BEING EVEL

I for one thought this was a very telling and honest movie.I learned a lot of things watching this movie...and got a few answers too. I learned that Shelly Saltman is a very gracious man,even now when considering what evel done to him.He is saying things like "lets remember the good that Evel done" and what I think he is really saying to FORGIVE.It was eye opening to hear Linda and several close friends say that book was an accurate account of what happened. And when he played the tapes of Evel,it was clear he could have put a lot more things in the book that he didn't..the tapes did speak for themselves. Not pretty for sure. It does make me want to go buy the book.When Evel went after the reporters literally and then just left because one told him he should apologize to the other one...not good. But I still would like to read the book now. I did also like hearing for sure that Evel actaually did try and launch one of the x-2's secretly .I have always wondered if he actually launched one off the 56 degreed angled rail ramp at the canyon sight and this movie does say that it happened with pictures of it to prove it. Isnt strange that the parachute blew off that one too!! Anybody else catch that? Anyway that's my two cents on the movie...See if you can.
