Viva Knievel 1938-2007


Robby "Evel" Knievel was the stud of the seventies. 3rd grade in the seventies meant having heroes the likes of Namath, O.J., Ali, and Reggie. But none even came close to Evel Knievel. When you rode your bmx down the street jumping curbs, you were Evel jumping buses. He was apolitical and never lost a game. His failures were more memorable than his successes. He sold more action figures than Steve Austin.

DCS salutes the life of Evel Kneivel. Coal miner, cowboy, pro hockey player, stuntman, motocross champion and hero. Best of all, he wore a cape!
