Noted crazy person Travis Pastrana gets bored easily, and he entertains himself by doing ridiculous, usually-dangerous things at high speeds. His latest stunt? The hydrojump. It involved him “skimming his Suzuki dirtbike at 70 miles per hour for 110 feet in five-foot-deep water, and then launching off of a floating FMX ramp.” It actually looks pretty fun in the video.

Remember, kids: don’t try this at home, unless Red Bull throws a sponsorship your way, in which case go nuts. [Autoblog via Didn’t You Hear?]
