Evel Knievel http://evelknievel.com/the-man/
For those biking enthusiast among us- and those that are thrill seekers. The ultimate daredevil was born on this day in 1938. Used to remember watching every jump he made on ABC's Wild World of Sports. While I thought the spectacle was great, the broken bones that followed many of his crashes would not have been glamorous to have lived through.

Around this time in my youth I started building ramps and jumping my bicycle over things. One time I jumped over the lawnmower, handle and all and proceeded to plow into the back of my Dad's Cadillac...He was not impressed, but he left an impression on me...!!!

The best part about this stuff was when we were all doing this, if the ramp did not work out the solution was always "make if bigger!"
