Evel never dies


Evel Knievel died yesterday.




He was trying to jump the Snake River on this.









A glorious death, as predicted in this Evel biopic poster starring George Hamilton.




He didn't limit his daredevilism to motorcycles.



This was one of favorite toys when i was little. I was even thinking about buying one on ebay,


but I had second thoughts because I didn't want to end up like this guy:

i had the same evel toy - but i think mine was yellow. i did not have the pre-made wussy jumps tho, we made out own and, of course, used real fire. I am sure that case used the fake fire, because that is how he rolls.

no, i used sharp poisonous fire -- the most dangerous kind.
