Travis Pastrana who is the star of the MTV show Nitro Circus will try and jump his Red Bull rally car more than 200 feet off the end of the Long Beach pier onto a floating barge. Pastrana will be going about 100 MPH when he zooms down pine avenue, off the landing ramp and onto the barge. This will be the longest jump landed in a car or its going the longest jump into the Long Beach Bay depending on the outcome. Here are some pictures and video clips of the take off ramp and the landing ramp on December 31, 2009.
Red Bull teamates Travis Pastrana and Kirby Chambliss have joined forces for one crazy ass stunt. In the clip below you see multiple angles of Travis Pastrana jumping over Red Bull Air Race World Series Champion Kirby Chambliss.

Los Angeles Travis Pastrana made jaws drop on Friday night, when he landed the first-ever X Games Moto X double back flip. The STAPLES Center crowd erupted as the multi-sport X Games superstar fluidly flipped his body and bike backwards two full times. Mat Rebeaud rode away with the silver. There is not much in life that compares to this feeling I have now. Im on cloud nine,said Pastrana.
Pastrana’s trick was so impressive, that his competitors were left with nothing to do but praise the 22-year-old Moto X innovator.
I’m just happy to finish number two behind him, said Rebeaud.
Its pretty much the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen. I’d heard rumors that heard never do it again, but you can’t count Travis out. And then, sure enough, in practice I saw them pull the ramp back. At that point I knew everyone else would be fighting for silver and bronze.
It was not only Pastrana’s show-stopping performance that wowed the crowd that included Hollywood star Sandra Bullock, Monster Garage host Jesse James and nearly 13,000 others. Rebeaud and Williams put on impressive displays as well. Rebeaud, landed a knack knack under flip twice (once one-handed), while Williams landed a cliffhanger back flip and a heel-clicker 360.
Nate Adams narrowly missed the podium – his high score actually tying the 91.80 of Williams, but his combined score for both runs (the tie-breaker) falling just short, and landing him in fourth place.
