Was he not one of our heroes back in the day?
Just the right mix of audacity, drama and batshyte craziness!

He was one of my Heroes growing up.
DJ
Bob Ewell fell on his Knife.
Definitely on of my heroes too.
I like the end where he puts down the kick stand.
On a personal note: a friend of my folks knew Knievel as a kid growing up in the same small Montana town. The stories he told of Knievel were pretty funny. He was the same growing up-goofy, crazy and wild as you see on TV. He is Knievel, it was not much of an act.
