Motocross Legend Travis Pastrana Lands 3 Death-Defying Evel Knievel Stunts
Travis Pastrana is an extreme sports legend, and yesterday, he performed the feats of another daredevil icon in Las Vegas — the late, great Evel Knievel.
During the “Evel Live” event shown on the History Channel, Pastrana — the third most decorated X Games athlete with 17 medals — broke some of Knievel’s records by knocking out jumps on a motorcycle that were either completed or attempted by the celebrated stuntman. Pastrana’s three jumps included 143 feet over 52 cars, 192 feet over 16 buses and 149 feet over the fountain at Caesars Palace.
For the event, Pastrana was dressed in Knievel’s signature red, white and blue, wearing a leather jacket, pants, gloves and helmet. The outfit was completed with a pair of stark white boots with zipper closure, ankle strap and black outsole.
Although no longer with the brand, Pastrana was at one time an ambassador for premier skate brand DC Shoes, and had several iterations of its sneakers bearing his name.
