Oh wow! This guy has almost all the classic Evel Knievel commercials including 3 Derry Daring ads! I swear seeing that just made me tear up! Remember the feeling you got when you saw these ads begged your parents for it! Fantastic!

Ahhh, Evel!
One of those guys you know was bad news but you always wanted to hang out with. I can honestly say I've never seen any Evel Knievel bit, be it stunt, interview, commercial, whatever that I wasn't thrilled... if only a little bit. Everything Evel did was exciting. -
Thanks for the heads up! The Skull Canyon and "adventure outfits" ads are especially cool to see. Too bad there aren't any for the annoyingly rare/expensive Road & Trail Adventure Set and Canyon Rig. I love it that the line started getting weird and tried to cash in on other concurrent toy trends that had very little to do with Evel himself.Comment

Wow...2 replies...I thought you guys would be all all over this one. Guess I was wrong."Do you believe, you believe in magic?
'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
If your mission is magic your love will shine true."Comment

That consumer rights video was interesting. I can honestly say I never expected things like Evel Kneivel to work the way you saw on TV EVERY TIME! I have always held that the Evel Stunt Cycle was one of the most satisfying toys ever made, and I can attest that that baby CAN jump like you see you see in the commercials. Those kids just have horrible aim!

Not to mention they were playing w/ the darn thing INSIDE!! Really? Ok I played w/ mine indoors too, but I had some jumping space. And I made it jump over domino sturctures and Matchbox cars w/ a homemade book ramp, and it did great!

Ian I remember being so ecstatic when those Team America toys came out! I loved the 12 issue comic series too. By that point my Knievel toy had long since been broken and discarded (sadly) so it was fun getting to relive that playtime again, albeit with the Marauder figure rather than Evel.Comment
