Channeling Evel: Pastrana prepares to reenact Knievel jumps

'Evel Live' will hit US screens from 8pm on Sunday...

ON SUNDAY Travis Pastrana will replicate three of Evel Knievel's most famous jumps, aboard an Indian FTR750.

Pastrana will first attempt to jump a pile of 52 crushed cars, then 16 Greyhound buses and finally to clear the fountains at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. It goes without saying that each jump relies on the previous one being a success…

The epic reenactment will be televised in a three hour History channel special, starting from 8pm ET.
