| Evel Knievel at Caesar's Palace - 60 sec
While in Las Vegas, Nevada, to watch Dick Tiger fight a middleweight title fight, Knievel first saw the fountains at Caesar's Palace and decided to jump them. To get an audience with the casino's CEO Jay Sarno, Knievel created a fictitious corporation called Evel Knievel Enterprises and three fictitious lawyers to make phone calls to Sarno. Knievel also placed phone calls to Sarno claiming to be from ABC-TV and Sports Illustrated inquiring about the jump. Sarno finally agreed to meet Knievel and the deal was set for Knievel to jump the fountains on December 31, 1967. After the deal was set, Knievel tried to get ABC to air the event live on Wide World of Sports. ABC declined, but said that if Knievel had the jump filmed and it was as spectacular as he said it would be, they would consider using it later.
Knievel used his own money to have actor/director John Derek produce a film of the Caesar's jump. To keep costs low, Derek used his then-wife, Linda Evans, as one of the camera operators. It was Evans who filmed Knievel's famous landing. On the morning of the jump, Knievel stopped in the casino and placed a single $100 dollar bet on the blackjack table, which he lost, stopped by the bar and got a shot of Wild Turkey and then headed outside where he was joined by several members of the Caesar's staff, as well as two scantily clad showgirls. After doing his normal pre-jump show and a few warm up approaches, Knievel began his real approach. When he hit the takeoff ramp, he felt the motorcycle unexpectedly decelerate. The sudden loss of power on the takeoff caused Knievel to come up short and land on the safety ramp which was supported by a van. This caused the handlebars to be ripped out of his hands as he tumbled over them onto the pavement where he skidded into the Dunes parking lot. As a result of the crash, Knievel received a crushed pelvis and femur, fractures to his hip, wrist and both ankles and a concussion that kept him in a coma for 29 days.

Along with the HELLS ANGELS, Evel Knievel was one of the best promoters of riding a Harley Davidson in a time (1960's & 1970's)when Harley Davidson was getting outsold by everybody.
Evel Knievel was a pioneer and helped to open doors to what has now evolved into Xtreme Sports.
Unfortunately on a few occasions, Evel tried to boost his image by telling interviewers that he
punched out a member of the Hells Angels.
Well this just never happened. It is a pure invention of his overblown ego.
So while we respect his accomplishments in the motorcycle world. We do not respect him as a man.
"MEN" don't lie to kick it!
So if Evel Knievel ever even dreams of beatin' on a Hells Angel he should wake up and slap himself.
Aside from that Evel put his balls on the table every time he jumped and every time he failed he got back up and gave it another shot. That's something that's got to be respected in and of itself.
but, "MEN" don't lie to kick it!

Lyrics
Verse 1
We can see him coming moving 85 down the track,
Yeah, we see him coming movin' on down the track,
All he has is one chance and there ain't no turnin' back.
Chorus 1
Well he approaches the ramp,
He looks to his side,
He gives it the gas and
He takes a high ride,
Evel Knievel,
Demon of the daredevil creed,
He flies a Harley over cars with guts,
Yes indeed. (guitar solo)
Chorus 2
You've heard of Caesar's Palace that's the name,
He had a bad fall but that's all in the game,
Evel Knievel,
Demon of the daredevil creed,
He flies a Harley over cars with guts,
Yes indeed. (guitar solo)
Verse 2
Well he's receivin' a trophy smiling as he gets a kiss,
Yeah, he gets a trophy and he get's a kiss.
He is a legend in his time and his skill you can't dismiss.
Chorus 1
end

| | From Evel Knievel - A Channeled Message About Blossom & MPixie - 251 sec
People of Earth. This is Evel Knievel, speaking to you from waay, waay, out there.
First of all, I want to give a shout out to our dear friends Blossom GoodChild, and that Babe who is channeling the White Winged Unconscious Nine. I'm sending you babes Love and Light, Full Throttle. There have been a lot of ugly words exchanged, because all of us are so deeply disappointed in the failure of the light ship to appear. In our disappointment, we have failed to see the bigger picture,- the bigger treasure that Blossom and MagentaPixie have enriched us with. They have gifted us with Sight, and reawakened us to the knowing and the becoming. And they have left themselves so vulnerable at the same time.
It's just like that time I jumped Snake River Canyon. I knew that rocket didn't have a chance in hell of getting over that canyon. But I strapped myself into that rocket, and I did the best I could. Did the fact that I failed to get across the canyon make me a pussy? No Way!
My friends, faith is like that. Faith is all about grabbing your balls and strapping yourself into your rocket and hurling yourself out there, with all the belief in yourself, the faith, you can muster.
Blossom and Magenta Pixie did that for us. They climbed on some crappy motorcycles and hurled themselves out there because they love us.
So grab your balls My friends, strap in, and always remember that hope is never a four letter word.
If I had one wish, I would drop a love bomb on you, but the Pleiadians won't let me. So I will leave you with this thought. It takes a whole team to get me over my goal. Ramp builders and mechanics and drivers. One man can't do it alone. Your lives are like that too. You are all members of God's most amazing motorsports team, The Human Race. And you have to stop fighting and get together, if you want to get your team, Team Homo Sapien, across that canyon. United you stand, and divided, you most definitely will perish.
In the meantime, I'd like to thank my Pleiadian buddies, and my sponsor -- Harley Davidson of Ganymede.
I want to announce that I plan to jump the moon. The Pleiadians have hooked me up with a cool new x three rocket, with a tasty light package and massive suspension.
The American moon colony won't let me jump over them, just like in Snake River Canyon. So I'm reaching out to an Indian colony, but there on the dark side of the moon, so you won't see it live. ESPN will probably carry it on pay per view. I will post the event on cycle jumpers dot com.
At my funeral, they spoke the words that I've always lived by. You must follow your dreams. No matter how stupid everyone tells you they are.
And I'm sorry I've been messing with your Google Earth pictures. That was just me practicing my moon jump.
Happy Landings my friends. You are So loved. You are Love itself.

Famous motorcycle stuntman loses liver fight. Robert Craig "Evel" Knievel was born in Butte, Montana, in 1938, the first of two children born to Robert E. and Ann Kehoe Knievel. His surname is of German origin; his great-great-grandparents on his father's side emigrated to the United States from Germany.[3] Robert and Ann divorced in 1940, after the birth of their second child, Nic. Both parents decided to leave Butte. Evel was raised by paternal grandparents, Ignatius and Emma Knievel. At the age of eight, Robert Knievel attended a Joie Chitwood Auto Daredevil Show, which he gave credit to for his later career choice, to become a motorcycle daredevil. Almost every jump he did was on a Harley Davidson motorcycle.
Knievel ended high school after sophomore year and got a job in the copper mines with the Anaconda Mining Company as a diamond drill operator . He was then promoted to surface duty where he drove a large earth mover. Knievel was dismissed when he made the earth mover do a motorcycle-type wheelie and drove it into Butte's main power line. The incident left the city without electricity for several hours. Idle, Knievel began to find himself in more and more trouble around Butte. After a police chase in 1956 in which he crashed his motorcycle, Knievel was taken to jail on a charge of reckless driving. When the night jailer came around to check the roll, he noted Robert Knievel in one cell and William Knofel in the other. Knofel was well known as "Awful Knofel" ("awful" rhyming with "Knofel") so Knievel began to be referred to as Evel Knievel ("Evel" rhyming with "Knievel"). He chose this misspelling because of his last name and because he didn't want to be considered "evil."
Always looking for new thrills and challenges, Knievel participated in local professional rodeos and ski-jumping events, including winning the Northern Rocky Mountain Ski Association Class A Men's ski jumping championship in 1957. During the late 1950s, Knievel joined the United States Army. His athletic ability allowed him to join the track team where he was a pole vaulter. After his army stint, Knievel returned to Butte where he met and married his first wife, Linda Joan Bork.
Shortly after getting married, Knievel (may have) left Butte to play minor pro hockey, joining the Charlotte Clippers of the Eastern Hockey League in 1959.[4] (hockeydb.com has no record of this.)[5][6] Realizing that he wasn't talented enough to make it into the National Hockey League and that the real money in sports was made by owning a team, Knievel returned to Butte and started the Butte Bombers, a semi-pro hockey team. To help promote his team and earn some money, he convinced the 1960 Olympic Czechoslovakian hockey team to play the Butte Bombers in a warm-up game to the Olympics. Knievel was ejected from the game minutes into the third period and left the stadium. When the Czechoslovakian officials went to the box office to collect the expense money the team was promised, workers discovered the game receipts had been stolen. The U.S. Olympic Committee wound up paying the Czechoslovakian team's expenses to avoid an international incident.
After the birth of his first son, Kelly, Knievel realized that he needed to come up with a new way to support his family financially. Using the hunting and fishing skills his grandfather had taught him, Knievel started the Sur-Kill Guide Service. He guaranteed that if a hunter employed his service and paid his fee, they would get the big game animal they wanted or he would refund their money. Business was very good until game wardens realized that Knievel was taking his clients into Yellowstone National Park to find prey. As a result of this poaching, Knievel had to end the new business venture.
During December 1961, Knievel, who was learning about the culling of elk in Yellowstone Park, decided to hitchhike from Butte to Washington, D.C. to raise awareness and to have the elk relocated to areas where hunting was permitted. After his conspicuous trek (he hitchhiked with a 54-inch wide rack of elk antlers and a petition with 3,000 signatures), he presented his case to Representative Arnold Olsen, Senator Mike Mansfield, and Kennedy administration Interior Secretary Stewart Udall. As a result of his efforts, the slaughter was stopped, and the animals have since been regularly captured and relocated to areas of Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho.[7]
Without a way to support his family, Knievel recalled the Joie Chitwood show he saw as a boy and decided that he could do something similar using a motorcycle. Promoting the show himself, Knievel rented the venue, wrote the press releases, set up the show, sold the tickets and served as his own master of ceremonies. After enticing the small crowd with a few wheelies, he proceeded to jump a twenty-foot-long box of rattlesnakes and two mountain lions. Despite landing short and having his back wheel hit the box containing the rattlesnakes, Knievel managed to land safely.
