Robert Craig Knievel was Evel Knievels' name at birth.
Mrs. Knievel. She was probably a nervous wreck.
Evel Knievel's first stunt was during his teen years. He did a wheelie in an earth mover. This caused a blackout because he inadvertently hit a power line.
Evel Knievel was born on October 17, 1938
Evel's Triumph Bonneville 650 was reportedly stolen after the crash at Caesars Palace. Who ever stole it probably didn't get much though, since it was heavily damaged in the crash and caught fire after it stopped tumbling. The smoke from the fire can be seen in the video of the crash shown in the movie Evel Knievel from 1971. After recovering from the Caesars crash Evel began jumping on the # 2 wheelie bike , which was also a Bonneville 650 except it had no parachute.
He did not, and neither did Evel Knievel.
Perhaps it was his attempt to jump the Snake River near Twin Falls, Idaho on 8 September 1974 using hi X-2 Skycycle.The attempt failed when the arresting parachute deployed on take-off. Many still believe that the Idaho stunt was over tne Grand Canyon in Arizona.
Evel Kinevel never attempted a jump of the Grand Canyon. He did attempt a jump of the Snake River at Twin Fallls, Idaho in 1974 which failed, but he was only slightly injured.
