Knievel's son sets new record
Evel Knievel's son has broken his own father's record by jumping over 24 buses at a theme park in Ohio.
Robbie Kaptain Knievel broke the record his dad set 30 years ago by 10 buses at Kings Island amusement park near Cincinnati.
Evel Knievel jumped 115 feet over 14 buses at Kings Island in 1975 in an event that was watched by more than half of the nation's television viewers.
He died last year at the age of 69 after suffering from failing health for many years.
Robbie Knievel dedicated his stunt to his father, US war veterans and those serving in the military.
Knievel, 46, is now considering a future attempt at jumping the Snake River Canyon on the Snake River near Twin Falls, Idaho, a feat his father failed at in 1974.
