All the best Jumpsuiters are dead

RIP Evel

That shot of him bouncing down the ramp after screwing up the jump over the fountains at Cesar's Palace is a permanent part of my growing up in the mid 70's psyche, even though it happened earlier (1968) I think. But they showed it before every stunt he did . . .

When you grew up when I did, boys played "SWAT" and Evel Knievel. But hell, I may only get to 69 and the only thing I've ever jumped were hoops . . . .
