Travis will attempt the Caesars Palace fountain jump tonight on an Indian Scout FTR750. 3hr show on History starting at 8est.

http://www.history.com/specials/evel-live


With one jump per hour, Pastrana will attempt to recreate the concepts and exceed the execution of Knievel’s most famous moments. As Knievel jumped over 50 cars, Pastrana will attempt to jump 52. Knievel jumped 14 Greyhound buses, and Pastrana will raise that amount by two as well. Then the fountain jump.

It looked more impressive when Evel did it. It might be that I was a kid.

Evel's bike was likely 200 lbs heavier and a shade more than half the power....

Evel was nowhere remotely close to the level of athlete that Travis is. (actually he was an alcoholic wife beater) At 350lbs jumping the Indian would be like jumping a Monster. Roland did tweak the suspension and brakes, but other than exhaust the engine was stock. Travis was trying to ‘honor’ Evel from his attempt 50yrs ago. Apples and Starfruit.  ;)

Evel’s first televised jump which took place during a race. Triumph 650(?) was what he jumped early on.
