I was a huge Evil Knievel fan as a kid and I had a broken frame on my '72 Honda Z50 to prove it!

Today's modern MX bikes compared to the heavy (basically a street bike) bikes Knievel used to launch, are COMPLETELY different animals. Any comparison between what he was doing then and today's distance jumping now, is not even close to being the same. He truly was on and sometimes over the edge with what he was doing.

Well that's your opinion, aperantly, the networks thought it was and so did thousands of spectators and tv viewers. You cant argue with facts that have already occured.

Just sayin... these guys can make a M1 tank, helicopter, etc seem to disappear in thin air... it they can do that it is possible he could make an illusion that he is in a bubble or inside a giant ice cube or whatever while he is actually back stage having a smoke.

Just sayin... they don't really "pull a rabbit out of a hat".

I think this guy is very talented. This is his first stunt that he didn't accomplish. He's more than an illusionist. He also does these stunts that challenges himself physically and mentally. And his street magic is incredible.

Anyone seen hime levitate, or pull the head off a chicken then put it back on?, Or removing the girls teeth etc...??? He's damn good. (no homo)

That's what I am saying guys... you don't really believe he can pull your teeth out of your mouth and put them back, rip a head off a chicken then bring it back to life, magically levitate (pun intended) in thin air, etc.

Reality check, table eight!

You need to check out some of the Penn and Teller stuff where they tell you how the tricks are done, But as they say most people don't want to know how the tricks are done because it's more fun to believe in magic.
