Mike - Yeah Robbie came up short . Used the wrong gearing so he could'nt get the speed up . Gary had to make a right hand turn at about 75 MPH on a dirt bike. They actually had to make an asphalt berm . Gary DOES fall into the Ramp -Ramp cat. Only recently has he stooped using one. Evel coming up short was not the whole reason he crashed , The safety deck failing was the biggest factor . Altough he goes over the bars he first goes back from then rear wheel hitting the edge of the Landing ramp . Hit's the Chute Box Then over the bars. Mike had to do only about 40+ to make it
I don't consider it significant since I'm sure it was a Red Bull well choreographed foam pit suspended harness well practiced stunt...not seat of the pants make it or break it daredevil act.
