    Went to go watch this before going out on NYE. In person, it was HUGE. Car had crazy hang time, sight to behold for sure. Pastrana's got balls.

      Anyone who thinks Knevil didn't do physics calcs before each jump is a bigger gimp than that old redneck alcoholic shit head. Pastrana might have done the calcs but there are still huge risks of unpredictable wind shears etc

            Anyone could of done it. "As long as you hit 110 the car will do the rest"
            a 250ft jump on a dirtbike would have be more enjoyable. :)

            Check out that 320ft jump .

              1. Knevil would have had someone run the calcs (as I doubt he had the brains to count above 10 without assistance)

              2. The fact Is that the jump is fucking dangerous and not "everyone" could have done it. Of course, this being R3v everyone on here is Terry Tough waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles so you could have probably done it and used your ballsack as a braking parachute while fist fucking a supermodel... :roll:

                  Has any other rally driver actually tried to do a world record car jump? or are there's all during the races?

                    Can we all just admit it - it's more interesting to see them crash.

                      I'm surprised anyone would criticize this jump! That was bad ass, no denying that.

                          True, but it was a sick jump.

                              I was staying in Long Beach 2 blocks from the jump. I saw them build it.. No one would knock what he did if you where there to see what 250ft into a bay looked like in person (he ended up on the back end of the ramp and went 275ft).

                              Mind you he ran short of runway too.. Crashed into the back of the barge. It is/ was amazing

                                Oh yea, Pastrana did that when he was like 15. Watch his documentary 199 lives. It made me wish I was him even more.
