Quite the feat! I just watched the Richard Hammond/Evel Knievel interview on YouTube. Very interesting perspective.

Is that stuff he's doing even relevant compared to what those guys in the X games are doing ? Not being critical , just asking

[LakeCleElum]

Not bad for the kid that settled where I grew up: Sequim, Washington.......

When the wind is blowing at 25 and gusting to 40mph, yeah, I'd say it's bad ass. The Indy car clowns are complaining about the wind, and they're on the damned ground. Well, most of the time anyway.

Finally! a good use for Hummers.

Why doesn't he use an old, POS junk designed harley like his dad did?

The kids on X-games do stuff like that every day but they throw in a back flip with no hands.

Longest back flip on a motorcycle

[sammyg2]

This kid goes 169 feet on an 85cc motorcycle. did I mention that he's twelve years old?

[sammyg2]

Here's that same 12 year old on the same 85cc bike doing a big back flip.
I'd say Kneivel's stuff is pretty much irrelevant compared to the rest of the stunts being done all the time.

Indeed, if Robbie Knievels name was Robbie Jones he's be managing an Arby's in the Valley.

[Tim Hancock]

Yep, modern MX bikes are complete different animals to what Robbie's dad was doing in the 70's. 200+ feet vs 100 feet still takes some balls, but if the longer distances are creeped up on thru practice, this stuff is child's play compared to what the old man was doing back in the day.

Ryan Capes= 320' + on a 250cc.
