BTW Patman, Robbie isn't a joke.
Well, just shoot me! Take away all my mojo.......... Wait, that's already gone.. :) Anyway, I'm not doing 120foot jumps and I know I never will. I enjoy all the buildup and think he's a pretty good guy. His thing is jumping and spectacle... he does it well. I know he isn't the only one who can do it, and he also hasn't done it the farthest. I just don't think he is a total joke. If what he was doing was so easy we wouldn't have a Injury recovery forum. Let's not totally slam the guy.Originally posted by Offroadr

That is sad. Evil doesn't have to prove anything to us or anybody else. I'd hate to see him get hurt. :(
You are probably right. He definately has his own agenda. I still ask the question, WHEN did he say he was going to do this??Originally posted by dirty~d~
Mike, he's doesn't do what he does to prove anything to anyone... the guy just does it cause he can. And cause he's a loony. :)

Okie, age has everything to do with. With age comes pain from all the stupid things we did in our younger/glory years. And Evel has had many of those. Lets see, hip replacements, liver transplants, every bone boken in his body. I really would love to see him do this. But MikeT is right on. What does he have to prove? I to, would hate to see him get hurt.

Heck I'd fight Mike Tyson for say $750,000! Big deal, get the tar beat out of ya' then count your coin. :)
Dirtyd, like I said before, age has everything to do with it. Just like you said, you are only 24. What do you think it will feel like at 64? And Evel has had just a few more breaks and alot worse done to him. No offense to your injury, crap like that sucks. But like I said, age is everything. You can't tell me you've never yelled at a blue hair driving 20 in a 55. Because they don't have the reaction like they use to ;)Originally posted by dirty~d~
I have a semi-permanent hairline fracture in my hip joint at age 24... I still ride dirt, play hockey, horseback ride... etc. Does it hurt? Yep, every day... do I let it bother me? Nope. (Wow, that's almost poetic. I should write that down.)
What IS his job? Pretty much everything I've seen him do could be accomplished with a badly dressed store mannequin set on a MX bike with a stuck throttle. Come to think of it didn't Mattel have an EK Stunt Cycle that worked like that? :think: I believe Gomer has come pretty close to RK's stature, he did wear a pink tutu & flowered hat while riding monster wheelies on a bike with no seat.Originally posted by Wraith
Sure, Robbie may be no Seth, Pastrana and all those other guys. But how many on this board can say TV crews line up and air a jump you are going to do? And then get a little money for it afterwards? Anyone. Sure he may be a joke. But I bet anyone on this site would trade jobs with him any day :p
Bla Bla Bla. Patman we love ya but you aren't doing any 220 foot jumps anytime soon and neither am I, or anyone else for that matter that we know. Robbie might dress funny to you, but he still does the jumps and people love to see him do it. Yes, I will watch his next jump whenever it is on TV.Originally posted by Patman

Now, that said, I grew up with Evil as my hero like a lot of you..........I don't want to see him go out in a blaze of glory. I'd rather think of my childhood hero as comfortably getting old with his family and playing with his grandkids.
