Axis of Evel

I can't believe it. I won't believe it. It cannot be true.

[The Associated Press: Iconic Daredevil Evel Knievel Dies at 69]

I remember betting a friend of my father's that he would survive the jump... I remember winning the buck bet even though I'm pretty sure the guy knew the outcome already because it had been pre-recorded. I remember winding up my Super Stunt Cycle. I still have a scar on my finger from reving that thing all the damn day long and nicking my knuckle on the pavement, again and again and again, jump after jump, day after day.

Evel Knievel is dead.

Long live Evel Knievel.
