Evel Knievel dies after eluding death as one of the greatest stuntman in history. Robert Craig better known as Evel Knievel born October 17, 1938 unitil November 30, 2007. Without the vision and courage of Evel Knievel things like the X-games may have never come to fruition. I remember watching him on T.V. and wanting to be like him. I even convinced my  mom to get me one of his action figures with the motorcycle that did sunts and wheelies. As seen below. We will miss the Legend known as Evel Knievel he will live on thru his surviving family and in our hearts and in our memories.
