fonzie jumping 14 garbage cans 1975

the classic jump you've been waiting to see. live from arnolds drive-in.
heeeeeeeres fonzie!

[dailyflash]

I was nine years old. It was all anybody could talk about the next day at recess. It was a two parter and the made us sweat it out for a week while Fonzie was halfway through the jump.

thats how evel knievel got his start...he watched this episode of happy days..and wanted to be like fonzie

The classic line if I remember correctly, Fonzie asks, "why did Arnold put the chicken stand there?" Richie tells him, "you were supposed to swerve to avoid it" Fonzie's response is "a guy jumping 14 garbage cans has the right of way!"

Dude I was just watching part one of this episode and I was freaking the hell out because part two didn't air after it but he crashed into the chicken stand that's fucking hilarious

[brianpasternak]

I watch now and I'm thinking, Whose idea was it to put a food stand in line with the ramp?

[MrFb]

I remember watching it 1975 I was 10 years old. Now I wonder why Fonzie made that jump at night ? Would be safer in daytime and with a landing ramp 😎🏍️

🤣🤣🤣
I remember watching this the night it premiered. I thought the fonz was the coolest. Of course, I was 12... way before I found out hunter s thompson was born in my hometown and before I discovered Jerry Garcia.

Hey he did make it. If only that fried chicken stand wasn't there.

I Remember Watching This In 1975 That Drummer Made It More Intense.

Henry Winkler couldn't ride a bike to save his life.
The only footage of him on a moving bike that were ever screened was the images in the shows intro and even then the engine wasn't running. The set hands ran behind pushing him up to speed and he free wheeled through the take.
And then he fell off of it and crashed LOL

[Kevin-gfdh]

to think this was all we looked forward to when we were kids? We were entertained easily now it a 5 on 1 LOL

I always get a laugh out of that episode because it was supposed to be a big TV event, yet there were only about 20 spectators in the parking lot watching.

Fonzie jumps the cans and actually let the bike go sliding into the chicken stand...you can see the stuntman not even come in contact with the stand at all! the VERY NEXT frame he is buried in a mountain of chicken boxes that weren't even THERE 2 SECONDS ago as he lies on his back asking "am I DEAD?" NO Fonzie, you're NOT dead, but your show is!

[MikeA]

it was far more dangerous than i remembered....

[zthang]

Henry Winkler couldn't even ride a motorcycle. He said he rode it one time and about killed the sound guy and they never let him on it again. He would sit on a bike attached to a board with wheels and they would pull him around.

[BobDingleful]

I want to know what bike they jumped there, I doubt it was the 49 Truimph but it has a similar look.

[FaceInTheRain]

Does anyone know the name of the stunt man who actually performed the jump?

[Milesco]

Coulda' done without the idiotic, annoying music. Why not just show the damn clip with the original audio intact? Ruined a classic TV moment. Thumbs down.

[ginifarrell]

Travis Pastrana, this one next for your tribute jumps

[fantomas]

Rouler en Triumph c'est dommage pour un gars de Milwaukee 😎
