Okay. I'm going to try this for a THIRD time posting this Evel Knievel thread. Evidently this news story isn't news and should have been posted to 'chat' according to the Mods.

Original article, that ISN’T NEWS WORTHY, but only worthy of being relegated to ‘chat.’

It would have been “news” if he died in the attempt.

I have a ticket (found, unused) for the CCTV broadcast of Knievel’s attempt way back when.

September 8 1974.

Evel failed at Snake River.

I also failed to outrun the
CHP on Hwy 395 in Sun City.

Oops!

Snake River was Evel Knievel's "Jump the Shark" moment.

He should have stuck with his motorcycle.
