Red, White and Evel 2! Two Daredevils are Out to Smash New World Records Over the Independence Holiday Weekend, Including the Longest Motorcycle Jump in History! Ric Talks with X-Games Medalist Vicki Golden, Who is Shattering Traditional Notions of Women as Daredevils, and Legendary Motocross Athlete Axell Hodges.

Get ready for more fireworks after the Fourth of July! The HISTORY network is kicking off its third annual Car Week with the unprecedented three-hour live television event Evel Live 2. Jaws will once again drop as two
motorcycle daredevils attempt to cheat death and make history on
HISTORY!

In Evel Live 2, viewers will watch as Vicki Golden aims to shatter the motorcycle firewall record where she will speed through a series of
flaming wooden boards. Golden will be the first female to attempt to
break the current record of 12 which was set back in 2006.

Next fans will witness as Axell Hodges goes airborne and attempts to soar more than 200 feet over 25 semi-trucks to break Evel Knievel’s 1971
attempt and Evel’s son Robbie’s 2003 record. The television event will
culminate with a stunt so daring few would even think of trying. Hodges will put his life on the line by attempting to jump farther than anyone
ever has on a motorcycle, a distance that was set in 2011 at 378 feet and 9 inches by Robbie Maddison.

Inspired by the legendary stunts of daredevil Evel Knievel, Evel Live 2 
will broadcast live from the San Bernardino International Airport in California. Professional motorsports icon Travis Pastrana will co-host with
Matt Iseman (America Ninja Warrior.) More than 3.5 million viewers
witnessed history in the making as Pastrana honored legendary
daredevil
Evel Knievel in HISTORY’s Evel Live in July 2018.

Fans who want to witness the stunts in person at the San Bernardino
International Airport in California can purchase tickets on 
NitroCircus.com.
