Annapolis native Travis Pastrana successfully jumps car over Ego Alley multiple times

He did it.
As the sun burned off the dense fog blanketing City Dock all morning, native Annapolitan Travis Pastrana jumped a car over Ego Alley at City Dock at about 11 a.m. Thursday. Then he did it again. And a third time for good measure.
Spectators lined up along Market House on City Dock cheered as Pastrana made the gap, soaring through the mid-morning mist over a neon-green powerboat that raced along the water. Pastrana made multiple jumps after the initial success as they tried to sync the car and boat. The jump was planned for the early morning, but the fog delayed the endeavor.
“Yeah, Travis!” onlookers shouted as he touched down on the far side of Ego Alley to raucous applause.
