Anyone Ever have the Evel Knievel windup Cycle.
If you were a kid in the 70's these were cool toys,well there are a couple guys that are bringing back a toy like it,its not evel Knievel, but the name of 7 inch dare devil,you can preorder it on a fund me like page,there have been attempts to bring back the evel knievel cycle toy in the past,but they were junk,these are going to be high quality and powerful like the original ones from back in the day,one of the guys involved ,is a guy who jumps these toy cycle at shows and stuff,he is on youtube under,. 7 inch dare devil you can see his jumps. but to get all the info, pictures and video's of some of his jumps and to preorder go to www.ssdbtoy.com
iam telling you these will be cool to have and will make awesome christmas gifts too.

Not that I am a fan of The Comic Book Men show, I just left AMC on, after The Walking Dead, and happened to look up and see the guys playing with Evel Knievel toy motorcycle they just bought. I remember playing with my neighbor's Knievel cycle...that thing could take a beating for sure. This was all after an hour of Planet of the Apes re-enactment with action figures

I had the EK bike that was on the red wind up thing...I made a parachute with string and a handkerchief and used to jump him out of my bedroom window....great fun....but still remember scraping my knuckles with the wind up thing....bad design when looking back.
No intention to look at buying a revamp.....
