THE TOWN
Butte, Montana was built on copper, and the steel towers over the shafts are still standing — about a dozen of them, ninety-nine to two hundred feet tall, lit up at night since 2003. Miners called them gallus frames, from gallows frames, and nobody pretended not to know why. Every man who rode that cage down knew the odds going in.
Robert Craig Knievel worked those mines before he ever stood on a ramp. So when people wonder where a man finds the nerve to point a rocket at a canyon, there's your answer. He came from a town where going to work meant stepping into something named after a hanging.
THE DESIGN
A retro stunt graphic set alongside the Gallus Frame — his hometown and his first job in one image. Throwback Americana, 1970s energy, and the silhouette every person from Butte recognises on sight.
