: To say that RK has no skill, is ridiculous.
: Like him or hate him, he is still one of the
: most talented jumpers we have. You really
: cannot compare Robbie's type of jumping to
: "ramp to dirt ramp" jumping,
: neither are bad and both are cool. It's
: just a different animal, with a totally
: different landing setup, which obviously
: makes a huge difference. You may not like
: his particular style of ramp to ramp
: jumping, you may not like his ski ramp, but
: he is consistently making long jumps,
: successfully (at 46yrs old). He is no doubt
: a very talented motorcycle stunt performer.
:
: As far as the ski ramp, I think it's a great
: idea. It takes a lot of construction to
: build one of those. Have you ever stood at
: the top of his ski ramp and looked down?
: It's something like 3 stories tall and
: pretty steep. He gains some 20+ mph with
: it. (Not for nothin', but I used one for
: three years - twice a day & 6 times on
: the weekends). Ski ramps are more gnarley
: than you might think. My opinion.
:
: I like Robbie. He's not perfect, he has
: his own issues to deal with personally, as
: do we all. Sometimes it's harder to take
: the high road. If you have been wronged:
: Falstaff said: "Discretion is the
: better part of valor." Pray for him
: & for me too.

: Here are a few comments that were funny to
: me.
:
: I think his technique he needs to search for
: is his rear break...
:
: The way i see it....those type of riders are
: definately daredevils but theres not much
: skill in it.
:
: think the reason those types of riders
: crash so much is because they have such such
: a stiff body posture and the sit down on the
: takeoff...
:
: Maybe he never ride on an mx track or hit a
: freestyle ramp
:
: im really sorry, but that is lame
:
: im really sorry, but that is lame...i know
: he is an icon but coming from someone like
: me who is somewhat decent at jumping (no
: where near 200) it just looks so
: ragdoll/goon..im prepared for the hating
: haha but it really did make me laugh,
: especially with the little wheelie at the
: end..dudes got balls, brains not so much,
: but cajones for sure
:
: as he manages to get that bike to go Vert
:
: its obvious that he does not have much bike
: control
:
: I think its a dare devil trade secret to
: loop out
