"Evel Knievel remains a hero to so many that remember his
fearless exploits, incredible outfits, crazy vehicles and of
course the world wide best selling toys. We are delighted to
have worked closely with Evel's son, Kelly Knievel, to produce a
game that is inspired by Evel's skill, flair and charisma. Young
fans of motorcycle games should enjoy the fast, dynamic gameplay
and will no doubt be amazed at what Evel Knievel attempted, and
that he actually piloted a Stratocycle." stated Simon Jeffrey,
CEO of Barnstorm Games.
"This is a terrific action game that will allow Nitro Circus,
X-Games and extreme sports enthusiasts to play as the definitive
motorcycle hero on mobile for the first time. Kids and fans from
the seventies who reveled in the iconic Evel Knievel outfits and
motorcycles can relive that experience again, whilst retracing
key achievements from Evel's incredible history." stated Kelly
Knievel.
The official Evel Knievel App will invite players to attempt
increasingly challenging jumps at famous locations showcased
during Evel's career. Before earning the right to take a jump,

completing goals and jumps to purchase new increasingly powerful
motorcycles.
