Link: Mike Douglas Show
Many of the reasons you don't see some of these videos is because of the legal matters with Evel and his name. I know two people who had Knievel videos pulled off and ended up losing the whole Youtube account. It didn't make them happy. It was because of the lawsuit that that guy filed against Evel. It's a mess. Gary and Robert Schreiber went after ABC and ESPN last year because of the videos of Evel they used in two shows. If I had to guess I believe Evel did in fact sign over his name because he needed the money. In fact when he went on Merv Griffin in 1985 he said that he had sold his film rights. So it's a big big mess. I don't believe Gary and Rober Schreiber own every appearance Evel made. I don't know who owns what. Does ABC Sports own the jumps or does Evel? It's a mess so just about everyone that has Evel footage is keeping it away from the internet. That's why I'm not sharing any of mine as of yet. I just had the Holy Cross jump put to 3/4 tape and also dvd but the problem is when I went to the jump they had signs all over the place saying no recording of any kind. While that concerns me to a point I'm more concerned about all of the lawsuits going on with Evel.
Anyway, check out the link with Shatner taking about Evel
