In 2007 Travis Pastrana jumped out of an aeroplane somewhere over Puerto Rico. He didn’t have a parachute, but it wasn’t a problem – he was meeting a friend mid-air to harness himself into one.
A few years later, he jumped 52 cars. Which was cool. But not cool enough. So he jumped 16 buses. When the bike still had some fuel in the tank, he jumped the fountain at Caesar’s Palace, Las Vegas. That memorable night included 484 feet of airtime.
The 40-year-old is, without a doubt, one of the bravest people ever to set foot or fly above planet earth. All of which combined to make Saturday night in Salem something of an odd one.
