Evel Knievel’s passing is a hit to the American public. He truly was an American idol. Long before the X Games made stunt riding popular, Knievel was the one and only daredevil people knew. His name is as recognizable as Michael Jordan’s. The thrill of what Evel did was not necessarily whether he would clear the buses or fountains but whether he would survive to try it again. In his red, white and blue, star-studed leather jump suit, he was like Elvis on a motorcyle.
