Anybody watching this Robbie Maddison jump on ESPN?

I have never heard of a guy doing a big jump twice. He's confident. I can't believe the speed he had to hit that ramp with.

I think the 1st one was longer. That was amazing though.

Throw in a couple busses and a bike that weighs 500lbs...........

That was awesome.

If Evil were 25-30 right now, with these bikes and the science behind these jumps, NO ONE would jump farther.

Ya, they said the same exact number, 222'7.5" but with his severe drift on the second jump, it sure looked like the first one was farther and you could tell on his GFs face she knew the second one wasn't better.

You mean 322-7.5.

I guarantee none of these guys could do the jumps with Evel's bikes, ramps, or locations. Many don't understand that the Caesar's Palace jump was dangerous not just because of how far, but where he had to take off and land from.

I give Robbie Knievel credit for the all time ballsiest jump when he jumped from one 25 story building to another. How he had the nads to even go down that approach ramp is beyond me, but to then have to lay the bike down or go over the edge of the landing building. Nuts.

Nuff said.

Evel truly was crazy. No doubt at all. But he also had the two biggest brass ones hanging as well.

I watched it. I've seen those super long jumps before, so I wasn't as awestruck as some with the distance. But it was super nadsy of him to do it again.

No matter what, there will only be one Evel Knievel.

R.I.P.
