Injured Daredevil Considering More Jumps
A daredevil motorcyclist listed in critical condition after a Fourth of July stunt has recovered and is considering future jumps.
Bubba Blackwell, speaking Thursday at a news conference outside the hospital, said he would like to continue performing if he is physically able to do so.
“I want to go down as the best in history at doing the things that I do,” Blackwell said.
The 34-year-old stunt rider was trying to jump a record 22 cars when he crashed into the landing ramp and went flying from his bike before a crowd of 25,000 at the Del Mar Fair.
