The E4 Blog:

Hello again all you E4 fans and FLUGTAG lovers. Well with just over four weeks left until Red Bull Flugtag 2008  it is still full steam ahead. I'm glad to say our mothership, the Rocket cycle is now complete and ready to soar across the lake.

Now we are attempting to build our so called Evel Wings. Which will hopefully give me enough lift to at least clear the lake and beyond.
We still need your help though, the E4 EVEL Team is slipping down the scale in the voting stakes on the Redbull website. So don’t delay check us out and click on the vote for this team and kick them into touch.  www.redbullflugtag.co.uk

We have super treats in store for our fans. Not just visually but our machines have a few hidden ‘effects’ to hopefully wow the 80,000 crowd. Also our pre-jump event will include an amazing death-defying leap... well, maybe not in the slightest death-defying... but we do intend to finish the Job Evel started back in London way back at the old Wembley Stadium, in 1975. We will sort of jump the 13 Buses as Evel attempted, ending unfortunately with him in hospital with a broken Pelvis! Not revealing too much but let's say our attempt is er, ‘Not To Scale’.

We must take this opportunity to personally thank Kelly Knievel and all Evel's Family who allowed us to use Evel's likeness and allowing us to use all his 'cool' stuff. Thanks guys! However, as the day approaches I'm thinking I wish he were here to jump in my place!

As a treat to all, we have arranged to show the E4 Rocket Skycycle in a ‘River Thames Jumping Pose’ to the world on Sunday 25th May by London's Putney Wharf Tower during The Wandsworth Arts Festival. And I shall be there testing the rocket engine, before they remove it for Flugtag ! So come along and meet me and the gang. Putney Wharf Tower is in located in Brewhouse Lane SW15.

So keep your votes coming, check back in soon and I really hope to see you all either at Putney or hear you screaming at Flugtag.

Until then ‘HAPPY LANDINGS’  from Phil ‘Hollywood’ Hatton (aka EVEL KNIEVEL) And The E4’ EVEL KNIEVEL TEAM.
