Crash is the TDD daredevil.
For all intents and purposes, he is a parody of Robert Knievel, aka Evel Knievel.
In the 1960s and 70s, Evel Knievel made dozens of high-profile motorcycle jumps. Mostly these were ramp-to-ramp jumps over several cars, trucks, or buses. He was heavily promoted in his day and known for his flamboyant attire. He even had a line of action figures and a biopic movie made in 1971.
Knievel is also known for his failed attempt to jump the Snake River Canyon in Idaho on a rocket-powered motorcycle. He survived the unfortunate crash and lived to be 69 years of age.
His son, Robbie, also became a well-known stunt performer. Whereas his father did his jumps mostly on Harley-Davidson motorcycles, Robbie was more into motorcross bikes.
Anyway, Crash has figures in G1, G2, and G3.
He even has a G4 figure in the Trick Dudes series. This figure does the "360 Shov-It" trick.
