Robbie Knievel breaks his father's record by jumping his bike 200-foot



Who doesn't know Evel Knievel - the legendary bike stunter. Now Robbie 'Kaptain' Knievel, his son, has broken his dad's record by jumping his bike 200-foot over 24 buses. Evel Knievel had once jumped 115 feet over 14 buses at Kings Island in 1975. Robbie too achieved the feat at Kings Island amusement park near Cincinnati. "Hopefully I'll see you after the jump," Knievel told the crowd before he climbed the start ramp. Robbie Knievel dedicated his stunt to his father, U.S. war veterans and those serving in the military.
Robbie Knievel is 46 years old now, and is considering a future attempt at jumping the Snake River Canyon on the Snake River near Twin Falls - a feat his father failed at in 1974.
