A part of my past just died.





I had this when I was growing up. It was one of the few toys I remember getting for Christmas from the very early years. Evel Knievel was "The MAN". And interestingly enough, most people in the past few years thought he was already dead. However, it happened to day. All of the damage from his past finally caught up with him and the man who wouldn't claim the title of Hero is dead at the age of 69.

I have to say my jaw hit the floor when i read the news of this. As it was quoted from the artical i read "superman does not die!" I guess he can and does....

Bye Evel

Evel was the only man in history known for his failures and not his triumphs.

Evel was a cool mo-fo!

I need to dig out my old Evel toys and play with 'em again, that bike was bad ass! I used to jump it and the car out of my window, which was about 25 feet above the ground, and they still kept going!!
