: It's a unpleasant reality but it's true. I
: would love to be wrong on this. I hope he
: gets a great deal and makes money on it but
: this event would scare me. Knievel had the
: best promotion in the world back in 1974 yet
: he was disappointed in the revenue from the
: jump. While I don't know the exact amount of
: money Robbie got from jumping the Grand
: Canyon I do believe Evel didn't think he was
: paid enough. No Network will even touch it
: if they don't think people will watch it.
: And it's less then a year to go and the jump
: date is the same day of the 2014 NFL Opening
: Day I believe.

: weLL THEIR list has nothing to do with the
: actual jump it is to finish a 1/4 mile
: walk/bike path, build a museum/welcome
: center, parking lot with no room to even
: turn a motorhome with a car attached on it,
: and a whole bunch of dreams they have to
: decide if they are going to follow thru or
: not. We are not responsible for this list.
: Our negotiations are in their final stages
: Dave and what you must all understand we
: have over a million bux in this deal already
: so there is no walk away from this!
: We also are in final negotiations with 3
: different networks. That contract is over 5
: mil already! Don't worry about us we will
: have over 40 thousand people on the landing
: side paying for camping, tickets, parking,
: food, drinks and all that goes with it will
: make the net way good. What we also have
: going is a toy deal and sponsorship's that
: will be announced soon.
: Don't fret Dave it's going to happen!

: I've said it before and I will say it again.
: I
: don't believe this event will ever take
: place. Someone is going to lose lots of
: money on this if this ever happens.
: Remember, Evel had everything going for him
: for the event and he still didn't get the
: money he thought he would get back in 1974.
: You need people to either show up to the
: event or get a deal with Television. And I
: don't see it happening.

: Twin Falls City Council members said they
: were shocked Monday night by the cost of a
: laundry list of property improvements they’d
: like to see at Evel Knievel’s Snake River
: Canyon jump site.
