Aussie proves you dont need wings to fly

[Guptar]

Last night in Las vegas an Aussie reportedly jumped on a motocross bike, did a few loops, the od barel roll, some orbits around the pyramid hotel then landed safely.

Well seriously, jumped 98m, a distance the legendary Evel Kinevel said couldnt be done. Then half an hr later did it again just to prove it wasnt a fluke.

Man, that guy must have balls the size of coconuts.

Well done cobber.

Erm....and what does this have to do with aviation?

He's a local boy too, his mum works with my missus!

Somethings weren't meant to fly...:ooh:

:ok: Well, He flew three times the distance the Wrights did at Kittyhawk - with no wings:D

Saw him on TV doing his practice jumps. That guy was awesome.

A handful of posts since registration which itself was only within the past 2 months hardly gives you moderator status pal. :=

It still couldn't be done on the Harley that Evil used to ride.

With the current golf balls they are driving 350yds, just means the balls are great, the golfers aren't any better than Jack and Arnie were.

Can't I ask a simple question? We are on the General Aviation & Questions forum aren't we? You don't have to have a hundred posts to figure that out.

Any links to footage or news reportage Guptar? would love to see it done.
