I think the most bad ass about this jump was when he taped he's rearbrake when he had spotted the landing to slow the rotation a bit, absolutely 100 % dialed in.
First off, my hats off and a salute to the ole guard, the Knievel's, Eddie, iron man and all the others for starting a sport that is in a class alone and by itself! One unmatched but not alone in the amazing world of motorSports period. Thanks! Now, I'll just say it as an ole biker and evel groupie from the days! Anyone doubts this dude didn't just up by a factor of 10 both the Knievel's, then there's just no hope fer ya! Today any and everything is up by that same factor! And this is, EXACTLY AS IT SHOULD BE! It's rewarding to watch each of you, amazing is our young folks! And by all means necessary...."CARRY ON!" " Now, let's go get some."
@@speediepitstop1531 absolutely 💯! But these types can do the ramp to ramp, seen um. And in many instances doing back flips, hand stands, tail grips etc etc. They like EVERY next generation have moved ahead of the last great curve just as we did. Thats a good thing by the way...ENJOY🇺🇲🤙
@@Skazellino true enough. But,the majority of these dudes actually can do ramp to ramp. They don't because it doesn't allow space needed for the EXTREME TRICK, STUNT riding they pull off. At any rate, every next generation always expands the boundaries of what was. But what was very likely is exactly the reason we get to enjoy the extreme they are. Many came before EK showed up with his EXTREME! ENJOY! NEXT💯🇺🇲🤙
Anybody know where to find the audio for that bit at the end...where he says "Are we going to Disneyland? Yeah!" to his son? Looked for it everywhere...
Miss Stu Scott. He was awesome. The brothers ain’t doing this a lot 😂. The good old days when you could say something like this and not have it analyzed by millions. It was just a true and funny crack.
Man there's alot of comments on here ripping on evel and robbie knievel. Robbies a fucking douchebag, but evel is a badass. He did all his jumps on a heavy ass 70's harley davidson.
Am i tripping?I've never rode motorcycles, always drove muscle cars, but how can people criticize these crazy bastard's,I'm no genius but i even know that bikes are designed and used for certain riding,Evel was the ultimate knuckle head stud.without computer simulation and what have you,that cat would stand back,close an eye and look and guess and go.these guys entertain us,that's all i know,props to all you super Dave Osbourne's out there 👍
Mike is an amazing down to earth guy, I have met the guy personally! He has set the standard in FMX. He is an inspiration to us all for his hard work and determination to be the best at whatever we put our minds to. Monster is a sh$ty company and screwed him out of his contract right after this event so they wouldnt have to pay him! DO NOT BUY MONSTER crappy drinks! They should be put out of business for screwing good people!
Oh of course this is great ,now for those who know most but not all these bikes today are Extremely light 200 to 230 pounds on Avg so no comparison to past ,Evel Knievel was the king of his time no question about it 470 lb Harley Sportster bike and before that Triumphs no dirt hills to land on ,No Checking or planning ahead on the computers ,it was done by seat of your pants ,no speedometer but by feel As Knievel and his Mechanic said 140 to 150 feet was his best ,kings Island October 25 th 1975 Long Live The king
i agree the brother are not doing this a whole lot ,it takes a white boy to do this " you guy's got us beat on the moto cross. but as long as you keep coming up with new tricks , we will still be watching ,with our feets on the ground.
This is his ONLY jump known, and 70 ft. shy of Knievel's jump of Caesars. Increased safety measures and heightened ramps, not fair to put Metzger in Knievel's league, as my stepdad said. I put my stepdad's words over arrogant smack anyday. Evel Knievel may have missed as many jumps as he made, but he had guts and he lived a lot longer than most people expected him to live.
@brerrsir Robbies was cool but all he did was just jump, as where Mike Metzger Back flipped over the Fountians. So I think Metz jump was much more impressives. Now if someone where to try it again they might double backflip it or even host a whole freestyle contest over it.
i think metz is cool, but doesnt it seem like he was all reterded @ the end? if any1 has seen the whole vid, & can hear his helmet mic, ull know what im talkn bout
Lmao Harley and bikes like those gay asf 😂 Superbikes where its at. Speed accel grip HANDLING. Lightweight. Shit i can bench press my bike its that light wbu? Oh wait your riding a fucking tank 💀 yeah get back to me when you got some balls to go fast kid ❗💯
OK boomer. The fucking guy was the first guy to successfully land a backflip ramp to dirt AND dirt to dirt. Then he set another record 125 feet 40ft in the air on a runway ramp 15 feet off the ground with no exit run off in case of a bike malfunction and u old fukrs still run your mouths. Get the fuck outta here loser
Uh huh, When ESPN admitted to increased safety maseures AND this is the ONLY jump on his record. My stepfather did sell a motorcycle shop, where he would repair wreched bikes in and where I, as a teenager, worked part time as a courtesy clerk. This one has not bested the Knievels nor has he done any other noteworthy jumps, not to mention that this one was a different angle than the success of Robbie Knievel and the takeoff ramp was twice the height. So I ain't smoking.
Impressive!! But evel didn't have computers to dial it in perfect,he just went for it,plus he was on a Harley,now when Robbie jumped it,it was only cool because that's evel's son,he was on something that was made for this kinda long jump.When this guy back flipped over it to me it was kinda disrespect to evel,no matter if u back flip over it or not,it's still not as impressive as evel trying it on a motorcycle that wasn't meant for jumping sorry just my opinion
There were motocross bikes back then, Evel Knievel chose to use a 2-ton Harley. Even when I was watching him as a kid, I asked my dad why doesn't he use a motocross bike. My dad just Shrugged his shoulders.
I remember watching live, that bike was soooooo sick!
He deserves all the props for that one...
Definatly #1 of top 3 jumps of all time! Travis, Robbie, hold my beer !!
Metz! The Godfather of Freestyle. Go man, go!
I think the most bad ass about this jump was when he taped he's rearbrake when he had spotted the landing to slow the rotation a bit, absolutely 100 % dialed in.
Beyond incredible
dam he had a giant landing ramp, try that with the kind of landing ramp Evil or Robbie used
Don't forget Gary.@@speediepitstop1531

The distance was much shorter and the ramps much bigger.

History being made . Brave guy.
METZ IZ THE MAN......

it b rasis
@@jimboslice9472 it b funny!!!!
metzger! awesome motoxer and a christian
amaZing post man thankss!!
i saw mike yesterday and he was kick ass!!
Man there's alot of comments on here ripping on evel and robbie knievel. Robbies a fucking douchebag, but evel is a badass. He did all his jumps on a heavy ass 70's harley davidson.
Love the aerial view at 1:10-1:15. A thing of beauty!
(Funny comment about 'the brothers' too - LOL)
RIP stuart

I just talked to him on the phone the other day! He works for Transition bikes, and he sold me my last bike.
None of these guys are bitches.... props to all freestyle and stunt riders, the risks they take to entertain us all is appreciated here.
Sick jump!!!!
Pure insane!
Does anyone know what bike he was riding that day? From what I can tell it's most likely a 250 2 stroke
Awesome…..
Metzger is insane!
Well done 👍
Beeing this good,haveing love of my life supporting me,and haveing son thats crazy on it!!
OHH YEA,3 WISHES THAT I WANT TO COME TRUE!
And did it yet? Decade + later...
2022🔥
Holy shit that's insane man what a jump
I know I’ve seen it before! But holy 💩that took some nerve!🤘🏻
amazing view
Mike is an amazing down to earth guy, I have met the guy personally! He has set the standard in FMX. He is an inspiration to us all for his hard work and determination to be the best at whatever we put our minds to.

DO NOT BUY MONSTER crappy drinks! They should be put out of business for screwing good people!
Sick jump
Mad Mike Jones!
what a badass
@johnnythrust55 Some of Evel's jumps were on Triumph motorcycles.
The guy must have ball's made of rot iron steel !.
Think he had a big enough landing ramp?
Mike McDonald that's part of the reason you can't take this seriously anymore. Lightweight bikes computer calculated jumps and enormous landing ramps.
And I said again,I like to be like Mike!
young stewart Scott ...
insanity.. i wanna see the bob burnquist skatebaord parachute jump
WHY aren't the "brothers" jumping motorcycles?
I just wanna get some of those camo tires
wow
Nice "
how ignurt, wat an enbred
pastrana is the daddy on bikes
I like water fountains
i agree spiderwar.. but still dangerous enough to not be bad though.
Yeah, the Triumph was way better then the heavy old Harley but Harley paid better! RIP Evel
look at the bike he's riding and look at kneivel's bike... lmao
METZGER IS THE SHIT!!!!
Oh of course this is great ,now for those who know most but not all these bikes today are Extremely light 200 to 230 pounds on Avg so no comparison to past ,Evel Knievel was the king of his time no question about it 470 lb Harley Sportster bike and before that Triumphs no dirt hills to land on ,No Checking or planning ahead on the computers ,it was done by seat of your pants ,no speedometer but by feel As Knievel and his Mechanic said 140 to 150 feet was his best ,kings Island October 25 th 1975 Long Live The king
yeh wat he says !
I’ve always wondered if Evel Knievel knew about this. Because he didn’t pass away until the following year. And if he did, what did he think?!
risky and suicidal, but good one, nice, awesome..
Awesome!
My name is Dakota metzger go metzgers
Wht did the anouncer bring race into this great jump? "The Brothas aren't doing this a whole lot"...It had no plce in the show...
Whatever. Nobody but you cares....
Da dude ain’t trying to race nobody. He just tryna jump. Nome sayin’?
@@coolramone😂 Jive bro don’t want no help, jive bro don’t get no help
If he wuz white they be callin’ him a raysist. Ya heard me?
i could probly do that... just give me a few decades of practise
and btw. my name is Alexander Metzger.
some how travis does not seen so coool
pastrana is the best pastrana ftw
Travis Pastrana
This might be the oldest video I've watched on CZcams.
GOAT
isnt 125 feet the regular freestyle distance
nothing like twitch
i know his adrenaline is pumping harD!
i agree the brother are not doing this a whole lot ,it takes a white boy to do this " you guy's got us beat on the moto cross. but as long as you keep coming up with new tricks , we will still be watching ,with our feets on the ground.
on a dirt bike..hence the word dirt bike .it's not an Indian or a Harley But kudos for the jump on the dirt bike bro .incredible
...never understood why Evil jumped on a Harley .. or Triumph
Back then there wasn't too many choices. Even the Japanese bikes weren't much better in the 60s for jumping..
This is his ONLY jump known, and 70 ft. shy of Knievel's jump of Caesars. Increased safety measures and heightened ramps, not fair to put Metzger in Knievel's league, as my stepdad said.

im buying his pitbike off him i already rode it beacause we friends with da guy
pwnd the knievels!!
Everything is state of the art now. Evels ramps kinda sucked and his heavy ass bike had little suspension.
Poor Evil
i think metz is cool, but doesnt it seem like he was all reterded @ the end? if any1 has seen the whole vid, & can hear his helmet mic, ull know what im talkn bout
That guy is a fucking legend!
heheh....if this was the caesar's palace fountain jump then he must be totally respected..this jump is a myth
NO RICE BURNERS! Harley or Triumph kid!
The rice burner is what allows him to jump that far. Let's see how far you can jump your Harley 😂

METAL MULISHA SUX but travis and mike r cool
My friend tried to kill this guy for fun but they kicked his ass hard!
Metz = GOD
Cheap my arse... Get real this guy was 5 times higher and set the world record for distance on a backflip...
Impressive!! But evel didn't have computers to dial it in perfect,he just went for it,plus he was on a Harley,now when Robbie jumped it,it was only cool because that's evel's son,he was on something that was made for this kinda long jump.When this guy back flipped over it to me it was kinda disrespect to evel,no matter if u back flip over it or not,it's still not as impressive as evel trying it on a motorcycle that wasn't meant for jumping sorry just my opinion
loololololololo he is not your cousin : )
Do it on a Triumph or a Harley!
NO!!!!
You go try to flip a Harley jackass
Do it on a 1200 sportster.i've seen better jumps in races.
Why would anyone waste their time on a POS sportster?
He would probably say, "Do it on a 750cc, 1960s Harley Davidson and I will be impressed!"
True, but evil had a bike with about 0 suspension and his ramps were nothing like todays. Evel said he could jump the moon with todays bikes
LOL he wishes
There were motocross bikes back then, Evel Knievel chose to use a 2-ton Harley. Even when I was watching him as a kid, I asked my dad why doesn't he use a motocross bike. My dad just Shrugged his shoulders.
Definantly not the king of moto😂
Metzger was a top dog back in the day. They didn't call him the godfather for no reason
travis pastrona is better
Robbie Knievel's jump was more impressive and more daring.
evel was ten times better he did jumps on a harley that was over 900 pounds and was not suped up like these new bikes
