im really sorry, but that is lame...i know he is an icon but coming from someone like me who is somewhat decent at jumping (no where near 200) it just looks so ragdoll/goon..im prepared for the hating haha but it really did make me laugh, especially with the little wheelie at the end..dudes got balls, brains not so much, but cajones for sure

the way i see it....those type of riders are definately daredevils but theres not much skill in it...i think the reason those types of riders so much is because they have such such a stiff body posture and the sit down on the takeoff...

This thread is called Robbie Knievel´s Search for Technique. I think his technique he needs to search for is his rear break...

The posts that follow the video are the best, especially where the ston3pony guy says that people are hitting 300 plus everyday in the dunes, and in the hills. I will agree he has balls, there is no way I would go off that ramp sitting down and then stay seated, its obvious that he does not have much bike control though.

dude that's so 80's. The bike, the gear, the bandana, and then the music just to top it off.

I like how he has 2 extra bikes sitting there, in case one breaks, then another breaks, then another breaks. Way to be prepared Robbie. It's amazing how he jumps a dirt bike with suspension, the same way his dad jumped a 700 pound harley with no suspension. Also it's a good thing he had that roll in thing, man, I don't know if he would have made enough speed to make it otherwise... ummmmm.... haven't they ever thought of making a berm? Oh, that's right he's robbie K. K for Krazy! What a joke.
