When you look at the following photos of the Evel Knievel Tribute you don't want to miss tonight's episode of the Jackass 24-Hour Takeover on MTV. If you're doing a tribute to Evel, you better do it right. If it's in the hands of non other than Mat Hoffman, you know it will be nuts. Mat was injured himself but he had some friends show up who are not afraid to go crazy. Psycho for one, add Travis Pastrana, Trigger Gumm and Johnny Knoxville. Did you see Travis Pastrana try a no-handed three sixty backflip in Dave Mirra's

foampit on a BMX bike a few weeks ago? Well, watch the show tonight. Johnny Knoxville is one squirrely maniac on a bike and he launched himself into space on a motorcycle. The photo already gives away part of the result. Davin "Psycho" Halford got towed by a motorcycle to clear a huge distance on a BMX bike over a huge jump. Watch the show to see what stuntmen Allan Cooke, Big Mike, Jeff Snider and Scott Palmer did come up with.
