She began competing in trials and enduro events, usually as the only female in the competition.[4] In 1978 at the age of 19, she accepted an invitation to compete in the grueling Scottish Six Days Trial, at the suggestion of Bill Emmison of UK importation firm BERM Specialties and with support from Gordon Farley Motorcycles England.[2] Although some enthusiasts thought that the trial may be too difficult for Evans, she proved her skill by not only finishing the event, but finishing in a respectable fourth place against male competitors in the 175cc division.[2] Evans also began performing exhibition shows, eventually displaying her riding skills in front of tens of thousands of fans at AMA Grand National Championship and AMA Supercross events.[2] She became known for a trick in which she would balance her motorcycle with the kickstand up and perform a headstand on the seat.[2] She appeared in the 1980 motorcycle documentary film, Take It To The Limit, performing her trademark headstand on a motorcycle.[5] Film industry careerEvans' exceptional riding ability eventually led her to work in the American film industry as a stunt rider. She became so successful as a stunt performer that it became her full-time job.[1] Evans has appeared in over 200 movies and television shows, including motorcycle stunt work in The Matrix Reloaded as well as in The Fast and the Furious film franchise.[3][6] Later lifeAt the age of forty, Evans returned to the sport of observed trials in 1998 to compete in the Women’s Trials World Championship. Despite having spent 18 years away from the sport, she finished the season in a respectable eighth place. Evans was inducted to the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 2003.[2] References1. ^1 {{IMDb name|id=0262700}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Evans, Debbie}}2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite web |url=http://www.motorcyclemuseum.org/halloffame/detail.aspx?RacerID=300 |title=Debbie Evans at the Motorcycle Hall of Fame |publisher=motorcyclemuseum.org |accessdate=8 May 2013 }} 3. ^1 {{cite web |url=https://www.mamamia.com.au/fast-and-furious-stunts/ |title=Meet Debbie Evans |publisher=mamamia.com.au |accessdate=23 April 2018 }} 4. ^{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fPkDAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA41&dq=debbie%20evans%20american%20motorcyclist&pg=PA41#v=onepage&q=debbie%20evans%20american%20motorcyclist&f=false |title=Tough One, American Motorcyclist, January 1975, Vol. 29, No. 1, ISSN 0277-9358 |publisher=Books.google.com |date= |accessdate=2013-05-08}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0181045/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm |title=Take It To The Limit at imdb.com |publisher=imdb.com |accessdate=23 April 2018 }} 6. ^{{citation|publisher=The Telegraph|author=Timandara Harkness|date=19 June 2004|title=Matrix tricks|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/motorbikes/2728922/Matrix-tricks.html}} 12 : 1958 births|Living people|People from Lakewood, California|American sportswomen|American motorcycle racers|American stunt performers|Motorcycle stunt performers|Women stunt performers|Motorcycle trials riders|Enduro riders|Motorcycle Hall of Fame inductees|Female motorcycle racers |
