SWEDESHELBY1 Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Saw him @ Ceasars Palace when Robby jumped the fountains, I was on the Strip that early evening. I really wanted Robby to splat just like his dad and I lost $20 bucks to a total starnger in the crowd in the front row because he made it. Now after he is gone and thinking back I always loved his saying: " When I hit the ramp, the crowd is with me. When I am in the air, the crowd is with me. When I hit the other side, I am all alone". Evel Knievel my prayers are with you and your family ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mffarrell Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 So sad for the Knievel Family my best wishes. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/more...ex.html?cnn=yes I use to be a bouncer at a club in Sacramento in the early 70's. The owner of the bar was best friends with Bob Craig, aka, Evel. I partied with Evel a few times. A very nice person and a quiet guy in private. RIP...bro!

mywickedshelby Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Bye bye Evil, you entertained us for many years, thank you. I will always remember the Ceasars Place jump, live on Wide World of Sports with the whole family gathered around the TV. He was one of a kind.
