Even so as he was stretchered off past us all he gave a thumbs up.....legend. A real childhood hero of mine....though I still dunno why? Think it was just his fuck it attitude.

“I’ve always felt pity for him. Because of this foolish act, he ruined his career.” ~Saltman, age 76 during a interview. Well Saltman what did you expect? You published a book calling him a drunk, addicted to pills, who abused his family, hated Jews, and was in general an immoral degenerate... amazed you only got away with a busted up arm to be honest. And starting in 2007 he has been attempting to sue Knievel’s family and estate for over 100 million dollars because he was never payed the 12.75 million awarded to him by the trial because Knievel went bankrupt after this whole ordeal... and after years of Knievel himself trying to offer to pay Saltman a smaller settlement and apologize for the incident. None of which Saltman ever accepted. Rot in hell Saltman, 2019 may have been a year full of cringe, but at least it was also the year you finally died.

Am I the only one who got a little teary eyed seeing his son do what his father couldn't?

[@joshflanary5412]

If that got you teary eyed, lets hope he does one on Dale Earnhardt, and what he did for his son. T-T

Count Dankula, just in case you read the comments I have to throw in a vote for Hunter S. Thompson. I am sure he has been suggested before. This series is simlply not complete without the original Gonzo journalist himself R.I.P

When you run out of mad ones, you can always do an "Absolute Sad Lads" series. That'd be proper depressing. Then again - I suppose the world is likely to continue delivering a pretty steady supply of the former ...

[@herbertorendorff6323]

When Evel officially retired his son Bobby did officially get permission to jump the Grand Canyon and now his son Bobby had officially taken over for his father even after Evel died.

Fun fact the Harley-Davidson XR 750 isn't street legal. However it is one of the most, if not the most successful dirt track bikes in history. I rode them professionally in TT and national mile oval races, in my younger and dumber days. Motor was so tight you had to rebuild it from the crank up every four races.

[@emanuellandeholm5657]

Plot twist: Knievel was a morphine addict all along. He just did these stunts to get a legal high.
