This is not intended to insult or cause problems. Just wondered if you spoke personally with Robbie and your intent to attempt some sort of Canyon jump. Perhaps you know more than you want to tell if you did discuss it. You mentioned seeing him at Evel Days and he looked good. The rest of us are kind of hung out to dry on this issue. Some care, some didn't care for Robbie or his accomplishments at all which is confusing to me if you are a true "daredevil" cyclejumping fan. If he is retired, fine, no problem with that, he has earned retirement the hard way. click on robbieknievel.com and it says "site under construction". He hasn't abandoned it, definitely needed updating. Maybe all our questions will be answered soon by him. The reporter who wrote about your Twin Falls interview needs to reword the beginning of the article. Saying you are going to do "what Evel couldn't do". He was a man of his word, knowingly climbed into a doomed rocket and took it as far as it would go, no control over that. Him blacking out due to the G force and accidentally hitting the chute button is a version i never had heard of before. I honestly think his odds for success were considerably higher than yours based on how you will attempt to get to the other side. That said, like ya Big Ed, never met ya, but you are a cyclejumping daredevil. Good luck.
