R.I.P. to an icon of my youth...

Amazing that he made it long enough for "natural causes" to apply. I have an Evil Knievel scar on my elbow from I was a little kid. I'd watched that movie he was in and decided to try to jump my dad's truck on my Schwinn. The truck and I lived through it, but my Schwinn died tragically when it impacted the side of the bed of the truck.

Did you do any such silly things when you were a Squire, Sir W?
 
i grew up on Evel Knievel myself.

And all of my goofy assed brothers felt the need to imitate him and have me as a witness. :confused:

NPR interviewed one of his sons tonight.

By all accounts, he was a good father, a good man, and a hell of a daredevil.

May he rest in peace.
 
Good night Snake Canyon jumping man. May you rest in peace.
 
Without him the show Jackass would be nothing.

Because of watching him I now still have a huge scar extending from my foot to above my knee *nods sagely* he was a good guy.

At 15, I actually tried to jump a local creek on a 100cc trail bike once. The damn bike didn't have near enough power, and I ended up on my back in the water on the far side of the creek while the stupid mechanical horse climbed the rest of the way up over the bank without me, then fell down. I swear the s.o.b. was laughing at me as it spit mud and grass at me on its way up.
 
I know he's been sick for a long time. I knows he's glad to be out of his suffering. I've seen his son do stunts but the magic isn't the same
 
Godspeed, daredevil. I loved your shows as a kid, and did all kinds of stupid shit after I watched them.

Makes me want to see them again.

Sad news indeed. Thank you for posting this, Sir Winston.
 
May You forever enjoy the winds of Heaven in Your face and an angels wings around You, Daredevil. Rest in peace. :rose:
 
He can fly across the Grand Canyon anytime he wants now.

Found this on Wikipedia

On April 1, 2007, Knievel announced to a worldwide audience that he "believed in Jesus Christ" for the first time. He professed his personal faith in Christ to more than 4,000 people who gathered inside the Crystal Cathedral for Palm Sunday services in Orange County, California, and to millions via an Hour of Power telecast of the service to over 100 countries.[4]

Knievel told how he had refused for 68 years to convert to Christianity because he didn’t want to surrender his lifestyle of "the gold and the gambling and the booze and the women." He explained his conversion experience by saying, "All of a sudden, I just believed in Jesus Christ. I did, I believed in him!"[5] Knievel said he knew people were praying for him, including his daughter's church, his ex-wife's church, and the hundreds of people who wrote letters urging him to believe.

Knievel recounted how he "rose up in bed and, I was by myself, and I said, 'Devil, Devil, you bastard you, get away from me. I cast you out of my life….' I just got on my knees and prayed that God would put his arms around me and never, ever, ever let me go."[6] At his request, he was baptized before the congregation and TV cameras by Dr. Robert H. Schuller, Founding Pastor of the Crystal Cathedral. Christianity Today reported that "...Knievel's testimony triggered mass baptisms at the Crystal Cathedral."[6]
 
I remember my Evil Knievel toys as a kid. This just makes me feel my own mortality.

RIP EK - and watch over those who follow in your footsteps.
