The King is Dead, long live the king


Evil Knievel has passed away. Okay it was yesterday but maybe like me he was one of your boyhood heroes? I had his toy jump cycle like a thousand other kids and he inspired me like a thousand other kids to build ramps and launch skyward on two wheels long before bmx bikes.
The original action sports hero.
I salute you Evil as you go to the great ramp in the sky...
