Skippy Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I don't know if he was dick in real life but as a kid it was really cool to watch him on a Saturday jumping crap. I miss those days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twiley Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Who didn't have or didn't know someone who had that EK figure and bike toy growing up? I use to rev that bitch up and send him flying off the stairs. Good times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddy Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Who didn't have or didn't know someone who had that EK figure and bike toy growing up? I had it. Along with The Bionic Man and a Fonzie figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 (edited) I had it. Along with The Bionic Man and a Fonzie figure. Did you put the Fonzie figure on Evel's bike and have him jump a shark? Still amazed that he did survive all his misshaps.

bushwacked Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I don't know if he was dick in real life but as a kid it was really cool to watch him on a Saturday jumping crap. I miss those days. One of the last American Heroes...I was supposed to meet him when I was about 4 years old...He partied with my parents and other relatives one night and told them to bring their kids to his house the next morning to watch him perform some stunts. I was pumped...it was like knowing you were about to meet Superman. He never showed up...his wife claimed he broke his arm while practicing before we got there. We got some swag and I can remember my Dad mentioning how the a-hole is still probably on a drinking binge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godtomsatan Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 (edited) I can remember my Dad mentioning how the a-hole is still probably on a drinking binge. I was at a celebrity/charity golf thing a few years ago where his son was definitely in the midst of one. ETA: He was definitely a hero to every kid in the neighborhood growing up. That Simpsons episode where Bart wants to jump the Canyon on his skateboard, motivated by emulating the daredevil based on Kneival (OK, I looked up his name: Lance Murdock) is one of my all-time favorites.

Donutrun Jellies Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 May he RIP Here's hoping he clear's the top of St. Peter's gate and lands in heaven on his first jump ... Or if he splatters into the wall, here's hoping he can at least give that reassurig waive to the angels in the stands ... "I'm okay -- I'm already dead ..." :-) Thanks for the random entertainment, EK ... Now hit that ramp fast!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlanta Cracker Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Man I loved that dude growing up. Where in the heck did my action figure go???? I'm pretty sure my sister's Barbie and Ken did some amazing Kneivel stunts back in the day as well!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perchoutofwater Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 May he RIP. I remember when I was a kid, I had a EK figure on a bike, where you could pull a plastic cord with teeth, and little EK would zoom across the room, hit the ramp and break all kinds of chit in my moms china cabinet. It really pissed her off which made that much more fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuke'em ttg Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 the Wild Turkey in the cane was awesome and his interview with Jim Rome on the subject was even better Rome- Hey Evel do you really have Wild Turkey in that cane ?

TDFFFreak Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I had it. Along with The Bionic Man and a Fonzie figure. I believe that was the one where you could look through his eye and it was magnified, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puddy Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I believe that was the one where you could look through his eye and it was magnified, correct? Yep and his forearm came off to reveal the 'bionics' and he had an engine that you'd attach to his hand to lift via a lever in the back.
