good observation krahpula. I think the jumps would be more spectacular if shown in actual speed of the jump. I sometimes wondered what the Ceasars Palace jump would look like in actual speed.
I agree this was a beautiful jump for him. I went to his '76 Seattle jump and even as an 11 y/o I always thought he was often front end low. I'm glad my son had a chance to meet him before he passed. You could really tell he didn't give much of a crap for us older dudes but did noticably like the kids. I think he cared about them alot. RIP
This jump took place on March 29, 1974. The XR-750 Harley-Davidson Evel used weighed 290 lbs with 90 horsepower, not much heavier than dirt bikes of the same era (A 1976 Suzuki RM-370 weighed 225 lbs with 42 horsepower) . It was not a custom bike, it was a factory built flat-track racer. The only advantage a dirtbike would have had was more suspension travel, giving you a better chance of not being "bucked" off on landing. The XR may have been heavier, but slow, it wasn't.
maybe not greater, but higher and faster; his wipeouts also helped identify him; also, his American identity. He was Captain America for me growing up in the heartland!
This man was my GOD about 1976 when I was in the eighth grade. We had Alice Cooper, KISS, and Evel.....that was it. No internet. TV sucked, radio sucked. but I did eat my first "microdot", lol......
For all you Evel fans out there there's a biography of him coming out in May written by Leigh Montville. I'm reading an advanced copy now and it fucking rocks! Evel had balls of titanium!
There is a discrepancy in this video. Maybe I'm missing something here. The date of the video is 3/31/73. The snake river canyon jump was 9/8/74. The interim between the aforementioned dates is approximately a year and half. Evel states in the after-jump interview, after listing a few scheduled jumps, "then we're going to the canyon, Sunday Septempber the 8th and I will see you there." Why is he speaking as if the jump is only weeks away? Somebody please supply the missing link here. lol
Evel jumped with Harley Davidson XR 750s..An fuck you to the guy that said he was a pussy..Evel was anything but a pussy..All jumpers today are pussies compared to Evel
@mrking Check out Hoboscouts "favorites" list, and you will see that he features EXCLUSIVELY MALES. He'll be dead in a few years anyway, from all the butt-pounding that he receives!

He was way more exciting than jumpers now because no one thought it could be done. Now it's like a circus, you just expect everything to go as planed and you have no Idea who the riders are. He was the king.
If you like motor cycles and jumping you like Evel. If you like rock and roll you like Elvis. Otherwise you have a chip missing and can't be trusted.
I like rock and roll but hate Elvis. My chip is fine, thank you. Elvis was a racist pig and a fad that somehow became legendary long after his death. White trash.
He's no more racist than any other rocker. You could argue that all Rock n Roll is racist. Elvis broke down racial barriers, made "colored" music acceptable to "white folks"
Elvis invented Rock n Roll with borrowed ingredients, but it's his recipe that made it what it is. The fact u call him a fad proves u can't be trusted because you have no idea what you are looking at when u see him. Nothing less than the beginning and end of Rock n Roll itself. The only honest rock after Elvis is Sexpistols
Elvis was quoted saying something to the effect that the only thing black people were good for was shining his shoes. That speaks volumes. Oh yeah, your comment about not trusting me made me laugh out loud. See, I've been a musician over 35 years now. I think I know rock and roll pretty well. Nice try though.
Then you know Elvis invented it. Racism is beside the point. EVERYone in the 50's was racist. Most people still are, if thats your criteria, then you wont have much to listen to. Chuck berry was a peeping tom and probably a pedo as well, but he still rocked great music. So who is your top pick for Rock? I assume it's not Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Elvis invented rock? Oh please, don't make me laugh. Elvis borrowed from all different styles of music and made his own thing with it, but it was hardly the birth of rock music. I'm a musician, so I like bands with great musicianship. Rush pops to mind, as they are all excellent musicians that have never sold out once and are still making albums over 30 years in the business. There are many others I am influenced by.
There's no accounting for taste, but John Lennon wasn't kidding when he said "Before Elvis there was nothing", there wasn't. All the flash, glamour and excitement that is Rock n Roll started with Elvis. It's why he's called the King. No one can compare to what he did. Who could?
Prog rock is a little different, it is barely rock n roll. It's like Rock n Roll minus sex appeal, which really isn't rock then. There are some prog. crossovers like rush, Steely dan, pink floyd,
Well, if anything, Elvis brought music into the realm of fad. Everybody has a gimmick today. But that doesn't make him the inventor of rock. It might make him the inventor of fad rock. Prog rock is every bit rock and roll as anything else. It's smart rock, instead of babes and "I love you" lyrics. Again, you seem to hang on the fad side of it.
Rush pops to mind .That they Suck ! The guy that sings blows! & His voice is the worst in all of muisic. Never mind the pain it causes to look at the pr*ck. I have a pal that likes them too> ok..
But they are a major influence to U ? Wow. Real musicians ok but put them all together and Yikes. Good thing thier shows don't sale out-so you can always sit up front. Tom Sawyer ? Go read the book. Is that racist to ? Ooops. Broaden your Ears with something else > Elvis was the first ROCK STAR =KING
Spoken like true white trash. Rush is beyond your simple mind to comprehend, which is why you say they suck. Get smart, listen to quality music instead of white trash like Elvis. I suppose you think he's better than The Beatles too? LOL
we all will miss the greatest dare devil i know its odd but i named a rooster after him cause the rooster kept jumping from high places like my shoulder and the rooster was less then two months old that is why i did that i miss them both
he could have been an even greater stunt jumper, but due to his insistance on using american heavy harly customs. the speed was too low and the weight too high. a stripped down lighter bike and he would have performed the stunts and landed safely
@wriggly40 Honda, Norton, Triumph and Laverda. He went through all these before he used a Harley. In any case, the Harley XR750 that he used was (and is) one of the winning-est race bikes of all time.
@ardvarkkkkk That's true but only because the AMA rules were so slanted towards Harley that nobody else even bothered to show up. The Harley XR750 was an antiquated design when it was conceived and remained that way until Harley discontinued it.
@tonypybus They no longer sell the whole bike, just the engine. The AMA now requires the XR 750 engine to run with intake restrictors to even the playing field so others can be competitive. 60 years and its still winning.
Dont know why you had thumbs down,on that doc with hammond he was a arrogant twat.."hey everyone look at me"..he was only famous for being crazy and falling off his bike all time!!!
He certainly did have brass balls. He was the man. He was the Elvis of daredevils. He was the king of what he did. Evel was every kid's hero at that time, including mine. -Mike (born 1970)
The Bikes today are so much lighter ..better suspension... Thet are made for jumping. I agree with the other guy. You try and jump a heavy Harley. Evel was the best. Robby learned from the best. Who in the Knievel family is next?
In 1994, in Sunnyvale, California, during a domestic disturbance call, police found several firearms in Knievel's car. He was convicted and ordered to perform 200 hours of community service for a weapons violation.

yeah nesman? so what. no one said he was perfect but when he fucked up he dealt with the consequences and didn't make excuses. why don't you get a life you loser/failure. most everyone hates you.
Right , Sure he did. He trashed people that he said screwed him but he screwed over plenty of people. He lied about many things including the attack on Sheldon Saltman. Evel and his lawyer had complete editorial control over the book Evel Knievel On Tour but lied about Saltman writing a book without his approval. I don't really care what you think. Everything I post is true.
You're an idiot nesnman. There's always someone like you knocking the pop culture icons. I'm sure EvelKnievel is heartbroken that you don't appreciate him. I had the EvelKnievel toy growing up. Where's the nesnman toy? I bet it was some sort of butt plug.
after watching richards hammond interveiw with evel i agree with you, i used to think he was cool but he didnt make many jumps and his attitude was poor and agressive
Hammond was pretty much a snob (IMO) Evel was really sick then and He gave the BBC more than they were worth. Evel always treated me like a true gentelman. and BTW he made over 300 jumps with 97% of them successful
Mr. Jump - you were my hero back in 70-ties in socialistic Slovakia when I could see only a handful of pictures of your incredible stunt - and you will stay in my heart like that forever
Evel was one of my first idols. The man knew how to get people excited about his jumps. He pioneered the daredevil business and changed the world of motorcycle entertainment.
good observation krahpula. I think the jumps would be more spectacular if shown in actual speed of the jump. I sometimes wondered what the Ceasars Palace jump would look like in actual speed.

In 1994, in Sunnyvale, California, during a domestic disturbance call, police found several firearms in Knievel's car. He was convicted and ordered to perform 200 hours of community service for a weapons violation.

Evel hated all the above. I didn't cry when he died. I wouldn't have cried when Hilter died either.

Reggie1971 3 years ago
yeah nesman? so what. no one said he was perfect but when he fucked up he dealt with the consequences and didn't make excuses. why don't you get a life you loser/failure. most everyone hates you.
philjac2001 3 years ago
Right , Sure he did. He trashed people that he said screwed him but he screwed over plenty of people. He lied about many things including the attack on Sheldon Saltman. Evel and his lawyer had complete editorial control over the book Evel Knievel On Tour but lied about Saltman writing a book without his approval. I don't really care what you think. Everything I post is true.

As for you calling me a loser/failure I can only say that I'm not. But Knievel was . He was also a drunk .
nesnman 3 years ago
You're an idiot nesnman. There's always someone like you knocking the pop culture icons. I'm sure EvelKnievel is heartbroken that you don't appreciate him. I had the EvelKnievel toy growing up. Where's the nesnman toy? I bet it was some sort of butt plug.

Wow. What a wonderful thought from you . Idiot. Evel Knievel was a goon. A drunk. A tax cheat. A wife Beater.

after watching richards hammond interveiw with evel i agree with you, i used to think he was cool but he didnt make many jumps and his attitude was poor and agressive
in my opinion

Hammond was pretty much a snob (IMO) Evel was really sick then and He gave the BBC more than they were worth. Evel always treated me like a true gentelman. and BTW he made over 300 jumps with 97% of them successful

Evel was my hero from the time I was 13 years old. He was the finest of stunt men. He will be missed, but will not be forgotten. God Bless you Evel.

Mr. Jump - you were my hero back in 70-ties in socialistic Slovakia when I could see only a handful of pictures of your incredible stunt - and you will stay in my heart like that forever

Evel was one of my first idols. The man knew how to get people excited about his jumps. He pioneered the daredevil business and changed the world of motorcycle entertainment.
