To attempt the jumps he did on that pile of shit he was riding I'd have to agree.

What's up Myersdork?
Since you likely have held Evel's ball's, your probably right.

That's what I was thinking.
Jumping on that 300lb tub took some big balls.

Seth has some pretty big grapes of his own too but Evel was the original.

Seth was a 90's video star...for his time he went big but the distant jumpers today go way bigger.

Robbie Madison is the new Seth...he throws down hard in FMX, distance jumping and i heard he races/raced aussie nationals.

Nod to Evel..

I figured they must have at least stripped a little stuff off that ball of lead.

300 or 400 either way I can't believe that thing ever left the ground.........lol.

Leaving the ground didn't really seem like it was the issue.

Factor in sponsors like Red Bull or Monster that are spending big money on engineers to design the takeoffs, landings, misc equipment, plus all the practice they get at high dollar practice facilities. Not taking anything away from Maddo or anyone current, technology advances and that's that, its what is helping them go bigger, faster, further. Look at Evil jumping on that Hog, it was big at the time and there was little to no prep. Same can be said for Seth, what did his crew have? A radar gun and the weather report from Dr. George, dude was winging it for sure, only he had a better bike that Evel. I can appreciate the casino roof top to roof top jump that Robbie Knievel was doing in Vegas and Seth poached the hell out of that. While Robbie is doing his TV promo's and on air buildup, Seth and crew throw his bike in an elevator, come out on the roof and huck that thing site unseen. That is all balls, it don't matter what era. Maddo and that Levi snowmobile kid, they are all balls as well, what will be said 15 years from now when 400 ft is nothing but a step up?

I've never heard of the Seth/ R Knievel casino poach, and I'd consider a pretty big Seth Fan. You say sight unseen...is there no video/pictures of this? About what year, early 2000s I'd assume?

Seth and Bubba are doing Bubba days or something like that in Aus. You pay and get to ride with them and they do ink on the road as well. Seth went big when going BIG wasn't in.....he went 240 to flat with nobody there to calculate his ramp to dirt hit......he launched 200' off the top of a sand dune to flat......broke a bike completely in half........go check out the crazy setup he was jumping with Colin Morrison on the 500. They needed a kicker ramp to get enough speed down the hill to hit the main ramp to go as far as possible.....he came up short, blew apart both wheels, his femur and cartwheeled 200' down the hill.....

Pastrana backflipped a Harley. Seth and Evil don't hold a candle to Pastrana. Now quit talking about their balls.

Maybe it was someone else in that crew or circle. I remember reading or hearing about it, but I could be wrong. It was Johnny Airtime that jumped two casino roofs, the Mint, not RK.
