RIP

Di yung son nya, nagawa rin ng daredevil stunts?

[isketi]

:rip:

OT: I forgot the name of a relatively famous American stuntman who after years of doing his own daredevil stunts, died in a motorcycle accident not related to his stunt acts.

I always watched him at those ABC wide world of sport specials. He was amazing during the 70s.

These new jumpers, Pastrana, Deegan etc, should thank the pioneer.

walang sinabi ang mga stunts ng X-games sa sheer bravado ni Evel Knievel.

though they may get higher air, faster bikes and better preparations, evel knievel practically rode on a bike that was a little more powerful than a scooter and jumped off ramps of such simple construct they were just virtually plywood placed on an incline.

for sure, this man got balls.

idol ko siya way back the bmx times in the 80's when it comes to rampa.

RIP to evel knievel

By his own accounts, Knievel lived to the full, blowing a £20m fortune, bedding 2,000 women - including eight in one day - and soaking his chest with whisky and setting it on fire for a joke in a bar.

He was friends with Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra and Lee Marvin, who said he was “the cool tough guy we all love playing on the screen, the genuine article”.

i believe he holds the record for most fractured bones in his entire life according to guiness.
I've seen a show on tv where knievel rides a custom chopper.
