It helps make the US rallying bubble that bit bigger. Which is fine until someone tries to jump something so crazy that someone gets injured. A moving train perhaps? Or Ken Block tries to powerdrift underneath a jumbo jet as it takes off. I'm sure that would probably grab mainstream worldwide attention. Then it would be "rallying". But I'm exaggerating.
I think the problem people have is that this could feasibly bring in heaps of exposure and sponsors on the pretence that rallying is something that it is not. And these these stunts will only serve to mean that we will see more of this stuff. I personally think that is where the money will go. Not on rallying but on jumping over, into and on to of stuff. But when the energy drinks move onto their next extreme fad then you aren't left with much.
I have no problem with Travis Pastrana, the jump or anyone trying to push the boundaries. I just think it is naive to say it benefits the sport.RS Motorsport Media - Follow me on Instagram: rsmotorsportmedia

Wonder what the late Colin McRae would have done with Rallying in the USA.
Would have been good with Pastroni and Block.GG: "I'm stinky! I needa good shower and nice bowl of pasta!"

Wow, I'm a huge rally fan, but watching that video quite literaly took my breath away! Who cares that it's not proper rallying, it's one of the most dramatic and exciting things I've ever seen anyone do in a car.
Those of you who knock Travis need a bit if a wake up call. Thus guy is pure gold, and he's as rally mad as anyone. What he does now, a whole generation of kids around the world grow up wanting to do. The guy is a genuine superstar. At a time where we have probably the greatest driver who ever lived able to walk down most high streets of the world unrecognised, we need all the stars we can get.
I say embrace Travus and Ken, marvel at what they do and be thankful for all the publicity our sport receives because of them.
