I really love Evel Knievel, what he stood for.
I jumped 18 cars on a motorcycle, so I did almost everything.
I learned one thing from jumping motorcycles that was of great value on the golf course, the putting green especially: Whatever you do, don't come up short.
If I wasn't into MMA, I would definitely love to get into motocross. That is a much tougher sport.
I think that when Evel Knievel crashed over the fountain at Caesar's, it kind of gave you a credibility and then anticipation for everything he did.
If I'm out trailriding, I have a favorite motorcycle. Riding on the road, I've got a favorite. If I'm jumping, I have a favorite, and if I'm racing, I have a favorite.
I created Evel Knievel, and then he sort of got away from me.
I used to do crazy tricks. I would stand on the seat, wheelies, stuff like that.
I think motocross is a much more dangerous sport than what we do. These guys are flying through the air at high speeds rising their lives. What we do in the octagon is not even close to what these guys do on the course.
I do freestyle jumping. Been doing since I was eight years old and can't quit. I'm addicted. I've broken many bones, but I ride with confidence. It's my thing - there's no high on earth like it. It's my hobby and I really enjoy it.
