He's a lot smotther than his Dad ever was.I wonder if he throws down a shot or 2 of wild turkey before the run like dear old dad...so what kind of bike does Robbie use for jumping?
The percentage you're paying is too high-priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams

I would like to see him do it on an old HD or Triumph like his dad, until he does that I don't consider dads record broken. The bike he uses is set up to do that. Balanced better and much more suspension travel.

didn't mean it that way Jack ,just voicing my opinion.
Also didn't mean to imply what he did was easy, just not nearly as hard as what his dad did.

No one ever accused Evel of being the sharpest tool in the shed. He's American icon and a hero of mine as I grew up.
His daredevil jumps influenced me and I'm sure one on the reasons I begin riding when I was 12.
RIP brother, and thumbs up to Robbie for keeping the flame burning.

I think he uses a Honda CR500 to do his jumps. With the advances in motocross suspension, it's certainly nothing like what his Dad had to ride. Looking at the landing of the Kinds Island jump, I doubt that anyone would've kept the bike upright if it was an old Harley or Triumph like his old man used to jump with.
