Why This Man Is The Most Radical Human Being Alive ( Travis Pastrana )
Travis Pastrana is a bonafide action sports legend, a Freestyle MX pioneer, a fearless stuntman
a godlike motorsports icon and one radical dude.
For more than 3 decades, Travis Pastrana's body of work has been a huge catalog of chaos filled with unexplainable feats of human achievement, death-defying spectacles, superhuman levels of pain tolerance, and more holy sh#t moments than any athlete in history.
But above all, Travis Pastrana is a miracle, and sometimes it is hard to believe someone like this even exists. So, in this video, we will look at the outrageous and often unexplainable career of Travis Pastrana.

No other quad could drop you in the center of chaos and allow you to see what you were made of, like the Yamaha Banshee. A machine that could reach speeds of nearly 100 mph and deliver an experience like no other. In this video, we will look ...

    I’ve gotten to meet Travis a few times in the past couple years (he and Ken Block built a Rallycross track at my local track here in Utah) and I’m always struck by how happy he is, how much time he’s willing to give to fans for pictures and autographs, and how friendly he is with everyone. Seriously, Travis is friends with everyone! He’s a joy to be around and a joy to watch no matter what he’s doing. Awesome job on this video

  • @triggercrysisjames142

    I actually remember meeting 12-13 year old Travis at a friend's house where a bunch of us were free riding in Ohio. I was blown away not only at his ability but the fact this little kid was riding a 125cc bike and absolutely killing it! I literally remember saying, this kid has a bright future if he sticks with it... Yepper, I was right!... Travis became a legend!

    I'm a little young to fully appreciate Carmichael. I only vividly remember him on a Suzuki. I missed A LOT, lol . I grew up in the Bubba era. Man idk. I say it's split and they share the mountain. Carmichael for his aggression and self determination. Bubba for his raw talent and silky style. They achieved they same things. In different ways. They're both the goat's in different ways. Everyone else in Tier II. If I am wrong please don't be a rooster about it. We can talk normally. lol.
