…and one day, he went off a jump that was too ambitious, too extreme. He launched off the ramp, and ascended into the sky. No one saw Eagle Knievel ever again, but we know he’s watching over us.

Our Intro and Outro music is by Ben Landis off his album Adventures in Pixels – “Credits Music for an 8 Bit RPG” (Twitter @thebenlandis)

Our interlude track was Kamer “Whistle On Your Way”
