Evel Knieval Jumps Motorcycle All The Way To Heaven

According to his website (and now, these wire service reports), Robert Craig “Evel” Knieval, the motorcycle-jumping daredevil of the1960 and 70s whose flamboyant, patriotically decorated jumpsuits were nearly as thrilling as his breathtaking leaps across the Caesar’s Palace fountains or the Snake River Canyon, has passed at the age of 69. For those of you who may be unfamiliar with his legendary body of work, our customary posthumous search for tribute material instantly yielded this musical montage celebrating the icon’s stunts, allowing us to remember him in the gravity-defying fashion in which he lived.
