On a day dubbed "Like Father, Like Son" day at King's Island, Robbie
Knievel broke his legendary dad's world record Saturday night.

It was Oct. 25, 1975 when Robbie watched his father, Evel Knievel, make
history jumping over 14 Greyhound buses at King's Island Amusement Park in
Mason.

It was the final jump of Evel's career and that is likely what brought
Robbie back here after all these years to finish his 37-year daredevil
career.

"Kaptain" Robbie Knievel jumped over 24 Coke Zero trucks on Saturday in
front of a crowd of thousands at the park, surpassing his father's
record-setting jump in length.

Tom Turner of Kings Mills was thrilled to have witnessed it.
