In record-breaking attempts to beat 3 of Evel Knievel's most famous stunts, Travis Pastrana bested the daredevil all three times.

He hit Caesars Palace rocking a Red, White and Blue jumpsuit on an Indian Scout FTR750 V-twin motorcycle and first jumped 52 crushed cars for a total of 143 ft.

The next attempt was 16 Greyhound buses, an attempt to beat Evel's record of 14.

The third jump was over the Caesar's Palace fountain, a feat that actually left Evel hospitalized with several broken bones. Luckily, Pastrana had a much cleaner landing.
