This chronicle of the life and wild times of Phil Cross explores his time as an outlaw biker; fights, jail, police chases, and that's just the start. In the early 1960s, a young Navy vet, motorcyclist and rebel named Phil Cross joined a motorcycle club called the Gypsy Jokers. He started a San Jose chapter of the Jokers and embarked on the most action-packed years of his life--the Jokers were in the midst of a shooting war with the Hells Angels . The fighting became so intense that the Jokers posted snipers atop their clubhouse . This was a rough time, but it was also the height of the free-love hippie era, and as a young man, Cross enjoyed himself to the fullest. He never let anything as minor as a little jail time stop his fun. Once, while serving time for fighting and fleeing an officer, Cross broke out of jail , entered his bike in a bike show, won, and broke back into jail before anyone discovered he was missing. Though Cross was tough, he was a certified martial arts instructor, the Angels proved a tough foe.
After multiple beating-induced emergency room visits , Cross decided that if you can't beat 'em, join 'em, so he and most of his club brothers became the San Jose chapter of the Hells Angels. He has been a member of the Hells Angels for 47 years. These are just a few of the stories you can expect to find in Phil Cross , Phil's complete story.
