I do not play with Luck, I play with Death.

Yeah. But, unlike some crazy egomaniacs, he earned it.

Watching a 2 hour doc on history channel, what a crazy egomaniac.

I was about 11 or 12 years old when he hit his peak in the early 70s. That was a great time to be alive!
Stealing sheets of plywood from constructions sites, so we could build illicit bicycle-jumping ramps was a popular activity among me and my friends about this time.
Eventually we rigged up our local version of the Snake River Canyon jump: a ramp that launched us into about the middle of the local river, where it was about 20 feet deep. We'd swim back to shore, and then use a rope to haul our bikes back out.
For some reason, that one summer, our bikes rusted an awful lot.

I just heard he has a record in the Guinness Book of World Records as having broken the most bones.

RIP Evel!
In honor of Evel i'm going to bust out the old BMX and do my version of an epic stunt; jump the curb. Don't laugh! it's not about how high or long you can jump. It's about the effort!!
RIP!

My Toy design teacher in college Mr G. worked with him on his Ideal Toys motorcycle toy(1970's). He told us they were doing a photo shoot at the hotel and Evel went up to the room and pulled out a gun and shot it into the pool a few times, where everyone was. He then called the cops and ran back to the pool, when they showed up he told them there was some guy in one of the rooms shooting at them. He sat back and watch the show.
R.I.P - Evel and Mr G.
