96 foot jump, it was pretty impressive to watch last night on ESPN, I really liked the guys mechanic dropping the F bomb on the radio that went over the air. The truck jump was ok, I think a long jump comp with a bunch of trucks like CORR holds would have been more entertaining

The bike jump was pretty sick. During the show they showed that he actually got to like 105 ft. or something like that. The landing off the top was intense, he did a great job of saving it, even though he paid the price for it.

I wasn't that impressed with the truck either. It really isn't that uncommon to see an off-road vehicle get upside-down, it's even less spectacular when it is done in a highly controlled enviroment. I'm a little biased about that too though, because RM seems like a real jerk, and I can't cheer for someone like that.

That bike jump was awesome, makes me wonder what Robbie Knievel still gets paid to do anything at all.

This will always be my favorite jump video, and one of my favorite videos of all time:

I'm not even sure if it was live or not, but FOX had Robbie Knievil jumping the volcano at the Mirage. The editing was really bad, the CG animation of the jump was REALLY bad and after the jump he just rode off to his trailer. I thought for sure they had to be replaying an old jump. I guess it was live, it came on at 1AM in Nashville which is midnight vegas. At least the other jumps happened earlier to be relevant on east coast TV.

That video was COOL! I went to the Diggers Dungion in NC They build some cool trucks, a lot of the monster trucks are built by Dennis Anderson's crew, They know what they're doing and have a sick hauler
