Following in his father’s footsteps, Robbie never saw anything that he couldn’t jump over with his motorcycle, including pickup trucks, semis, busses, and even military aircraft on the deck of an aircraft carrier. 8)
His Grand Canyon jump on May 20, 1999, was one of Knievel's most famous jumps. The jump was partially based on Robbie's father's desire to perform a Grand Canyon jump, yet would end up doing the rocket-propelled Snake River Canyon jump. On May 20, 1999, Robbie jumped his motorcycle for a personal record of 228 feet.
However, Knievel lost control of the bike on landing and broke his leg in the ensuing crash.
