Where will be Robbie Knievel buried? Burial site and Find a Grave details

Robert Edward Knievel II (May 7, 1962 – January 13, 2023) was an American stunt performer and the son of Evel Knievel. He has also used the code name “Kaptain Robbie Knievel”.

Robbie Knievel was born in California, the son of stuntman Robert “Evel” Knievel and his first wife, Linda. Knievel was the third of four children (two boys and two girls), named after his paternal grandfather. Krysten and Karmen Knievel are Knievel’s two daughters. He also has a granddaughter, Analise, and a grandson, Kane.

Knievel started jumping his bicycle at the age of four and riding motorcycles at the age of seven. At the age of eight, he played his first act at Madison Square Garden with his father. At the age of 12, he was on tour with his father, performing in the pre-jump shows.

Between 1975 and 1976, Knievel attended Central Catholic High School in Butte, Montana, although he never graduated. His father objected to him lengthening his jumps. Knievel then went alone after his father gave him permission.

Knievel’s jumping career differs significantly from his father’s in that, until 2009, Robbie used high-performance Honda CR500 motocross bikes specifically intended for jumping. Evel used a Harley-Davidson XR-750 motorcycle for the majority of his record-breaking jumps. Because the Honda is a motocross bike and the Harley is a flat-track racing motorcycle, the XR-750 is much heavier and less nimble than the CR500.

With the exception of two of his father’s greatest accomplishments: a Harley-Davidson XR-750 leap and the Snake River Canyon jump using the X-2 Skycycle, Robbie has made and often repeated Evel’s jumps (including Evel’s 1967 Caesars Palace accident).

Although it was never tried, Robbie declared that he would utilize an XR-750 to clear a record-breaking 16 buses, three more than his father attempted at Wembley Stadium in 1975. (the current record for jumping a Harley-Davidson XR-750 is 15 buses, currently held by Bubba Blackwell). In addition, Robbie indicated that he would attempt to recreate his father’s unsuccessful rocket jump over the Snake River Canyon near Twin Falls, Idaho in 1974.

Robbie accomplished almost 340 leaps, setting 20 world records in the process.

Knievel’s live leaps included the Caesars Palace jump, the Las Vegas building-to-building jump, a jump over a moving train, a jump in front of the volcano at the Mirage Hotel, and the Grand Canyon jump.
