Nope....not to worry....I purposely did not go online or read anything until I watched it....lol
I had forgotten when it was supposed to be on. When I found it, it was the last 30 min. Fine by me...I only wanted to see the fountain jump anyway.
I remember (I was 17) when Evel tried it 50 years ago. Then when he tried the Snake River canyon. Of course, both ended badly.

Yes, not so good for Evel....but nowadays there are super good and fast bikes so the diffs between then and now is like night and day....but I still wanted to see it...so I dredged through the three hours on and off while doing other stuff....
