Evel Knievel-Dead at 69
Evel Kneivel was my first hero growing up. I watched everything he did and followed his career through the good and the bad. I was into motorcycles because of him and probably got some of my attitude from him. All of the extreme moto-x riders of today owe it all to him. He will always be a legend and a hero to me.

Weird....my buddy Jon and I were just talking about him like two hours ago and neither of us knew he was dead. At least he died of old age rather than jumping of a cliff like expected.

Old Age!!!!!
what do you mean, "old age"? guess you must be young. us old age people like to think 80 or 90 or older is "old age".

It's not the years, it's the mileage!
Evel will always be a hero to me!

Living a life like Evel gives you a life expectancy of maybe like 40 at most. 69 is old for a man like that.
