I wasn't a huge fan but you gotta give this guy some credit to be jumping those Harleys that were modified street bikes with crappy suspension.

The guys now at least have bikes that are designed to take big jumps and hard landings.

Just amazed at how many mishaps and boken bones and he kept on jumping.

RIP

One of the most memorable and favorite toys I can remember from childhood was my wind-up Evel K motorcycle. Crank it up with the side crank as fast as you could spin it and it would take off popping a wheelie.....

There is a pretty good interview with him in Maxim last month where he states "This is probably going to be my last interview"
