Evel Knievel at Caesar's Palace

[ViolentPlayground]

Evel broke his damn skeleton.

[MikeTheTeacher]

Who shot the footage? Linda Evans, the actress. Then married to John Derek, who filmed the takeoff. She filmed the landing.

[mauijim00]

@123flycentro-- think pastrami will have HIS bike and colors in the SMITHSONIAN? See, thats where TRUE ICONS are displayed. Evel was a true original. Of course, youre probably very young , without much perspective..

[Ace97AM]

LINK has bigger balls xD

[dbmrhi]

The worlds greatest motorcycle jumper but unfortunately for him the worlds worst lander.

[myNifty350]

@flycentro123..Evel sucked huh..I'd like to see you sitting on an old Harley Davidson or a 40 year old Triumph with spring shocks facing a 180 or so foot jump over a line of trucks. It would be interesting to see what for balls you could muster.

[mnbme]

Evel was the first, a good man and a showman. YOU try jumping that stuff on a bike from that era instead of a high tech dirt bike with nearly 4x the suspension travel like Robbie does. Robbie is incredible, but all his work is built upon the foundation that Evel built back in the day.

[redS0L0cup]

At 0:50 you can see the police officers firehosing the Occupiers!

[flycentro123]

Evil Knievel sucked...These new young guys have showed what a joke Robbie and Evil both were.. a couple of drunk clowns who did nothing but crash.

[racer500gp]

@flycentro123 Moron, He did it 45 years ago on ancient technology, A 550lb Harley with almost no suspension travel. If not for him and him alone there would be NO extreme jumping on the light 2 stroke Supercross bikes of today. BTW, how many of these current guys will be remembered 100 years from now? NONE. How many will have toys, lunch boxes and pinball games names after them? NONE. Get a clue and show some respect for the greats that created the genre.

[flycentro123]

@racer500gp thats because we dont live in an era of pinball machines and lunch boxes.. it was a different time. Evil was a great marketer and only that, as far as talent on a motorcycle, he will be remembered for his crashes and failed grand canyon attempt. People wont know who Michael Jackson or Walter Payton in a 100 years from now either, but Travis Pastrana has more talent in one finger than any of the Knievel duo combined.

[racer500gp]

@flycentro123 Ok, so you're one of those Travis Pastrana guys. Ok, he did a double flip. It all makes sense now. My friend, you are a joke, have no sense of history and do not merit further discussion. Enough said.

[flycentro123]

@racer500gp actually Im not an anybody kind of guy and i grew up with an Evil Knievel wind up toy, Im simply saying that just because you have the guts to get on a piece of shit bike and try to jump things doesnt make you a legend. If that were the case me and all my friends growing up would fall into that category,, Knievel would be an unknown without the show wide world of sports. It was there on saturday afternoons you could watch him fail time and time again.

[F1IsSuperior]

@flycentro123 He's still a fucking legend.

[tinoman2]

wow,worst crash ever,rip,ramp god,even kneivel.

[garrenshot]

29 days in a coma... jeez

[StevehStudios]

He got bigger balls then.. Evel Knievel..

[29martman]

@StevehStudios and he aint gonna stop till the world is free of evil!

[kludd69]

Anthony from smosh, his vids brought me here

[Lmaoambush]

@PairHenis1 Your hairy penis brought me here.

[BaconLikesToParty]

0:27 "Hey, did i turn off the iron?"

0:30 "Hey, maybe i should get a puppy."

[KaosKrix]

EPIC.......fail.....



[Evilmonkeymanjr]

Brian Regan brought me here.

[shoogdon]

The awful fake soundtrack, the added sound effects, fake helmet impact sounds, etc. on here all detract from the event, from the memory of it, and from the experience the original film represents/conveys as a whole. This famous film footage is much better viewed just setting music to it.

[sf55forlife]

L to the I to the N to the K.....

[iPOW3R]

He would do the jump, but then he took an arrow to the knee

[geekatzombies4life]

no

[DanniAndHim]

uhmmm did he die from this?

[eman20083421]

@DanniAndHim No. He was in the hospital with numerous broken bones , concussion you know the usually stuff. It liked to killed him.

[Blackandwhite315]

@DanniAndHim nope

[70pgrew]

Evel Knievel is the ghost rider

[babysteps1]

may he rest in peices

[sfrance783]

nice one

[googoopop1]

I got here from SMOSH

[MistahFreekzy]

Smosh brought me here :D

[pa3888]

dead?



[honorarybean164]

@pa3888 no but pretty close to it

[MrDoedoe777]

Like this if you searched this from Smosh!!!!¡

[ZzIiGg10]

Link still has bigger balls

[007bondspy]

YES HE DID KEEP IT SECRET THAT HE WAS JEWISH

[MrZebradong]

SMOSH fans UNITE!

[sailingskillz]

i loike

[iiTzLeGacY]

HE'S GOT BIGGER BALLS THEN EVEN EVIL KNIEVEL

[GamerxDism]

Smosh sent me here.

[numel007]

Links got more balls

[DanteDevil2727]

L to the I to the N to the K

[Dragonreyn]

Meh, Link has bigger balls.

[Lmaoambush]

Thumbs up if Smosh brought you here.

[PairyHenis1]

@Lmaoambush your moms buttcheeks brought me here



[ArcticLost]

I guess he's not the best driver (smosh FTW!)

[pettyfire]

I heard Link's Balls are bigger than his but i beg to differ.

[Phatassify]

SMOOOOOOOOOOOSH!

[celticsarebest]

Without a helmet he gone

[SickODaniel]

good damn thing he had a helmet

[fatnynja]

The bike he used back then was shit compared to the bikes that people use today. Also the ramps were basically "home made" . He is the Elvis of all daredevils and a pioneer of fearlessness.

[LFCEOIN]

fuckin mad bastad

[lewis912010]

OUCH?

[napper1496]

pap

[omichron420]

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?!?!

[ronkrill1]

do you know who was the person who filmed this famous jump...linda evans...from DALLAS the series.

[MrUrbango]

The world cannot survive with only highly intelligent people. It also takes a few with balls. Many times, "Oh I'm not that stupid" translates to "Thats my excuse for being a chicken-shit" 

[mistervanderveer]

@MrUrbango

Well, to be fair to all the scientists who actually save lives on a daily basis (penicillin has saved hundreds of millions of lives since its "invention") I dont think throwing your life away doing a cheap stunt with a bike did much for the survival of our species.

Plus, there's also ALOT of intelligent people with balls. Intelligence is fairly common, they just know when to shut up and smile while the cavemen jump through hoops.

[mistervanderveer]

@MrUrbango But to be fair to this legend: his balls were elephant size, if not bigger.

[davewoodring]

he is a aquarius rising, like henry david thoreau and thomas jefferson, all 3 liked to take risks. The pen is mightier then the sword, thomas jefferson wrote that. Smart. David Bowie is a aquarius rising, he sung the song rebel rebel. Hum(:

[SaDClanForummotion]

what a stupid idiot lol.Isnt life tough enough to live without wrecking yourself?

[telekingkong]

Nevermind 'the landing' 30inventionman; whatever happened in this persons mind as he was growing up that he began developing such an intenslely masochistic psyche? ("Gee; I know, I'll throw myself across a canyon, or a shit-load of busses!")

I'm taking my kids tricycle away. Lol.

[maxpowers518]

Wow. Just. Wow.

[InfoAlien]

Heh, he recorded this with the new "Tinted Calculators"

[30inventionman]

what happened on the landing. is there a pyschics major that knows exactly and accurately why landing failed?

[1aauto]

I used to have the Evil Knievel stunt cycle as a kid. I loved that thing.

[GeneralMcNuggs]

And that day rag doll physics was discovered

[SwagTANNER]

GREAT SUCCESS

[BlackHoleSun1921]

It hurts just watching!

[KelleyMag]

His bike stayed up longer than he did!

[TheAndkonmegalodon]

Ha dumbass

[bobosharkey]

If you are interested in Evel Knievel and his skycycle jump check out Mech-Sci.com

[Ub3rn00berer]

I've never seen the full speed accident. Everyone shows the slow motions.

[Torkec44]

Travis Pastrana would do a backflip and still land it.

[conshiba1234]

@Torkec44 Travis Pastrana also uses a dirt bike wich can go much faster and is about half the wieght of evil kenevils motorcylce. Travis Pastrana wears state of the art helmets and pads all over his body, evil kenevil wore a single helmet and no pasd. Pastrana couldnt handle breaking every bone in his body, he's a whimp compared to kenevil

[Torkec44]

@conshiba1234 i was joking, i love 'em both, Travis is pushing the sport Evel Knievel kinda pioneered :>

[bmr21021975]

ragdoll

[pozestplatinum]

he loves it, he'd need a few days off after that one while they stitch his colon back onto his stomach. And pull the bars out of his head!

[JeffBecerra1]

One of my all-time Heroes!! Along with Ali and a few others from the 70s!! The 70s were so much better times than today in a lot of ways. Back then it was all about having fun, not "War On Drugs", "Eco-friendly", "MTV" crap. It was all about Evel Knievel, Black Sabbath and Ceasar's Palace!! Yeah!! LOL!!

[deanjohnwoods]

Evil was the king.

@pitchingwedge1 You spelled it wrong.

[pitchingwedge1]

@CannonChest Who cares? What are you.......the fuckin spelling Nazi?

[kanhass]

HAHA

[habde]

He's okay, folks!

[slicksnot]

Can you see a shock wave when he hits the pavement?

[BASABASA4747]

THE HELMET SAVED HIM!!!

[Fullcommitted]

I still respect him as one of the greatest cause them motorcycles he was jumping had like absolutely no suspension for making jumps like he was doing. Nowadays the motorcycles are made for the jumps.

[SuperCurtiis]

[HalQuiramTV]

The last true American hero.

[Lokiwho]

@MrSarobs Pretty sure our soldiers overseas are the american heroes.

[KungFriedChicken]

damn that would hurt... Evel was an absolute legend.. but honestly later on in the 70's they had a lot better bikes but he stuck with Harley Davidson.. 1978 Dale Buggins beat the world record on a Yamaha by jumping 25 cars.. I think maybe that kidd guy was the record holder then... but Evel was his idol.. he was only 17 when he done it and shot himself at age 20 :(

[bamatommy]

It hurts just watching it. 

[drew580]

evil knievel was a huge goon, same with robbie knievel. like get a real bike thats meant for jumping, geesh

[thokeJackass]

he was in a coma for 29 days afterwards

[tutt55]

@thokeJackass He was never in a coma after this. He used to tell people that, but never was.

[thokeJackass]

@tutt55 Where have you got that information from?

[THB79]

@tutt55 I just heard that on NPR a few minutes ago. They say he was a notorius lier and the coma stuff was just another lie too. But as a kid back then,we thought he was the stuff. He launched a million bike ramps back in the 70's. Good times.
