DJShrimpy Posted December 1, 2007 Evel Knievel passed away earlier today at the age of 69 from hepititus C. Let us all jump through a hoop of flames in his honor. :( 0 Share this post Link to post
Searcher Posted December 1, 2007 Gosh that's to bad. I remember him doing insane stuff for many many years. R.I.P. Evel, All we'll have now are the memories. 0 Share this post Link to post
Captain Red Posted December 1, 2007 I'm in a state of shock! I thought he died years ago 0 Share this post Link to post
Erp Posted December 1, 2007 It wasn't even from an injury he caused. It was some kind of untreatable fibrosis in his lungs, sounds like a hard way to go. He made it to 69 years though. 0 Share this post Link to post

VileSlay Posted December 1, 2007 heh, last I saw him he was doin adverts for those old people scooters. I'd would have liked to have seen him jump a ring of fire and a row of cars on one of those. LOL. R.I.P. 0 Share this post Link to post
Naked Snake Posted December 1, 2007 It sucks he didn't die the way he wanted to : in a painful motorcycle accident. 0 Share this post Link to post
deathbringer Posted December 1, 2007 I too kind of assumed he had died in the late 70's doing something insane. Kind of lame he didnt get to be killed doing what he loved, unlike that aussie bloke 0 Share this post Link to post
Texas Libra Posted December 2, 2007 To those of you who thought he died long ago...don't you remember that little publicity stunt he did about 8 years ago when Fox wanted to broadcast him jumping his motorcycle across the Grand Canyon which he later chickened out on? 0 Share this post Link to post
Kid Airbag Posted December 2, 2007 While we're on the subject of recently deceased badasses, I'll offer my condolences for the tragic shooting of Sean Taylor in this thread as well. 0 Share this post Link to post
Inferno Posted December 2, 2007 Wow the guy finally died. Hepatitus out of all things that blows. 0 Share this post Link to post
GGG Posted December 3, 2007 I heard that as part of the funeral, his coffin was to be hitched to an ATV that would make a jump over his burial pit. 0 Share this post Link to post
