All of Jim Marshall's work has become iconic.

Evil always struck me as a human metaphor.

I was SO bummed when he didn't make it across the Grand Canyon, even though I knew it was impossible, I was really hoping.

I sometimes miss my Stingray days.

I was so clueless as a kid. Around the time they were hyping the Grand Canyon thing, there was a documentary on TV about him and it ended with him about to do the jump across the canyon. But the film cut away and didn't show it. I was so bummed that they almost showed it and didn't.

For years I thought it was just a promo shot to build excitement about the real jump coming up. But I just looked it up and it's the end of a George Hamilton movie where he plays Evel. A movie!

I don't know how to embed the exact movie scene, so here's a link.

Hey, if The Fonz could jump sharks, then Evel should have been able to jump the canyon. He had a freaking rocket, ffs!

I want another stingray. One of the copper colored ones. And a sissy bar.

Or maybe the candy-apple red one.

Yeah, but how do you embed it with the Cellar wrap-around youtube things? My link above takes you to the correct scene. I figured that much out. If you paste the "v8vKk8Zy4ns&t=85m11s" inside those [youtube] things, it still starts at the beginning of the video, not at 85 minutes and 11 seconds in.
