Awesome World Record Motorcycle Jump - dedicated to Evel Knievel | The De Tomaso Forums

Guest

Happy New Year Pantera brothers

In case you haven't heard, on New Years Day Aussie Robbie Maddison set a world record for the longest jump on a motorcycle, 322 feet 7 1/2 inches. The jump was dedicated to the memory of Robbie's personal hero, Evel Knievel. The jump was performed at a football field in Las Vegas. At the apex of the jump the motorcyle was more than 60 feet above the ground.

The dude showed everyone he had big brass balls by doing the jump not once, but TWICE! I think Mr Knievel would be proud.

Enjoy!

Meh.
It's not like he was jumping a tank of sharks with frickin laser beams or anything...

I like the way he narrowly misses the column on the approach though
