  • OK. I am getting some complaints (if you can believe that) that the lyrics aren't appearing on mobile devices. The lyrics aren't automatically generated. I listened to the song over and over and over until I thought I heard them correctly, and then added them to the video.
    Here they are in text form. Hope you enjoy the song even more knowing the lyrics, as I do:
    "I still recall the day I set out on my own. Not much at all but dreams to make it all alone. But one man alone can only get stronger if he's two. And I fell in love with the one that could help me through. And with you my wife, you made all my dreams come true.
    Then came a time stand up for all that I knew. Thieves in the night, taking the pain that I'd lived through. You at my side, finding the strength to move ahead. Crossing the line with help and the love from a friend. Holding the light that many had thought was dead.
    I've ridden the wind with the sun in my face. I rode in the wind and the cold and rain. No I wouldn't change my life by one day. I'll ride in the wind 'til I'm home once again.(repeat) Home again. Home once again. Home again."
    Evel Knievel. Song is 'Ridin the Wind' by Michael Stanton. I hope I've got the lyrics right. I couldn't find a soundtrack anywhere so I did a little editing. I saw the original Evel Knievel movie (with George Hamilton) 3 times at the downtown Baton Rouge theater, twice on the opening night, and I had to go see it again on the second night. I wasn't of driving age, so my mom took my cousin and me to the theater both nights. We rode our dirt bikes and dreamed of making big jumps for a week after that. Years later I paid BIG money to watch the Snake River Canyon jump LIVE on closed circuit TV at the Independence Hall in Baton Rouge. Evel was truly an original.

    Thank you for uploading this song. Now that I’m married and have two kids, the song means so much more.
    I first heard it like I think most of us did.. in Evel Knievel’s Greatest Hits VHS 📼. I was 9 or 10 years old and loved the song but of course had no idea what it meant then.
    Now I know because I’ve experienced life. Powerful stuff.

      YES! Evel nailed this jump! He was under tremendous pressure, ABC & promoters of Canyon Jump didn't want him to perform this jump because it was so close to the Snake River event, and they had all the money spent hyping it up. Had Evel gotten crashed it would have blown that event timeline, But Evel Needed the money bad- made big bucks for this jump and he was strapped for cash with Bob Truex still being owed money for X2 Skycycle development at the time. Evel was such a Bad-Ass.

      it skips because if you watch the original video in VHS, they feature a promo/anti-drug message that Evel gives the fans in Toronto before he makes the jump, so my man Harrel here just spliced the two ends together to create this awesome video. Thanks Harrel, you did us a huge favor uploading this song!
