Discussion on Evel Knievel died... within the The Sarlacc Pit forum, part of the Community category; How sad that Evel is gone. When I think back
How sad that Evel is gone. When I think back to my childhood and all the toys I played with, I remember revving up that motorcycle with him on it, you know the one, it had a ramp and you would turn the crank until the motorcycle was ready to take off. How many times did we pretend to be him on our bmx bikes jumping over things in the yard or at the playground. Anyway, I thought he was a cool guy. He'll be missed.

agreed, I also had the EK stuntcycle and I played with that till I wore a hole in the carpet. the man loved his jack daniels. he even had booze in the staff of the cane he walked around with which ultimatley led to his demise. very cool dude...RIP

He definately was one of the best stuntsman there ever was.
Let me tell you guys something. He had BIG BALLS for doing the stuff he did. I certainly wouldnt have ever even attempted half the stuff he does.
The thing about the jumps and stuff he did that made it spectacular was that he did it on an old Harley without all the special shocks and suspensions that today's bikes have. So yeah, he had some big brass ones.Originally Posted by 987654321a
Loved Evil as a Kid! Had one of the Stuntcycles and used to send him of the top of the stairs! I even broke my front tooth off and ended up eatin' dirt whilst trying to do an Evil jump on my chopper! Ahhh, Those were the days!
Evel is dead !!thats a **** shame
that guy had guts, and was a hero of mine for sure.
Like many others I spent many hours playing wit the motorcycle stunt set
and rocket cycle. And now the new released stunt set.
A great man
good run considering his profession. yeah his stunts were pretty amazing.
A legend in his own life time.
my favorite toy as a kid!!!

Evel will be missed!!
Wow. Just wow. Had the motorcycle too
Just wow.
