My dad J.N. Roberts is the one who turns over the Val van. He worked as a stuntman on over a 100 episodes of CHIPS. I grew up watching and luving that show. Its a lot of the reason I followed in his footsteps. I've been a movie stuntman for the past 31 years. Thanks, 80's Life

I watched the show as a kid and watch it sometimes flipping through the channels. Takes me back. Love the stunts. And the sights! Real cars real drivers. No CGI. Still got the engines and transmissions in them when they roll them over.

Hey Jimmy, your dad is a LEGEND! I am a friend of Motocross Mike Brown (TN) and aquainted with Troy Lee... I love your guys part in Dust to Glory! CHiPs has always been a favorite for me... I always look at show credits of movies to see if any of you guys are credited with the stunts.

The best are the location jumps form scene to scene. A bad guy commits a robbery in Culver City. Cut to them chasing him down the 118 in Chatsworth. Then the bad guy causes a huge pile up and flips his car on the 210 in La Crescenta. Somehow in that 90 second chase they covered 45 miles.

I loved "CHiPs" and that era of television. A lot of those shows were shot in the same places. "Hulk' and "Little House" were often filmed in the Santa Clarita area. Malibu and Vasquez Rock as well as so many places in the San Fernando Valley and in Santa Monica. It's amazing watching those old shows how run-down things looked in the late 1970s and early '80s. So many of the old brick buildings and stores have been ripped down and replaced with modern steel and glass ones.

Kurt: Another great one. You are not going to believe this. Speaking of Decker Canyon Road. When I lived in Simi Valley some friends and I rode our bicycles from Simi, through Thousand Oaks, through Westlake Village, onto Decker Canyon Road, all the way to the beach. AND BACK. These were not 10 speeds. This was about 1969. Think Sting Ray bikes with the banana seats. Single gear. Dehydrated riders. I can't believe we did that. We would have been about 14.
