Travis Pastrana skydives with no parachute

Just a pair of shorts and, of course, sunglasses

BikePoint hasn't seen anything this daring since Homer Simpson went paragliding, with Marge driving the boat and Bart and Lisa the navigators.

Of course, it all went pear-shaped for Homer, but this odyssey for freestyle motocross champion Travis Pastrana went off without a hiccup.

I refer to Pastrana's skydive without a parachute, which you can see by clicking here. And the fact he's wearing only shorts and sunglasses adds to the romance -- for want of a better term.


Pastrana, 25, won his first major freestyle event 10 years ago, and he's been a star ever since, as well as recently turning his talents to rallying.
