Remembering Evel Knievel's Wembley Stadium bus jump

Forty years ago daredevil Evel Knievel attempted to jump over 13 London buses at Wembley Stadium.

He failed to clear the final bus during his 1975 bid and crashed in front 90,000 people, fracturing his pelvis and breaking his hand.

BBC London sports reporter Sara Orchard spoke to his son Kelly Knievel about his father's unusual career and met some of the fans who regard Evel Knievel as their hero.

"I Am Evel Knievel" will be broadcast on Friday 29 May at 21:00 on the Quest Channel.
