TWIN FALLS, Idaho (AP) -- A spokesman for Robbie Knievel says the daredevil's proposal to jump the Snake River Canyon won't happen over the July 4th holiday, but could happen in September if Twin Falls officials agree to help pay for things like security.

Jeff Lowe made the comments on Thursday, the same day The Times-News reported that city officials hadn't heard from Knievel since last May, when he proposed taking on the stunt his late father Evel Knievel failed to complete in 1974.

In a comment posted in the Times-News web site, Lowe suggested that city officials could offer more financial support for the event that would be an "economic boon" to Twin Falls.

Lowe says he'll have a business plan to the chamber of commerce next week.
