Yeah, I'm 58. Evel was my hero. Me and every boy around was building ramps out of whatever we could find. I had books and posters, anything to do with Evel Knievel and other jumpers like Gary Wells. No matter what any of the other ones did back then, Evel was the greatest. Rest in Peace Evel Knievel 🇺🇸 Last of the Gladiators Mike Pardue
I'm like alot of people on here I'm also 58..Evel Knievel..was my childhood hero..he was larger than life..we would sit glued to the tv waiting for ABC sports to come on..we had 4 channels back then..we used to jump are bicycles off of homemade ramps..I've been skinned up many of days jumping different things..I broke my handlebars in two jumping over a picnic table..I just loved everything about him..he was cool...
Still got that ol lunch box somewhere. Gotta find it. We all need to forgive anyone who has ever offended us,...and ask for forgiveness to those we have offended.
@Ceci Sullivan Yes, that is so true. Materialism isn't that satisfying in the end. I haven't heard of that move Chasing Evel. Thanks for letting me know so I can watch it! I heard Robbie died last week. 1/13/23
I was lucky enough to see him jump a bunch of buses in Stafford springs CT in 74 with all the neighborhood kids that my dad could fit in the van ....great time
THAT is a true entertainer.......someone that will go out & almost kill themselves & inflict horrific pain all for the sake of ....... well, Money, Fame & entertaining people. He was a huge part of my childhood. There was KISS & Evel Kneivel. Those 2 things broght great happiness to me thruout the 70s
And there you have it for all those who say Jesus is just for the weak and fearful and ignorant. What say you now? Evel was none of those and neither was this man. REAL men love Jesus. The weak and fearful are them who don't .
I still have doubts. Ive been hoping for 56 years Id see some signs that would make me a believer . But I look at things froma logical almost scientific angle. Reaction to action. causes & reasons.
Evel ,teach me ,if you belong to the flesh, you belong to nature and like a lion ,you take ,hurt and distroy.But if you belong to the spirit you forgive and help.Jesus really is the way and worldly people hate the name.Thanks Evel
he found out HE ISN'T!!! Gene Sullivan, boxing champ, stunt man, could have been an NFL star himself, but ran off with Evel Knievel instead. He knew Prescott Sullivan a famous Sports Writer in his day, as seen in the movie THE ODD COUPLE with Walter Matthaue, was not his father. His WW2 Command Pilot mother in the Aviation Hall of Fame, kept the secret. UNTIL ANCESTRY exposed it. Gene's real father? The FAMOUS Ernie Nevers... has a movie about him George Clooney did called LEATHERHEADS. He invented the HOOK SHOT in basketball, Played Professional basketball and baseball, even Pitched to Babe Ruth. Was in the movies too, BUT, was one of the FIRST ever to be inducted into the NFL HALL OF FAME, and holds 3 records that have never been broken. Pop Warner called him the BEST COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYER EVER in the first half Century of the 1900's. So did Sports Illustrated. He is in 4 FOOTBALL HALL OF FAMES. His son Gene is in 4 museums, buried Evel Knievel, and the longest touring Motorcycle Jumper in History. Ernie was offered about 320k in today's economy to train to box for one month. Gene? He was ready to sign a contract with the famed ROCKY MARCIANO to turn him into the heavy weight champion of the world, before he died in a plane crash. Gene was heavyweight champ in the Navy and for the State of Ca. Joe Frasier even asked Gene who did Evel Knievel's funeral (you can find that on CZcams) why he never showed up in the ring. So Ernie and Prescott were good friends. Even found a news paper article where they are arm wrestling. They were both good friends, and golfing buddies with John Wayne, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Joe Diammgio, Ward Bond, among other famous people who hung out together. Been great fun getting to know about Ernie due to Ancestry. He died in 1974 but everyday, more things come up in the news, on ebay, he is still a sports hero talked about and written about if not every day, at least every week. There is much more to tell.... IT ALL MADE SENSE, when we found ERNIE NEVERS. Gene looks TOTALLY like his son, and had all the same ATHLETIC skilll, that his bookworm Sportswriter father had none. Even how we found out with Gene famous sports documentary Emmy award winning son, is very fun. He came over one day and said, DAD will you spit in a tube for me? Knowing it would be highly unlikely he would. Soooo much more to tell but will end here. THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT MOVIE OR DOCUMENTARY FOR SURE!
I don't understand how Evel had and died from diabetes , he was always so healthy and not overweight at all, never EVER had a gut on him like Elvis had, never. so it just doesn't make any sense.

@OldpathMessenger This is great, my husband did the graveside funeral, and spoke at the funeral. Had a great time with Joe Frazier! My husband, Gene Sullivan was headed to the big title in boxing. He even saw Joe Frazier at Evel Knievel's funeral (he did, will leave link in comment), because Joe expected to fight him also. A relative talked to George Foreman on a plane, and asked, what happened to Gene, I expected him to be my contender? Gene Sullivan. He was ready to sign a training contract with Rocky Marciano but he died right before he did in a plane crash. Then Gene ran off with Evel Knievel, but HE GOT SAVED at a Fellowship of Christian Athletes luncheon. LIKE REALLY, HE WALKED AWAY FROM A 10 MILLION DOLLAR stunt contract, that HE DID SIGN. ONE OF HIS BIGGEST REGRETS, was watching George train in FL. about a month before you got saved. He felt like the Lord wanted him to reach out to you and give you his testimony, but HE WIMPED OUT. (no one has ever known him as a wimp either! ) We watched George's movie tonight and really enjoyed it. Gene actually ended up finding out WHO his REAL father is the last couple of months. Here is a little bit about that and how in the 1920's he was offered to train as a boxer for a month for 350 thousand dollars back then. It's a fun story. Gene along with boxing, was a stunt man, could have been an NFL star himself, but ran off with Evel Knievel instead.

I’m 70. I still have my EK toys. I vividly remember EK’s testimony and baptism on the Hour Of Power. I was very moved. Evel died not long after that.
Evel was a real living breathing super hero in the 70's !! ✌🏻😎✌🏻. RIP EVEL KNIEVEL !!! Americas Greatest Motorcycle Daredevil !!!

Awesome testomony!!
I worked on The Bionic Woman when Evel was a guest...he was No actor! :) it usually took 7 days to film an episode...his took 10!
Still got that ol lunch box somewhere. Gotta find it.
We all need to forgive anyone who has ever offended us,...and ask for forgiveness to those we have offended.
Evel was my hero when I was still on a bicycle and his first movie came out. He still is.
I was thrilled when I heard he became a Christian.
@Ceci Sullivan Yes, that is so true. Materialism isn't that satisfying in the end.
I haven't heard of that move Chasing Evel. Thanks for letting me know so I can watch it! I heard Robbie died last week. 1/13/23
Well said Sir
God bless so glad I clicked
brother in CHRIST...
It REALLY makes me happy to know Evel found his peace in Jesus Christ. I can say with conviction that I know Evel IS RESTING IN PEACE WITH JESUS. 🙏❤😁
He was a true inspiration in my generation. I dont mean for jumping motorcycles. I mean for haveing big balls! He also was a sworn Christian.
I surrender my life to JESUS When I was 16 years old am 42 now and am still in love to JESUS!!! I ride motorcycles because Evil Knievel!!
