Only better but with sincere due respect. And I think if Evil was in the stands watching he would concur indeed.

His sons continued the path created by their father, the legend, with admiration and loyalty.

Travis Pastrana jumps the "Palace" as his predecessor did umpteen million years ago . . . and with style . . . not on a Triumph . . . but on an Indian Scout 750 . . . still just the same a noble effort and success indeed. :D

Evil . . . The man had the courage to get back in the game time and time again. How many broken bones and surgeries? Wow. . . we can only admire his strength and fortitude.

A righteous honor to the legend.

A righteous rider to carry on the spirit of conquering the fear of the unknown. Take it away Travis! 8)

Interesting, I thought he was on a 2 Stroke & dirt bike chassis. I know Evel started with Triumphs & then H-D lured him to the XRs ..... but didn't most of the other jumpers use bikes with more suspension travel? I often thought Evel would have avoided some of his bad wrecks if he was on a lighter 2-stroke with more travel.
