyle jumpers. Also the local track would do a penny toss for kids.
I think the guy that jumped the car on roller blades was Tricky Truesdale, from Kentucky. His dad drove the car that pulled him. Saw him at Kalamazoo. I heard later he got $500 bucks for it. Oh yea, he already had his arm in a cast. This was in the 70's.
