A Night with Evel Knievel

#FlashFiction, #Flashbytes by #PhilipLoyd…Evel Knievel was one of a kind.  During the 1970s, there was no one on planet Earth more famous than Robert Craig “Evel” Knievel Jr., not even Chairman Mao.  All pimped out in his iconic red, white, and blue jump suit, he was more than just a star, he was a real-life superhero.  He even wore a cape.

So to think that my friend Graham Kraker and I would hook up with Evel one night in 1992 was nothing short of a dream come true.  Graham and I grew up in the 70s, and if you were a boy growing up in the 70s, Evel Knievel was your hero.  He even had his own action figure.

  2. Great story and photo! When I was a little girl, I used to pretend I was Evel Knievel. I built little ramps to ride my bike on and do pop-a-wheelies. He sure was an original — and an inspiration!
