A
WORD FROM EARNIE
Welcome to
our website. It's been up for three years now with no update. For
Whatever reasons, things just haven't come together..until now..BABY
STEPS..more on that later, read on.
I’ve always been characterized
as a straight shooter, so I’ll get right to the point of
my letter.
Why didn’t
we jump 305 feet in 1996? Well, 40 mph wind gusts don’t
really mix well with being 60 feet in the air, coming off a 4-story
ramp at 96 mile per hour. Not committing suicide should always
be reason enough, but for some reason, it never has been. (I’ll
add that if you’re reading this letter now and feel different,
I sincerely welcome your opinion and you can contact
me).
Anyway, a few facts:
any jump is dangerous. Many good motorcycle jumpers have been injured on short jumps. To
access info on motorcycle jumpers worldwide, go to cyclejumpers.com. They have the info on
past and present champions.
Have
I mentioned that no one has ever jumped the Grand Canyon!
So,
back to 1996 and the opportunity that now lies before us. We had
to walk away quietly. But we’re now back to finish what we
started. The 300 foot mark. 305 feet to be exact. We’ll do
that with two large ramps, one motorcycle, one person. No parachute,
no illusions, and no fertilizer if you know what I mean.
By
the way, did I mention that nobody has ever jumped the Grand Canyon!
Before the 305’ mark,
we will have to take some practice jumps. (been 12 years) Practice building up to the quintuple.
That’s 5 launch ramps: jumps of 16-18-20-22-24 cars. That’s 100 cars in 26 seconds. These are several
steps down the road. So let’s take baby steps 7-5-08 at Hickory Hollow Carnival Kia in Antioch, Tennessee.
So we did not put up this
site to defend our credibility, we just wanted to state a few facts and let everyone know we’re back.
With countless jumps, including the only triple ever done (Our answer to Junior’s Caesar’s Palace jump.)
We merely want to bring these goals to fruition. We started talking about these jumps back in 89. And for
the nay sayers and the pessimist, this is America and the day after her 232nd birthday, we will know if
you are right or need to believe anything can happen in America.
Finally, I
would like to thank all of those who helped to do some pretty wild jumps over the years.
I hope to thank you face to face again one day. God bless!
And,
as you know, nobody has ever jumped the Grand Canyon!
