Didnt he jump across the grand canyon on a motorcycle?

Actually it was the Snake River Canyon and he did not make it across. He did not use an actual motorcycle, but a kind of rocket/cycle combo. I believe it did not work due to the engineers, not Evel.

His motorcycle jumps were amazing, he really created jumping as a daredevil sport. He broke every done in his body at least once. He was 69.  

He recently sued Kayne West for ripping off his image in a video (which Kayne DID do), and is survived by his 2nd wife Crystal and his son Robbie (who wears the Knievel outfit and is a daredevil jumper as well).

 



BAM! There it is!
