A few more paragraphs down it shows "MIDINA, MN, April 1, 2004" the next paragraph after that it says "Blackwell will make the jump on July 24, 2004" Did Motorcyclist get the press release a few years late? Maybe it's kind of like VRA packages that many people are still waiting for... Check this link: http://www.polarisindustries.com/en-us/VRA/NewsEvents/Pages/KPCRdia... and scroll down to "Recalling the Sanke River Jump" According to Polaris "Of course, any talk of the Snake River makes many of us think back to 2004, when Victory General Manager Mark Blackwell recreated Evel Knievel?s 1974 motorcycle leap across the Snake River canyon. Unlike the famous daredevil, Blackwell, riding a nearly-stock Victory Vegas, successfully cleared the canyon" ScoreBo Posted 2011-01-04 7:52 PM (#76662 - in reply to #76487) Subject: Re: Victory to jump the Snake River Iron Butt Posts: 1117 Northeast Ohio It was an April Fools joke from 2004!
