Summary:
He soars over snarling cougars and crates of poisonous snakes. Hurtles rows of buses and slams through walls of flame. Defies precipitous canyons and ornate hotel fountains. Garners wealth, fame and a spot in the Guinness Book of Records - his record was set by breaking 35 bones. Decked out in red, white and blue and exuding bravado, Evel goes through decades-spanning story of the hard-living, steel-straddling man who went to daredevil extremes long before there was anything called Extreme Sports.
