Re: Big Ed wins the rights to jump the Snake River Canyon
Snake River Canyon will always be remembered as Evel's canyon and yes, in that respect, it is a Knievel landmark. I'm not sure what you mean by no one talks about it except on here. Evel made this place the most famous gap in the world in the 1970's and it will always be associated with the Knievel name. Knievel is motorcycle jumping. All the others are just wanna be's. Evel was the first and will always be the king. Imitation may be flattery but it isn't much else. The only thing interesting about a return to Snake River Canyon was the history and the two sons, Knievel and Truax, finishing what their fathers started. I'm sure Big Ed is a great guy but his stunt, if it ever happens, is meaningless. I do agree that Robbie is apparently having problems. I hope he gets it together and finishes his career on a high note.
