There were posters advertising it in January when we were there for the Stomp. I remember seeing them, I think in Chicago's Best Pizza.

I'm not saying they were prominent, I just thought everyone had seen them.

Just came across this thread while googling for pictures of the event.

Anyway.. I was there as part of the "GoFast" energy drink fleet. My car was dead center of the line of cars that Robbie Jumped. Very fun event, luckily he didn't face plant on my hood huh.gif

Here is a gallery of pictures I took at the event, for those of you that missed it.

Luckily we got in free and sat in the "VIP" section (at the end of the jump, no better view than anywhere else :shrug: ) But I heard tickets for the VIP section were $75, the main area was $35-50. A little bit of a ripoff if you ask me. It was cool to see, definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity, but it was long day of hurry up and wait, and a ton of hype. At least he did the jump twice. five.gif

Anyway, thanks for the comments. Cool forum! I live in Boulder CO, I'll check in here when I can.

It was supposed to air on "Knievels Wild Ride" at the end of July, but I haven't even seen the show the last few weeks. Almost seems like it's off the air?

It was on tuesday nights on A&E, but now I can't find it.
