As a kid, to me this guy was the embodiment of cool. To 1979 Murphy, he was right up there with Luke Skywalker and Gene Simmons.

Damn, that sucks. I had the motorcycle toy with the Evel Knieval action figure and that tower thing that revved it up so it could ramp off of shit in my living room and garage.

So here's to you, o patriotically-garbed master of stupid stunts. You were, in your own way, a Real Man of Genius.
Evel, we barely knew ye. Helmets off, eyes down.
ReplyDeleteI also had a similar toy as a child; had kind of a plastic rip-cord thing. mine would wreck constantly, which was really more realistic if you think about it.
