I just got a text from KIC saying that you updated, the text message thing for KIC really comes in handy! But about the pics, the ramp seems to look good! And i dont really like the bike Robbie wants to use, but its his choice. Thanks for the update Ryan!

Just a question, where will the grandstand seats be located at?

I'm not sure where the VIP Grandstand will be, but there will be seating all around the jump site.

Very cool! I got a text as well, good job on BroadTexter.

I'm glad you like that. The Broadtexter thing was something that I had wanted to do for a long time and I finally found a program that allowed me to do it the way I wanted to. I hope you guys who are signed up find it useful.

Thats alot of wood for just one event.

I gotta ask...what's wrong with the bike he's using? Looks like your basic motocross bike.

I'm assuming he meant compared to Evel. Evel used a massive Harley. This bike is lighter weight.

Is it just me, or does the landing ramp look short (as in height) and really, REALLY wide. Im just used to seeing the landing ramp looking similar (except not as tall) but the same width.

You must not watch action sports at all.

Sorry for stating my opinion and seeing if anyone else saw this Dane.

I wasn't pointing out your "opinion" but rather the fact that your metal image of a launch ramp and landing ramp is slightly subpar of real life.

In one of those pics it doesnt appear that thew distance from launch to landing ramp is that far at all. then again it may just be my perception of depth.

I'm not sure where the VIP Grandstand will be, but there will be seating all around the jump site.

Dear Ryan,

Is this kind of a tribute to his late father?

Did Evil Knivel jump in 75 or 76 or am I anywhere NEAR close?

I think it's really cool and I hope I can make it.

Take care, Odette.

P.S If you posted any of the questions I just asked already, I am sorry for asking again. My PC has been a bit kooky lately and I don't get to jump on to KICentral as much as I would like.

Thanks.

Dear Ryan,

I'm guessing he's asleep so I'll answer if you don't mind.

Is this kind of a tribute to his late father?

Robbie has stated that he wants to try and attempt to break all of his fathers records in an attempt to keep "Knievel the most famous name on two wheels." After the Kings Island jump (if successful), the Snake River Canyon and Wembley Stadium jumps will be the only records of his father that he hasn't broken. He also mentioned that this could be his last "big" jump.

75. Set television viewing records that still stand today.

There are a handful of people I see on the site late at night... every night.

I usually go to bed at about 4 A.M. Wake up at 9 A.M. Decide if I should go to class or not, then either sleep for another few hours or go to class.

are the grandstands going to block the view of the jump?

i was wondering how many could cram into that section of parking lot.

if all the people in the park exited for the jump, that would make for an extremely large crowd.

Anyone see the interview with Robbie on channel 9, he confirmed there is a huge coaster coming in 2009. Hmmm wonder if they will tie the coaster in to his jump?

Haha I don't think he was suppossed to say that, but hey he's bringing so much promotion to the park that it doesn't really even matter.
