Death Defying Evel Knievel Tribute
We got some proof that Evel's stunts are still inspiring people of this generation, decades after he performed them. Last week, Travis Pastrana successfully completed three of Evel's famous jumps including the jump over the fountains at Cesar's Palace in Las Vegas. He made it look easy and in fact, it went a lot better for him that it did for Evel Knivel. Evel ended up breaking 40 bones and spent about a month in a coma after that jump. In other words...don't try this at home (or anywhere else for that matter).
