This is off the subject of Civilian Space Access, but related to Civilian Rocketry! I have been planning and working on a project for about 20 years now and it is time to make it happen! The project is "In Honor of Evel!" Back to the Canyon!™ I plan to jump the Snake River Canyon in a vehicle called the X-3 SkyCycle!™ Yes we are going to honor Evel Knievel, Twin Falls Idaho, and Finish what Evel Started!
Plans had been made to perform this jump with Evel in attendance, but sadly Evel has past on. Evel attempted to jump the Snake River Canyon on Sept 8, 1974, but due to a mechanical malfunction and wind conditions he did not make it! He gave his word and did what he said, but was robbed of success and lucky to live through it! I am sure he will be there and be our copilot!
Two other individuals are also planning an attempt at this time, Robbie Knievel (of course which is only fitting) and Michael Hughes (although he has chosen to jump the Colorado river at Lake Havasu, AZ) So the race is on to see who will be the first! Then who will go to Infinity and Beyond.....!
I have posted a short video teaser on YouTube! Search for "In Honor of Evel!"
