I only mentioned Johnny Greaves jump because it was an obvious poach on behalf of Monster. There are endless catagories for jumping but keep in mind that Travis isn't jumping a street car by any stretch of the imagination. The longest distance jump ever driven away from was by Ray Baumann from Austrailia. He jumped 241 feet ramp to ground. Ken Block jumped 171 feet to ground also. What made his a rcord? Dunno - maybe because they felt like calling it a record when it wasn't...
