This stuntman is not getting younger. I hope he has a healthy retirement plan. He will probably ache every single day of his life.

Larry Rippenkroeger is probably the most famous stuntman on the planet ever since Bruce Willis dubbed him the $6-million man after falling from the third story of a building to the pavement during the filming of Live Free or Die Hard.
Rippenkroeger was seriously injured, but is already on the mend. He's back at work doing stunt driving for Iron Man. He has also just signed on as stunt coordinator for Hunt of the Sea Wolves,written by John Chadwell and co-production between Jeffrey D. Erb of Feverpitch Pictures and Anthony Ridio of Anthony Ridio Productions. Sea Wolves goes before the cameras in 2008.
Rippenkroeger, a four-time world champion Jet Ski racer, broke into stunt work in 1995 with Waterworld, starring Kevin Costner. He parlayed that into going on to work in 45 films.

Hi, We are the McKay family from keokuk Iowa.
I think we are cousins. I am the grandaughter of Mark Rippenkroeger of ft. madison Iowa. His parents were Bernard and Eleanor Mary Holtkamp Rippenkroeger. My friends don't believe we could be related. Are we?
Sincerely,
Kaleigh Mckay
