thinglets: Ken Carter - The Mad Canadian
This short film from the National Film Board of Canada gives me such a 70's retro feel. Remember daredevils at the local fair or track. This 10 minute account of one man, one car, one jump is very nicely-paced. Shows the crazy life of someone trying to make a career from dangerous entertainment. Certainly not a feelgood film by any means. If you've got 10 minutes, and feel nostalgic for the Dukes of Hazzard, give it a watch.

This was great. I can't believe people were smoking right up next to the wreck. Crazy! Thanks for posting.

Glad you liked it... I love how the NFB doesn't look for the glory story, but even decades ago was willing to present the raw feed of things as they happened.
