HenryRife atv jump on Late Show w/ David Letterman 9/28/2007

[jordan450r]

very nice and with pretty much a bone stock Honda... whats the gap of 12 cars?

[atvpitbull]

yes stock except motor. i wanted to show off what a mostly stock atv can do.

"thrill show" jumping is a bit diffrent than mx or fmx,,,,,,,,,its old school evel knievel style ,,,,small ramps with a lot of speed.

im 41 now and have been jumping since i was 5 years old. and most do the fmx thing,,,and thats cool , i can do most of that stuff just not a big kick for me plus everyones is doing that. so this sets me apart. letterman was fun and really the only tricky part to it was there was no ,,,

[atvpitbull]

takeoff room,,,,,,the 12 car isnt my best. ive jumped a 163 ft gap,,,,,,,,,143 to flat ground...but i dont make a habit of showing it off ....people will pay to see that stuff,,,or one day ill just post my footage up here when im done jumping.thanks for the props,,,take care

[jordan450r]

163 is that a world record atv gap jump?

[atvpitbull]
