DescriptionA black and white photograph of a stuntman seated atop a rocket bike landing on a ramp in front of a crowd. The man on the bike wears a black suit and tie with fingerless gloves, white sneakers, goggles, and a helmet with "Giro" printed on it. He sits on a metal-plated bicycle with six rockets attached to the back, three on each side. The words "CROCKETT ROCKET" are painted on the metal-plated front wheel. Smoke obscures the crowd. A metal fence, telephone poles, and trees fill the suburban background.
