Evel Knievel's son has broken his own father's record by jumping over 24 buses at a theme park in Ohio.
Robbie Kaptain Knievel broke the record his dad set 30 years ago by 10 buses at Kings Island amusement park near Cincinnati.
Evel Knievel jumped 115 feet over 14 buses at Kings Island in 1975 in an event that was watched by more than half of the nation's television viewers.
He died last year at the age of 69 after suffering from failing health for many years.
Robbie Knievel dedicated his stunt to his father, US war veterans and those serving in the military.
Knievel, 46, is now considering a future attempt at jumping the Snake River Canyon on the Snake River near Twin Falls, Idaho, a feat his father failed at in 1974.
Far from me to 'dis' his achievement, but it's not really.. well, breaking a record on the scale that Kidd, Kneivel and that mad woman who used to jump used to, is it!? Im buggered if I'd give it a crack, but surely modern machinery is more than capable of both the speed required, as well as the take off and landing..Or am I missing something? There's Guys who ride at the X Games who'd be more than capable of completing such a jump, but.. well, just dont...
Big 'up' for the Guy anyway, It's still impressive. Just not as impressive as some of the things his madman father used to do..!
