F Travis Pastrana...

OK...I don't really mean any disrespect to TP but come on...He's got this big Red Bull, New Years Eve jump scheduled for 250 feet...If last year's Red Bull broadcast is any indication, Cam Steele will be there ranting and raving about how this is the biggest, baddest event ever, blah, blah, blah...

So why didn't Red Bull put the number so far out there that no one would attempt to touch it before the event??

Well, the TP, 250 feet in a rally car jump is now just an afterthought. Johnny Greaves has jumped 301 feet in a short course truck. That's one foot more than a full football field in the air. An incredible feat to be sure and driven by his sponsor (Monster Energy) to strip away as much publicity as it can from its rival, Red Bull, before its televised event. I doubt the broadcast on New Year's eve will make any mention whatsoever of Greaves jump...but the rest of us know what the real deal is...
