Travis Pastrana, a multi-time X Games winner, NASCAR driver and co-founder of the Nitro Circus, successfully accomplished an incredible stunt on Sunday when he jumped 140 feet over the fountains of Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada. Pastrana used a 340-pound customized Indian Scout FDR750 to make the jump, and his final distance clocked in at 149 feet. The Indian Scout is a modern-day evolution of the flat track bikes of the past. He said it’s double the weight of the dirt bikes he normally uses in jumps, with three times the power and about one-third of the suspension travel. “I literally have to hit 68 mph in under 200 feet,” he said. “With his high-heel dress boots, if I miss a shift, I’m in the fountain for sure.” The motorcycle is liquid cooled with radiator from Vision Global Technology.
