"Had a major injury, was on life support, broke 19 bones, crushed my right shoulder, 2 collapsed lungs, just wasn't a good day"............ I wonder what a bad day is for him ohh my god
I have seen Evel jump and the one major difference that I see here is that the ramp seems to be much narrower. Had the landing ramp been wider he would have impacted it at a shallower angle than he hit the ground.
I was there that day at the Del Mar Fair. I was s little kid, so I don't remember that well... Haha, coincidentally I'm at the Del Mar Fair as I type this.
if i saw this asshole on the street, he would get decked so fucking hard, i bet he knows better then to go ANYWHERE in SD... "I was supposed to go surfing" well yea buddy, we were "supposed" to fucking watch the fireworks and have a great night, you got a helicopter ride. FUCK YOURSELF.
hahah im right there in the origianal edited out video, near front row like 100ft from where he basically died... hahah fuck that guy, such a prick, gave so many little children and housewives nightmares... it wasnt a redneck event. it was at the SAN DIEGO COUNTY FAIR, in front of thousands, and it took one dumbfuck on a harley doing a stunt that wasnt even asked for, to fuck it all up... and 2 months before sep. 11th? FUCK THIS GUY.
@ckyfan8291 Yeah, you were so traumatized by this event that you had to come back and watch this video to see that you were edited out of the video where you were "near front row like 100ft from where he basically died". C'mon dude.
@likemesomeyoutoob go fuck yourself faggot. smartass that doesnt give a fuck about anyone... it ruined the night for like thousands of people just because this guy wanted his 15 minutes, and thats ok? this wasnt even the 'main event' it was some stupid ass preshow for the fireworks and then it got fucked over because dumbshit had to be medi-vac'd and i remember more than even he does... he was supposed to go surfing. i was supposed to see fireworks, not some dude almost die doin some hick stunt
If the stunt wasn't asked for, how did he manage to do it? Was it a last-minute addition? It seems with an event of this size, something as big as an Evel Knievel-style stunt would have to be cleared with a committee.
@5jerry1 it was the fucking pre-show you moron. the main even is the navy band and fireworks. no one gives a fuck about some idiot jumping a motorcycle, maybe you do. but maybe then again youre an idiot who likes to jump motorcycles...
First of all, why did you cuss me and call me a moron? I was only asking you about the show. I don't go these events, so I wondered how it wound up this way. Second, you logged onto this page. Why is this? I thought maybe it could have been a cool stunt, it obviously wasn't. Understandably, you don't seem too happy about it. Why did you log on?
Thirdly,I don't own a motorcycle; I don't even ride.
Lastly, "Profanity is the last refuge of the desperate, ignorant mother-fucker."
@5jerry1 people that list points are basically retarded... sorry for your disability... you were being a smartass dont lie, and you werent very smart at it...
I was going to ignore you and give you your coveted last word, but instead, without fighting, I am asking you, why did you get so mean with me when I asked you a simple question? Really, you sound like a singularly unpleasant person. Why all the bile?
@ckyfan8291 Dude you've got fuckin' ISSUES kid... Maybe you should go see a doc about that untreated PTSD from when you missed your FIREWORKS show because someone almost DIED! What a spoiled, entitled little fuck... Try directing that hate towards your parents seeing as they saw fit to take you to the show in the first place knowing full well that there was a stunt jump AND what the possible outcome of said jump COULD be. Go kill yourself faggot. Don't respond either, I won't...
exactly the same happend to Bob Duffy in the late 70's early 80's in germany, where he hit the ramp the same way, and broke his spine in 3 places. 2 months later he jumped again, but only 6 cars, but he had to, because he was under contract for 6 months, and had to jump twice a day, 6 days a week on a traveling stuntshow in west germany.
He says he doesn't remember parts of the accident; I believe this, because I was knocked unconscious for about 20 minutes in an accident back in '93. I don't remember it either. Knowing this, I don't believe there's any pain in dying. That accident could've killed him and he wouldn't have felt it.
In my accident I saw it coming, then I woke up tied to a board while being transported to the hospital; I don;t remember anything in between.
@5jerry1 The reason you feel pain is because of the signals sent to your brain from your nerves. If your brain isn't working, you don't feel any pain. When you're unconscious, you lose all awareness and sensory perception. Essentially, your brain is shut off until you regain consciousness. This is why you felt NO pain.
Not everyone is so lucky after an accident to be unconscious. And you're not dead, so how would you know what death feels like?
I was addressing the fear a lot of people have about dying, where you actually leave your body. I have heard, from several people, that they think it would hurt. I have had my share of bang-ups, and where none were without pain, the one I mentioned here didn't hurt as much as one would think. There were lingering effects, but I didn't feel it at the time. If I would've died, it would have been without pain.
@5jerry1 There's a gal who promotes motorcycle ATGATT (all the gear all the time). And she talked about the time she came off the back of her friends gsxr1k at speed, wearing little more than jeans and a tshirt. She says as she lay there, bloody, with much of her skin missing, she felt the heat of the sun bare down on her, and it was like ever nerve was on fire. She hoped she'd have gone into shock, but didn't. So i guess it can be painful or a complete black out, as you experienced.
I guess I was lucky. But actually dying, the point where the body shuts down, some say you leave your body; that itself is debatable, but it doesn't seem dying would have any pain - just the events leading up to it. I can only imagine what the girl you spoke of experienced. She was literally skinned alive. I'm squirming at the thought of it.
some say that white men can't jump, but harley's can't too. This prooves that those
"experts" knew jack shit what they were doing. And what were they thinking when they choose a harley to do the job? It's like wanting to jump the grand canyon on the back of a dinosaur.
It's amazing how many ignorant comments are on here. "wrong bike dude" I think thats the whole point of jumping with the Harley, to increase the challenge and do what others don't. Isn't that what dare devils do?
The point isn't to sell out and take the easy route.
@joejoe652 Actually, he was trying to break Knievel's records. It would not be fair to do it on a modern bike. When Knievel was using the Harley, it was as good as anything on the market and better than most. The XR 750 that he rode was the winningest motorcycle ever built. It's still winning races today.
Bollocks. Honda is the world's largest manufacturer of bikes. They are also the world's largest manufacturer of internal combustion engines. They make more than 14 million engines per year. Are you seriously trying to say that Harley are anywhere near that level?
@Rainb0wSeven I stand corrected. I should have stated Harley has the majority of the market in heavyweight cruisers. Approximately 268,000 new Harley-Davidson motorcycles in 2009 was the projected figure. If we consider all the 50-250cc bikes and scooters that flood the streets in Asia, Honda might sell a gazillion motorized bikes.
But those are not motorcycles. I started out on those and they don't make the cut as motorcycles. Most of them are not even legal on interstate highways.
@Rainb0wSeven Honda makes some very fine machinery, can't take that away. But HD sells more heavy cruisers. HD doesn't make washing machines or generators or scooters. I was comparing apples to apples.
I like knowing when I buy a HD the profit stays in America.
If foreigners manage to bankrupt American manufacturers we are going to be at their mercy.
@Rainb0wSeven In the 1980's Honda and others ridiculed Harleys as being antiquated, out of style. no good.
Now most every cycle company is building a HD clone. Why is that? If the V-twin is antiquated why copy it? Sometimes they are so similar I have to look twice to know what it is.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
In 1977 I bought a used 1972 Honda 750. Nice. Smooth, and fast, but no resale value. No low end torque, had to shift constantly with two riders.
Bahahahaha! They're not making "clones", any more than GM made "clones" of Model T Fords. The Jap cruisers are infinitely superior to anything made by HD.
@Rainb0wSeven After ridiculing the antique, outdated V-twin for 20 some years, yes they ARE clones dammit. They built their inline twins and fours and insisted it was the only way to go. But now, they have the same V-twin and lines of a Harley so tell me, how is that not copying? IT IS COPYING. Just like the minivan Chrysler invented. COPY.
Keep buying that foreign stuff. Keep sending your money and jobs overseas. One day the job may be yours.
I can bet you have not test driven a Harley lately.
1) HD are not the only company to ever build V-twin engines.
2) The V-twin found in a VTR1000, for example, is VERY different to the type of V-twin used in a Harley.
3) No, I haven't ridden a Harley recently. Why would I? - I own a 2006 Hayabusa, which is faster, handles better, brakes better, is more reliable and is cheaper than a Harley. It's also a lot easier to keep clean.
4) Jap cruisers are infinitely superior to anything made by HD.
@Rainb0wSeven If they do, it will be the last time this girl buys a new one. I have friends who still ride Harley's from the 1940's and 50's. They keep them running so can I. My 2000 Road King has 75,0000 miles on it and it runs perfect. Still gets 45 mpg. I had the fork bearings replaced and that is the only thing that wore out on that bike. Not counting tires!!!
@Rainb0wSeven What are your roads like there? every movie or tube vid I see looks like flatland. If so that would make for boring riding. I love my hilly, curvy roads in WI. Some places are almost like parts of Austria and Germany. Hey, you might not make bikes in Aussyland but you make and awesome chain saw. Husqvarna. My friend has one and man oh man, it devours trees like a beaver on steroids.
Nah, there are plenty of windy roads, mostly in coastal areas. I usually ride in The Royal National Park, which is a very good, twisty bit of road. The flat, boring stuff is mainly out in the desert.
@Rainb0wSeven OH, your breaking my heart. All year round? One year when the snow was flying it got so bad for me, I booked a trip to Florida so I could rent a Harley and go riding. Hah. All the roads were flat and boring. I stopped for a minute to adjust my glasses and when I looked to my right there was a damned alligator looking right at me. I slammed that bike in gear and left a streak of rubber behind. Never again. Maybe Las Vegas or something.
@Rainb0wSeven You're an ass. Flintstone paid Honda a compliment and all you do is rag at people. 60% of the US market is a big deal. I guarantee if Honda had those numbers your little mind would think it a big deal.
Harley had some bad years, quality problems from management milking the company for profits. The new Harleys are a huge improvement. Smooth, fast, fuel efficient. Wanna compare resale figures? Your foreign bikes can't hold a candle to that. AND YES THEY ARE CLONES. ARE YOU BLIND?
And you haven't ridden a modern Jap bike, have you?
BTW, 60% of US market share is peanuts in comparison to bike sales in the rest of the world. The sole reason HD has such a large US market share is American parochialism, wherein you lot will buy an inferior product simply because it's considered "patriotic" to do so.
im all for patritotism but why would you jump a heavey assed harley just for national pride.dont make sense no how ,wouldnt you want the best equipment for the job ! just my opinion
I love how the guy in the Captain America suit after the crash tells the paramedic "No, no, no, don't touch him." Paramedic says, "Get the fuck outta my face, tard."
The fact that he's using a bike NOT made for jumping is hat makes it even more hardcore, dumbshit. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. he lost this one.
lol : ) you got me on that one!! haha. I thought about mu comment afterwards and I rekon if I was given the chance to try a wheelie in a plane I'd probably take it! : )
he doesn't remember a lot of stuff...the first thing he shoulda remembered is that motorcycles have two wheels and they were designed to be in constant contact with the road at all times!! idiot!!
to all you cocks that are saying hes stupid for jumping this bike and not using a jap bike or a jumping bike are missing the point..the xr-750 was breaking world records before all the purpose built jump bikes came along ..bubba is just doing it old school with an iconic piece of machinary.....yes people jump 200ft plus for fun now ..but lets see them jump 120-150ft on a harley xr-750. so in reality.. bubba has a diffrent set of big balls to all the modern guys.they are all good in their own way
Nailed it! What made Evel a stud is that he did these jumps on a regular, heavy beast like this. These commentors are the same ones that think the new Nascar is better than the old. Today's nascars are the farthest thing from stock cars, but they used to be much closer - and more fun to watch.
@bellinghammond hahahah thats a good one. i was like 10 and 100ft away, my first emotion told me to cry, but then i just got angry from all the kids crying around me. i was 2 minutes away from jumping on those horse tracks and spitting on that motherfucker. i wouldve been infamous for it too.. more than 15 minutes of fame id say. DAMN YOU FATE!!! i couldnt though, 'i was supposed to go surfing' hahah
I feel sorry for the bike

@Rainb0wSeven Honda makes some very fine machinery, can't take that away. But HD sells more heavy cruisers. HD doesn't make washing machines or generators or scooters. I was comparing apples to apples.
I like knowing when I buy a HD the profit stays in America.
If foreigners manage to bankrupt American manufacturers we are going to be at their mercy.

@Rainb0wSeven In the 1980's Honda and others ridiculed Harleys as being antiquated, out of style. no good.
Now most every cycle company is building a HD clone. Why is that? If the V-twin is antiquated why copy it? Sometimes they are so similar I have to look twice to know what it is.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
In 1977 I bought a used 1972 Honda 750. Nice. Smooth, and fast, but no resale value. No low end torque, had to shift constantly with two riders.

Bahahahaha! They're not making "clones", any more than GM made "clones" of Model T Fords. The Jap cruisers are infinitely superior to anything made by HD.

@Rainb0wSeven After ridiculing the antique, outdated V-twin for 20 some years, yes they ARE clones dammit. They built their inline twins and fours and insisted it was the only way to go. But now, they have the same V-twin and lines of a Harley so tell me, how is that not copying? IT IS COPYING. Just like the minivan Chrysler invented. COPY.
Keep buying that foreign stuff. Keep sending your money and jobs overseas. One day the job may be yours.
I can bet you have not test driven a Harley lately.

1) HD are not the only company to ever build V-twin engines.
2) The V-twin found in a VTR1000, for example, is VERY different to the type of V-twin used in a Harley.
3) No, I haven't ridden a Harley recently. Why would I? - I own a 2006 Hayabusa, which is faster, handles better, brakes better, is more reliable and is cheaper than a Harley. It's also a lot easier to keep clean.
4) Jap cruisers are infinitely superior to anything made by HD.

5) I live in Australia. ALL bikes are "foreign"; we don't make them here.
6) From what I hear, HD will be relocating most of their manufacturing to Mexico or Thailand. So much for "American Muscle", eh?

@Rainb0wSeven If they do, it will be the last time this girl buys a new one. I have friends who still ride Harley's from the 1940's and 50's. They keep them running so can I. My 2000 Road King has 75,0000 miles on it and it runs perfect. Still gets 45 mpg. I had the fork bearings replaced and that is the only thing that wore out on that bike. Not counting tires!!!

@Rainb0wSeven What are your roads like there? every movie or tube vid I see looks like flatland. If so that would make for boring riding. I love my hilly, curvy roads in WI. Some places are almost like parts of Austria and Germany. Hey, you might not make bikes in Aussyland but you make and awesome chain saw. Husqvarna. My friend has one and man oh man, it devours trees like a beaver on steroids.

Nah, there are plenty of windy roads, mostly in coastal areas. I usually ride in The Royal National Park, which is a very good, twisty bit of road. The flat, boring stuff is mainly out in the desert.
Oh, and I can ride all year around; no snow!
Rainb0wSeven 1 year ago
@Rainb0wSeven OH, your breaking my heart. All year round? One year when the snow was flying it got so bad for me, I booked a trip to Florida so I could rent a Harley and go riding. Hah. All the roads were flat and boring. I stopped for a minute to adjust my glasses and when I looked to my right there was a damned alligator looking right at me. I slammed that bike in gear and left a streak of rubber behind. Never again. Maybe Las Vegas or something.

@Rainb0wSeven You're an ass. Flintstone paid Honda a compliment and all you do is rag at people. 60% of the US market is a big deal. I guarantee if Honda had those numbers your little mind would think it a big deal.
Harley had some bad years, quality problems from management milking the company for profits. The new Harleys are a huge improvement. Smooth, fast, fuel efficient. Wanna compare resale figures? Your foreign bikes can't hold a candle to that. AND YES THEY ARE CLONES. ARE YOU BLIND?
donteverlietome 1 year ago
@donteverlietome
And you haven't ridden a modern Jap bike, have you?
BTW, 60% of US market share is peanuts in comparison to bike sales in the rest of the world. The sole reason HD has such a large US market share is American parochialism, wherein you lot will buy an inferior product simply because it's considered "patriotic" to do so.

to all you cocks that are saying hes stupid for jumping this bike and not using a jap bike or a jumping bike are missing the point..the xr-750 was breaking world records before all the purpose built jump bikes came along ..bubba is just doing it old school with an iconic piece of machinary.....yes people jump 200ft plus for fun now ..but lets see them jump 120-150ft on a harley xr-750. so in reality.. bubba has a diffrent set of big balls to all the modern guys.they are all good in their own way

Nailed it! What made Evel a stud is that he did these jumps on a regular, heavy beast like this. These commentors are the same ones that think the new Nascar is better than the old. Today's nascars are the farthest thing from stock cars, but they used to be much closer - and more fun to watch.
