This is a very short video of an Evil Knievel stunt. I was infatuated with motorcycle jumping when I was a kid groing up. A Knievel jump was magical, dangerous, and something that was on my calendar of must see events.
The next jump I just saw for the first time tonight. It is unhuman!
I guess times have changed.

I can't believe I remember when he was here in Idaho. Jumping the canyon at Twin Falls. 1974
Checking it out! Hi Michelle :-)
Didn't he jump the Grand Canyon and break a billion bones?
Like, 300 of his, and a whole mess of burros below?
JK.
But I remember he was in a lot of spills.
322? That was quite a jump.
You gonna go for double?
C'mon. Get your helmet.
We'll give it a go!
*Strapping on helmet*
*jumping on the back of your bike*
(*bicycle*)
PEDAL, MAN! PEDAL!!!
We gotta break 322 and get over the giant olga bra stretched across this ravine!
*Speedy pedaling like mad. thinks: It would go alot faster withOUT my beautiful assistant on the back of my bicycle!*
*Catching air!*

We'll try again next week.
(Thanks for catching us Olga!)
Dude, when I was a kid growing up I was infatuated with pussy.
Okay speedy it was awesome but fogetaboutit...if everyone jumped of a bridge would you and wendster
do it too?
men are just nuts.
hows about a nice pie eating contest...boston creame for me.
we know your not going to be around much but stunts are not a good way to relieve boredom...how
about a nice tug of rope...girls against the guys?
That was fun!
And Wendsters comments.... hahahaha!
Yep, that is pretty crazy! So when are you going to give it a shot, Speedy? ;-)
Hmmm. That does not look Safe to me. Once, when I was in my stroller, I ran over a worm.
I remember watching Evel Knievel while growing up too. I thought he was crazy as a loon, and it scared me to death to watch him!
ah very cool!!
daisy I so agree with you...maybe it's because we are both beautiful
cats but bikes of any kind scare me to death...unless they have three wheels and my mama could put me in the basket and take me along...yup...that would do it...
OM gosh, you're right, times have certainly changed~ How far was that jump? I remember Evil Knievel's jump long ago. It was a big event. Shortly after, I remember my brother arguing with my parents about getting a motorcycle for Christmas. (Smile)
By the way, there is a chicken hiding on my blog. I just realized that that the chicken is supposed to be mentioned in a post, which he is, but that is not where he is hiding ...and the post title doesn't have the word "chicken" in it. I hope that doesn't mean we're (the chicken and I) are disqualified-
(laughing) I hope you're not working too hard.
By the way, what song is in your head today? Mine is, Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head.
Have a great holiday weekend Speedy~
e-hug and cheers~
Annie
