How to Watch ‘Evel Live 2’ Special Online Without Cable

While Axell Hodges was injured during a crash in practice, Sunday’s Evel Live 2 special will still feature Vicki Golden’s live attempt at breaking the motorcycle firewall world record.

Evel Live 2 starts at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT and will be televised on the History Channel. If you don’t have cable, you can watch a live stream of the show on your computer, phone or streaming device via one of the following cable-free, live-TV streaming services:

Philo TV

The History Channel is included in Philo’s main 58-channel bundle, which is the cheapest among all streaming services if you plan on keeping it long-term.

You can start a free 7-day trial of Philo TV right here, and you can then watch Evel Live 2 live on your computer via the Philo website, or on your phone (iPhone supported), tablet, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV or or other supported device via the Philo app.

If you can’t watch live, Philo also allows you to DVR programs and watch them up to 30 days later. And even if you forget to DVR something, Philo also comes with a 72-hour rewind feature, which allows you to replay any event that has aired in the last three days.

FuboTV

The History Channel is one of 95-plus live TV channels included in the main FuboTV bundle.

You can start a free 7-day trial of FuboTV right here, and you can then watch a live stream of Evel Live 2 on your computer via the FuboTV website, or on your phone (Android and iPhone supported), tablet, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast or other supported device via the FuboTV app.

If you can’t watch live, FuboTV comes with 30 hours of Cloud DVR (with the ability to upgrade to 500 hours), as well as a “72-Hour Lookback” feature, which allows you to watch most shows up to three days after they air even if you forgot to record them.

Hulu With Live TV

In addition to a Netflix-like on-demand streaming library, Hulu also offers a bundle of 60-plus live TV channels, including the History Channel.

You can sign up for “Hulu with Live TV” right here, and you can then watch a live stream of Evel Live 2 on your computer via the Hulu website, or on your phone (Android and iPhone supported), tablet, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Echo Show or other streaming device via the Hulu app.

If you can’t watch live, “Hulu with Live TV” comes with both its extensive on-demand library (which has most shows available after they air) and 50 hours of Cloud DVR storage (with the ability to upgrade to “Enhanced Cloud DVR,” which gives you 200 hours of DVR space and the ability to fast forward through commercials).


‘Evel Live 2’ Preview

Last year’s Evel Live special, which featured Travis Pastrana completing a trio of Evel Knievel’s old death-defying stunts, was a success, so History Channel decided to bring the show back for 2019.

For Evel Live 2, Pastrana makes the move to the broadcaster’s role to co-host with Matt Iseman of American Ninja Warrior, while motocross riders Axell Hodges and Vicki Golden were pegged to attempt three different world record-breaking jumps.

However, plans were forced to change when the 22-year-old Hodges suffered a scary crash during practice and injured both of his ankles.

“Having a crash ahead of something you’ve been working so hard toward just plain sucks,” Hodges said. “The team and I were making a lot of progress during testing and the distances we were approaching looked good for Sunday’s event. Unfortunately, I made a mistake in air and wasn’t able to adjust in time for landing. I’m shocked I’m not in worse shape and feel extremely grateful to have been able to get up from this crash.”

In the revamped edition of the show, footage of Hodges’ crash will be shown, while Golden will still make her live attempt. The three-time X Games gold-medalist will try to break the motorcycle firewall world record when she attempts to ride through 13 flaming wooden boards.

“When pushing the limits of what is possible, risk comes with the territory, and the extraordinary feats which Vicki and Axell have been training so hard for contain so much risk that few riders would even think of taking them on,” said Andy Edwards, CEO of Nitro Circus. “While Axell is devastated not to be able to ride this Sunday, we know he is excited for Vicki as she aims to make history.”

The event will take place at the San Bernardino International Airport.
