    where's evil knievel or one of those shitheads from jackass? true daredevils!


    I was thinking about Evil Knievel too. He didn't tie down. Sure he planned shit out but when push came to shove it was just pure balls.


    damded straight, he just strapped his ass to a rocket and had a parachute for the landing.

    I loved evil kenevil when I was growing up. I don't know how many bicycle and skateboard stunts he inspired us to do, but we were awesome! epic injuries

    next day after seeing one of his stunts i'd be building ramps and jumping my Schwinn (banana seat and all) until it or i broke :lol: i miss the 70's

    I rocked something like this as a kid until I got my first Huffy. My dad put training wheels and the big long flag on the seat and everything. :lol:

    This would be a lot cooler if he didn't have that safety harness.

    I know!! if he doesn't fall, the harness is not needed.. so it is lame that he has it..

    Sucks that he has that harness. It's more exciting if there's a chance of death

    You should all check out Man On Wire if you haven't already seen it. I'm not much into daredevil stunts but this one was amazing in so many ways. This thread just reminded me I've been meaning to watch it again :D
