re-creating Evel Knievel's Snake River Jump

Mad Rocket Man Mike
Michael's dream has always been to recreate the most famous jump that his hero Evel Knievel ever attempted
and will pay tribute to Evel by recreating his X-2 Skycycle jump over the Snake River Canyon almost 34 years ago.
The jump rocket propulsion unit and ramp system will be similar to
the ones used by Evel Knievel.
The prototype is presently under construction by Michael Hughes and his
Team of Rocket Propulsion Engineers.

Bob Hope Memorial located next to the Midway Aircraft Carrier museum in San Diego along

Doug's website speaks very highly of Bob Truax.
You'll find links to Doug's other websites which are quite impressive and worth visiting.
There's more pictures of that Historic day that you can see by clicking the
1972 picture of Evel Knievel and Doug Malewicki below.
The 2007 picture of Doug with the X-1 SkyCycle Model takes you to his main site.
Doug may have lost his "Cool Striped Pants" but his websites make up for this by having some of the
"Coolest" inventions ever made.
Both pictures were stolen from Doug with permission.
