There was a history channel episode/documentary on him not too long ago. The man lived a checkered life. But he was indeed innovative with his wild stunts and definitely an inspiration to many.
He'll be remembered as one of the great daredevils.

As children we would jump our bicycles over things to be like him. He was probably in large part responsible for the birth of extreme sports.

Evel was my first employer in the entertainment industry. He signed my first paycheck ($145, LOL) I'll never forget him. RIP Mr. Knievel.
