Robbie Kneivel has announced he is to attempt his father’s most famous failed leap, over the Snake River Canyon.

Knievel wants to attempt the leap over the canyon – at places a quarter of a mile wide and well over 150 metres deep – on the Fourth of July weekend 2011. At this stage he still needs to obtain approval from local authorities.

Evel Knievel attempted the leap in 1974, using a rocket-powered Harley-Davisdson, only for a parachute malfunction to cause him to crash.

Was that a rocket powered Harley, or a rocket powered bike with a Harley sticker on it?
