We still ride vintage Harleys of the 30's and 40's. The oldest is a 1930 VL and the newest a 1949 45 CI. There are 74" and 80" VL's, UL's, and 45's, and 61" and 74" Seattle Cossacks Knuckleheads. All bikes are stock except for the Motorcycle Stunt & Drill Team handlebars, which are late- th 50's Flanders, these great 75 Anniversary old bikes are sturdy and stable enough to bear the weight of multiple riders. Prospective riders must be sponsored by a team member and are required to own and maintain their own motorcycles. Attendance at all practice is mandatory. New riders spend one year as rookies, riding in drills and progressing to stunts, at the close of that year they are either voted onto the team or asked to ride another rookie year. Riders possess no special physical characteristics, though some work out to keep in shape. The most important attribute riders need is the ability to control their "iron horses" during performances!

Experience on the current team is extensive and impressive, and contributes much to the group’s cohesiveness. One member has devoted 40 years to the Cossacks; 2 others have over 30 years each and the remainder have 1 to 24 years experience. Current members are from 27 to 78 years old, and the roster has included brothers, as well as fathers and sons. We perform in about 20-30 shows each year, ranging from small town festivals to Worlds Fairs & National Motorcycle Rallies. We plan to entertain and promote a positive image of motorcycling & motorcycle safety for many years to come.

Established 1938 Wherever the Seattle Cossacks ride, people watch and wonder in fascination, waiting for the next man to climb higher. No ropes, no props, no skyhooks, no gimmicks - they just climb. How can they do that on motorcycles? The crowd bursts into cheers and applause as the team glides past . Name Year & Model of Harley Cubic Inch Engine It began in the 1930's with a group of racers and hill climbers Sam Chedester Jr. 1949 WL 45" who developed stunts to entertain themselves between events; entertaining fans came later. The first Jim Wright 1941 EL 61" organizational meeting took place in January 1938 with a group of Seattle racers, riders, delivery personnel, Dave Eady 1941 FL 74" businessmen, and other interested folks. By April they had a formal organization and a set of by-laws that Todd Tressler 1934 VL 74" included "to entertain and promote the positive image of Delon Sandmire 1947 WL 45” motorcycling" (the emphasis on promoting rider safety came later) but what to call themselves? Russia's cavalry Bill Jamison 1941 EL 61" members, the Cossacks, were known the world over for their masterful horsemanship, and bikes were often called "Iron Horses" in those days. Andy Nicholson 1947 FL 74"

Formal practices began and by the end of 1938 the group was well-known in the Seattle area.

Spanky ARMY Bryan Spangler, son of long-time world famous stuntman, Spanky Spangler, has been performing daredevil stunts since he was 18. Being the son of a famous stuntman has afforded Bryan up-close and personal and behind-the-scenes ac- cess to death-defying stunts his entire life.

As he has grown up and performed stunts, both with his father and on his own, Bryan’s passion for stunts and his need to feel that adrenaline rush grows. To date, Bryan has performed live stunts to audiences of 100,000+ worldwide.

Impressively, following in his father’s footsteps, and stepping out on his own, Bryan has continued to enhance the Spanky Spangler brand and his own fame and notoriety as Spanky, Jr., performing danger- ous stunts for such events as Monster jam, in such well-known venues as Texas motor Speedway, Char- lotte motor Speedway, Reliant Stadium , EK Days and in the countries of Costa Rica, Panama, Cananda and Mexico.

Bryan’s star is burning brighter and brighter with each new stunt performed, whether a free fall or jumping and crashing a car long distances. Stay tuned, Bryan may be crashing into your town soon — or into your TV set. EVEL KNIEVEL DAYS • 2014 • 13

Tim Montana and the Shrednecks Butte’s own and Country music’s renegade band. Tim brings an unapologetically ‘in your face’ attitude to his music and his live show that has caused the Nashville community to sit up and take notice. As Tim puts it, “My music is a reflection of who I am”. And ‘who he is’ is a direct reflection of where he’s been. It was back in Mon- tana, where Tim’s unique blend of rock and country found an enthusiastic following. Tim Montana and The Shrednecks are now based in Nashville, where he recently co-wrote “This Beard Came Here To Party” with ZZ Top’s Billy F Gibbons. The song became an anthem for the Boston Red Sox during the 2013 World Series. 14 • EVEL KNIEVEL DAYS • 2014

The finale - a complete 360 revolution around the wire - has to be seen to be believed!

Covered in leds, the bike lights up the night sky.

D erek Cook I have been riding since I was two years old. My dad raced three wheel- ers when I was growing up so naturally he bought me my Suzuki 50 three wheeler when I was two years old. That’s pretty much how I got started. I got my first dirt bike in third grade and my first race bike when I was 11 years old. My mom and dad took me to all the races and helped me as much as they could but racing was expensive. Long story short - I started jumping ramps when I was 21 and hooked up with Kenny Bartram and Chuck Carothers and they helped me a lot with my career and we are still good friends. Along with Bryan Dowdy, I have an awesome wife that I have two little girls with that love to hang out and go watch me ride and go to shows. They are the best kids ever.

Dr . Danger Unbeknownst to him, at the ripe age of ten, an inquisitive Gregory E. Carpenter, with nothing but a lighter, an abandoned car and a love of fire, set out to create the man that would become Dr. Danger! A true stunt gypsy road dog, Dr. Danger spends most of his time on the road living life in the trenches and getting as much out of each and every day. He’s a father, a believer, a songwriter, a mechanic, a bus driver, a dishwasher, and an eternal optimist. Dr. Danger has spent the last 24 years performing live daredevil stunts at racetracks, speedways, and monster truck shows across the country. A child of the 60’s, Carpenter was born in Sacramento, California, where the entertainer in him soon came shining through. Instead of putting on plays in the back yard like most kids, he and his two sisters had a family favorite game, “Howdy, Partner!” It started with an ironing board. They would take turns sitting at the ironing board as if it were a saloon bar, one would walk into the saloon, give a slap on the other’s back and say, “Howdy, Partner!”, and then the stunt fighting would begin! 18 • EVEL KNIEVEL DAYS • 2014 Soar through these uptown businesses
