Bubba Blackwell
Bubba Blackwell is an American stunt performer and motorcycle jumping world record holder who is sponsored by and promoted by Harley-Davidson Motorcycles. Prior to his association with Harley-Davidson, Blackwell was sponsored by the now-defunct Buell Motorcycle Company (Buell was partnered with Harley-Davidson Motorcycles before becoming defunct in October, 2009).〔Michael Burge (July 4, 2002), "Daredevil Bubba Bounces Back", The San Diego Union - Tribune, San Diego, Calif.〕
Blackwell is best known for breaking Evel Knievel's jump record for both cars and buses using a Harley-Davidson XR-750 flat-track racing motorcycle.
==Records==
Bubba Blackwell began his career on April 26, 1998, when he jumped 20 cars in Everett, Massachusetts, breaking the 19 car record held by Evel Knievel. The following year, on July 4, 1999 during an airing of ''The Tonight Show'' with Jay Leno, Blackwell jumped 14 buses at Del Mar Fair in California, tying the record held by Knievel,〔Associated Press (July 31, 1999), "Bubba: Stunt King", New York Post, New York, NY〕 who leapt 14 buses at Kings Island in 1975 (although Knievel's rear tire touched the 14th bus, his landing was successful). Five months later, Blackwell broke Knievel's bus-jumping record by jumping 15 buses.
Blackwell broke Knievel's last remaining jump record on a Harley-Davidson XR-750 by jumping 52 stacked cars on October 4, 2008. The jump took place at the Deep South Speedway located between Pensacola, Florida and Mobile, Alabama. The jump also marked Blackwells's 41st birthday.
