Sad. I remember his stunts growing up as a kid. He was crazy. I never knew he had a liver transplant and nearly died of hepatitis C after a knarly spill in the 70's. Talk about a rough life. Sad. He will be missed. He was a huge American icon, here in the states.

If it wasnt for this guy, I wouldnt have crashed my Raleigh Vektar in the 80's. Best days of my life. RIP.

Evil's passing abit sad.

I was pretty adult in his heydays and we enjoyed his ventures. But we did consider him somewhat whacko because he would do stunts nobody else would do.

I always wondered what motivated a person to do the stuff he was driven to do. I will never know or understand.

RIP Mr. Knievel ...
