Travis Pastrana Jumps Motorycle From Water
Travis Pastrana, rally driver and motorcycle stuntman extraordinaire, has completed the world's first Hydrojump. The stunt consisted of mooring a ramp 110 feet from the shore in five-foot deep water. He then raced his motocross bike at the water in excess of 70mph, keeping the power on as he went feet wet. This was fast enough for him to hydroplane all the way out to the ramp and jump off of it. The bike was completely stock, with no flotation devices or special tires. More » -

X-Games Rally: Watch It, Bub, Or Else
If you're a resident of the US into car racing even a little, I hope you'll do us a favor. Please Watch X-Games Rally this weekend. It's airing this Sunday on ABC, wedged into a three-hour block that'll be dominated by skateboarding. Normally we'd recommend waiting for the YouTube clips of Travis Pastrana doing whatever he'll end up doing in a Subaru (not to mention on a dirt bike), but not this time. Rally needs you, and you only get one a one-hour shot each year to tell big media you want more of it. More » -

ROCin' ya Face! Finns Win Race of Champions
Travis Pastrana had to forget about it and go it alone this year in the Race of Champions, as Jimmie Johnson and his last-minute replacement Scott Speed couldn't make the competition. The multi-disciplinary Pastrana put on a solid showing, as one might expect, but the day belonged to Finland. And when was the last time the day belonged to freaking Finland? Marcus Gr nholm was taken by Pastrana, but Renault F1-driving teammate Heikki Kovalainen was en fuego, giving the Finns the overall win while Swede Mattias Ekstr m took it overall. Nevertheless, one man down, the U.S. took home the silver, and if there was any lingering question about Pastrana's overall skill, that's just been put to bed like a narcoleptic newborn with a scag addiction.

Gleaming the Tube: X Games Rally Update
There it went, this past weekend — the first rally car racing event graced the X Games. As matters shook out at the The Home Depot Center, Travis Pastrana and co-driver Christian Edstrom wound up with the gold, but it was Colin McRae who scored the most freestyle points with the Rockstar-addled crowd. Coming into the games' "Super Special" contest with a 0.5 second edge over Pastrana was veteran rallyist, McRae, who was favored to dust the field. But as he and co-driver Nicky Grist dropped into the stadium for a last sprint for the finish line, he barrel-rolled the team's Subaru, landing wheels down. A last, full-throttle effort toward the checkered flag brought him in 0.52 seconds short — nabbing McRae the silver medal. Pretty slick, Macky. Thanks to amateur video, we can check it out here. Aye! Click through for final standings. More »

Jalopnik Team Party Crash: X Games Rally Party in Los Angeles
"Man, I ain't never been to a Rally-party like this," explained Rally Innovations driver Kevin Welker as we both stood gawking at the hordes of beautiful-ish people that had bum-rushed the Avalon in Hollywood for the X-Games After Party. Rallying, that loveable sport where hopped up Evos and STIs go "Dukes of Hazzard"-style airborne crazy, has been added as an official X-Games event. Mr. Welker went on to explain that every Rally party he's been to comprised drivers, mechanics and owners slamming cheap beer and pizza in a community center. This was very, very different. More »

X-Games Rallying: Americans Hold Their Own Against McRae
It's gotta be daunting to go up against Colin McRae in rally competition. It's like staging against Don Garlits or qualifying against Junior Johnson. Or going for a friendly jog with Carl Lewis. Then again, when you're Travis Pastrana, we imagine it takes a fair amount to faze you. And while the Vermont SportsCar crew makes mental notes to bring more air dams to next year's rally, Pastrana is only a half-second off of McRae's pace on the X-Games rally. Meanwhile, after hearing McRae's tale of taking out a photog during a stage, Scotto is reconning the courses for very stout trees to shield himself. More »

Scotto Can't Get Enough of the Rallying
Whether it's the point-to-point, party-to-party on-road banzai antics of the Bullrun and Gumball, or the off-highway, minimal-traction action of WRC, it seems like our boy Scotto just can't keep his face filled with rallying.

Travis Pastrana Chalks Up First Rally Win
The former motocross superstar won his first race Saturday at the Rim of The World Rally outside of Los Angeles. Pastrana won by a significant margin, but that's probably because this wasn't part of the WRC circuit. That means there wasn't much competition besides Pastrana's own teammate Ken Block, who came in second. There is some upside to this win though. Pastrana gets an ego boost and the two drivers get familiar with the route most likely to be used in this summer's X Games Rally competition. The marketing folks know where the money is that's for sure. It's on ESPN during the X Games and they want their drivers to get some air time. Get it? Air time? X Games? Ahhh... nevermind. More »

Pastrana Gets a Factory Ride from Subaru
Brian, rapidly becoming our source for all things Travis Pastrana passed along the news that Pastrana and DC Shoes co-founder Ken Block have been conscripted by Subaru as the drivers for their two-car Rally America factory team. The cars will be prepared by Vermont SportsCar, which built Pastrana's previous cars. As far as we're concerned, this can only be good for American rallying, as Pastrana's one of the hottest young alternative-sports stars around. Plus, he rolls cars with such panache and flair, it's hard not to root for the guy, y'know? More » -

Rolling a Subaru with Travis Pastrana
We mentioned a couple of months ago that motocross hero Travis Pastrana is trying his hand at rallying. Our man with the hip-hops, Brian hipped us to the fact that Pastrana's effort's got some serious muscle behind it, but muscle wasn't enough to save Travis and his co-driver Christian Edstrom from what can only be termed as a gnarly roll when Pastrana carried too much speed into a corner. The footage is shot from three angles, so you can watch Travis as the car flips. And flips. And flips again. And again. At one point, his arm gets sucked out the window from the force of the roll. He's lucky he was able to hold onto it. More »
