Pastrana Attempts Rally Car Jump Record - Wheels Blog - NYTimes.com
Also lots of preperation clips on you-tube!!

 

Subaru not in the WRC, so Times are getting hard to get advetising

how many Ken blocks does the world need? LOL

I don't know, but after watching some of Pastrana's antics on You-Tube I'm sure this will be pretty good!
YouTube - Travis Pastrana Skydive With No Parachute

 

Seen a few of his Nitro Circus programmes, he is certainly very brave or silly!!!

 

stupid is the word id use. lol the double back flip was bloody amazing though!

 

This one is brilliant..... YouTube - Nitro Circus Tricycle Backflip

 

is this the same guy who jump tower bridge at 3am in agaust on a dirt bike.

 

no that was another free styler

hes no ken block, pastrana pre-dates mr block by far. guys an absolute legend in the moto-x scene i followed him most of my teen years when i used to ride.

 

the guy is a complete nut case!! He has been around for years on teh moto-x scene, so long infact it's hard to believe that he is only 26...... madness!!!

Guy is a legend and always entertains

The Jump

How Lazy are the Americans?? Stripped out Rally car but still has electric Windows... suprised it wasn't an automatic car LOL

 

Most of the current WRC machines have electric windows, and they weren't designed by Americans.

 

pastrana is a legend, he was huge when I was riding motocross.

Pastrana, Carmichael, and McGrath were huge influences.

 

nice jump

Not quite sure how people can be negative or down on this?

1) its entertaining
2) its a feat of massive bravery and *****
3) it promotes Subaru/Rally/Cars we love!

But each to thier own!

 

neeet

 

Car jumps have never done much for me. (shrugs).

Respect however for the fact there is no way you could do a controlled stop in that distance so hitting the barriers was a certainty.

 

Really good, I bet the number crunching before hand was interesting.

 

the first man 2 do a double back flip on a motocross bikes hes the nuts

 

Ditto but watched the Video and was entertained
