History will be made by Levi LaVallee on New Year’s Eve at Red Bull: New Year. No Limits., airing live on December 31 on ESPN. The seven-time Winter X Games medalist and champion snocross racer will attempt to jump his Polaris snowmobile longer than ever before and eclipse the current record of 301 feet.

The event will take place at the Embarcadero Marina Park in the Port of San Diego. Embarcadero is Spanish for «landing place,» making it an appropriate location for LaVallee’s jump. «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 1,100-foot 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. LaVallee’s jump will take him over a 300-foot water gap at the entrance of the Marina. A small amount of snow will be sprayed on the landing ramp to provide necessary slickness so Levi can make a smooth landing.

Leading up to his big night, LaVallee will work with athlete performance experts, physicists and engineers, in addition to his core team, in an effort to get the most out of his body and 450-pound snowmobile.

LaVallee becomes the fourth athlete to star in Red Bull’s annual New Year’s Eve celebration on ESPN, which highlights extraordinary athletes pushing their physical, mental and technical limits to break boundaries and records.
