Richard Hammond meets Evel Knievel Snake River Canyon Jump

[JRCrowley]

RIP

[officialmashitup]

To say over the internet that Evil was "Chicken" is preposterous, I bet none of the people saying that would ever even think about strapping themselves to a rocket and jumping almost 1 mile over the Canyon

RIP Kneivel

Look at the Hamster with his High Desert Tan!

[G1myster]

Remember loving Evel as a young kid. Parents never bought me one of the famous toys tho. Gutted! Lol

The video is ok at 7:07 but it needs more cowbell..

@RoseveltEnterprises An interesting comment and I agree. It would sound better! By the way SRV rocks.Play Strat through a Vibroverb myself. Enjoyed your pride and joy vid.

So boxers, mma fighters, football players, skydivers, mountain climbers, and so on are all selfish people. this guy who did this documentary is a parisite who idolizes another stuntman other than evil making a documentary to satify his jelousy over evils fame. nice accent though and bright man though a parasitic degenerate. peace and love.

[jmsschooner]

[ChuckieInMT]

Way to go Richard - glad that you got to see Butte, America...let's hope that you got a room at the Finlen, eh?

I think that the G-force made Evel blackout and he let go of the safety handle that deployed the chute...

[Koogz406]

YA Richard i wish i knew you at evil days! it would have been great to meet you. Butte WHAT!!!

[jessedowns]

They were at Bonnaville Salt Flats also, 100 miles from my house and they didn't tell me eighter!

[ScifiFriday]

Ive got a question for you guys who might know, did Richard do this docomentry after his big chash? Because wouldent that make it harder for him considering what his family went trugh?

[drowzy721]

he did, because i noticed that after the crash he started growing his hair

[Vipguy2003]

I remember that day like it was yesterday. Say what you want about parechutes deploying too early. This was a dangerous stunt. It's a mircle he survived. RIP Evel

[TnseWlms]

And while everyone was glued to their sets and properly distracted, watching Evel jump the canyon, Ford pardoned Nixon.

[flipstone55]

Notice that the parachute was already deployed at the time of the rocket launch. That would indicate a planned crash into the River instead of over land where the surviveability would have been much lower.

His sister is still a hottie.
