I wonder if I should sell them ?
My bid for the HD package was based on the seller seperating the steel, copper, aluminum and how many pounds of each. :roll:

I tried to launch him from my roof to the neighbors roof. had about the same outcome as the snake canyon debacle.

Now the MX kids are doing way more than that with 3 pals at the same time for a contest.
Dumping the AHH Chutes on the canyon ramp was the smartest thing he ever did.
The guy I was with under the ramp (some of you knew him) is still owed some money for some advertising on a bike that ran with the Long Beach GP and an Evil paint job.
He was in San Diego for years after he quit riding and hustled golf partners in Mission Valley.
Those HDs were brutal and most people I know wouldn't go off a curb with them. :wink:

But I did win money in the nickle slots Evil Knieval game in wendover, I pushed my luck on the daredevil Bonus round and won double money, then I got out...

Post by: isiahstites on May 04, 2007, 04:29:01 PM: I was born and raised in Twin Falls, Id and while I do not remember the jump across the canyon I have always thought it was really cool that my grandfather had a hand in building Evils ramp on the canyon. When we were kids we use to go to the site of the ramp and screw around on our bicycles.
