Time - 40 Years Ago, Place - Snake River Canyon

Evel Knievel tried to jump the Snake River Canyon in 1976, and failed miserably.
Just a disaster on TV; people accused him of never planning to jump in the first place because he needed money and his fame star was fading.

Now here it is 2016 (40 years later) and a man named Eddie Braun who looked to Evel as his hero desides it's time to see if he could succeed his hero's stunt to beat all stunts.

Here's the video

I'm not going to spoil the end for anyone.

I just can't get over how the English (American) language is abused to the point where "riding a rocket" = "jumping"!
