Dude! I've seen tons of Knievel video tributes and such here on Youtube but nothing like this. Hats off to you for putting together the most complete and entertaining Evel Knievel video tribute ever! As a 70s kid fascinated by Evel, I'm sitting here reliving all these jumps and memories. Bravo!!!!

@UncleBuck1 Thanks! I was just as mesmerized as a 70s kid too..totally! I idolized Evel the way other kids idolized Walter Payton or Roger Staubach (didn't even pay attention to those cats then!).

Thanks for this great video. Should he have stopped after the kings island jump? I think so. A fitting tribute to a childhood hero, A child of 1970 my Raleigh Grifter and I took some pain in our efforts to emulate him. RIP Evel

@reflexuk1 I totally tried to emulate him too! With my Huffy! lol :-) But I was never brave enough to set a ramp higher than half a foot. :(

The Colliseum jump perfect! The Cow Palace; just a bit crossed up = a terrible wreck that could have been worse if he would have hit that concrete column. Wembley unbelievable, wind must have made him come up short.
