Made plans for New Year's?

An event known as the “Red Bull: New Year. No Limits” party will be insane--as usual. Rally-car and X Games star Travis Pastrana will try to set a record for the longest jump in a rally car by jumping off a pier and landing on a barge floating in the harbor of Long Beach, Calif.

The current record is 171 feet set by Pastrana's Subaru teammate, Ken Block, in a rally car in November 2006. Pastrana, 26, wants to break that mark by more than 100 feet, and said he's aiming to clear approximately 250 feet of water between the pier and barge.

Pastrana's jump will be shown live on ESPN.

I'm a big fun of Travis. He's a really cool stunt man more than just a rally driver. Really knows how to market himself. Does any watch his nitro circus on VH1?

Have you seen the episode where Travis pushes his dad out of a speeding boat for "kicks". Poor guy ends up in the hospital with broken ribs and they all have a BIG laugh over it - LOLOL!!!

Travis is not your normal kid, rally drivers only drive in rallies and not much else. Travis can say “been there done that” to just about everything in this world. He does not fit into any category in this world and I don’t think he wants to either.
Trust me if he just wanted to do WRC he would have been at the top. He is just an exceptional talent and his first love has always been 2 wheels.

Nick who told you that rally drivers drive only rallies ?

Travis is someone who is very different, what he does is very risky. Taking risks does pay off, but in travis

case it pays off all the time with lots of nuts and bolts in his body. Total respect for the guy.

Above all else i think every sports man wants to leave behind a legacy.

Exactly my point Chetanrs, I hate to see people saying stuff like he is an Idiot and rally drivers are better than him. He is in a completely different league and for those who think he cannot Rally, he has been rallying in the US for past many years and winning. It is just not fulfilling enough for him and he is not the kinda guy who is going to commit himself to doing 7-8 rallies every year in different parts of the world. He is just and extremely Random person that likes to do different stuff and rightly said ,His legacy will remain unchalanged for a long time to come.
