            Had heard about this on ESPN before I came here. Sad to hear.

                R.I.P. Evel Knievel

                I'm sure I'm not the only one who had fond memories of playing with Evel and Robbie Knievel figures as a kid. He was the man.

                  He had a house close to ours in Ft.Lauderdale when I was a kid. We used to take our boat by his house to get a Evel sighting.

                  So long Evel.

                    OMG! I'm beyond words. I can't believe he's gone. I've played w/ his toys, watched him on TV, told my class about him. I'm just stunned. Quoting the article, you really don't expect Superman to die, even though you know it's coming. I'm so sad right now. RIP Evel, you'll really be missed.

                    If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

                      I know that I'm very lucky to be alive. For 35 or 40 years I've spilt my blood and broke my bones and spent years in hospitals.- Evel Knievel
                      He is the first person I completely expected to die before my eyes on live television. I can remember that awful feeling in my throat every time he cracked up. It amazed me that I only saw him successfully land two times, but watched him crash or fail many more times. It wasn't so much the jumps that were inspiring, it was his willingness to come back, sacrifice and lay it on the line for little apparent reason, especially given his track record.

                      RIP Evel, you deserve a day without pain.

                        Well, you can't ask for much more than age 69, being a grandfather and leaving behind a legacy of entertainment and wonder. Resquiat in pace, Evel.

                          He did good for a Montana Boy, born and breed. He will be missed.

                            Evel was also one of my heros when I was a kid. I mean the guy had the biggest Balls of them all. I was in shock when I heard the news. It is a sad day for me for sure.

                                That was a shock to me when I got the CNN alert.

                                RIP you were a legend and a icon
