: Wells attempts caesars palace fountain jump
: with interviews . At 41 seconds pause. That

: I'm a little confused by what you wrote Mike
: on "his leg is laying from knee to foot
: on top of the ramp". The one pic that
: Dave provided showing him at the bottom of
: the ramp shows his left foot on the foot peg
: with a slit exposing his knee directly
: above. Is this what you were referring to?
: The reason I keep harping on this is because
: some have said that the smudge mark on the
: landing ramp looks like his foot when his
: foot is clearly on the peg.

: Trust me Gary was in complete control of the
: bike . And rather he thought he was going to
: move the bike back in line with the ramp OR
: Get away from the ramp . He is not crossed
: up due to being out of control . I believe
: human nature would make a person aim for the
: ramp . Another thing Gary was a flat track
: racer . And you steer the bike or sprint car
: or semi in the direction you want it to go .
: Gary's dad Ralph was running a BMX track in
: Phoenix before he died. And showed me a
: close up pic of him hitting the ramp . The
: bike is in a "wheelie" laying
: against it . And his leg is laying from knee
: to foot on top of the ramp . Which was a
: flat bed trailer . Nasty

: But if he knew he was going to land on the
: right side of the ramp (looking from his
: view) he made it worse by crossing up the
: motorcycle to the right instead of the left.
: In fact if he didn't cross up the motorcycle
: at all the chances are he would have landed
: on the landing ramp even if it was a little
: to the right. Instead he crossed the
: motorcycle to the right and that caused the
: bike to move even further to the right.
