The first ever interactive infographic documenting the career of a modern superhero -- a man who captured the imagination of a nation for the better part of two decades.
The infographic illustrates all of Evel's jumps. At a glance you can see when he made each jump, what he jumped over, what bike he used, how far he went and whether or not he sustained any injuries during the jump.
Thanks Ken! You rock!
