I remember watching it on TV

don't remember if it was live or not though , I do remember ABC's Wide World Of Sports wouldn't pay Evel the amount of money he wanted to carry it live

so he sold it to some pay per view syndication , and I have no idea how that worked back in the 70's

but I do remember watching it on TV , but all I really remember was all the confusion on what happened

I do also remember he was already getting slack way before the jump , everybody thought the steam rocket was stupid and doesn't count..................lol
