Have to see if I can find some videoActually I think that statement covers the majority of Robbie's career.I got to meet him in Arizona years ago when Robbie was going to jump the grand canyon. He thought (and was probably right) all the Kenievels (sp?)
He was telling me how with the camera angles that he wasn't even really jumping over the canyon at all. On September 15, 1980, Gary Wells I remember the Gary Wells - Evel Knievel rivalry.

He was a BAMF. The rampaging riderless bike narrowly missed several spectators before bouncing off a wall.It wasn't until 1973 that Knievel made his last $2,250 payment on the huge medical bill he owed to Southern Nevada Memorial Hospital, today called University Medical Center.Although it initially was feared Knievel was crippled for life in the Caesars accident, he came back in 1974 to make his most famous and lucrative leap -- another failure, but one that earned him $6 million -- over the Snake River Canyon in Idaho.This time, Knievel escaped injury as he hit the wall of the canyon and landed his rocketship-like vehicle nose-first in the quarter-mile gorge.Wells entered his Sept. 16, 1980, Caesars attempt as a 23-year-old relatively unknown professional rider.He equaled Knievel as far as the spectacular nature of the crash -- going one better by injuring a half-dozen spectators who fell from a wall that collapsed after his out-of-control motorcycle crashed into it.Wells was taken to Desert Springs Hospital where for several days he remained in critical condition with numerous fractures to his face, pelvis, back and injuries to other vital parts.Still, footage of the crash was shown numerous times on television -- far more than it would have been aired had he made the jump without a hitch -- giving Wells, for a brief period, the national fame he had so craved.During a post-crash news conference in the hospital's emergency room, one local television reporter asked Wells' manager if the jump was considered a success because Wells technically cleared the fountains.Knievel, Wells and Laswell all cleared their obstacles -- Laswell soared to what would have been a world record of 65 feet (24 feet better than his world's best) -- but none of them could be called a success given the price the daredevils paid.But there have been successful motorcycle jumps in Southern Nevada, many of which have long been forgotten.Robbie Knievel, in addition to his successful flight over the Caesars fountains on April 14, 1989, successfully cleared 150 feet before 13,000 fans at the Silver Bowl, now Sam Boyd Stadium, in May 1987.In August 1988, relatively unknown motorcycle daredevils Joe Reed and Johnny Airtime successfully leaped the expanse of the roofs of the Binion's Horseshoe parking garages, more than 30 yards above Ogden Avenue.But neither has come close to achieving the success enjoyed by the Knievels. were posers that really couldn't ride bikes at all and he hated them. He currently lives in northern Sonora, known affectionately as "Otherwise, please enjoy this site and its trip back into the early days of extreme motorcycle riding!started racing Go-Karts at the age of 3, winning three state championships, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah, before retiring to begin a motorcycling career at age 10. It's all in fun for me and I can't think of anyone here that I wouldn't buy a beer for including OldFart ." He continued racing championship moto-cross and flat-track during off weeks after his inaugural jump at age 14. Didn't Robbie crash doing that jump??

Gary was probably at a decent intermediate level on a MX tracik where Robby and Evil Kenievel wouldn't have won the beginner class..Evel could ride and did some racing before he got famous jumping.Dont knock on Evel because you know nothing about him, hell you cant even spell his name.

Les Husqvarna cross 2021 seront chez les concessionnaires officiels de la marque dès ce mois de juillet. it is "Evel Knievel" and you dont know shit as usual. It never materialized. January 13, 2012 ~ Norco, CA: One of Arizona’s best known and most successful motorcycle competitors, Carlos Serrano, will be honored this Saturday during the 2012 Monster Energy AMA Supercross event at Chase Field in Phoenix, AZ. He was telling me how with the camera angles that he wasn't even really jumping over the canyon at all. Serrano began competing in motocross during high school in the Tucson area and quickly rose to the top by capturing full factory sponsored rides.

Format. He was killed Sunday in Mesquite during an unsuccessful attempt to break his vertical motorcycle jumping record.As with Evel Knievel's crash in 1967 and Gary Wells' failed leap in 1980 -- both at the fountains in front of Caesars Palace -- the large crowd gasped in horror as Laswell hit the ground.Despite such genuine concern, such events are notorious for drawing fans who know full well such disasters are possible and, in Southern Nevada, quite probable.Laswell earned the distinction of being the only one of his ilk to be killed on the job in a local event.Knievel, who went on to become synonymous with the word "daredevil" and spawn a generation of his kind -- his son, Robbie, successfully cleared the Caesars Palace fountains in 1989 -- broke his pelvis and numerous other bones during his Dec. 31, 1967, leap at Caesars.Knievel, then an accomplished but pretty much unknown stunt man of 29, leaped 150 feet over the fountains outside the Strip resort before a crowd estimated at 10,000, then crash-landed atop the ramp.Wells and Laswell missed their landing ramps.

My helmet painter and all around cool guy (AP Designs) painted him a helmet to hand deliver to him in honor of his dad (which I think he declined to wear if memory serves me right).
