You were my hero! As a kid growing up I had two men I wanted to be like, you and Steve McQueen, now you're both gone, I hope the two of you are talking right now. I have many a scars trying to be like you, now each one means more than ever. You'll never be forgotten!!! I guess this is your highest jump ever. Good-bye.   R.J. Jones Surrey, B.C. Canada

We'll miss you Evel. Thank you for all the great memories since childhood. I enjoyed getting to meet and speak with you. You were in pain but you stayed to sign all those autographs anyhow. You will never be forgotten by me and countless others. I wish your family the best and my prayers are with them.  I am going to watch your jumps and movies and remember all those great times, yeah that includes watching VIVA KNIEVEL!  You should have gotten an oscar for that!  Your fan forever,  Vince

Thank you for providing such a great website for all of us to enjoy and to remember the good ol'days with.  I've been a fan since the late 60's, early 70's.  You have been a great inspiration to me.  When I was about 5 years old, I had a mini-bike that was made from a Briggs & Stratton lawnmower engine and a bicycle frame.  I jumped it once..  It didn't make it, and I bailed as soon as I could so I wouldn't get hurt.  I attempted to jump a big hole filled with water, about 6 feet long, and 3ft deep. And of course I didn't know how to swim.. Boy what a daredevil I was.  After that, I decided things like that should be left to Evel Knievel, and not a little kid.  I had true respect for you at that point, because that jump scared the crap out of me.   But later on, when I got older, and had a motorcycle, I tried it again, and made it this time.  It was an awesome feeling, but I only did it that one time.  Ahh the memories..   I'm riding to this day, as a result of the inspiration that you gave a 5 year old daredevil.

Thank you Evel..

And best wishes for the holiday season...

I was a young girl watching you do what you did best.  My dad and I would watch every show that came on tv with you in it.  I used to jump my bicycle over trash cans, and did dirt bike racing for a couple of years.  I still have my evel knievel toy bike and rider I got as a kid for christmas one year.  I wore that thing out jumping it over stuff.  I just recently bought myself a street bike after 42 years, my husband thinks I'm crazy but its been a lifelong dream of mine to ride the open roads.  Thanks for being an inspiration to so many lives all over the world.....Keep the shiny side up....God Bless
