Title: Evel Knievel
Post by: Archem on December 01, 2007, 07:05:37 PM

I happened to look through today's newspaper (an oddity, for sure) and I happened to see an article about this legend, and it reported that he had died. Unexpectedly, it was of natural causes (I don't know who saw that twist a-comin', but that's how it's been reported), and I'm sure it's got a specific reaction from most people. Here's to the legend, and here's where you can express your grief/joy/opinion of some sort.




My song of the day: Pink Floyd - Shine on You Crazy Diamond (1-9)

I heard about this a few days ago. Evel is cool, but I'm kinda mad about him suing Kanye West for parodying his jumps.  :dry:

A few days ago? He died yesterday! Do you live in some kind of future dimension?

Wow.... natural causes? That's amusing.
I saw an article in my paper, too.... I thought for sure his bike exploded or something.

 Dude who grabbed his bike and jumped above things with it.

 I think Ghost Rider was based on him.

It's pretty cool that he died of natural causes really. It's like victory for him. He never made a fatal mistake.

It actually sucks he died of natural causes. If I were him and I knew I were going to die in a few days, I would have tried a nearly impossible stunt. If I didn't make it, I would go out with a bang, doing something I love, and if I did make it, HOLY ****, just accomplished something big.
