Evel Live is an electrifying, adrenaline-pumping show that features daredevil bikers attempting Evel Kneivel's most iconic and dangerous stunts. The event, which was broadcast live on TV, took place on July 8, 2018, in Las Vegas and starred a team of highly skilful and brave stunt riders, including Alexander Garganera, Carey Hart, and Matt Iseman. The show is a tribute to Evel Kneivel, the legendary motorcycle stunt performer, who set the standard for all extreme sports enthusiasts.

The event is hosted by Iseman, who is best known for his energetic commentary on American Ninja Warrior. He is joined by Hart, a professional freestyle motocross rider, who has competed in X-Games and Red Bull X-Fighters. Hart is also married to Pink, the famous pop singer. With these two veteran hosts guiding the audience through the performances, Evel Live is a captivating and engaging show from start to finish.

The event begins with Alexander Garganera attempting to jump a line of flaming limousines. Garganera, a Filipino stuntman, is no stranger to danger, having successfully leaped over a helicopter in 2013. The flaming limousine stunt is his most ambitious yet, as he must clear a distance of 150 feet and contend with intense heat from the burning vehicles. The crowd cheers loudly as Garganera hits the ramp and soars over the limos, landing smoothly on the other side.

Next up is Mike Schultz, a snowmobile athlete, who is attempting to break the world record for the longest jump on a snowmobile. Schultz, a four-time Winter X-Games gold medalist, is a seasoned performer, but the conditions in Las Vegas are challenging. The heat and dry air cause problems with the snowmobile's engine, and Schultz struggles to find his rhythm. Nevertheless, he manages to overcome the obstacles and achieve a jump of 147 feet, breaking the previous record by 16 feet.

The highlight of Evel Live, however, is Carey Hart's tribute to Evel Kneivel. Hart has spent years studying Kneivel's iconic jumps, and he's spent months preparing for this moment. The stunt involves jumping a recreation of Kneivel's famous Caesar's Palace fountain jump, which Kneivel infamously failed in 1967. Hart's version includes a longer ramp and a higher take-off point, increasing the distance Hart is required to jump. The tension in the arena is palpable as Hart approaches the ramp. He hits the ramp hard, and spectators gasp as he flies towards the landing pad. Miraculously, Hart nails the landing and rides away, completing the jump that Kneivel once failed.

The show concludes with Axell Hodges, a rookie to Evel Live, attempting a world record jump for the longest distance travelled on a motorbike. Hodges is a freestyle motocross rider from California, and his performance is nothing short of mind-blowing. He travels at incredible speeds and soars through the air over a distance of 471 feet, shattering the previous record of 392 feet.

Evel Live is a must-watch for anyone who loves extreme sports and daredevil stunts. The show is a fitting tribute to Evel Kneivel, and the performers are all world-class athletes who push themselves to their limits. With dynamic commentary, incredible camera angles, and a thrilling soundtrack, the show is an audio-visual treat that leaves the audience on the edge of their seats throughout. Evel Live is a modern classic in the long tradition of extreme sports, and it's a testament to the power of human will and determination. If you haven't seen it yet, you're missing out on something truly special.
