The son of stunt legend Evel Knievel has completed a spectacular motorbike jump in Texas.
Robbie "Kaptain" Knievel safely landed his bike after speeding over 21 Hummer vehicles.
The 46-year-old - who has made more than 450 jumps since he was nine years old - took to the skies at Texas Motor Speedway before the IndyCar Series race.
In 2001, he jumped the starting grid of 20 Indy Cars before a race.
Knievel had originally planned to tackle four more Hummers but they were removed because of strong head winds.
It was the daredevil's second jump in two weeks - at Kings Island in Ohio he cleared 24 delivery trucks lined up side by side.
Evel Knievel, who died in November, jumped 14 buses there in 1975.
Before the latest stunt, Robbie described his dad as a "great man, a great legend".
