Did he ever successfully complete a jump? The only jumps I remember are ones where he either parachutes into the river or his bike crashes into the ground and they carry Evel off on a stretcher.

They use to say he broke every bone in his body at one time or another. Don't know if it's true.

I've heard the samething about him breaking every bone in his body. He really knew how to crash. His boy jumps now.

God speed Evel.

He was a real showman in his time. I was looking at a boat that was supposed to be his at one time, that was up for sale. I wonder if the price has jumped with him?

Thanks for the memories Evel Kinevel. rip
