RE: Brand - Episode 6 - Eddie Kidd Rides Again

[@db192]

Who’s here after top gear trying to find out more about this legend!

[@alexojideagu]

Yes, his brain damage obviously progressed.

[@luvhart]

Me👍🏻😉 Also watching this video to see what Russell Brand is like when stoned

[@bernadetteharakati5267]

I see Eddie Kidd at a car show ..1994 or 1995.. he was class .. he had his accident in 1996.. sad.. he has such a great sense of humour still .. he has a go fund me to try and raise a voice machine so he can communicate again.. please help him out if you can...lets get Eddie speaking again

[@queenbee2371]

Me.

[@flotinaway7]

Sad to see him so young with that condition, but loved the laughter at the end with Russell

[@jaywatts333]

eddie in 1977 on a 1974 kx 250 i recieved a head/brain injury also. lying in a coma and parilized and loss of all motor skills i did make a full recovery after 3-4 yrs. i hope the best for you. evel kenivel was a hero of mine too. i went on to do stunts until my youngest boy was killed by a drunk driver, i lost it never to stunts again. god bless you eddie and get better. you can do it . i did... lol

[@emmalovelock6757]

So sorry for the tragic loss of your son 💔🤍🕊️💙

[@johngilmore697]

Not 1977

[@adamweston4152]

He's still the greatest to me,god bless you Eddie!

[@andydavies381]

I agree. The man's a true legend -

[@mikesylvester1021]

Yep sure is!

[@jwcgaming2215]

I'd give my left arm to meet Eddie I remember seeing him as a young child at Peterborough embankment. After seeing him I became hooked on bikes I used to save my money up and buy dirt bike rider magazine every month, I later became a bike mechanic ;-) Thanks Eddie you gave me my love for bikes.

[@dennmcambley3813]

i love Eddie Kidd, fucking British legend son, God bless you. :)

[@anonfrank546]

Russell had such a baby face back then and like then he still has a huge heart , a very compassionate man is brand . gotta love russell , and Eddie's courage before and after the accident .

[@noezrider6361]

The best 24 minutes I've ever viewed on YT!!! Greetings from the US. Just got to digging around researching the greatest "jumpers" the other day and didn't really know much about Eddie other than his name and he was a bad ass, but to see this clip, he still is a bad ass and such an inspiration.

[@garryprosser281]

Eddie kidd' a hero & legend!.. God bless you m8!. 👍👏👏

[@berg7417]

Eddie didn't jump bikes, he flew bikes. Physics allows you control, dynamics of motion, rear wheel spinning, rotation of the bike, he was a master of it. A proper legend. Balls of granite. When we knew what being a 'legend' really meant...

[@beverleypearson2646]

I had the privilege of meeting Eddie when I was in my teens. I’ll remember that day as long as I live. It’s a bloody tragedy that this gorgeous man, ended up in a wheelchair 😢 after that horrific accident. God Bless Eddie…… you’ll always have a special place in my heart ❤️

[@andyc609]

What a lad! do remember Eddie the Kidd being an icon when I was a youngster. I always enjoyed making ramps and jumping my bike over them in those days.

[@scarbourgeoisie]

I'm in Canada and I'd never heard of Eddie before until I watched an episode of Top Gear last night where his story was featured along with a personal visit with Eddie. Sadly he's lost his ability to talk over the last 20 years. I idolized Evel K as young boy, I can only imagine Eddie's fans the U.K. feeling the same way as I did. Eddie had it all, the stones, talent & looks.

[@tripledaveridesagain]

He was big here the UK are own He was our own evil and on the 501 adverts

[@Geffo555]

We all envied him back in the day. Good looking, birds a plenty, and bikes. And man he could fly.

[@STEPASAUR]

Still a hero, not in the stunt sense - he's done that - but more in the way he smiles at the future when he says "that's how it is" or "life goes on mate" maybe more inspirational than the jumps even, hope he has the care and support he deserves

[@MrMiD.Life.Crisis]

He was a big hero for me. I never knew what became of him, and he may even be a bigger inspiration now than he was before. For me thats the problem for stars like Eddie and Evel, once they're no longer active and not in the spotlight they fall off joe publics radar - almost used up and discarded. Shame one of his ex-wives (i cant think of her name) assaulted him instead of caring for him. I realise that what goes on behind closed doors noone knows but still, theres nothing you can tell me to justify strangling, kicking and punching a guy affected by brain damage and in a wheelchair. Rest easy Evel, stay strong Eddie and ride on Kaptain!! Hope youre good.

[@adechapman.1132]

I was there that day and the amount of people down and crying was a difficult day. All the best Ed.

[@GB-vn1tf]

I saw Eddie at a show at Banchory games, just a little jump but the guy had charisma dripping from him, a larger than life dude, you could see the girls dripping just being close to him. It breaks my heart that this happened to him.

[@nihilistforever9769]

Love Eddie's positive outlook. Great lad!! 💚💎👍🙏

[@M.M.M.81]

Legend he has the spirit of a true warrior, a great man

[@scruffyp9480]

Great to see how confident he was. Even though his speech is slurred he still connects and gives it 100%.

[@k20aa]

What a superb guy and a great tribute from top gear . Such a shame this happened to such a really nice guy All the best Eddie you where the best 👍👍👍👍👍

[@johngalasso8500]

God Bless you Eddie . You are a great person. And keep up with your life.

[@amyntut]

I cried like a little girl seeing his face light up getting on the quad .

[@josephcarney7655]

Very nice documentary. I have seen Eddie Kidd few times . Yes what a tragedy to see him in a wheelchair. I too had a bad accident lost my right foot and part of my leg. Was in a wheelchair for a few hours , hated it . Strove daily to get outta hospital bed and get on the crutches and move. Prosthetic now has given me freedom but shall never replace what God gave me. Good on Russel brand to do this , always thought he was a twat , but he should do more things like this..

[@greatestytcommentator]

Brand did jobs most people would run crying from.. Respect for his humanity and persistence on this... Kidd would have Chewed most of the Vapid Fools of the era up and spat them out the window..

[@tommatin2021]

Heartbreaking to see this legend like this.... 💙

[@alexojideagu]

Did you see him on Top Gear on sunday? He can't talk now. But he communicates with his carer.

[@tommatin2021]

@@alexojideagu yeah bless him, such a good looking bloke back in the day i bet he's got some numbers under his belt.

[@alexojideagu]

@@tommatin2021 Sadly one of them came back to haunt him in 2004 when he married her. She ended up abusing him, choking, slapping, kicking etc went to prison for 6 months. Weight wise he actually looks healthier now, especially in the face.

[@casanovafrankenstein33andz78]

He is an absolute diamond! Bye heck, he is so good looking too, not many men would intimidate me, I mean by sheer impact of their God given blessings, but I think Eddie would make me stutter a little and if I had a girlfriend - I think that I would make sure that she was well out of his way!
