Metzger Jumping the Fountains at Caesars Palace

[NickzWalkthroughs]

really? evel did everything with no speedometer..all by feel..on a fucking harley..let any of theses assholes today try that!

[DancingSpiderman]

There sure are a lot of boogered-up red-headed stepchildren venting their anger on this YourTube video comment area

SHUT UP YA SISSIES !! You are late for yer booger session from yer uncle!

BWAAhahaha

[schplurg]

Not to mention Evel jumped on a friggin HARLEY with practically zero suspension! Evel is/was the man!

[tbgx1]

Evel is the King. There is no second place, no runner up. The rest of the names don't matter.

Elvis was also the King. No second place.

The Dogtown skaters will always be the coolest skaters.

These are just the facts of life.

[bdepee]

But through a fucking backflip into the picture and then see what evel and gary and robbie can do. lol anyone can say when you can do better you can bash it you fuckhead!

[silverfang8215]

I seriously doubt all of you that bash KnieveI could do better than him. My stepdad is a motorcycle mechanic, he does own his own shop, when I was 14 I started working for him part time. I've come to respect and agree with stepdad's attitude of "When you can do better, than you can talk." Metzger doesn't look like he can do better than Robbie Knievel. This distance was 70 ft. less than what Robbie Knievel, Gary Wells and Evel Knievel tried, though Gary and Evel failed, they had guts.

[masonvega114]

Well I can do better , hell my little brother has more style than robbie knievel. Maddo has jumped twice the distance robbie ever has and not off of some lame ski jump and maddo actually has style. Second have you ever even ridden a motorcyle, flipping those fountains takes way more skill than all the lengthwise jumps before metzger. Robbie Knievel is a drunk loser why do u think they pulled all his new years jump video's???? Cuz everyone was sayin what a fool he was hahahahahahaha.

[silverfang8215]

Try saying that in a million years. I worked at a motorcycle shop part time, Of course I've ridden a motorcycle. You can't prove all that crap you're bragging about and until you do, put a cork in your mouth. You probably can't do these jumps and I bet you don't even have the balls to try.

[masonvega114]

Yea well I really dont care what a hack like u thinks so thats fine with me, and i didnt say i was better than metzger . Im not super good at freestyle but at least i can do seat grabs and little tricks like that.Hell I could do a heelclicker back when i was ten and all robbie can do is lame no handers and loop out of every jump he hits hahahaha.

[rainmanx63]

Why dont you and your stepdad go borrow a couple of motorbikes from the shop and take a road trip to Vegas and jump over the fountains. Crash your brains out, backflip, whatever. Just get the shit on video, then post it here on youtube. Then you can bash Metzger. Until then, you can just envy him. Anyone who doesn't give all three of these guys respect points out to everyone how much of a loser they are themselves.

[mzagas]

who cares who is better,

its not bout whose better or noting, its all bout riding and having fun, so who caress,

[rockchild5]

You bastards that talk shit about evil need to get your heads out of your asses. Everyone should pay respect to Evil, he did something no one had ever heard about. He tried to jump this thing on a FUCKING TRIUMPH!!!! No suspension, straight forks. Granted What metzer did here was amazing, Im sure Evil would've done it if he had this technology. JoeRM, you need to understand this. Evil was great, and born before his time.

[JoeRM125]

evel was on a harly!

i didnt slate evel, i slated the people who dont give people respect for upping their game

[quaheedus]

Nope, this was before he started using Harley..he was on a Triumph Bonneville.

[JoeRM125]

hahah i respect evel knievel lots, i was just after a reaction out of one of the morons who had already replied.

[jshurd]

Evel NEVER Evil!!

[silverfang8215]

Mike Metzger's a pussy. This takeoff height was at least twice the height of the jumps attempted by Evel Knievel, Gary Wells and Robbie Knievel, and one other that died because he didn't make this jump. That greater height was the ONLY reason this pussy was able to backflip this one. Metzger has not any of the success of Evel Knievel or his son, Robbie. Gary and the Knievels have a lot more balls than this little motocross punk.

[psycomoto192]

Wait a minute...Evel Will live on in the books...He tryd this jump and crashed...I think if Evel had the Bikes we have today he would have succeeded on every attempt..My God..His son Robbie jumped the Grand canyon..These guys are deffinately a spectical...Every trick ...jump...and backflip..puts them at risk...Moto X RULES>>>

[LonestarDesperado]

Robbie jumped a narrow slot canyon carved by a tributary of the Colorado River. (If you've ever been to the rim of the Grand Canyon, you'll understand that the distance is too great to be cleared by a simple combustible-engined machine)

Then he broke his leg when his landing pad wasn't long enough and he busted ass after rolling across a few feet of unpaved surface.

When he can do a backflip over anything, I'll consider him more than just a hack making a living off his daddy's name.

[JoeRM125]

evel is dead, metzger isnt.....

Metzger rocks.

its easy for you guys to slate mike metzger, from your arm chairs, when you struggle to even jump in the bath.

Old boys need to STFU and realise us young guys are the future, and the past is over.

[quaheedus]

Maybe hes dead because Evel was 69 years old and Metzger is 32! Evil also contracted Hepatitis-c through blood transfusions in one of his 14 surgeies he had...they did not screen blood for Hep,aids etc at that time. Maybe you need to shut the F up because Metzger got the whole Caesars palace Idea from the Knievel jump.I guarantee you he is a fan of Evel and would not dog Evel as you have done.

[quaheedus]

All you can do in your videos is some power braking and a few wheelies dragging your ass? You bad Mouth Knievel.. lets see you get a Harley XR 750 and Junp 14 buses..actually lets see you jump anything on a XR750!

[cfx5000]

Evel lives forever punk.

[MilwaukeeLAX]

the dragonforce is a nice touch

[ccampbelll]

Evel did his jumps on a harley that was 900 pounds these new bikes are only about 250

[chachinggg43]

yea he didnt do a back flip though

[surfing636]

It's all good, starting with Evel, old school at it's best, charting new frontiers! New breed with high-tech equipment still pushing forward, pushing the limits. Bottom line, broken bones and more still the price to pay for a bad landing.

[cny123]

Evel had guts and nerve something the PUNKS these days very much lack unless they have guns or hiding behind a computer. Additionally the man kept going even while his injuries hadn't healed. Whats really discerning is the fact people bitch and complain about someone making a honest living. He paid his dues and some. Get a life ..get off your ass and do something positive!!

[Garveergor]

Exactly, it's all money and circus now. Knievel was a real Don Quixote. As for Metzger, cool jump, but...did anyone remember the 4th man on the moon simply because he did a back-flip? No. Knievel invented this sport and all who come after will always pale in comparison. Evel's gone and a part of our culture died with him. I'm 40 and I cried when I saw that he had passed. Never another like Evel.

[GloomyGrayDonkey]

People, while Metzger is just stupid-good, remember that his bike was set up for jumps like this. Evel's bike was stock, a bike ANYONE could own, nothing fancy about it. I wanna see Metzger try that on one of Evel's old bikes. I'm not to sure he would even TRY to do it. Yes, Metzger is good, but Evel had gonads of titanium....

[dlchambers]

"gonads of titanium" - god damn right.

[reditreefrog]

That guy has balls of steel...Huge back flip.

[EV150]

Evel Knievel couldn't hold a candle to this guy. For fuck sakes he couldn't even spell his first name properly. EVEL? IT'S EVIL! Gah! What a meat head!

[ybonk]

hey you idiot his name was robert. evel was his nickname and he spelt it like that because his last name is knEVEL

now whos the meat head???

[EV150]

Are you gonna cry?

[tedperez]

Your ignorance is amazing! Evel is the only true stuntman and this guy could even hold his nuts. Besides, he jumped the fountain sideways; the shortest distance. Even(and yes that is how you spell his name, not the act of bien bad!) did it the long way. RIP Evel, you are a true legend.

[Garveergor]

You're a true loser. Metzger had 40 years in order to get over those fountains---Evel invented the concept. Metzger is an imitator. There's an old saying:" If you can see genius, you are one". You're a moron trapped in the modern day with no concept of, or respect for, the greatness that came before you. Enjoy your next video game, loser.

[ZipTang63]

I made darn sure I watched this on T.V. like I used to do back in the day when Evel was on T.V. Mike Metzger has sack but there's only one Evel Knievel...

[BuckNekkid3000]

i'd like to see him try that on a harley

[MCRYFZ19]

Id like to see a back flip on a harley... just enjoy history and don't be a buzzkill, dooshbag.

[BuckNekkid2003]

you like to name call huh? how about this? you're a dumbass. i said it was unbelievable and i said no one can replace Evel. You sure can't argue with that. oh..one more thing. you're a fucking asshole.

[BuckNekkid3000]

Unbelievable... But no one can ever, ever replace Evel... No one.. and nobody can argue with that.

[korsager]

sick!

[80smusiclvr]

cooler when evel knievel did it

[madmobe]

[malikmamen]

[bigjaydaddy]
