MD FAN I am 68 years old and retired and no I cannot and was never offered the money to attempt but one thing for sure there are a huge amount of talent out there that can with the right equipment. Some of them are listed on the Jumper page including Earnie Adams comes to mind. There is also some who have paid their price for attempting to do what they did and some are still doing it like Gene Sullivan who I would love to see also be a jumper of the month.
The site has a mission statement and I wish it would follow instead of turning this into a Knievel site.
Way to go Travis Pastrana!
Maybe now that someone other than the name of Knievel will get some publicity on this site.
Pastrana is one heck of a rider, not the showman that Evel was but most certainly a nice guy who has done more on a motorcycle and other stunts than anyone of memory.
Evel has been the Jumper of the Month several times a year and there are plenty of others that should have the publicity. Robby is another one.
So maybe now you guys can find the time to find out about others who have kept the art of ramp to ramp jumping alive that you can cheer for. Travis is probably not your favorite right now but the guy deserves our respect. He did what others said they were going to do.
