The worlds greatest hoon

So sad, he was awesome

Man, that just sucks. R.I.P.

BTW, St. Peter had to be just about as surprised as it'* possible to be. I can just see it:

St. Peter: Your name, please?
Evil Knievel: I'm Evil Knievel, man.
St. Peter (intense shock): Wait, shouldn't you be arriving backwards and on fire? Or in several distressingly small baggies? Or at high velocity?

I would have thought this.

St. Peter: Your name, please?
Evil Knievel: I'm Evil Knievel, man.
St. Peter: your late, I was expecting you back in the 70'*




rest in peace EK

may he have made that last looong jump all the way to heaven.

Its one hell of a jump.
