I remember all the hype around his Ceasars Palace jump, I was 12 at the time and there was crazy buzz on tv about this upcoming insane daredevil, they did a really great job promoting this thing
Me and my friends were all caught up in the excitement and then when it finally happened it was so anticlimactic, it was just a quick little hop on a dirtbike and it was over, we were like what the fuck that was it?
I think its just one of those things that just didnt translate well to tv, probably looked amazing if you saw it live and in person

RIP....they were the OGs. But now a days 17 year old X games kids do stuff that those guys couldn't even imagine. Dirt Bike jumping with Travis Pastrana and X Games guys has progressed to the point of super human skill.

RIP to a legend. He'll be jumping over the pearly gates instead of walking through them

I've always thought the mystique of Evel was him doing the jumps on a Harley. There's something wild and an added element of danger seeing that heavy bike fly through the air
A dirt bike doing it just isn't as exciting no matter what the stunt is.

Rest In Peace Robbie. I loved all that daredevil motorcycle jumping. He and his dad were great showmen.

The irony of it all. He dies from something as common as Cancer, rather than all his crazy stunts he did in his career. RIP

It was probably because of COVID vaccines
That's what we're doing now, right? Or is that only for heart related deaths? Even though

And the number of non-fatal heart incidents sends it much higher

I thought the same thing of Steve Irwin dying of a damn stingray.

He was a hardcore alcoholic. He was struggling with type 2 diabetes from drinking. Both most likely led to his pancreatic cancer. I heard him on a radio interview after he got a DUI. He was pretty sloshed and they were trying to do some sort of intervention over the air. It was pretty damn sad.
