Big. Huge. Cajones.

...but not a single brain cell in his whole damn head. It's one thing to jump out of a plane with no chute on a spur of the moment decision cause Bodhi is holding the woman you love hostage. But to plan it out that way in real life? Stupid. Brave, perhaps...but still stupid.

Plane Loco
Travis Pastrana lives his life on the edge. Recently, he jumped over it.

On Wednesday, September 26, Pastrana hopped a flight from his home in Davidsonville, MD, to Arecibo, Puerto Rico, to perform a stunt he's been dreaming up for more than a year. The next morning, four members of his group skydived from a single-engine Cessna from 12,500 feet. Pastrana performed his jump wearing only sunglasses, socks and surf trunks while holding a can of Red Bull.

He was not wearing a parachute. Pastrana performed his jump wearing only sunglasses, socks and surf trunks while holding a can of Red Bull. He was not wearing a parachute...


Once Pastrana jumped, threw a few flips and steadied himself on his stomach, McMaster "docked" him by grabbing hold of his hands. Palmer then flew to Pastrana, hopped on his back and hooked his own parachute to a climbing harness Pastrana was wearing under his shorts, towing him in for the landing.
