: It would had to have involved multiple people
: to move the ramp being how long it was.
: Moving the end near the fountains 3 or 4
: inches wouldn't have affected the rest of
: the ramp. The entire ramp from beginning to
: end would had to have been moved. It just
: doesn't seem plausible although, not
: impossible.

: I know Spanky who was there told me after
: Gary crashed he went to the ramps and saw
: they were not aligned . He had worked a lot
: with his brother in law Rex Blackwell
: settting up his and his own for car jumps.
: If he tells me they were off they were off.
: It could be Gary didnt know or want to think
: they could have lined them up wrong. He may
: have not yet talked to Spanky and/or . maybe
: was told not to say what had happened due
: to possible lawsuits , the involved parties
: Gary ,CP . Injured fans may have been
: thinking of filing. Now I do not believe
: Evel or a 17 year? old Robbie had moved
: anything . Could someone have sit on or
: leaned against the ramp and moved the either
: the top 4 inches right or bottom 4 "s
: left ? Hell Yes. Gary comes out and
: believes his ramps are still lined from
: earlier in the day. And goes for it. John
: how about getting in touch with Gary and
: doing a 35th Annv story of the jump ? The
: ramp "issue" the late ABC film

: If they said the ramp was moved or off by 2
: degrees how did they know this ? The story
: about the ramp being moved was never
: mentioned when Gary was interviewed later
: that year and also when he appeared on
: That's Incredible. Gary said he didn't know
: what went wrong and said he wanted to go
: back to Caesar's Palace to find out what
: went wrong. In was only in 1989 that the
: ramp being moved was even mentioned. Gary
: can be seen walking up the ramps before the
: jump and appeared to have no problem with
: the look of it.
