Extreme athlete Travis Pastrana set a Guinness World Record on New Year’s Eve with a 269-foot jump across the Pacific Ocean in a rally car. More than 35,000 people attended the event on the Pine Avenue Pier and millions more watched the festivities live on ESPN.
Travis Pastrana celebrated his new record by ascending to the ramp’s highest point and saluting the cheering crowd, then black-flipping into the surely cold (and polluted) Pacific Ocean.
