Travis Pastrana practices ahead of the big jump - Click above to watch the video after the break

"Hey, I think that'll buff out." So says Travis Pastrana, a surprisingly cool customer shortly after misjudging the speed required to clear a giant gap in his Subaru WRX STI rally car. Of course, if you're going to engage in such shenanigans in the first place, you'd better be prepared to deal with the consequences, right?

You probably remember the record-setting New Years Day jump off of a boat-mounted ramp, over 250-or-so feet of water, and onto another ramp floating on a barge. Well, as we had previously seen, Pastrana had plenty of practice before the main event, and Red Bull has kindly put together some behind-the-scenes footage showing exactly what goes into producing such a mind-boggling stung.

Motorcycles. Rally Cars. And Craziness. Absolute craziness. You know you want to watch, so click here to see the video for yourself after the break.

Travis Pastrana's New Year's Eve jump - Click above to watch video

Travis Pastrana spent New Year's Eve preparing to drive his Red Bull Subaru WRX STI off of a boat-mounted ramp, over 250-or-so feet of water, and onto another ramp floating on a barge. In earlier practices for the jump, at first he didn't stick the landing, then he skipped the landing part entirely. The New Year's event would be for keeps, though.

Follow the jump to watch the jump and see how it ended. Hat tip to Jon C!

Travis Pastrana's New Year's Jump Practice - Click above to watch the video after the break

Has your inner stunt driver ever wondered what it would be like to fling a ridiculously overpowered rally car off a ramp and onto a waiting platform some 250 feet away? Don't have enough Red Bull running through your veins to actually attempt such a stunt yourself? Well, we have good news for you.

Travis Pastrana is just the type to try it out in your stead, and the helpful folks from the aforementioned Austrian energy drink company have mounted a camera to the car's bumper during practice so you can see exactly what the scene looks like from behind the wheel. As with the last video, this is just a teaser to whet our appetites before the real jump (over water and onto a barge, no less) takes place on New Year's Day, meaning that the actual landing is left up to your imagination... for now. Click past the break to see it unfold.
