    I wrote a letter to him last spring with a return address and not realizing my phone number. One evening I received a call from him. Kinda freaked me out, but we talked for about 45 minutes, he even chatted with my son. I told him then that his dad was my childhood hero and he was also. He told me things that wasn’t general knowledge and also sent me a personal picture in a text. He was a very nice guy and he IS the best at his profession…….period!!! Rest in peace my friend, you will be missed!

      That showed Robbie had class. He also jumped from one high rise building to another. Damm, his bike bounced hard when he landed. Great suspension, something his dad with those Harleys did not have.

      @James Horan His Dad was half insane half pure cold nerves. His choice of jumping
      Bike ridiculous. Harley wasn't ment to fly through the air. Just across finish lines.

    I saw Robbie jump in Portland Oregon in the '80's. I got to watch him prepare for his jump several days in advance by starting out with short jumps, then moving the ramps farther and farther apart. I thought it was really smart. The day he did the jump, he did several test starts getting the bike, a Honda CR500 motocross bike, up to speed and then veering from the ramp at the last second. When he was ready, we all knew he was going to jump because he sat there for a while, blipping the throttle, staring down the ramp. We were at a road race track and he was set up on the front straight part of the track. With his back tire touching a wall behind him, he launched the bike and went through the gears like a drag racer. He hit the ramp at approx. 80 MPH, and was airborne. Then, he took his hands off the handlebars and raised them up. He grabbed the handlebars and stuck the landing, feathers flying in the wind from around his neck. I'll never forget it.

      It’s impossible to compare him and his father’s careers due to the technology of the bikes that they used. Of course he jumped farther and more successfully than his dad,Evel was jumping Triumph’s and Harley’s. Who knows how well he would have done on modern bikes.
