Description

Snake River Canyon, Idaho 1973.


A baying mob of drunken biker gangs and bloodthirsty thrill-seekers watch on, as a lunatic in a star spangled jumpsuit is strapped to a military rocket.


And that was just an ordinary day for America’s most notorious daredevil.


He bunked up with Charles Manson, spunked $20m on chinchilla fur coats and smashed the world record for broken bones.


From month-long comas to robbing banks with dynamite, buckle in for the unhinged tale of Evel Kneivel.


Do not try this at home…
