: You're another one who towers above Knievel in
: skill. He would be foolish to take you on in
: a real jump-off, his way of doing things is
: to rig it and limit the distances.
:
: I'm sure he would like to get some of that
: Maddo publicity machine action, but it
: wouldn't be in Maddo's best interest to
: waste his time letting Knievel hold Maddo's
: distances down, arrange it in Knievel's
: favor and eliminate any advantage Maddison
: earned the hard way, making it appear that
: Knievel is right up there with Maddo in
: skill.
:
: Just as with Maddo, it is with you. It would
: undermine the hard work you've done to
: become a really good jumper to let somebody
: like him rig a jump-off so that your skills
: and other advantages were nullified, making
: it appear that he's in the same class.
:
: He's not.

: knievels ramp set up sounds pretty similar
: to
: my ramp set up ..... tell him i would be
: happy to go head to head with him . on his
: ramp setup .. please dont take this message
: as dissrespectfull to him in any way . cos
: it would be an honour to jump against him
: ... if you jump 100ft or 500ft you will

: He knows better than to challenge Capes,
: hows
: that for credit Ryan

: I agree with you JA. Shuck and Jive. I'd
: take
: on the challenge just to show that a
: "newby" could come in a put the
: captain in his place. But again, why give
: him publicity? It would most certainly come
: down to a cry-baby attempt at saying I
: loosened his chain before the jump so he
: couldn't go further, or he ate a taco from a
: taco stand that I had placed ex-lax in the
: spices. SOMETHING would surface as to WHY a
: Utah boy came out of the woodwork and blew
: by Knievel a couple hundred feet with ease.
:
: but then again, without the name, Knievel
: wouldn't stoop to think about jumping off
: with me. What would it do for his
: reputation? Oh wait...RUIN IT!
:
: Anyway..PEACE to keeping it Real!
:
:
:
: PEACE!

: That would lag, because in his jump-off with
: Eddie Kidd, Knievel got to build a
: transition onto his wedge ramp, and Kidd
: played by the rules and didn't get that
: advantage.
:
: Maddo wouldn't want to jump on a wedge ramp,
: and he wouldn't want to jump onto such a
: flat landing ramp.
:
: Those things aside, it's just a publicity
: stunt by Knievel. Totally out of character.
: It appears that he would wrangle the rules
: to eliminate any advantage that Maddison
: would have with superior skills, ramp shape
: and ramp size. Knievel could not and would
: not jump on Maddo's setup.
:
: Maddo shouldn't give him the time of day.
:
: That's the way the Knievels always did it.
: They didn't lift a finger to give another
: jumper any publicity.
:
: The Eddie Kidd jump-off was just the kind of
: thing where there were two riders of similar
: skill, with limiting factors and a maximum
: 150 foot ramp gap.
:
: Maddison's skills tower above Knievel's, and
: he really doesn't have to stoop to that
: level. If he does, he must really owe Robbie
: Knievel for something.
:
: The whole thing reeks of "gimmick"
: to me. Words like "staged" and
: "carnival huckster" come to mind.
:
: Maddison is the real deal, and doesn't need
: to waste his time and tarnish his reputation
: playing around with people who are known for
: con games.
:
: JA

: On his website, he formally announced a
: challenge to Maddo (on 8/13/09) that would
: be ramp-to-ramp like his contest with Eddie
: Kidd.
:
: Best of 3, longest jump wins.
:
: I wonder if this will get any attention.
