| Robert Edward "Kaptain" Knievel, (born May 7, 1962 in Butte, Montana) is the third of four children of the late famous stuntman Evel Knievel and his first wife Linda. Robbie Knievel began jumping his bicycle at age 4 and rode motorcycles at age 7. At age 8 he performed his first show with his father at Madison Square Garden. At age 12 he was on tour with his father where he would perform in the pre-jump shows. He has completed over 250 jumps, setting 20 world records. These include the Caesars Palace Fountain jump, the building to building jump and The Grand Canyon jump. The canyon jump was partially based on his father's radical and ill-fated attempt at jumping the Snake River Canyon in 1974 on a rocket "motorcycle" which was really much more rocket than motorcycle. In Robbie's jump he actually used a motorcycle and he actually jumped the canyon. |
