I like the fact that you did thousands of jumps and nary a scratch let alone steel head plates and crushed discs. You came in and revolutionized the sport.
I like to think of you as the Ronald Reagan of Jumping. No lies or exaggerations just action and results. EK is the o-blahma of jumpers, lots of followers, slogans and lies.

: First of all – no disrespect to you
: personally
: JA, you know I like you very much! Bro I
: don’t say bad things about you & never
: will, I like you. Not to mention you have
: done some great stunt work!!
:
: I don’t think the survivors of 9/11 or the
: Holocaust would appreciate the
: trivialization.
:
: And as far as worshipping Evel, I don’t
: think so. I mean, yes, you have a point, he
: did terrible things – that’s what Gene said
: when he closed out the funeral. That he
: ‘Evel Knieveled’ many people.

:
: If you listened to what Gene said at Evel’s
: funeral – Evel tried to make it right. The
: Bible says if you won’t forgive others
: neither will God forgive you.
:
: So you content that his profession of faith
: in Jesus Christ was not genuine? And you
: know this how? We are forgiven by God not
: because we’re good but because God’s good.
: The thief who turned to Jesus, while being
: crucified for a life spent violating the
: rights of others, was told by the Savior in
: that moment, “this day shall you be with me
: in paradise.” You either believe it or you
: don’t. God’s forgiveness is not just for
: the good but also for the vile. It’s really
: all about the Blood of Jesus Christ, not
: about how bad we are, you and me and even
: Evel.
:
: If you or I were as famous as Evel many
: people would know much more about our bad
: behavior (unless you never have had any).
: After his passing you said some nice things
: about him & didn’t mention the bad –
: that was decent of you. Now that he is
: gone, can we not let the man rest in peace?

: Why do people dredge up 9/11?
:
: Why do they dredge up the dates when Charles
: Manson did crimes?
:
: Why do they dredge up John F. Kennedy's
: assassination date?
:
: Why do they dredge up the date of Pearl
: Harbor?
:
: Is Evel Knievel granted some kind of license
: to have two of his cohorts hold a guy down
: so he can break the guy's arms with a
: baseball bat, yet not be remembered for that
: criminal act of violence? The Constitution
: says we have freedom of speech, but Knievel
: denied Saltman that right.
:
: Is Evel Knievel granted some kind of license
: to beat the hell out of his wife, then go to
: a strip club, and the rest of us are
: supposed to just keep our mouths shut? His
: wife is somebody's daughter. His wife is
: somebody's sister. Am I expected to just
: brush all that aside and fall at his feet,
: worshiping the ground he walks on?
:
: Is Knievel and all of his friends and fans
: some kind of crime family where we have to
: stay quiet about his crimes?
:
: His publicity stunt at the Crystal Cathedral
: didn't fool me, and I'm sure it didn't fool
: God. Evel Knievel told lies right there,
: where he was supposedly coming clean. Real
: convincing.
:
: Did people go into a code of silence after
: Hitler died? Is Knievel so special that
: nobody can discuss anything he did in his
: life such as kidnapping, burglary, theft,
: assault, battery, and woman-beating?
:
: I dredged it up because it's noteworthy.
: Other sources dredge it up from time to
: time, do you ask them about it? His
: publicity material didn't influence the way
: I look at him. Anybody who beats women,
: burglarizes, kidnaps, steals, gangs up on
: people and beats them with a baseball bat is
: a punk as far as I'm concerned. I won't
: worship them or even like them. I won't
: associate with them. I swear, it's amazing
: how people will still worship somebody who
: is such a criminal. I wonder: if he beat up
: one of these people's little sister, would
: they still worship the ground he walks on?
:
: JA

: On this date in 1977, Evel Knievel and two
