While in Idaho, I took photos of the Snake River Gorge that runs through magic valley near Twin Falls. Evel Knieval attempted to jump his motorcycle over this gorge in 1974. Knievel’s televised motorcycle jumps represent four of the twenty most-watched, including the number 1 spot, ABC’s Wide World of Sports events in history. His achievements and failures, including his record 35 broken bones, earned him several entries in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Robbie Knievel the son of Evel has followed in his father's footsteps as many sons do and made a career out of jumping a different style motor bike.

I remember Evel Knieval in the 1970's jumping over double decker buses on his motor bike. Risking life and limb for a stunt! Love your photos of the river.
