Travis Pastrana’s World Record Jump Footage Follows

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

Well, folks, it’s about time we tackled a little news around here, and you’ve seen video of what DieHard batteries can do if given the chance, plus you’ve seen the newest possible Ford Explorer.

So today, we’ll show you something really awesome–footage from Travis Pastrana’s world record rally jump.

Pastrana, you see, isn’t merely content to break a world record.  His plan is to HUMILIATE it by staging a jump fully TWICE the current record’s length, and then follow that by landing the jump on a floating barge out in the Pacific.

The preparation that goes into this is amazing–they’ve got heavy construction equipment out there grading the road, and all sorts of practice jumps are being taken first.  But here’s the real kicker, folks–you’ll get to watch Pastrana do the real jump New Year’s Eve on ESPN HD, after the Chick-Fil-A Bowl game.

Start your TiVos and pray he makes it out in one piece.

Travis Pastrana is most famously known for his work on a dirtbike but if you didn’t know he is also a very well respected rally car racer. However, this New Year’s eve he is looking to take his stunts to an all new level. Just what kind of level you ask?

Well, he’s going to attempt to jump a rally car onto a barge in the harbor of Long Beach, California around 11pm and will air on ESPN. If Pastrana is successful in his attempt, Red Bull says it will surpass the previous record of 171 feet.

So, be sure to tune into ESPN this New Year’s Eve at 11PM Eastern to see Travis Pastrana attempt an amazing feat.
