Robbie Knievel to Jump 16 Buses
posted: Wednesday 30 December 2009 by Toni M. in: News Video Harley-Davidson
Robbie Knievel has announced that he will attempt to jump over 16 buses, June 12th 2010 in London.
Robbie 47, will be using a Harley Davidson XR- 750 same motorcycle model his father Evel Knievel used in his failed attempt at Wembley Stadium in 1975, but he’ll be trying to jump 16 buses, 3 more that his father tried to do. The current record is 15 buses held by stuntman Bubba Blackwell.
On May 25th 1975, Robbie’s legendary father took to Wembley to jump over 13 buses and crashed in front of an audience of 90,000, breaking his pelvis that almost ended his career, but Evel was back jumping just five months after the accident.
“I always wanted to do the Wembley jump that my dad attempted and failed. Daredevils are a dying breed. I’m proud to have been raised by one and to be one myself.”

Congratulations to Randy Hawkins making it into the The AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Class of 2009!
The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) is pleased to announce the first member of the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Class of 2009, each of whom will be revealed in random order over the next few weeks. Among the honorees who will take to the stage at the Hard Rock Hotel
& Casino in Las Vegas this Dec. 5 will be seven-time AMA National Enduro Champion Randy Hawkins.
"In the world of off-road racing, one of the toughest sports on the planet, there are few who can match the stellar accomplishments of Randy Hawkins," said AMA President and CEO Rob Dingman. "From the late 1980s through the '90s, Randy made it look easy, dominating the AMA National Enduro Championships, while carrying the flag proudly in international competition."
AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famer Jack Penton, co-chairman of the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Off-road Committee, added: "Randy is one of the most worthy off-road riders, and his record and the amount of time that he's contributed to the sport are just phenomenal. Most fans know that Randy's a seven-time AMA National Enduro Champion, but he's also an 18-time rider at the ISDE (International Six Days Enduro), many of those times on the Team USA Trophy Team. That puts Randy in the top 10 in the world in ISDE appearances, and it's part of the reason he's successfully mentored so many other riders over the years." |
