MOTORCYLE daredevil Robbie Knievel successfully completed a shortened jump at the weekend at the Texas Motor Speedway in the US.

Knievel’s stunt big success

Knievel, the son of the late stunt legend Evel Knievel, jumped over 21 Hummer vehicles, four less than had originally been planned because of a headwind gusting more than 50km/h.

The landing ramp protected the last three of the SUVs in the line, though Knievel easily cleared the vehicles and avoided crashing even after hitting the ramp off-centre.
