Robby Madison Jump in Vegas...

That was crazy! Then crazier dropping in 100 feet! That dude has bowling balls clanking between his legs.
Then there was the Robby Knievel jump ten minutes later on Fox :down: that guy has zero style and takes minimal chances... Madison jumped higher than Knievel jumped total distance... but hey it pays the bills.

 

I missed it. Is the video posted to the web yet? Mongo can you make an exception to the rule so someone can post a link?

 

Did you guys notice he developed a "Twitch" after the jump??? never saw him do it before in any of the interviews....like he was trying to get his brain to "reset"...

It was a CrazyStunt....:up::up::up:

KRK on the otherhand was BORING.

 

Holy Crap, I just watched it on You Tube......Kinda made RK's jump look lame

 

I saw it on Yahoo in their "Featured" section and with the ESPN bug on the video I'd guess that you might find it there as well.

Pretty freakin' crazy... :wow:

 

Ahhhhh, that would explain it, didn't know that stress would enhance it...learned something new, I thought it may be from the multi-concussions.

 

it was supposed to be Robby Knievel's last jump (until he needs some cash)

what happened to Robbie Madison Service Honda CR500?

 

It's on right now on ESPN2

 

Yep, espn talked about this before the jump.

 

Anyone catch the apology for his profanity after someone ran up and tried to wrap his hand?

 

The descent was phenominal

There could be $10 million in tax-free cash waiting for me at the bottom - I'm not jumping off that arch :wow:

 

Google "The Science Behind Robbie Maddison's Jump" and you'll see a short clip on how they calculated everything. When I saw it (the real jump last night), I thought that they must have done some serious work to make sure he made it.
I wonder if they have a speed limiter on the bike so that he can just hold it wide open and the be at the right speed. That wouldn't be that hard to do, would it?

 

That jump was insane!!! I thought he was dead when he was coming down and the bike went sideways. He somehow held onto it. It was pretty funny when they were trying to interview him and he was cussing at the medical people lol. His hand was gashed open kinda bad and most likely broken, but considering he could have died I think he came out alright.

 

Saw the jump on ESPN. I'm sure they had everything figured out and all that stuff for the first half but to pull it off is wild. The second half is just so insane that I can't fathom it. Where do you get the nerve to just ride off the building like that???

 

balls.

No way I could do it.
