I grew up in the 1970s. That was Knievel’s heyday and he seemed to be everywhere during that decade. It’s so sad that a legend like that has passed even though I’m sure most kids born after 1990 don’t even realize just how awesome he was. I can remember kids having posters of him on their walls, and my friends and I doing tricks on our bikes like Knievel (although I’d say jumping a bike over a small ditch filled with water is nothing compared to jumping Snake River Canyon on a rocket-powered motorcycle).
