Knievel's wild ride

[MacConnachie]

I'm not sure that you'd get universal agreement that Robby's career is "floundering," given some of the jumps he's made recently. Even though he's rough around the edges, I consider him to be a better man, overall, than his old man.

Maybe it's partly due to my admiration for "outlaws" from Montana?

Now if Robby did a jump in a kilt, how would you feel about his career?

I grew up with his dad blazing the trail that Robby is using. (I even had the Rocket Car with Parachute from his Snake River Jump!) Robby will always be number 2 behind him.

While it is impressive to jump a motorcycle that far I'd much rather watch the guys racing motocross and doing acrobatic stunts.

As to floundering...Any celebrity with a rocking career won't waste their time on a "reality" TV program.

But more on topic, If Barleyjuice had auditioned for Robby's opening act I KNOW the power of the kilt would have prevailed

cavscout, I don't want to tear down anybody else's childhood heroes, so the anecdotal info I have from people who have met and worked with Mr. Evel Kneivel will remain unknown to you. While I personally don't care for the gentleman, I do respect his brand of daredevilry, nonetheless.

I'll simply refer back to my "outlaw" comment. Robbie is not ANY celebrity, but I am hardly here to champion his cause, regardless of what his motivation for doing the series might be. ($$$$ from a TV network, perhaps?)

Just having been for the first time to Barleyjuice's website, I'll definitely have to agree with that assessment!

Cheers!
