“Evel Knievel The True Story Documentary” 

Jealous

I guess he was friends with the owner or something and stayed there a few months a year. Out front was a big blue car, a Stuts I think, with big horns mounted on the front. The license plate read "Big Sky". Man that guy was really something. He didn't look at you, he looked through you. He had the most riveting presence of anyone I'd ever met.

Cool move, not approaching the natives without some liquor or beads...😂

Nice

What a great memory 👍🏻

70's best decade for sure

My friend had one of the Snake River rockets that you pumped and let loose

Amen !!

I remember the Saturday morning cartoon and action figure.

Better than any Rockstar

Exactly...🎉

That’s because you never had the misfortune of meeting him. Complete jackass in human form.

Man. I was probably a little bit older but yeah, Evel was a legend in his own time.❤️💯😎

He didn't jump the canyon. He did jump into the canyon.

Yes, trying to tune the bunny ears on the Ole bubble back t.v, just to watch em' my oh my, how I remember 😮

It was truly a great time to be a kid in America.

Thank God your still alive to text your thoughts here

​@@flddoc2it was the same here in Australia too

@@JulieIelasi-lt7yp What he means is what every kid imagined when we rode our bikes as fast as we could off a flimsy piece of wood propped up by bricks or whatever we could find launching ourselves to the dizzying heights of about 12 inches, if we were lucky, resulting in the occasional broken arm, knocked out front tooth or straddle injuries more embarrassing and funny than anything but mostly skinned and bloody elbows, knees, and foreheads haha. Nothing truly to be compared to what EK did. The summer Olympics did much worse on monkey bars set into black top playgrounds at every elementary school in the 70s haha. Some of the daredevil feats done on parallel and uneven parallel bars that were immediately banned were emulated by a lot of kids over the following weeks. The funny thing is I never heard a teacher tell a kid to stop. Instead it would be something like: “DANIEL!!! Don’t do that! Keven hit his head yesterday trying it. You have to arch more and look at where you want your body to follow.”

flddoc2 He was not jumping street bikes. He was jumping modified flat track race bikes, Triumph and Harley.

@@davidkeeton6716 You’re right. I didn’t intend to undersell the XR-750. A better description would’ve been to say “essentially” a street bike compared to what’s available nowadays.

Yes I heard that. And she wasn't t wearing any panties😍

Really bitting lions balls off don't think so

Don't get me wrong...he is one of my all time favorites....But a lot of the things he said...he was so full of crap. He did a lot of drugs and was a huge hypocrite especially when he would give his speto everyone about never do drugs 💉 etc. Hilarious and Sweet!

@@Johnny2Bags47you will not take the drugs after you break your pelvis? I doubt it

@@Johnny2Bags47 your statement is true but how many kids stayed away from drugs because of his words... with all his surgeries and injuries he probably had a lot of pain to deal with

Not from street drugs. That was the same case with Elvis. He stood there with President Nixon and told kids to stay away from drugs

He's your dad

@@user-jr7sf7zj2mso so wrong but we all thought it.

COOL, SAME HERE, COULD WHEELIE AROUND THE ENTIRE BLOCK ON MY HOME MADE "SKID KID", IN STRAYA THATS WHAT WE CALLED BIKES WITH, oops, caps lock.. a big front wheel and small back wheel :), fun times, go to the rubbish tip for parts

@@vicbittertoo yeah exactly that. Grab bits off bikes too fucked to be used.

@@andymcneil7085 Total recycling, and us boomers get accused of not caring for the planet ??, we washed and returned our milk, beer and coke bottles, etc, etc , i would get parts from the tip, sand and paint them, new bearings, etc, , built very cool custom bikes and sold them to school mates, always had a couple of orders on the go :), cheers

Yeah I bet you did too.

yes EDDIE KIDD of UK beat Knievel in dual comp for world title and if Eddie had not been disabled by freak crash he would've incinerated Knievel's records one by one plus snake river wasn't a motorcycle was a ballistic missile with wheels lol good on him trying at least his son got to grand canyon after dad wasn't allowed plus Robbie done it on real motorbike max kudos too all stuntmen

I don’t think so !

@@cabzombie3484 Hey, Makes no difference to me one way or another, as they say opinions vary, you've got yours, and I've got mine, that's my own personal feeling about it, so whatever dude!!!!

we most have listen to the same shows

And he knew he wasn’t going to make it and did it anyway 👍

@@alanmeyers3957 that’s the craziest part that thing had hi probability to blow up before it even left the ramp

Not that funny bro clown 🤡

Lol thats nothing in comparsion to all the Internet challenges from today.

As Theodor Roosevelt, (the good Roosevelt), once said: "It is not the critic that counts, but the man who is actually in the arena" (paraphrasing). The people who make such claims, are the people who are scared to actually "live", and have not lived a day in their life. I think they are jealous cowards, who despise anybody who does not need a baby sitter as they demand and require for themselves. There are more today than then I estimate.

wasn't a scam as such but Evel knew he was going to fail before he jumped but did jump for fans like a true hero would no scam if was scam he wouldnt have risked life if parachute hadn't went early he would've made jump god knows what would've happened if he landed at rockets speed and weight could've killed him easier with impact alone

​@@EarthSurferUSAespecially more of them today in this joke society. Pathetic little babies everywhere. No backbone whatsoever.

Did you ever figure it out? This is going to drive me crazy.

​@@eclectickatie1401 Damn it! I had totally forgotten about this (of course) but unfortunately no. I'm sorry.

@@eclectickatie1401 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-76MtTitua9w.htmlsi=Uj-QBU_vl9mwGEPK This is it basically I guess. Just 30 seconds. We had already heard the whole thing. My theory is the guy who wrote it couldn't come with anymore good lyrics but couldn't not record what he had so this is what it was. Still pretty damn clever.

Just remember, "hearsay" is distorted and amplified. The more people it travels through, the most distortion and amplification.

Turns out, what I said is true again.

Fonzi jumping the shark, the end of the show: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Cs9M1m-dpgM.html

The phrase Jumping the Shark came after the Happy Days show. Nothing to do with EK.

@@johndef5075 They also went on to film like another 100 episode's of Happy Days after the shark jump.

@@lilorbielilorbie2496 But the show lost its popularity. The phrase "Jumped the shark" came from that Happy Days episode with Fonz jumping the shark on water skies. It signaled the end... they over did it... too much... made the show goofy.

Correct the spelling,”EVEL” is our man !

I'm not sure if there's a station out there that would, air something like this, but then again some stations promote cutting your Wang off😅

Please don't be silly Andrew

Hypergamos by nature.. They ALL are...

all hail the power of the internet. bow down.
