Yup! Remember him well from my childhood.....Saturday afternoons on Wide World of Sports doing all his jumps and stuff! It was pretty exciting for kids back then! I had the Evel Knievel motorcycle toy too.....the one you cranked and it shot across the room and jumped the ramp!!! 69 years old......RIP Evel Knievel and thanks for being a part of my childhood!

I remember painting my football helmut just like his and we used to jump our bikes over ramps we made, He was fearless. Like a real superhero to us kids.

He outlived Jim Fixx by 17 years....a motorcycle daredevil who died of natural causes..
