Watch along with 40,000 people at Kings Island, as Robbie Knievel successfully jumps his motorcycle over 24 delivery trucks. Visit Cincinnati.Com, keyword: video, for more.
Why so much hate in these comments? His dad was a legend. Created a career for himself. His son watched and learned from his dad. His dad spent the last two decades managing his son. Perhaps he chose that bike because he didn't want to wind up in the hospital like his daring dad had done so many times. Until someone actually gets on a bike and jumps a couple hundred feet and lands perfectly, no one should say a negative thing. Especially about anyone's nationality. Thanks for posting this!
LOL! So I have to jump a couple hundred feet to say something. Did you jump you must have but landed on your head to make such a ridiculous argument. 😭
He landed a bit short on the safety deck. Its a good thing these bikes can take it !!. Evel landed short at the palace and that old triumph just threw him over the bars. It's great to see Robbie carrying on in his fathers footsteps because let's face it , evel knievel invented this stuff way back.
met Robbie when we both around 10 years old or so. his dad was calling him "captain" even then. nice kid, real relaxed, I was nervous as hell with my Pops, and he took us up close to see Evel's bikes that were at the jump.
Knievel's a smart man. The last four trucks were covered by the extended landing ramp. I've seen other jumpers that could've avoided death if they would've took the same precaution.
His back wheel hit the flat. Robbie used modern motorcycle technology so the quality back shock he was using took the impact well. If he was jumping on Evils older motorcycle, the back wheel would have shot up and he would have gone endo and out of control like Evil used to do when coming up short.
incase you missed it thats not what would have happened. Evel missed one just like this and broke the rim and still made it. another time he came up short and the frame cracked and collapsed, he still made it. Then there was the time that he missed the ramp completely, well he didn't make that one but the bike survived.
Robbie is a fantastic stunt man...in his own right..u support Robbie..I saw him in person in 1993 .. he jumped here in miss issippi...I was totally blown away by his courage ...great man
If Evil had the bikes we have today he would have jumped farther than anyone and maybe less crashes. I enjoyed growing up with my Evil Knievel stunt set
he hit the saftey ramp if eveil did that on the harley he would have been throw off !!! the harley had no i mean no suspention robbie got away with thinks that his dad couldnt robbies bike was so much better made to land on a flat surface and not throw him off plus the bike was almost 200 pounds lighter
yeah I agree with the comments about how he didn't jump the physical trucks but rather the distance the trucks represent,which certainly is awesome all by itself but notice how the last 3 or 4 trucks are pulled back... it's not hard to observe the physics of motorcycle jumping.......look at the 300ft jumps done off gigantic "earth made" ramps by motocross guys.How far downward do they have to fall in order to achieve the distance?(ie ski jummping).That said, Evel Knievel was a true innovator,an American folk hero and a genuine dardevil. I'm not sure he was a very nice person but that's ok.Robbie has made an amazing number of sucessfull jumps and as Shadoninja points out, on a completely different bike.Robbie is great in his own right and deserves his props...but his Dad Evel,(Robert Craig) essentially created the sport,and at least,brought it to our attention.
Suspension or not, it takes balls. The Grand Canyon jump was my favorite. He got tossed like a rag doll at the end of that one. Still though if the bike blew a tire etc. then down he'd go to the bottom of the canyon.
I have so much respect for Robbie, to follow such a great showman (Legend) footsteps like he has and to push himself to do these fantastic and dangerous jumps, He is just as good as watching his father and im positive Evel is surely proud of him. Robbie is a lot different to his Dad, A lot more relaxed and uses much better bikes, Evel had a liking for Honda's and even worked selling them. Ok u see freestyle riders and the Metal Mulisha do as good if not better out in the desert and shows, but im sure every one of them would have 100% respect for Robbie and his Dad. The king died, Long live the Prince.... R.I.P Evel
actually, he did NOT make the full jump... he hit the last one. good thing for the safety ramp. Robby Knievel was Greatness, just like his dad, one of my heroes
Never ceases to amaze me that people will get excited and cheer about other people doing incredibly stupid things. All this guys does is ride a motorcycle and jump it over large distances, exactly was is so inspiring about that? That he has a fast bike? That he ignores his common sense?
He was so vertical when he hit that landing ramp I thought the bike was going to throw him off. It nearly did when you watch the slow-mo replay. The rear end of the bike almost bucked him off. He took one hell of a bounce upon landing. Feet were way up in the air off the foot pegs😬
There's a iOS game called Daredevil Dave, and if you set the camera up as first person, it's pretty cool how the speed must be perfect to 1 or 2 mph for the jump to be successful. That and of course, the angle of the takeoff ramp. Obviously I haven't jumped over cars and as a preteen, we would use a makeshift ramps and jump over stuff with our bicycles. I went over the handlebars a few times but came out of it just scraped up. Kids wanted to be like Evel Knievel. Robbie has done very well.
The danger is not on the first ramp,it is on the landing ramp. That spinning wheel plus the angle of the bike when it touch the ramp it’s a go or a no go.
The ramp at the end has a horizontal piece built over the last 4 trucks, so that doesn't count imo, because that way they could have built that piece of ramp over the last 10 trucks, and still come up with the same excuse that it's the distance that counts, so the ramp is there just in case.
His main jumping bike was actually a Harley XR750 built for dirt-track racing. But still hardcore considering the Japanese had started building motocross bikes in the late 60s which Evel wouldn't be caught dead on.
i mean, hes got balls to do it. but its not that big of deal. you know how many people can make that jump on a dirt bike? dirt bikes are made for that. what made evil knievel so cool was that he had just a harley street bike. not made for jumping. suspension sucked for jumps, but he had the nuts to do it on just a regular bike. ROBBIE KNEIVEL HAS DONE A JUMP SO AWSOME THAT THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE CAN DO!
I wish Robster all the best. One thing...quit with trying to out do your pops in the personal abuse category. Stop drinking and doing drugs! You have a calling, folks look up to you. God bless.
I talked to Robbie knievel's agent about hiring Robbie to appear at an event I was sponsoring ...but his agent more or less talked me out of it because his agent told me that you never know in what condition Robbie will show up in...his agent told me he has known to show up real drunk and mouthy....so I chose not to hire him...didn't want him showing up drunk at an event that kids would attend...this was back in 2009.
wheelsupz28 - not saying you're lying... there's no reason for you to make shit up, but what's the point in having an agent that talks people out of hiring him. I guess it was because kids would be there. Anyway, time for Robbie to get sober or get a new agent. Of course, maybe he already has since 2009. Hope so...

I can NOT believe he made that landing... as smooth as he did, given the details.
What. A. Landing.
Harley Davidson 750xl
@@geraldknight7978 Harley xr750
Like Father, Like Son. He Learned From The Master.

say what ever you want, it takes balls of steel to do these stunts!
Better bikes, more science, less guessing than his crazy brave Dad.
met Robbie when we both around 10 years old or so. his dad was calling him "captain" even then. nice kid, real relaxed, I was nervous as hell with my Pops, and he took us up close to see Evel's bikes that were at the jump.
Robbie has a lot better bikes to make those jumps but you still need big balls to do it. Great job Robbie!
When was Robbie? Popular?
@@corrinedirks1601 really??? 😂😂😂

Big difference between a HD XR750 and a Honda CR 500.

Any jump you can walk away from
...Was a good jump!
Any landing you can walk away from
...Was a good landing!
If Evil had the bikes we have today he would have jumped farther than anyone and maybe less crashes. I enjoyed growing up with my Evil Knievel stunt set
If only his father had a CR500 Honda instead of that death-trap Harley Davidson.
NAILED IT!!!! Evel would be proud!!!
Dad was the man ! Robbie please stop while your ahead ! Thanks again EK for the time you spent with us kids that night. 🇺🇸😎
Damn. What else can you say? What guts
That was a perfect landing. Straight and with the front wheel keeping the balance.
Is evil had the bike that Robbie had he would have been able to jump anything and never crash!
exactly!!!!!!!!!
Always loved robbie !!
Kings Island! I miss that place!
When You Watch It On TV, It Doesn't Look That Far. But When You See It In Person, You'll Say: "WWWOOOWWW... That's A Long Ass Jump"!!! 😮
I guess this was back in the Days before the knowledge of the magic a little tap in the rearwheel-brake do to your pitching flight.
I so loved that movie as a kid
This video shows you in demostration that anything is possible when you put your mind to it!!
He got damn lucky on that landing.
Great jump Robbie!
When you learn from the best you end up being the best. RIP Captain Robbie.
*Great Jump by Robbie*
He barely made that jump. Damn, it was within feet of missing. it would've definitely killed him had he missed.
Thank god for safety platform ramps cause that's what he landed on.
Considering the other injuries he's experienced, I'm not so sure about your "killed him" comment...

Beautiful, perfect jump!!
insane! respect!
I would say he made his dad proud
RIP bro! You were awesome!!! Like father like son.
Best ever Captain Robbie !!!!!
he didn't crash because he wasn't using a harley
Amen to the cr500
Actually if you do it right you can do it on a Harley
@@kingkota2302 can you

yOU talk alot and say Nothing just Like Clintons !
Not a foot to spare. So many damn trucks that was incredible.
Woooooahhh! Booom!!! I wish I could've seen that in person :)
Suspension or not, it takes balls. The Grand Canyon jump was my favorite. He got tossed like a rag doll at the end of that one. Still though if the bike blew a tire etc. then down he'd go to the bottom of the canyon.
On Dirt Bike ! His Daddy Jumped a Harley !
Jeremy Owww my eye Stephens lmao you got a point there😂
Balls ? Hell I'm afraid of falling if I get out of my recliner to fast lol.....
I was there. Drove from eastern Pennsylvania

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU, AND ROBBIE 'KAPTAIN KNIEVEL' IS A BADASS!!
Doug danger also.....
actually, he did NOT make the full jump... he hit the last one.
good thing for the safety ramp.
Robby Knievel was Greatness,
just like his dad, one of my heroes
The landing was gold ! As good as his Dad in his own time
The biker body position before the bike touches the ramp is very important. You move the torso forward to bring the front wheel down.
OH...MY...FUCKING...GOD
If that was on his dad's bike, he would have crashed so incredibly hard there haha
ROBBIE 'KAPTAIN KNIEVEL' IS A BADASS!!
i did a show for robbie in daytona
hes a kool guy
I remember when Fonzie jumped the trash cans. Blew this away.
Never ceases to amaze me that people will get excited and cheer about other people doing incredibly stupid things.
All this guys does is ride a motorcycle and jump it over large distances, exactly was is so inspiring about that? That he has a fast bike? That he ignores his common sense?
Insanity, my god this is insane!
...Beautiful jump!
Amazing skills.
He came up a little short and landed on the safety ramp.Thank God for safety ramps.
i would of been shitting bricks
he is the number one

His dad was crazy cause he did it on a street bike!!!!!!!!
The bike saved him from eating crap.

wow go Rob🔥🔥🔥
evels records will neer really be broken because no one is insane enough to do it the way he did it
rockhard you know the longest jump on a motorcycle is 391 feet right?
SlimShaynie ... bet it wasn't on XR750 or a bike of that vintage? That's the point.
Chris McClellan Good point.
rockhard exactly
rockhard haha true - sort of just eyeball it and guess
The danger is not on the first ramp,it is on the landing ramp. That spinning wheel plus the angle of the bike when it touch the ramp it’s a go or a no go.
right on !

If that's the case Evel missed every jump he attempted.
Captain nose high every jump lol
...is the fire really necessary?
Evel jumped using a cafe racer. That is hardcore.
right, hardly any suspension travel, which is why he bounced on landing. and why he wrecked so much. Steel Balls
My fore fathers used to shit in a bucket and throw it in the street. That's basic hard core.
His main jumping bike was actually a Harley XR750 built for dirt-track racing. But still hardcore considering the Japanese had started building motocross bikes in the late 60s which Evel wouldn't be caught dead on.
That wasn't no goddamn cafe racer. Learn your bikes youngster.
awesome...
Robbie Knievel ain't got anything on Robbie Madison anymore.
Is that first guy a time traveler from a 1980s nascar race?
He did an RWS, except RWS didn't have the safety deck.
That was awesome!! Mad respect to RK
I thought that was the first time he ever landed without crashing but then I saw at the end that it was Robbie.
i mean, hes got balls to do it. but its not that big of deal. you know how many people can make that jump on a dirt bike? dirt bikes are made for that. what made evil knievel so cool was that he had just a harley street bike. not made for jumping. suspension sucked for jumps, but he had the nuts to do it on just a regular bike.

Unreal!
This would have been a warmup jump for Mike cinqmars, may he Rest In Peace.
He has broke tons of records on both dirtbike and Harley Davidsons search him on TH-cam he is freaking sick
I want to see him do it on a Triumph...like his dad. Dirtbikes, dont count.
The jump he did on a dirt bike is impossible on a triumph its barely possible on a dirtbike
Can’t be made on his dad’s bike so why not see him go further on a dirt bike?
Dirtbikes don't count? My ass!!
He is from outer space 👽👾👽👽👾👽👽

I've heard he has for over 4 years,...
What kind of an agent would encourage you not to hire his client lol?
Since when did Evel or Robbie do kids shows? If ya wanted kids entertained ya shoulda got a clown.
Almost Gary wells’d it
goddamn he cased that hard
And I thought I was brave standing up on my riding lawnmower.....
Someone tell the promoters, the flames and explosions detract from the jump.
Nice to meet u knievel rip
The captain Robbie kanevel
Just made it by 3 inches!! If he would have hit the flat part it was over!!
That’s crazy 😮
The entire crowd are related.
Addictions kill
how did the Knievel family ride on these motorcycles with balls as big as theirs.
He made it coz of that bike with the equipment his dad had to jump with no comparison thats y evel sensor was the true iconic jump master rip evel
I am da world's greatest daredevil!!!! I am Flaming cheetah
I'm not so sure about the very last one. Seems like the ramp was on top of it! 😂🤣😅

He made a great jump no drought ,but he did land on the last one he is lucky he didn't crash......
