NPR confirms.
Evel was one-of-a-kind, I remember watching him jump regularly on TV as a kid, heart pounding as he built up the suspense.

I had a signed photo from him when I was growing up. I remember building a little ramp in my backyard and pretended I was jumping over buses...or the Grand Canyon.

Wow I thought he must have been older than 69!
Still a pretty good run for a guy that jumped over giant shit on a Motorcycle for a living I guess.

Damn, I'm going to have to drink some whiskey tonight in his honor. Here's a picture of a tattoo I got years ago. And yes, I know I have some hairy forearms.

i can honestly say that I've haven't seen much of his footage but I know about him. He's an icon and it's sad to see him go.

RIP, Evel!
Who among us children of the 70's didn't regularly pretend we were EK when ripping the Big Wheel around the driveway?

Damn, I remember christmas morning back in the 70's when I got my evil knievel motor home that came with ramps a figure of him and motorcycle you would wind up(it didn't have tha pull cord it had a base you put it on and you would crank a wheel on the side real fast then he would take off) so you could jump his motor home,I think it even had a gas can and a couple other small accessories,other than the christmas I got my first dirtbike(YZ 80,fast little bastard) this was probably my fondest X-mas ever..Those were tha good O'day's....
