Travis Pastrana Evel Knievel Tribute Jumps

A friend told me about this and I thought "Yea, but they're using modern day motorcross bikes, thats a big difference from Evel's bikes."

And turns out Travis is choosing NOT to use the motocross bikes and instead he's going to be using a modified Indian Scout FTR750 Flat Tracker. unk:

He's going to do the bus jump AND the Ceasar Palace jump back to back. Wow! :worthy: Ok, now THIS is a proper tribute!

If the Caesars Palace jump is setup the same way it was for Evel, he's going to need those modern brakes that the Indian uses. as I recall not much space to stop after landing left, right or ahead.

Yea even with the advance in motorcycles since Evel's days, it's still dangerous. As a kid who was a a HUGE fan and actually had the opportunity to meet Evel and get an autograph, I'll be watching this and rooting for safe landings for Travis.
