TP, the 'other' driver for Subaru Rally Team USA, apparently is doing his best Ken Block impersonation...

Pastrana to attempt world record

Travis Pastrana announced on his website yesterday that he will attempt a world record in this year’s Red Bull: New Year. No Limits. According to his site, Pastrana will try to “shatter” the current record for distance jumping in a car. I imagine he’ll be using a Subaru.
The jump is slated to be in Los Angeles, but there isn’t a definite location yet.
Red Bull have put forward a New Year’s stunt before, most memorably Robbie Madison jumping onto the Arc de Triomphe in Las Vegas last year. Rhys Millen also attempted a backflip in a truck, much less successfully.

Meh, enough with the giant jumps. I'd rather watch racing than Evil Kenivel.

This was last New year's:

YouTube - Robbie Maddison's 2008 New Year's Eve jump

One of the sickest things I've ever seen.

gogetr · 08-05-2009, 09:44 PM

oi! i remember seeing that. simply amazing. when he went back in i thought he was dead, he landed so low.

FkVtech · 08-05-2009, 11:02 PM

Oh my god that landing was CLOSE!

Aussie77 · 08-06-2009, 03:13 AM

That would be pretty impressive if he could pull that off.

justincredible · 08-06-2009, 10:35 AM

I'm waiting for someone to try to drive through one of these...without the halfpipe of course.

Pastrana kicks ass. Dude backflipped a pink tricycle on the Mega Ramp.

talvai · 08-06-2009, 01:21 PM

I think both are good drivers, but the first to do a backflip in a subaru, land on their wheels and drive away has my vote for best

I don't think the Subaru will take the impact as well as the monster truck Travis tried this in on Nitro Circus when he lands it on the roof.
