Stuntman completes Knievel jump
Forty-two years after daredevil Evel Knievel failed to clear the Snake River Canyon near Twin Falls, stuntman Eddie Braun pulled off a similar jump on a steam-powered rocket. Braun landed safely on the south rim of the canyon, the Twin Falls Times-News reported. He piloted the “Evel Spirit,” a steam-driven rocket ship patterned after Knievel’s “X2 Skycycle.” The launch site was in Jerome County, a few miles east of where Knievel shot off from the opposite bank/ John Sowell , Idaho Statesman.
