Robbie's truck says "leaving a legend" with a photo of his father Robert Craig "Evel" Knievel and his photo.
At Kings Island amusement park in Ohio, we watched Robbie Knievel break the record, jumping more semis, breaking his own father's record that was set at the same exact place many years ago.
The kids loved the excitement and it gave us a great opportunity to discuss the importance of setting goals, achieving them, and setting even higher goals...a cycle of success. Sports can give you an opportunity to discuss risk taking and challenging yourself.
If you are looking to inspire your child with sports with speed, you may want to check out the AMA flat track motorcycle events. Locations vary each year, but here's four classic locations:
1) Allen County Fairgrounds, Lima, OH, pea-gravel half mile track adds a challenge, late June
2) Peoria Race Park, Peoria, IL, a historic site with a high flying jump sending riders 140 ft. plus into the air, August
3) Indiana State Fairgrounds, Indianapolis, IN, AMA notes a high energy audience, July
4) Springfield Mile, Springfield Illinois (IL), known as the crown jewel of the AMA Pro Flat Track, it's a tradition both Memorial and Labor Day weekends
