Travis Pastrana and Red Bull are teaming up to make an already overrated New Year's Eve even more exciting (!). Pastrana will attempt to break the world record for jumping an automobile that, for promotional purposes, happens to be covered in Red Bull decals.

Red Bull filmed Pastrana practicing the stunt and here's how it works: jump a distance, if he makes it, move the distance back. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. One problem: with a just a few days remaining until he actually has to pull this off, practice appears to have hit, well, a giant hill of dirt.

Video excitement below.
