Evel Kneivel was my first hero growing up. I watched everything he did and followed his career through the good and the bad. I was into motorcycles because of him and probably got some of my attitude from him. All of the extreme moto-x riders of today owe it all to him. He will always be a legend and a hero to me.

Big game hunting venture http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...Knievel.jpgwas interesting in this article, never knew about that until now.

 

Weird....my buddy Jon and I were just talking about him like two hours ago and neither of us knew he was dead. At least he died of old age rather than jumping of a cliff like expected.

 

what do you mean, "old age"? guess you must be young. us old age people like to think 80 or 90 or older is "old age".

 

Now there was a guy who had a set of b***s bigger than all of us put together.

R.I.P. Evel

 

Amen to that

It's not the years, it's the mileage!
Evel will always be a hero to me!

 

One great true to life super hero!

 

Living a life like Evel gives you a life expectancy of maybe like 40 at most. 69 is old for a man like that.

 

well said and it was truly a legend for peoples all over the world.
