        I too came right over when I saw this.

        Ladies and Gentlemen tonight raise your glasses to him for all the joy and thrills he gave us on tv, in our bedrooms and back yards and for those of us lucky enough to have actually seen him jump in person

          Wow what a sad moment.
          I'm sure that even though he was known as Evel he will be jumping over those pearly gates.
          God speed.

                        Hard to believe. Maybe not a role model as a man but a true icon of the 70s and hero to a lot of young kids at the time. RIP.

                          My son and I just had my PM Evel reissue out Sunday.

                          Like so many figures, upon closer inspection, he may not have been the "hero" he was advertised as.

                          But he was one whale of an entertainer.

                          And he provided hours of fun for a whole generation of kids and adults.

                          Not a bad life, I'd say.
