Who I'd like to meet:
From a very young age, Joe Hutchinson was always full of energy, very physically active, and always trying new things. He loved watching Evel Knievel on Wide World of Sports and even did his own stunts on his bicycle. He was quite an athlete, excelling in the sports of baseball, football and weight lifting.
In 1980, Joe competed in a weight lifting competition and set a world record for dead lifting 575 pounds. He held that world record for 20 minutes.
In 1979 and 1980, Joe tried out for the Cincinnati Reds baseball team four times, just missing selection each time. He also attempted to get a walk on tryout with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but was turned down without a recommendation from a college coach.
Joe then focused his efforts in the direction of his love for music. He began working for the local International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (I.A.T.S.E.). This is the is the union that handles the behind the scenes work for movies, theatrical productions, and concerts. While working with this union, he learned a lot about the music business. He also learned that the best paying job in the union was also the most dangerous and physically demanding. This was right up Joe’s alley! He became a rigger. The rigger is the individual that climbs to the ceiling of civic centers and arenas to pull chains and cable up and secure them to the building’s beams which then hold up the lighting and sound equipment for musical acts and theatrical productions. Joe worked with such artists as Wayne Newton, Tom Jones, KISS, Rod Stewart, and WWF (now WWE) just to mention a few. As he earned money, Joe purchased his own professional sound equipment and began renting it to musical acts that came to town. His equipment was used by such artists as Harry James Swing Band, Hank Snow, and Tammy Wynette. Through his involvement with the union, Joe got the opportunity to work behind the scenes of the Country Music Awards show in Nashville TN. He had the opportunity to speak with Bill Monroe, John Denver, The Oak Ridge Boys, Tennessee Ernie Ford, and Roy Acuff. He began expanding his work with the union traveling to set up outdoor shows and then worked backstage security for acts from Alabama to ZZ Top. He also worked on numerous theatrical productions, music videos, and a major motion picture, “Kentucky Woman” starring Cheryl Ladd and Ned Beatty.
In 1984 Joe was offered a job as the assistant rigger on the KISS Animalized World Tour. Of course he accepted the job. While on the road with KISS, Joe met and spoke with Diana Ross and Shannon Tweed. He attended parites with Al Franken and the Godfather of Soul – James Brown. He also spent time with the members of KISS at the time, Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Eric Carr, and Bruse Kulick. Joe thought his dreams had come true. He was making great money doing something he loved. But it wouldn’t last. In Lincoln Nebraska, while setting up for the show, Joe fell off a lighting truss from twenty feet in the air. By the time the tour made it to Chicago, Joe had to be rushed back home to WV for emergency surgery on his left knee. This was the first of several major operations. During his long, painful recovery from that operation, Joe tried to begin rebuilding his body which had deteriorated from inactivity. He spent hours in the gym slowly gaining strength.
In 1989, Joe felt he was in good enough physical shape to try something new. Even though he loved music and the music business, losing his dream job tarnished his outlook on the profession. He sold his professional sound equipment and bought a motorcycle. He was going to follow in the footsteps of his childhood hero, Evel Knievel.
Through a strange twist of fate, Joe’s mother Helen actually met Evel Knievel and his wife Linda. The Knievels were in Huntington WV to research purchasing a local hotel. Helen was friends with the host of a local radio show, Dick Hustead. When the Knievels were on the Dick Hustead show, Helen met them. She caught Evel’s eye and he told her she looked like Jane Fonda. Through the years, Joe’s mother remained friendly with the couple and even knitted an afghan for Linda. Through this, Joe got the rare opportunity to speak with his idol Evel Knievel on the telephone about his desire to begin a motorcycle stunt career. Even though Evel advised Joe not to do it, he provided Joe with life saving information on how to properly build take-off and landing ramps, and how to figure measurements. Joe had several subsequent telephone conversations with both Evel and his son, Robbie Knievel. Robbie gave more detailed information to Joe after he completed his Caesar’s Palace jump. Joe then met David Cooper, an engineer at Kentucky Electric Steel. Mr. Cooper used his engineering skills and knowledge of physics to calculate speed to distance ratios for Joe.
Using his own money, Joe hired builders who began construction on his ramps using schematics based on Evel and Robbie Knievel’s specifications. After speaking with several promoters, Joe discovered he had to have video footage of himself jumping before he could sell himself as an act. Joe hired a video crew and headed up to his family’s farm to film his very first ramp to ramp motorcycle jump. Joe wrecked. He was knocked unconscious and found out later that he had actually broken his neck in that crash as well as dislocated his left shoulder. At the time though, Joe wasn’t worried about his injuries. The video crew he had hired decided they didn’t want to give him the footage. This was his first experience with unethical business people. Joe had to hire an attorney to get the footage of his crash. Joe knew he had to jump again. He waited until his should felt better and headed back up to the family farm with a new video crew. He knew he had to make it this time. He jumped several times and made it. He then used the footage of those jumps and tried to book a show with promoters throughout the country. When he realized promoters wanted to make a fortune and pay him almost nothing for the risk he was taking, Joe decided to become his own promoter.
In 1990, Joe rented the Harris Riverfront Park in Huntington WV. He set up a stunt jumping over Pepsi trucks on the levee of the park. This turned out disastrous. The City of Huntington breached the contract they had with Joe and he never got to perform the stunt. Joe had to sue the City of Huntington. He won.
After finally completing a series of jumps in 1991 and 1992, the stress proved too much for his previously rebuilt left knee. He required another open reduction operation to repair the ravaged joint. After another long period of recovery and rebuilding his strength in the gym, Joe started preparing for the biggest show yet.
In 1993, Joe created the “Ohio River Thriller”, a land to water jump out into the Ohio River from the levee of Harris Riverfront Park in Huntington WV. While promoting the show at St. Clouds Commons, the baseball field for the Huntington Cubs, Joe’s motorcycle slid on wet grass while performing a wheelie. He crashed into the fence and dislocated his shoulder and broke his wrist and hand.
Joe performed the “Ohio River Thriller” on Friday, August 13, 1993, breaking the land to water jump record previously held by Dennis Madalone for a jump performed on the Dinah Shore show in the 1970s. Not only had Joe broken the record, he also broke his back. Joe had jumped off of a 35’ tall ramp, traveled 200’ out into the Ohio River, and reached a height of 60’ at his apex. When his parachute, meant to slow him down after separation from the motorcycle in the air, didn’t fully deploy, Joe collided with his motorcycle on the surface of the river shattering his back.
The injuries sustained during this jump began the most challenging time of Joe’s life. His spine was crushed and he had narrowly escaped paralysis. Every disc in his back was herniated, bulging, leaking, or missing. Two vertebrae in the thoracic region had completely shattered inward toward Joe’s spinal cord. His left shoulder was dislocated, his left knee was again damaged, and his previously broken neck was again injured. Joe didn’t get to enjoy the fact that his self-promoted jump was being televised all over the world.
Joe realized that after spending a total of four years of his life in hospitals, waiting rooms and doctor’s offices, bedridden, recovering, taking a pharmacy full of medications, and having multiple chemicals injected into his spine, he didn’t feel any better.
Now in his 40s and without medication, Joe looks and feels better than he has in 20 years. He has never used steroids or any performance enhancing substances. With all the injuries he has sustained over the years, Joe still outperforms men half his age in the gym. In 2008 Joe set a world record for strict curl in a power lifting competition.
