Knievel looks to jump 24 trucks at Kings Island

Evel Knievel’s son, Robbie will jump 24 trucks today at Kings Island.  He plans to go 224 feet.  That would be 110 ft. more than his Dad’s jump back in 1975.  Evel cleared 14 Greyhound buses in Kings Island on October 25, 1975.  The event recorded the highest viewer rating in the history of ABC’s Wide World of Sports.
