Robert Craig Knievel (October 17, 1938 – November 30, 2007), better known as the Evel Knievel, was an American motorcycle daredevil-stuntman, an entertainer famous in the United States and elsewhere between the late 1960s and early 1980s. Knievel's nationally televised motorcycle jumps, represent four of the twenty most-watched ABC's Wide World of Sports events to date. On October 25, 1975, Knievel successfully jumped fourteen Greyhound buses at Kings Island, Ohio, is landing was successful and he held the record for jumping the most buses on a Harley-Davidson for 24 years. The Kings Island event scored the highest viewer ratings in the history of ABC's Wide World of Sports. His achievements and failures, including his record 433 broken bones, earned him several entries in the Guinness Book of World Records.
His son Robbie Knievel is also an accomplished motorcycle daredevil.
Evel Knievel: The Rock Opera
In 2003, Knievel signed over exclusive rights to Los Angeles composer Jef Bek, authorizing the production of a rock opera based on Knievel's life.[21][22] Directed by Bat Boy co-creator Keythe Farley, the production opened in Los Angeles in September 2007 to excellent reviews.[23][24]
Six Flags Evel Knievel roller coaster
Evel Knievel had partnered with Six Flags St. Louis to name a new wooden coaster after "America's Legendary Daredevil." The amusement park in Eureka, Missouri, outside of St. Louis, Missouri, opened the ride on June 20, 2008.
Core Values
One of Evel's qualities was that he had great pride in his core values. Throughout his career (and later life), he would repeatedly talk about the importance of "keeping his word"...
"God, take care of me. Here I come..."
Evel Knievel spoke this semi-prayer to himself before every jump, whether it was over cars, fountains or canyon, just before he sped off toward his take-off, not knowing whether he'd live or die
Conversion to Christianity
On April 1, 2007, Knievel appeared on Rev. Robert H. Schuller's Hour of Power television program and announced that he "believed in Jesus Christ" for the first time.
At his request, he was baptized before the congregation and TV cameras by Dr. Schuller, Founding Pastor of the Crystal Cathedral. Christianity Today reported that "…Knievel's testimony triggered mass baptisms at the Crystal Cathedral.
( But In his own Gladiator-Daredevil way hadn't he but always
deep down inside believed in God & Jesus In his own way)
