Anybody watch Richard Hammos doco last nite???
he was one of my childhood heros.
What a broken grumpy arrogant old man he ended up being.
Sad as it really as the show changed my thoughts of him,almost wish I didnt watch it!!!

130's rule
I watched it Andy. Never was much of a fan of Evel's - that show only confirmed it.
But it was a good show nevertheless. Hammond's humour mad up for the other shortcomings. Couldn't believe how much fanfare a small mining town in the middle of nowhere puts on every year for this.
Anyone recognize what was the black 4WD that Evel and his minder were in during a couple of the scenes - something along the lines of a Hummer ute. Only thing I've ever seen anything like that was I think a Lamborghini 4WD that came out quite a few years back.

Hey. He WAS Evel Knevel.
That was the man.
Like him, or not, but, don't speak ill of those who can no longer defend themselves.
I caught the last half hr, took me back, plus learnt a bit as wasnt aware of some of the stuff that happened in later life. I used to have one of those toys that Hammond was playing with

Watched the show. Was good to see the old jumps and learn a bit of the history behind the man. unfortunatley the fame got to him.
I think it is hard for anyone to meet their childhood hero, as what is behind the mask is a totaly different person than what one would expect.
I forgot about the toys, I think mine might still be in a box, in the basement of my brothers place. Remeber he was an action figure - boys don't play with dolls.
RIP Evel
