Evel Knievel Evel Knievel
Evel Knievel was the world's greatest motorcycle daredevil. Very few people in the world would even try what he does, and no one so far has done it quite as well or nearly as spectacularly. Over the course of his career, he attempted more than 75 ramp-to-ramp motorcycle jumps; in 1974, he failed an attempted canyon jump across Snake River Canyon in the Skycycle X-2, a steam-powered rocket. This is the original and only album that was released at the time of his now historic Snake River Canon jump. While he failed, the album went on to sell hundreds of thousands copies in department stores and free standing record outlets.
