SOBRE ESTE EPISÓDIO
In this episode of State Lore, we dive into the legend of Evel Knievel and his daring attempt to jump Idaho’s Snake River Canyon in 1974. It was a stunt that captured America’s imagination—a feat of pure guts, a rocket-powered “Skycycle,” and a canyon as wide as the odds were long. We’ll explore the wild story behind Knievel’s most infamous jump, the spectacle that drew crowds and TV cameras, and the unexpected twists that defined the day. Join us as we uncover the myth, the man, and the canyon that almost swallowed him whole.
