Was Evel Knievel Evil?

Tuesday night students might remember I talked about Evel Knievel.

Was Evel Knievel evil? Well, not really.

Rather he was probably the most famous motorcycle daredevil from the late 1960s through to the early 1980s. He made many successful jumps, but he also had plenty of crashes - at times the number of broken bones got his name into the Guiness Book of World Records.

If you have time, go to You Tube and do a search to watch some of his succesful and not-so-successful jumps.

Unfortunately, Evel died two years ago, aged 69. But considering the number of injuries he had, he was probably luck to last that long.

So, evil? No. Crazy? Probably, but sometimes when you want to achieve something you have to be crazy to pull it off.

And for anything you do, remember that it's not important that you land safely, but rather that you have the courage to take off.

Go for it!
