In 1973-74 or there abouts Dave Ruppart, Paul Keller and Papa Joe Hays did a commercial featuring Dave’s spinning back hook kick. It was a lot of fun. I recently found and converted some of the raw footage. No sound with this footage. The idea came from a real life situation in a parking lot when someone carelessly open a car door and almost dented Dave Ruppart’s car. Instead of a fight, Dave did this very kick just crazing the guy’s face. Then stood ready for more. Wisely, the guy appologized and there wasn’t a fight. Dave stood 6’7″ tall and Papa Joe 5’9″ I believe. Good Memories to share! Speical thanks to Paul Curtis who helped with editing.
