He did make the distance though. Does it count if you don't stick it?

I have a friend that is a Red Bull sponsored athlete and he receives ~$300K a year from them, but man, does he do a lot of stuff for them. Still awesome money, so he's not complaining.

Ha, makes me look at some of my clients and think - if only you were driving a rally car, your injuries wouldn't be so severe - or are you just making this sh!t up?
Pretty amazing if he actually comes out of it unscathed and without any chronic pain.
I remember when Ken Block made that kind of kick-a$s jump in a Subie (

unlike this one:
