Not trying to start anything...my guess is Kayne West put a hit out on him
Hes been sick for a while with diabetes and liver problems, he was born and raised in my hometown and every august we have Evel Kneivel days. three days of stunt riders and abunch of other crazy stuff goin on. I heard hes wanted to be put to rest here. eveyone should try to attend Evel days one year. Whole lot of crazy sh/t goes on.
He lived longer than many here thought he would, rest in peace

do not know but this will date me, I used to race motorcycles against him in Great Falls, Sandpoint and Bozman back in the late 50's he was just starting to jump and we would help him set up his ramp and he would jump between the heat and mains, the tracks would pay him $50.00, which was a lot of money than.........he would also race,,,,,,,,fell at one track during the race and hurt his neck, he figured that at that time when he got well that he could do better at jumping and make more money..sad day................

Yup... his was a household name for me in the late 70's.

I bet you knew my X-Father inlaw. Darrel Triber. EK used to come over to Spokane and we would all have dinner at the Tribers. I gave him a ride on a quad for introductions at the stateline flat track races. He was one crazy SOB on and off the track. He had some crazy stories from back in the day, LOL!!!! He will be missed!

He was a woman beater, alchohol and drug abuser, and a general loser. But he will be missed by a lot of people.

I live about 4 miles from the ramp he used on the Snake river jump attempt. I can remember riding my bike over a homemade wooden ramp as a kid wearing a towel around my neck as a cape. And I bet I am not the only one!
