Travis Pastrana Nails Three Iconic Evel Knievel Jumps

Steve Marcus

Travis Pastrana jumps 52 crushed cars in a lot east of Planet Hollywood Sunday, July 8, 2018. Pastrana recreated three of Evel Knievel's iconic motorcycle jumps on Sunday, including the Dec. 31, 1967 leap over the fountains of Caesars Palace that left Knievel badly injured. Knievel's 50-stacked-car jump, which Knievel landed, took place at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in February of 1973.
