Did you shoot him in the chest?

I used to have all his stuff, great fun.

That must be the action figure after the Ceasar's Palace jump?

GI Joe shot him, if memory serves but that's been a while.

This was all I had of EK.

You know it!

I remember having a Evel motorcycle thing that had a winding thing like in this picture. It was a badass thing in 1977 or so.

this is a much safer thread than i was expecting.

I had one of those, too!

It was awesome!

Yep. We built so many crazy ass jumps!

Those wind up EK's wheelie things were awesome.

So were big wheels.

As for big wheels, a kid I knew had this, and he was the coolest kid in town….

My favourite was the jump off of the second floor balcony of the house and in to the backyard.

The damn thing survived every time.

If I remember right, I broke the wind-up/launcher thing.

Man, that brings back some memories... sending Evel down the driveway and into the street, hoping he doesn't hit by a car, but kind of hoping he does because it would be momentarily awesome. Anyhow, I'm pretty sure the action figure EG posted is the one for this bike.

But when it came to driveway drag racing, Evel was no match for an SSP.

Yeah. That was the whole set. This, apparently, is all that remains.

For a second there I thought it was Steve Austin, the $1.50 man.

most of my Evel Knievel figures were massacred by GI Joes with the Kung Fu Grip in the Great Sandbox War of 1979

Dude, I would have killed for a Green Machine.

They were the most fun, by far. Deadly....but the most fun.

I do belief that's when this poor guy lost his hand. He was luckier than most...
