AZgman Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Travis did an amazing job, but the hosts/commentators were complete poop! Link to comment
TEWKS Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 Yeah, nothing like the connection Frank had with Evel. I know some of the Knievel family were on board with this show but wonder, how Robbie felt where he actually followed in his father's footsteps. Missed it if he did comment on it. Pat Link to comment
KTM Doug Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Not much of Robbie. I noticed on the helmet cam for the Fountain, I thought I saw on the radar meter on the right that he was only up to about 56 mph? He cleared all the jumps with room to spare. The whole stunt was well planned out and I'm sure he knew he could make them all. Heck, I saw a pic of Tewks flying nearly that high. Link to comment

TEWKS Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) Morning Doug! Google gave me the answer. " Robbie Knievel, son of the legend and an accomplished daredevil himself, provided the Nitro Circus team with photos and videotape from his father's jumps so they could study every aspect." Glad to see that! Pat Edited July 9, 2018 by TEWKS Link to comment
KTM Doug Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 A friend some years ago broke his shoulder and lay on his side awhile so blood moved around a lot. They told him he had the record for the largest bruise for the hospital. Took a long time to go away. But I think you are the real winner. Link to comment

ltljohn Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Travis did an amazing job, but the hosts/commentators were complete poop! I think this is an insult to poop. They were beyond terrible trying to create drama about the jumps. Link to comment
AZgman Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 LOL yeah poop would be like; "hey! you tryin' to ruin my reputation"?! Link to comment
EffBee Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Now, if he could just clear the Snake River, he'd claim every major jump record that Knievel had or attempted. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 Now, if he could just clear the Snake River I bet it wouldn't take much more than a "I dare you to" Travis... Pat Link to comment
