robbie-as-kaptain-knievelRobbie Knievel will be jumping the 200 feet of 25 cars at 4 p.m. Saturday at Spotlight 29 Casino in Coachella.

“Kaptain” Robbie Knievel, heir to the family tradition started by his father, Evel, plans to jump some 200 feet over 25 cars on his Honda CR500 motocross cycle before a crowd outside Spotlight 29 Casino in Coachella.

“It’s always been this stupid idea of mine to jump 25 hearses on Halloween, and these guys called me to come and do this,” Knievel said earlier this month. “And I said, ‘If you can get me the hearses, I’ll do the jump.’”

They could not find 25 hearses so they are going with 25 cars that were loaned from a local dealership.

In an age of computer-generated special effects, high-definition televisions and IMAX 3-D theaters, there’s still nothing like watching someone risk life and limb on a motorcycle stunt. At 200 feet, Knievel’s jump on Saturday will be a longer ride through the sky than his typical jumps. So if you are in the area admission is free so check it out!
