    If he's jumping it with a modern MX bike: yawn...

    If he's jumping it with the correct motorcycle but with modern suspension: yawn...

    If he's jumping it with the correct unmodified motorcycle: I'm interested.

    This strikes me as underestimating the danger. The modernity of the platform only helps you if you land wheels-down.

    I'm pretty confident in Pastrana's ability to get the rubber to touch first when he jumps. Landing a HD XR-750 is a whole different ballgame compared to a bike designed to be jumped.

    Yeah...I can't figure out if it was an overhyped commercial for Indian, History Channel, Ceasar's Palace, Pastrana, or WHAT.
