He wasn't like this father; he actually knew how to ride a dirt bike and was pretty successful doing most of his jumps, at least as far as I can remember. It helps that he was using a modern, light bike with a suspension built for what he was doing. I still can't get over the crazy, comical, absurdity of the stuff his father was doing! When I was a kid in the '70s I had Evel Knievel toys and remember watching some of his stunts live on TV. I was totally obsessed with the guy and thought he was totally cool. 1 2 Quote

Evel was one of my childhood hero’s and I beat this toy you show to death. had a framed picture of his snake river attempt on my wall. guy was Superman on steroids. had a real impact in a positive way for me and probably thousands more. 1 1 Quote
