some of my fondest memories as a child were watching him on TV and watching my brother and his friends trying to be like him...

Oh man!!!! and I was just out in Idaho by the Snake River Canyon and was thinking of him....we didn't get to go, but I heard you can still see where they cleared away for the Big Jump.

May he rest free from pain now!!:cry: :cry: flowerforyou

His stunt cycle was one of the coolest toys ever. If we knew in the 70's that they'd now be selling for over $400 maybe we wouldn't have been trying to jump them over our houses!

It's hard to take; the death of a Legend!

I had his stunt cycle. Was way fun. Was him for Halloweeen several years. Loved Wide World of Sports. Always have Evil on there.

"Hey Lois, did you know Evil Knieval was born in Montana?"

Seriously, I grew up in the northwest, watching him on t.v. Everyone at some point tried some stupid stunt pretending we were him.

May he go to what ever stunt person heaven there is out there.
