Evel Knievel passed away.
For those of you that knew about him/Robert Craig (Evel) Knievel 1938- Nov 30, 2007.
For those that don`t know of him he was famous for attempting and sometimes succeeding impossible motorcycle jumps (possibly including the Grand Canyon).
I think he broke every bone in his body at least once.

On edit, It wasn`t the Grand Canyon but may have been the Snake River in Ohio?
Anyone know if he ever made it?

The guy cut the clip to short so you don't see the ending.

one of the best role models i ever had... 
we'll miss him!! its easy to say that the FMX riders of today do way crazier stuff, and in a way they do. but its done on a built bike with the best of suspension components, and a pile of gear and money. evil did it on a streetbike that was prehistoric to today's standards!!!
