Over Knievel’s career, it’s said that he has broken every bone in his body more than one time. He is known for wearing his red, white, and blue jumpsuit when doing his famous motorcycle stunts. His most known stunt was the attempt to jump over the Snake River Canyon in 1974. He failed the jump but he had received a lot of publicity for it.
The movie, “Viva Knievel” was spawned in 1977 as a result of the publicity from the failed jump over the Snake River Canyon three years prior.
Before his death, Evel Knieval had settled a law suit early in the week with Kanye West. It was over the use of “Evel Kanyevel” in the video “Touch the Sky.” The two were satisfied from what Knievel had told The Associated Press.
