Daredevil Travis Pastrana replicates Evel Knievel’s motorcycle jumps

Daredevil Travis Pastrana has successfully replicated three of Evel Knievel’s motorcycle jumps.

Appearing on Sunday night in Las Vegas for the History Channel’s Evel Live event, Pastrana cleared 52 crushed cars in a 143ft jump and 16 Greyhound buses in a similar feat over 192ft.

Pastrana, who wore a jumpsuit similar to what Knievel wore in his heyday, said the fountain jump was the hardest. He said it was “an honour to live a day in Evel’s boots”.
