Just watched the replay on one of the ESPNs right now.

They had a slowmo replay from one angle, he's upside down and the front of the Casino/Hotel is in the back ground, sign visible and all, guesstimating he's about 60 feet up at that point, that would make a bad ass poster for the garage.

That's cool. Kneivel was the first to jump bikes over stuff, so he's the man.

They were talking about it on 96.3 this morning, Terry Dorsey said "his name just isn't as catchy as Evil Kneivil", he needs to change it to something like Motorcycle Mike or something....haha.

Impressive yeah, but could he do the same back flip on the same bike evil Kneivil used?? I doubt it. Different times man.....

Not really, I mean, it's a helluva lot more exciting to watch, but it's the equipment making the most difference, not the man.

If Evil was 30 right now, he would be doing the same shit I would imagine.

There isn't much of a way to compare really.

My dad raced pro-mx in the 70's and the bikes they had forced the winners to ride better.
