We are no longer at the time when Evel Knievel made printing, but there are still pilots like Colby Raha, who are able to make impressive flights and get our hair to the end with feats that, even if they have an advertising end, are spectacular and dangerous.
And it is that Colby Raha, Freestyle pilot, is following in some ways of Knievel steps. There is nothing more to visit their profiles on social networks to realize that we are facing one of those pilots who leave from time to time, and that they are able to look at the abyss and smile.
The sample is the last of his adventures that has led Raha to propose to jump neither more nor less than 23 cars and 200 feet, which in meters are almost 61. That jump may not seem as impressive as the 98.3 meters Robbie Maddison, but that Colby jumped into the plane.
That is, although he had a take -off ramp there was no landing and, therefore, his motorcycle and his body had to be in charge of absorbing all the impact. If you have ever been long in a jump you will know what it feels like, and if you have never done it, it is never quite scary, basically because your fall is below the exit point and that complicates everything.
Colby Raha’s motorcycle preparation is behind the success of this madness
The good part is that Colby Raha’s motorcycle was prepared thoroughly to fall on that plane and, it is for that reason, that we are talking about a happy ending, with a perfect landing that would have been impossible at another time.
And it is that the work in the motorcycle suspensions must have been so exhaustive that despite the “plan”, the machine does not make a bad gesture and Colby can already be thinking about its next adventure instead of waiting for the next rehabilitation session …
