I was there on the day and it is something I'll never forget. I recall that Robin had a number of dry runs to check the run up. When he made the attempt we were sure he was going slower than on the practice runs. It may have been a case of not wanting to let the large crowd down. All of the long distance jumps I have seen since this have had a much longer straight run up before the ramp, maybe turning just before the ramp made it too hard too judge. Brave man, RIP.

If you look at the ramp on take off, it visibly dropped a lot when the bike hit it, as if it was on ground that wasn't really firm enough for the speed and force of the bike. The bike was going fast but the ramp absorbed some of the speed, sending the bike on a lower trajectory than had the ramp been on a firmer, (more) solid base.

I guess I didn't think before making such a stupid comment. Please accept my apology.

On the approach, like 80 yards before he launched off the ramp, he slowly turned right to begin the straightaway approach to the takeoff ramp. In the air, his bike was not straight but rather canted slightly to the left. Thus, I wonder if, as he was climbing the takeoff ramp, he was accelerating while still turning sligntly left because he was still overcorrecting due to the non-straight approach. If so, this slight left cant or turn in the air perhaps cost him 4 feet on the landing due to air resistance while he was in the air.

Too high with bus he will still alive.he take wall .

God bless this daredevil, I could hear the bike bogg when he took the final ride across the field

Is the bike OK?

Dude had the smallest landing ever like 6-7ft high Poland takeoff could have been better to pop him a little bit more cause he had no float, it just bounced him up like a scrub. He even tossed bike sideways like he has some bike control. Still should have been on a Honda. Ride Red!!

This dude died from a soft landing what a weakling.

Your right 🚀🚀. There was No pop up ⬆️ and floating - glide through the air to the jump at all 💀

I think the problem is the distance to the landing ramp and safety, was further than he would have preferred, mid-flight. Not being an expert of course

One hell of a long jump! Rip.

At least he went out in the most badass way possible. May he rest in peace.

Really?? Some other guy ended up with his wife and raised his kids. No glory in that.

It would have taken a bit more courage to live a longer life.

Be interesting to see autopsy report. Internal injuries? Broken neck?

Um I'm no expert but I think he broke ALL of his bones. That impact was beyond brutal

I’d think he died from a broken neck and or a severed/ruptured aorta

0:51 The moment he screamed WTF !!!

I think he got a little sideways in the air and that slowed him down and caused him to fall short. At least it was instant lights out. RIP man.

Bad calculations cost him everything, shame

An RM 250? I knew fro the start he was doomed. Why not the 400

Well the SHIRLEY TEMPLE lookalike was spot on , he didn't GO FAR ENOUGH. !!

Well… that sound on take off… like some 2by4 cracked or plywood ripped some. Or both. So, bike partially ploughed through the ramp instead of kicked it cleanly. And that part slowed bike down and lowered flying trajectory that maybe 5 % needed to end brave man’s life.

I've watched this many times, and never noticed that. Wow, I think you have a plausible theory, something definitely happened to that ramp on take off.

He needed another 15 feet of safety platform. He would have landed hard and crashed, but not stopped instantly. Or a half dozen fewer cars. Sad.
