Evel Knievel in one of his stunts (Photo by Evel Knievel's Official Website)
American movies and tv shows seem to make references to Evel Knievel everytime a character jumps. So that got me wondering: who the heck was that guy?!
Apparently, mr.Knievel was a North American stuntman motorcyclist made famous by his automobile tricks, specially jumps over cars and even lions (!), between the 60's and 80's. He was also known for having broken more than 40 bones of his body. Curiously, all his records were beaten by his son Robbie, who became known as Evel Knievel II.
