Daredevil Evel Knievel Dies at Age 69

What bummer to hear this news. As a kid I lived and breathed Evel's every move. I had the toy figure and stunt cycle, I cannot tell how much fun it was to rev that thing up and send him into a flying jump only to slam into a wall. He was an icon. I still remember watching his attempt to jump the sharks live,he broke his wrist practicing so they only showed his practice jumps not the live jump. Come to think of it he wrecked way more than he succeeded in his big publicity jumps. But he was cool doing it.
