The set up is soooo much better than old school jumps. He has a bail out to the right, wind at his back, big wide landing area that is ABOVE the launch ramp (makes his actual drop from the peak of his jump less) and it's all dirt for softer landing... Oh, and the bike is waaay better for jumping as well. Still incredible, but yea, preparation is what made this possible.

And he had access to better bikes.

[@hkjl5533]

need more light every way imaginable you’re completely wrong about everything you said. All of it is factually incorrect. It’s 13 inches of travel not 30. His xr750 did not weigh 1000 lbs.....more like 340, and a 450 mx bike weighs 240, not even close to quadruple, not even close to double the weight.

What Evil was doing with a bike with hardly any suspension is way more ballsy then what anyone has done since. That bike he jumped with did not have 13 inches of travel either.

[@VeritableSmorgasbord]

Currently people are trying to break the "official" record. This jump and Alex Harvill's 425 foot jump are apparently unofficial. I don't know who's to say what's official...a Guinness record definitely is, but Maddison's 378 jump was apparently not Guinness-approved because the Guinness record is still his 351 ft. jump from 2008. The 378 jump was at a Red Bull event, though, so I guess it counted as official. Then again, he went 391 in practice for that event, probably the same ramp setup, so what's stopping that from being the official record? Many questions remain.

How did he make it so far? The engineering, math and preparation to jump like that with such huge ballz, is insanity.

[@yamahakid450f]

When coming up with a new ramp design, there's a lot of math, but there is no math involved with speed to hit it, he's got no speed-o anyway. Yeah they record it each jump, but it's all feel, just like any new jump you're going off feel and the sound of the engine, especially if someone hits something first and then they either tow you over or you just go hit it after hearing where they were at in the RPMs. To start doing long distance, they'll set it at say 100+Ft to the sweetspot, which is simple with those ramps, then keep pushing it back more and more until they're at where they are now. Which that wouldn't take long if he got to hit it over and over, what takes a long time is inbetween jumps they'll change stuff like gearing, take away teeth on the rear for more top speed but less torque, then the biggest change which is suspension settings. To do big changes like spring rate and valving, you have to send the fork and shock off, so then you lose multiple days right there. Then also keep hitting the same distance and mess with compression dampening and rebound to see if it helps get you more comfortable before moving it back again. Then its repeat until you have the setting you know can reach 350-400, of course then you have to adjust for either tail wind or head winds, on that i wouldn't jump with a strong head wind and not a chance with a side wind... if you've got your weight slightly to one side or a few millimeters off being straight, on a jump that big, that turns into many ft... it would not take much wind to blow you completely off the landing, its very narrow for a jump like that. But all That is providing you dont go down, break parts, spokes, or Taco a wheel somewhere along the way on landing... which reminds me, after every jump he's putting the bike on the stand to check and tighten spokes, if not a complete bolt check, atleast on the bar mounts, triple tree, and front axel pinch bolts. I have to atleast check my spokes a couple times a day just sessioning regular comp ramps set at 75ft, especially if i ever clip the knuckle with the rear or go a bit deep, or if they're new wheels or spokes. And quite honestly, when it's a jump this size, there's not much timing involved, yes it's massive, takes a lot of time to get there, and the consequences absolutely massive, but it's 5th gear as fast as the bike can go, that's not 'timing'. The hard part is keeping it level on a jump that big, after a certain point, you can no longer use the clutch and hit the rear brake to bring the front end down, you can lock that bitch up and it's still going to keep coming over backwards. So the whole time after leaving the lip, he has to keep it level by continuously alternate betweenvbrake tapping so he doesn't reach the point of no return while also blipping the throttle every now and again to keep it level. If you speed up the rear wheel it increases the inertia and helps bring the front up, or in a flip it'll help it come around if you're slightly under rotating. On a regular ramp, you can basically get the bike almost completely looped out vertically and still be able to brake tap and get the front down, not on a jump like that. That exact thing happened to Axell when he was trying to set a gap record, he had the rear locked up and the front end kept floating up and he landed rear first, when it slapped the front end down it ripped the bars from his hands and he got absolutely shit whipped into the ground then ragdolled.

@yamahakid450f Lmao Jesus Christ no one is going to read all of that

[@MLGtroll365]

a KTM would've split into 2 pieces lmao. Team Honda/Kawi

[@chimpswag3492]

Lol yama/Honda/kawi

[@wasabiemans]

That bike is modified to the balls that frame is probably nowhere near stock

[@spoolinsvt6489]

Watching this video and seeing it is 10 years old. I had a sneaking suspicion this guy has passed away by now and after looking it up. He passed away in 2020. Cause unknown. RIP

[@gretschdrummer3944]

i know he does sound like steve-o

[@allanbiggs1685]

Yeah,but stevo is likeable,this guy makes you want to slap him :-D

[@mikescott779]

Anybody know the name of this song?

[@Skazellino]

Pretty cool but I dont like how they land higher than where they take off from on a lot of today's jumps, also the landing area is HUGE unlike the motorcycle jumpers of old who had a much smaller landing target and took more skill. Evel, Robbie, Gary Wells and Johnny Airtime are my kinda guys.

[@timothyzelensky383]

ok put up a video of you doing this on a ramp sized landing

[@gigafuq8751]

"more skill" evel didnt even train like these guys do, he'd just fang it and go. i wonder why he crashed all the time

[@justincoats7236]

Skazellino I like all the guys you named accept Evil Knievel. He just pinned it and hoped for the best. He didn't train, practice, test suspension, and most people didn't like him.

[@mde1953]

Saw this a few years back on the dvd 'on the pipe 4 another score'

[@badeugenecops4741]

Ryan Capes died Dec 5th 2022. R.I.P. Ya fkn legend.

[@Buddycoop1]

holy cow that's far. but evel is still the king of guts with no suspension on his rides.

[@joootooobboosheet2486]

He was the king of crashing

[@MrJrFish]

Why does Google say Robbie Maddison's jump of 346' on 3/29/20 is the world record?

[@larrythomas6543]

EVEL would be PROUD!!

[@Softail77us]

I love jumping. Unfortunately in my prime before Yamaha's monoshock. Etc. I wonder if anyone has him beat now that's it 2018..

[@jnljnl8485]

do it on an xr750 Harley like a real man. lol jk that's a long flight man.

[@stevefowler1787]

Obviously what he is doing is quite dangerous and impressive, BUT the huge size of his earthen work landing rap makes it much easier/safer to pull off than smaller wooden landing ramps that many of the world's daredevil jumpers have used in the past.

[@LilMilan420]

They were able to use those because they weren’t jumping as far 🤡

[@pippipster6767]

Just trying to figure out who is sponsoring this ?

[@FMX211AL]

Set the stage for true humble talent at the same site unmaintained. RIP Alex Harvill

[@daverupes7022]

This guy is a beast! He's pretty good on a motocross track too!

[@joski9030]

Bet if he wore a street bike helmet he would get 400

[@joski9030]

m1ke2001 People would watch that too! Just taking the piss he did a good job I thought I was boss clearing a 80 foot table on my 450 lol !

[@Smokey7186]

Better aerodynamics actually make sense

[@TexRobNC]

It's cool, and impressive, but with such a hugely elevated landing, at a certain point you negate most of the danger if your landing ramp is so incredibly long

[@ethanbennington819]

pfft I could do that on my skateboard if I had the right shoes.

[@SlshrX]

Vans

Im so glad this was uploaded in 360p (Sarcastic 🙄)
