Vintage Evel Knievel Interview - Part 1 - August 1971

Uploaded by: WookieCookie
Video Description:
This one hurt when I heard the news. Evel Knievel was my first childhood hero. I doubt there wasn't a time when I hopped on my bike as a kid that I didn't think of him, and pretended to be like him. I remember setting up plywood ramps at the end of my street with all my friends, emulating Evel's latest feat. Our heights were measured in only inches, but our imaginations soared. I had the toys... motorcycle, scramble van, Skull Canyon set... I recall even wearing a Evel costume one year for Halloween. Treasured memories...
Here's to the bravest, toughest and downright coolest hero any kid could ever have. Rest in peace... you've earned it.
I dug into the vault for this one... a great interview from the early 70s. Just for fun I left the original commercials in. I'll leave this up for a few days.
