This is not "how it was broadcast on Wide World of Sports." What about the part when he was driving around in London talking to the people? This isn't even close to what I watched on TV that Saturday when this was originally broadcast on WWOS.

@BuckNekkid3000 I didn't include the whole thing, just the jump. I did include other parts of it , look at my videos to find it.

The ABC Wide World of Sports broadcast of this jump (shown the following Saturday, on May 31st), included a telephone interview of Evel from his London hospital bed. Do you have that, and could you post it?

@swami1 I have over 100 tapes of Wide World of Sports shows that I have yet to transfer. If it's part of Wide World show . I do know I have video of Evel doing some kind of hockey bet thing with a Hockey player in 1975. I haven't transferred that yet but I will soon. That was before Wembley but after Snake River. I also have Evel when he was on some kind of Howard Cosell show in 1975 after his 14 bus jump . I think it was called Saturday Night with Howard Cosell or something like that.

I was there, 26th May, my birthday. My stepfather Tony (RIP) took me, prime seat up behind where the camera was positioned. A fond & enduring memory. Thank you Tony =)))

I was there at Wembley stadium too ... and couldn't believe it ... He attempted to jump all those buses ... well he made it over the other side. We didn't know how babdly he was hurt because he got off the stretcher ... I was looking for myself in the crowd ... LOL I remember it ll played out on my right side ... thank you for posting this!

Some man..... Health and Safety would never allow anything like this now.

I was there also that day as an 11 year old boy....the sound of that Harley was absolutely deafening.....he changed bikes a couple of times prior to doing this jump....I still remember the noise of the bike as they tried to pull it off him and pulled it up to full revs....it was like some really scary monster.....prior to the jump he told the kids to avoid drugs...and being an innocent boy I thought he meant to avoid going to Boots etc....The Snake river jump was much more insane than this.
