Travis Pastrana New Year's Eve 2009: Accomplishes World Record Rally Car Jump
Travis Pastrana set a New Year's Eve world record for jumping his Subaru Impreza WRX STI 274 feet across Pine Avenue Pier in Long Beach, California. The motocross champion and stunt performer launched his car over open water, careening into a wall after the jump, but emerged victoriously and unscathed.

The jump was televised on ESPN live, after the Chick-Fill-A Bowl this evening, in front of a screaming audience. Pastrana backflipped into the water after setting the record.
He'd apparently been practicing jumps that distance in the desert, but he was still a little nervous about the real deal. He said previously (via NowPublic.com): "I'm still scared to death. There's always a risk. But it's worth it to wake up every morning with a passion."
