Red Bull have made a name for themselves by being involved with everything extreme and every New Year's Eve the energy drink dispensers like to put on a stunt to keep the crowds adrenalin levels through the roof.

It started back in 2007 with Australia's own Robbie Maddison jumping his mx bike 98 metres over a football field, then Robbie followed it up the next year with his jump onto and off the Arc De Triomphe replica in Las Vegas.

Last year Travis Pastrana jumped his rally car 82 metres over water, landing on a barge in Long Beach's Rainbow Harbour, and this year the New Year lunacy falls to seven-times Winter X Games medalist Levi LaVallee.

Levi will attempt to jump his Polaris snowmobile longer than ever before and eclipse the current record of 91.75 metres.

“I can‟t even explain how excited I am to be part of this year's Red Bull: New Year. No Limits,” said LaVallee. “With the jump gap itself being longer than the existing distance record, it is going to be one heck of a ride!”

LaVallee will use artificial turf on his 335 metre run-up path, which will provide the necessary grip for his snowmobile‟s track to ensure maximum speed as he hits the take-off ramp. The jump will take him over a 91 metre water gap at the entrance of the Marina, where a small amount of snow will be sprayed on the landing ramp to provide necessary slickness so Levi can make a smooth landing.
 
“It will be awesome for people to see a snowmobile making a world record distance jump in San Diego,” said LaVallee. “Snowmobiles are made for snow, and last time I checked there isn't much snow in San Diego, but it is a great location for this event. Only at Red Bull: New Year. No Limits would you see something like this.”
