| Robbie Knievel, Son of Stunt Legend Evel Knievel, Dies at 60 The daredevil and stuntman died in hospice care after a battle with pancreatic cancer Scott Mendelson | January 13, 2023 @ 10:02 AM  Evel Knievel’s son Robbie Knievel – who was also known as Kaptain Robbie Knievel – has died at the age of 60. Kneivel’s brother has confirmed that the daredevil passed away after being in hospice following a lengthy battle with pancreatic cancer. Robbie took after his famous father’s stunt performing and was known for his death-defying motorcycle jumps. He racked up a total of 350 jumps over his lifetime. He began riding motorcycles at age 7 and his father taught him how to jump a bike over various objects. Robbie was performing by the age of 8, with his first show at Madison Square Garden in New York. He would begin touring with his father at the age of 12. In 1996, Robbie leapt over 10 limousines at the Lake Elsinore Storm Stadium in California celebrating the return of the Elsinore Grand Prix. By 2003, he was jumping over 15 Diet Pepsi trucks at the Chinook Winds Casino in Oregon. He would do likewise over 24 Coca-Cola Zero truck cabs in Ohio in 2008. One of his most famous stunts occurred in 2009 when he leapt over the man-made volcano in front of the Mirage Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. His final jump occurred in 2011 when he jumped 150 feet over tractor trailer trucks in Coachella, California. He is survived by his two daughters, Krysten and Karmen. He also has a granddaughter and grandson, Analise and Kane. His dad Evel – who was a massive star in the 1970s and 1980s – died of pulmonary disease in Clearwater, Florida, in 2007, aged 69. |

| I still remember hearing about Evel Knievel's stunts when I was a kid. Made me want to learn how to ride a motorcycle. Did my mom ever shut that down! RIP, Robbie. |

| I'm fighting cancer, so this is a bummer. Robbie Knievel and George Perez, pancreatic cancer. F$#% cancer. I'll be putting out a comic book soon, nothing to do with cancer, but anything I make from it will go to cancer/mental health research. RIP Robbie Knievel! | ||

| @makahuka Very sad to hear you're having to deal with the C-word. There are some success stories out there, so try to focus on that, even though it must be frustrating beyond comprehension.  |

| Sad to hear. He was one of those people that my whole family would watch when I was a kid. They don't have specials on TV like that anymore. There would just be a whole couple hours waiting for him to jump something insane. | ||
