Original Sin City Dirt....Evel Jumping the Fountains at CaesarsWho is the originator of Man as we know it????? Easy answer Evel Knievel (o.k. Chuck Norris may be mixed in there as well). In a society were it is no longer cool to be a man (in the sense of Burt Reynolds in "Stuntman" or Clint Eastwood in "High Planes Drifter") we lost a true icon. Evel encompassed manhood in a pure and true sense. He did not care if it was a "good idea" or if it was "logical" he just did it. If he failed he just healed and went on to the next jump. I can remember being a kid a watching prime time televised Evel events and thinking how cool he was. So Evel, Sin City Dirt salutes you and all that you stood for. Fare thee well.........

I was actually sort of sad when I read this -- he was one of those kind of weirdo sort of icons that you couldn't help but admire.
He wasn't really great! I think he's actually a frod in other words he's complete bull@#$!
I thnk the guty in the mocie Hot Rod was better than him! There will be way better stunt men than him and in the future know one will remember that phony!
