Anyone interested in this? Starts now. Travis Pastrana will attempt 3 of Evel Knievels jumps including the iconic fountain jump.
Kinda excited, but prepared to be disappointed.

Evel Live- Now on History Channel
- Thread starter I am stupid
- Start date
That’s the one bad thing about the show. It’s 3 hours long but supposedly he’s going to make all 3 jumps back to back to back. If that’s true then we shouldn’t have to wait too long in between each jump.
Nah, the jumps will be the last 15 minutes of the hour. But it does suck it's so drawn out.
Yeah I’m noticing that now. I guess when they said back to back to back, they didn’t literally mean back to back to back. I’m DVRing a movie while I’m watching Evel Live and sometimes it can be finicky when you’re DVRing one channel while watching another channel, so I hope my receiver doesn’t decide to turn to the channel that I’m DVRing and won’t let me turn back to Evel Live because we only have 3 available tuners and I’m using one to watch Evel Live, I’m using second one to DVR a movie and my dad is using the third one to watch Evel Live.
Was boring as hell. Announcers talked, and talked, and talked about it forever.... then underwhelming jump after underwhelming jump. He landed at least halfway down the landing ramps on each jump. There was certainly nothing "daredevil" about any of that. People watch stuff like that because they want to see people cheat death. Pastrana is awesome, but those jumps were just way too easy for him. He does crazier shit on Nitro Circus.
Agreed KB. I knew he had a very good chance of doing all of them with no issues, otherwise he wouldn't do them. It was still impressive using the type of motorcycle he used, but it just didn't seem to translate well on TV anyway.
