What are you doing on September 17th? Head to Twin Falls to watch possible history being made as  stunt man Eddie Braun will attempt Evel Knievel's famed failed jump over the Snake River Canyon.

Braun teamed up with Scott Truax, whose father helped design and build the original Sky-cycle for Evel Knievel. Truax said he want to attempt the jump with the original plans and parts to prove that the original idea his father came up with back in the early 70's would indeed work.

We've listened to reports over the past 4 years of numerous groups attempting to get permission and approval from the Twin Falls City Council to use the original jump site west of Shoshone Falls, but to no avail, so Braun and his partners decided to  instead set up a launch site to the east next to a farm field and according to Braun they have already leased the ground needed for this historic jump..

The Return to Snake River set up a Kick Starter page to help fund the event so that you can help make sure the event happens and even get your name on the cycle.  To donate click on the link below .
