Robbie Maddison’s 322 ft, world record jump on ESPN

As a child I was a huge fan of Evel Knievel and his exploits. He was an amazing guy who went for his goals no matter what the risk to life and limb.
Robbie Maddison seems to opitimize the same ideals as Evel Knievel had all those years ago, I have to wonder though how much further Evel would have jumped these days given the improvements in the new bikes.
This is an awesome jump by Robbie and he really sticks the landing as well.

Take a look at some abosutely amazing base jumping. I just dont seem to like the idea of jumping so close to a wall of rock, or a building for that matter. At least if you jump from a plane, you are not likely to get slammed up against a wall on the way down.

This is some pretty amazing motor cycle formation riding. Taken in the 1960s apparently. Whoever choreographed this routine had a good mind.

I love this song, it has a brilliant sound and has always made me feel upbeat when it comes on the radio. This is the original by Warren Zevon from 1978.
Below is the same song but with a good animated video to go with it.

So now we know some of what the ancients did for us… as for what we as ancients did for our future distant ancestors, there’s always global warming, corporation-sponsored government, Dystopia and probably Monsanto’s Soylent Green.

This video shows some amazing footage of the relatively new craze of extreme scooter riding. It seems to have evolved so quickly. The best is saved for last so it is worth the few minutes of watching.
What ancients did for us - The INDIANS 5/6

It’s altogether too easy to underestimate the capabilities of the Ancients, and perhaps affix credit for the Pyramids etc. to ‘Off worlders’, rather than giving credit to the Ancients ability, in this case to move blocks of stone which we would have problems moving, even with our present day mechanical technology.
The Indian Ayurveda and Yoga, along with the Chinese Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine, which are still practiced thousands of years later, are also too much underestimated. I think it’s worth mentioning here also, that the Egyptians of the Pharaohs time, along with the Ancient Chinese, Greeks, South Americans and who knows how many others, also carried out quite complex surgical operations that, from archaeological evidence, are shown to have been successful.
I have a theory… that the ‘ancients’ were far more observant and thoughtful about what they saw or experienced, largely because of the absence of the mind numbing TV’s ‘Big Brother’ & ‘So you think you can dance’ etc.

The more things change, the more things remain the same… whoever wins will have been funded by the same old crowd who supported the previous winners and losers, and in fact the future winners and losers.
The only solution to this problem is NO MORE POLITICAL DONATIONS & MORE REFERENDUMS. They have conditioned you to not to want to take part and to not be interested in politics.
