Hi,

I am a documentary filmmaker in Hollywood, California. I’m

doing a potentially Oscar-hot doc on daredevil legend Bob Gill --!

! I’m involved in a miracle,

and I’d like you to be a part of it.

I know you’re going to be very

excited about the project that

I’m doing.

! As you probably know, in

1973, daredevil legend Bob Gill

jumped the entire fleet of Ryder

trucks in a Super Bowl VIII spot seen

by 140 million viewers. He was

the first human being to take a

bike over a canyon when he

soared 152 feet over Cajun Canyon,

in 1972. Featured in the Guinness Book of World Records, Gill set many

world records, and was the first daredevil to set a night record when he took

his Kawasaki over 22 cars at Seattle International Raceway. He was a golden

boy, loved by the media, as well as his sponsors. Articulate and boyish, the

US Navy, Kawasaki and Valvoline

loved his being their

spokesman because of his

“Heart of America / Boy Next

Door” image.

! In 1974, two weeks before

Evel Knievel jumped Snake

River, Gill crashed at Appalachia

Lake, and has been paralyzed

ever since. David Coombs was the

promoter of that event, and a

dear friend of Bobby’s.

There is a procedure called Laser Puncture being done by Dr. Albert

Bohbot in France that will help him walk again. Dr. Bohbot and his procedure

have been featured in many Discovery Channel and BBC Network documentaries.

! Laser puncture involves redirecting the neurological impulses to alternate

electrical pathways down the spine. The procedure itself takes time, and is followed by up to twenty four months of rehab. Dr. Bohbot has had

success in over 500 of these miraculous procedures, with para- and quadriplegics

who had far worse injuries than Bob Gill’s.

There are 95 videos

depicting their successes on

their website

( www.LaserPoncture.com  ). To

view the site in English, click

on the British flag at the bottom

of the home page.

! Evel Knievel has generously

offered world-wide

promotion to the hospital

in France in exchange for

performing this procedure. Bobby will be meeting with Dr. Bohbot this year to begin a foundation to make miracles

happen for Bobby and other victims of spinal chord injury. Knievel and Gill

were each others’ competitors,

and are dear friends who came

up through the ranks together.

They are, literally, the Godfathers

of the sport.

! In 1976, Bob Gill drove a

hand-controlled factory Kawasaki

900 motorcycle 8,000

miles across country – through

hail, freezing rain and scalding

heat-- to raise money for spinal

chord injury. He hit thirty cities

in thirty days, raising 1.2

million dollars – an impressive

sum in ‘76. Sometime in the future, he plans to re-create

that historical ride – the Bob Gill Freedom Ride, and will drive that same type bike

from New York to Los Angeles – 30 cities in 30 days.

Gill is a

remarkable man. He

has a real zest for life

and an amazingly

positive attitude.

There is no challenge

too great for this

American hero. Many

of the daredevils

have told Gill that

spinal chord injury is

their greatest fear,

and this gives them

hope.

! Gill’s original bike,

which is still operational,

was a Kawasaki 900 4-

cylinder with custom hand

controls and a side-hack

for his wheelchair.

We will be reaching

out to

re-design a new bike,

based on the design of the

original -- or to refurbish

the original.

! There are a number

of sports stars interested

in getting on board this project. Daredevils Doug Danger and Lou

“Rocket” Re. They

are planning on performing

dazzling motorcycle

stunts in

several of the thirty

cities Bob Gill hits

on his trip. Gill is

their hero; these boys

grew up watching Gill

and Knievel, and are truly honored

to be involved in this project.

! I’m directing a documentary

called “SECOND

CHANCE: A Miracle at Full

Throttle.” This documentary is

set in the world of motorcycle

daredevils, past and present,

and the heroic efforts being

made by these men to help Bob

Gill walk again.

! At the end of the documentary,

when Bob Gill walks into the

arms of his friends Doug Danger

and Lou Rocket Re-- well, you’ll

bust out crying! I will be submitting

this documentary to Sundance

via a producer who is making another

of my movies. He’s been on

the Sundance Lab board for 17

years. Getting to Sundance will

give us an Oscar nod.

! I’m reaching out to a number

of companies to sponsor this

project, Air France, Virgin Airways

and several of Bob Gill’s past sponsors.

 ! What I’m selling is a miracle. A chance to be a part of making a miracle happen. When was the last time you had that kind of day? :-D

Best,
