Holy Jeebus!

I remember watching him when I was a kid. The only thing that comes close now is that guy who freezes himself in ice, but that is not anywhere near as exciting as a rocket car.

Yes.

Then the legend lives on i guess.

The stuff his son and other X-gamers can do today with modern Japanese MX bikes makes Evel's stunts look tame. Evel usually fell of his heavy Harley even though he made a decent landing.

Anyway, RIP. What a cool guy.

Missing a great showman!

There wasn't a kid in the 70's that wasn't glued to the television everytime Evil made a jump. I'll damn sure miss him!
