Robbie Knievel Jump Headlines Inaugural
2005 Go Fast Ride the Divide Rally
Estes Park, CO June 6, 2005–
The first-ever Go Fast! Ride the Divide Rally was
a dare- devilish good time as Robbie Knievel, son of legendary
stunt pioneer Evel Knievel, set a new jumping record as he entertained
thousands jumping over a fleet of Go Fast cars and motorcycles.
Filmed by A&E for Robbie’s reality show called “Kneivel’s
Wild Ride,” Robbie’s confidence was so high after
his first jump that he hit the ramp a second time—letting
go of the handlebars as he flew close to 180 feet.
This was Robbie’s first time ever jumping in the high
altitude of Estes Park, Colorado which in itself posed a potential
danger as the 7500ft. altitude reduced the motorcycle’s
power—increasing the risk of not reaching the landing
ramp. The original jump on June 4th had to be rescheduled to
June 5th due to rain, wind and other bad weather.
“As the premier sponsor we were thrilled to help bring
Robbie Knievel, A&E and this spectacular event to Colorado,”
said Heather Hill – VP Communications, Go Fast Sports
& Beverage Co. “The excitement surrounding the event
underscores our mission to showcase extreme sports – and
playing host to Robbie in our backyard was so incredible –
we’re already talking about next year,” added Hill.
