GOD HE WAS FUN TO WATCH!

The man was just as much a part of Americana as were hotdogs back then,and often times he was called one too.Seeing as most of us are children of the 1960's-70's,I'll bet many here never expected him to come anywhere near the age of 69,after hearing the announcers shreak for an ambulance after anyone of his off balanced landings.



I for one hope he is jumping clouds today,as he was a formidable inspiration for many an American pre-teen male to procure the sidewalk plywood ramp w/cinder blocks & liken it to Caesars or the Snake River Canyon on any given Saturday afternoon back then.

Thank You Evel
