Daredevil Jumps Big Trucks in Truck Stunt
June 5th, 2008 | by admin |
People who loved the antics of daredevil Evel Knievel recently gathered together to watch his son perform a stunt jumping over twenty four delivery trucks. The truck stunt was successful but everyone held their breath as he jumped over the big trucks. It’s not something that the average person would be able to pull off but of course that’s what makes it such a great event to watch.
The Truck Stunt Driver
The truck stunt was performed by Robbie Knievel, known to fans as Kaptain Knievel. He is the middle-aged son of famous daredevil Evel Knievel. His father passed away last year due to failing health after years of jumping trucks and performing other crazy stunts for spectators to enjoy.
Jumping 24 Trucks
The truck stunt involved Knievel jumping over twenty four trucks on his motorcycle. The big trucks were all lined up in a row, side-by-side, creating a two-hundred foot row of trucks. To complete this stunt, Knievel had to start from a three-story tall ramp and get up to speeds nearing one hundred miles per hour.
Successfully Cleared the Big Trucks
Everyone was nervous about the truck stunt as they watched because clearing this many big trucks is no easy feat. There is always the risk that the driver will end up coming down hard on the top of one of those trucks and sustaining serious (even fatal) injuries. However, that wasn’t the case in the recent stunt pulled by Kaptain Knievel; he successfully cleared all of the big trucks to the delight of those people who had come out to watch him work.
