Evel Knievel’s Son Planning to Celebrate Sobriety With Jump Over Butte Bar

Robbie Knievel, son of the late daredevil and international icon Evil Knievel, says he plans to celebrate his newfound sobriety by jumping over a Butte bar during Evil Knievel days next month.

Robbie is facing a drunk-driving charge after an arrest in Butte on April 21, 2015 which resulted in a four-car collision. He says he hasn't had any alcohol since then and is trying to embrace a life of sobriety. Knievel told The Montana Standard that he is planning "The Sober Jump" over the Red Zone bar during Evel Knievel Days in late July. The building is 28 feet high and 120 feet wide. Evel Knieval Days is an annual festival honoring the legacy of his father. The exact date and time of Knievel's jump has not yet been announced.
