Travis Pastrana might just be a certifiable madman. In 2006, Gymkhana-ist Ken Block managed to set the world record for jump distance in a car at 171 feet. To ring in 2010, Travis Pastrana decided to see if he could beat demolish that record.

Soaring 269 feet in a jump-prepped Subaru WRX STI over Long Beach harbor, Travis made it look easy, and even giggled as he plunged the car head-long into the tire barrier at the far end, taking out the camera equipment installed there, perhaps just for fun.

But were the stunts over after that? Of course not.
