Jumping Snake River Canyon not so difficult
I really don't see what the big deal was. Jumping Snake River Canyon simply isn't that difficult.
With a Playaz custom-built Skycycle, I successfully jumped the 1,580 feet across the canyon with nothing more than a healthy dose of comet dust and a Honda 250 dirtbike stabilized by a rocket shell with fins and rocket booster. A few hay bails strategically placed on the other side of the canyon served to break my fall.
Evel Knievel failed in 1974 when his version of the skycycle crashed in the river below.
Really, what's the big deal? I can't count the number of times the Playaz have jumped our Lincoln Continental across the fountain when arriving at Caesar's Palace.
So, with nothing to do (since Tac was busy administering Ken Lay potassium chloride in the middle of the night, Guv'na was selling phony Coke recipes to Pepsi, Bon was partying with the Japanese Prime Minister, and Wayne was at the beach with Jessica Simpson), I built a rocket-cycle and headed to Idaho.
Evel Knievel was highly overrated.

Evel Knievel never had comet dust!

From what I have learned about the Playaz the comet dust was used purely to make the experience more enjoyable. Like a fine cigar.
Only illegal.
(Unless the cigar is Cuban.Then it's the same.)

Indeed, he did not, Steve. Perhaps I am being too harsh - the comet dust would certainly have helped Evel ignore all of those broken bones.

Evel Kneival was not overrated. The Playaz are simply that good.

He may have been ovverrated, but you have to admit - he accessorized well.

Amen to that, hammer. I admit I cannot resist the stars & bars, and fur coats of Mr. Knievel.

Is that Phil in the photo, or Robbie Knievel?
Hard to tell the difference.

We both sustain a steady diet of hamburgers, cheetos, booze, doughnuts, and mountain dew.
So in that respect we are very similar.
