Man I was floored when I hear that tonight. I just sat there staring at the TV for like five minutes with my jaw to the floor in disbelief.

visions of seeing him in the astrodome as a kid and playing with all my evil knievel toys just flashed through my head. My favorite was the wind up motorsycle

and i just read a story about him and Kanye West settleing some type of legal matter just the other day.

I remember watching every one of his jumps as a kid, especially the Snake River Canyon jump.

Godspeed to a great entertainer!

David, the thread might make more sense if the title were "RIP Evel"...

Makes me think of shows like ABC's Wide World of Sports when I was growing up. I can't tell you how many make shift ramps my friends and I used to build trying to act like Evel.

RIP
