I noticed he waited until a couple of minutes after the ball dropped to do his thing.

Hard to pass up Dick Clark on Times Square ,but I am glad I got to see both.

Agreed, looked too easy. Would've been more impressive without the fence on the end of the landing barge. :cool:

LMAO....true.....although he did slam the wall pretty hard...

Think about a time you slid into a ditch on some ice or snow. Maybe a time you were in a car accident. This guy just slammed into a tire barrier, knowing it was coming, at somewhere around 60-70 mph and climbed out within 15 seconds after the impact.

All after flying a car over a bay, ramp to ramp 274 feet! It looked easy due to planning and engineering. Amazing.

It was cool, but he made it look easy.

Now, the annual NHL outdoor game is tomorrow. That should be awesome.

I've watched the last two outdoor games, it's very different from your average game. Players can't see due to visors getting snow covered, the ice surface being messed up because of the weather, etc... Fun to watch, for sure.

The way the camera angles where it didn't look like the jump was that big of a deal. He should have been in the general lee then I would have really enjoyed it.

Yeah, it looked like cake. They had that one planned to a tee. Probably had the landing a bit short on purpose to give it some excitement.

There was practically no danger to him in that stunt. Now the double back flip (or whatever it was) on the motorcycle he did, that was pretty dangerous.

He does seem like a real nice guy. I like what his mom said.

"We always supported him and never encouraged him"

That was bad a$$. The guy last year did a back flip in the baja truck was bad a$$, the guy that jumped up onto the building then came back down a few years ago...yep, bad a$$. I have watched Pastrana since he raced, he is something else! Always fun to watch.
