Evel Live 2

HISTORY, in collaboration with Nitro Circus, has announced changes to the format of the live television event “Evel Live 2,” scheduled for Sunday, July 7, following a crash by renowned freestyle motocross athlete Axell Hodges during a practice attempt at the longest motorcycle jump ever. Emulating the legendary daredevil Evel Knievel, Hodges tried to surpass the 2011 record of 378 feet and 9 inches set by Robbie Maddison, but he severely injured both ankles before the live broadcast. The revised show, airing at 9pm ET, will feature exclusive footage of Hodges’ crash, and four-time X Games Medalist Vicki Golden will strive to achieve a new world record with a spectacular live motorcycle firewall stunt.
