Eddie Braun

Eddie Braun & Evel Spirit achieved what Evel Knievel could not: Jump the Snake River Canyon in a steam-powered rocket near Twin Falls, Idaho, September 17, 2016. Steve Dondero was hired as the official stills photographer, and captured thousands of images; this gallery shows just those images selected from Eddie's team so far.
Update: The movie "Stuntmant," directed by Kurt Mattila and supported by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Executive Producer, debuted at the LA Film Festival in September 2018 and won the Audience Award for Best Documentary.

A Lifetime Dream Achieved
Eddie Braun takes his first steps away from his steam-powered rocket in a wind-swept field after successfully blasting over the Snake River Gorge and parachuting into a nearby bean field. The damage to the rocket from impact is visible at it's front; though extremely sore, Eddie walked away without any major injuries.
