MASON, Ohio (AP) - Robbie "Kaptain" Knievel successfully jumped over 24 delivery trucks Saturday night at the site of one of his father's most famous stunts.

Knievel had said he would be going 95 miles per hour during the 220-foot jump, which began from a tall ramp and was completed amid wild cheers, booming explosions and shooting flames at Kings Island amusement park near Cincinnati.

After landing, the daredevil gave the crowd a thumbs-up, raced his bike back and forth and popped a wheelie.

Evel Knievel jumped 115 feet over 14 buses at Kings Island in 1975 in an event that was watched by more than half of the nation's television viewers. He died last year at the age of 69 after suffering from failing health for many years.

Robbie Knievel dedicated his stunt to his father, U.S. war veterans and those serving in the military.

Sweet, the good ol days kept alive!!

Evel was only 69, man he looked much older the last time I saw him...


These stunts are spectacular imo.... Positive entertainment is very inportant to the world... I hope he can successfully continue to do this type of stuff for a decade or two more..... He gets a thumbs up from me.... I still cannot wheelie a bike.....

Positive entertainment to say the least. I love to see real stuff like this this. Would be kind of boring to see Chris Angel float a bike over all that stuff.
