Monday night around 8:45, the Mountain View Cemetery, the final resting place of Evel Knievel and a testament to Butte, Montana's colorful past, was vandalized, apparently by a white box truck, tearing off the beautiful wrought iron arch and support that has stood for well over 100 years.

Evel is a legend. He was best known for his motorcycle stunts that occurred between 1965 and 1980. According Visit Southern Idaho, He earned the Guinness Book of Records title of most broken bones in a lifetime. Did you know that his most daring and final jump was across Idaho's Snake River Canyon...

A new documentary centers on the man who finished the jump started by Montana's Evel Knievel over 40 years ago.

Robbie Knievel, son of the late daredevil and international icon Evil Knievel, says he plans to celebrate his newfound sobriety by jumping over a Butte bar during Evil Knievel days next month.

Evel Knievel Days in Butte, Montana has grown to include new events such as their urban mountain biking course. It doesn't appear very long, but looks like a blast.

Butte, Montana's much loved and celebrated son, Evel Knievel passed away in 2007. Back in 1997, he appeared on Late Night With Conan O'Brien. Ice-T was there too. Nice pairing.
