World Record Jump

With a jump like that I can see why they are crusty! I would need some new drawers myself. First Post!

That looks like something i did as a kid on my bmx and I am sure I smashed my giblets. Very cool though.

OOP!

Typos! We got Typos here. Come and get 'em!

I think he's wearing an adult diaper

That was cool.

I can't listen to you. You're just trying to prove how cool you are again! LOL

I wonder what Robbie Knievel has to say about this. It has seemed to me, for quite some time now, that these guys with their motocross/x-games experience had long since eclipsed what Robbie does. And they make it look easy. Robbie ends up looking kinda dumb doing it in a parking lot with not enough room, so he breaks his hand sliding into a bunch of haybales.



Heck I'm surprised Trigger didn't throw in the standard tabletop whip during the jump.

I take it back. Another guy (Robbie Maddison) set the world record for longest trick distance that same night with a 246' superman seat grab.

Ouch! I know that's gotta hurt!

In another story, they said that Mike Metzger lost a testical and damn-near turned himself inside-out while performing.

Re: Ouch! I know that's gotta hurt!

Why? Did he get divorced?

Re: first post

Whattaya mean, suicide? Evel Knievel's still alive. Sorta. Well, parts of him, anyway.

And Evel did all his big jumps on an honest-to-'murica Harley-Davidson XR, complete with suspension designed in the Stone Age. Relatively speaking, landing these lightweight MXers with suspension travel measured in feet has to be a piece of cake. Or at least providing a somewhat improved probability of success.

Cool, nice to see testosterone induced bravado live and well. i.e IMHO all great male achievements start with that.

Re: first post

Yep Good Point. I wonder how long this jump in Evel feet i.e. 2005 feet adjusted for 1970s technology.

Hey, hold my beer and watch this!

That is without question better than anything those goofy stuntaz do.

I think I can top it. Someone get me a GSX-R.

All say "yay."

Absolutely, much better--and at no risk to anyone but himself.

And what a dead, solid, perfect landing!

(I hearby swear to never use another golf expression in this forum again.)

Re: first post

Evel Knievel's longest and most publizied jumps were done on a re-badged Laverda, called an American Eagle. VWW

Re: Ouch! I know that's gotta hurt!

You've got a point there Buz. Losing a testicle is bad, but when you get a divorce they go for the whole package. VWW
