You beat me to it, Isorski. I grew up watching this guy, heck emulating him. Except I jumped matchboxes with my bike instead of school buses with my Harley. What a loss of a piece of Americana...
Hats off to Evel Knievel. "A man who certainly didn't need more courage, but could have benefited from a lot more physics."
The guy led such a strange and tragic life. Check out his wikipedia entry.
