May 20, 1999

The Grand Canyon jump on May 20, 1999 was one of Robbie Knievel's most famous jumps. The jump was partially based on Robbie's father's desire to perform a Grand Canyon jump, yet would end up doing the rocket-propelled Snake River Canyon jump. On May 20, 1999, Robbie jumped his motorcycle for a personal record of 228 feet. However, Knievel lost control of the bike on landing and broke his leg in the ensuing crash.

I am uploading this with the intent to keep record of this historical event. I am making absolutely no profit off of this video nor do I intend to do so. This is an event that should be shared with the world, in full. This video belongs to Newscorp or whatever. I claim no credit at all.

I have also uploaded the commercials from the event as separate videos if you are interested.
