Blackwell originally said he would jump 42 cars to celebrate his 42nd birthday, but later upped the ante to 52 cars, saying he wanted to beat a world record set by his boyhood idol Evel Knievel.
Blackwell made 3 apparent practice runs at the ramp, each time veering off at the last second.
On the fourth try, he hit the takeoff ramp and successfully made the jump.

Sounds like to me nothing could have made you happy last night. As for us smokers having a designated spot to smoke, why don’t you and your family sit in your car next time. And as far as the jump goes, I bet Bubba has a bike and would love to see you try and do what he did last night. But your right the best thing for you to do is never go back!!!!
