I didn't know until just now.
That's a bummer - I grew up watching him.
RIP
.

I grew up covering my eyes whenever he was on.

Who among us did not go ride our Stingray bike off a ramp into a tree and pretend to get injured while pretending to be Evel? here was a man with the audacity to dress up like a superhero complete with cape and actually fly. Evel really was a superhero.

Hey brad, when did you find EK was a raving bigot? You didn't? Takes some of the shine off this apple, huh?

Yesterday I just happened to run into a hot live version of Roger Mcguinn tune

... Seems like Mcguinn wrote a Evel Kneivel esque (2:37) tune ... well, kinda sorta

it's got a jump in it ... I'll just leave the rest up to your own interpretation.

... and to my friend Chris F. R. 1949 - 2007 RIP

RIP EK. FO MR.ED. LUV GC

Should read...FUCK OFF MR.ED...Sorry for the typo.

Even with the abbreviations,..

I got it,.. I got it.

Almost wet myself laughing.

Me too

I got to see him jump the buses in the Astrodome, sometime in the late sixtes. Awesome.

A great tribute would be a gang of modern motorcyle jumpers dressed in his Captain America clothes and cape to jump over a pile of electronic voting machines set a blaze in the center area to mark the abolishment of their use in US elections. Used effective by bastards of the big corporate machine over and over and over to easily steal elections of the people at the click of a mouse.
