Evel Knievel... R.I.P.

[unclejimbo]

Whether you liked him or not, he was there. Periodically showing up on ABC's Wide World of Sports jumping something ridiculous. His bike is at the Smithsonian and he has broken a Guiness record 37 bones in his body. I think the term is ballsy...
He never did get another shot at Caesar's Palace, footage here, (although his son Robby made that jump) nor the Snake River jump (rumor has it that Robby want to try that one too...) He was the first of his kind and truly one of a kind.

Rest well, Evel. We'll be looking forward to your next stunt. Probably involving clouds and stars or some such.
