Evel Knievel was a badass.

Been watching this History Channel bio of possibly the most interesting guy ever. The life of a ridiculously popular daredevil is indeed a crazy one. And I think he had to have been actually insane. Or just the biggest genuine badass ever. He beat the hell out of a guy with a baseball bat for writing some trash about him. Escaped from jail. No big deal. His son Robbie was pretty nuts too.

Where are our daredevils? What do we have? Criss Angel or David Blane? We're living in a depression of both daredevils and badasses.

American Icon Evel Knievel- you will never be forgotten.

He was, but he really lost it in his old age.

He was nuts, to say the least. And, they are going to build a roller coaster named "Evel Knievel"

That roller coaster doesn't do justice to the Evel Knievel name.

He's no where near the most interesting guy ever, but his insanity is quite interesting.

Yes! A jump is what they need, exactly what I was thinking.

...so badass that his last name defied any and all mundane laws of phonetics.  Anyways, I completely agree;  what America needs now more than ever is someone willing to put their life on the line to please a couple bystanders.  Definately.
