Evel Knievel was a way cool biker dude. He inspired a whole generation of kids to build a ramp in their backyard for bicycle jumps and helped to inspire all sorts of new extreme sports. Even skateboarders were likely influenced by his daredevil antics, not just your bike or motorcycle kids. He will be greatly missed as the granddaddy of extreme sports and stunts.
In recent years, Knievel bagan to suffer from many health issues. But this past year he also became greatly influenced with a new found faith in Christ. Earlier this year, he gave a moving testimony of faith over Robert Schuller's Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, California that was aired twice that helped to inspire many towards a renewed or strengthened relationship with Christ. It was the most powerful moving of the Holy Spirit that this church had ever witnessed, and moved the young pastor, Robert Schuller, to cancel his sermon for that Sunday as nothing was more moving than a such a powerful example of the movement of the Holy Spirit in a church that had at sometimes been seen as light in spiritual depth by some religious critics.
Evel Knieval has inspired two strong personas. One as the bad boy biker daredevil dude, but also to many others as someone who came to a geniune move of faith late in his own life. He leaves behind a powerful legacy of inspiration to many for both of these great achievements in his life. God rest his biker soul.
