Evel Knievel: America’s dastardly daredevil (with Horatio Gould) | Part one
from The Upshot · host The Upshot
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.
