Video: Eddie Braun jumps the Snake River Canyon in an Evel Knievel-style rocket bike

Stunt man Eddie Braun has achieved

his childhood dream, successfully jumping the Snake River Canyon in Idaho in a treacherous steam-powered rocket bike. Completing Evel Knievel's dream and (we believe) setting a Guinness World Record in the process, Braun hit the button and launched himself over the canyon in a hissing rush of high-G acceleration that saw him hit speeds up to 430 mph (693 km/h) within a matter of 3-4 seconds. New Atlas was right there on site – here's some raw video of this extraordinary feat.
