TRAVIS BIO

Travis Pastrana is to motor sports, as Harry Potter is to the wizarding world.  But Travis actually exists.  Sorry nerds.  Hailed by many to be near Deity, Travis Pastrana is without a doubt one of the greatest athletes of this century.  His vast list of achievements make Neil Armstrong (walked on Moon) feel like a failure.  He won his first X-games gold medal at age 15!  Most 15 year old boys are annoying and suck, Travis was neither annoying, nor did he suck.  Being the child prodigy that he was, he didn’t slow down, he went on and became the adult prodigy that he is today.  His greatness doesn’t stop with motorcycles either, he has claimed numerous records and titles on four wheels as well.  From Rally Cars to Nascar and monster trucks, Travis dominates them all.  He even back flipped a toy Big Wheel on a 75 ft. mega ramp.

For Travis, Nitro Circus is just a reflection of his wickedly fast and insane lifestyle.  As the ring leader of the crew, Travis is often the bar setter and just his presence alone inspires others to go bigger, faster, and more frenzied.  Who can’t help but be inspired when you see a guy bust out the first ever double back flip on a motorcycle, or watch him miraculously learn to walk again after a spinal trauma injury only seen twice before in medical history.  It seems like everyone around Travis seems to rise to the occasion and make the impossible a reality.

As much time as Travis spends high in the air above the rest of us, his unique, uncommon, and maybe even most impressive trait is his natural ability to stay grounded.  With as much recognition and exposure that Travis has been given, it is truly amazing the way he is able to stay like-able, upbeat, and the friendliest guy you have ever met.  Like he says “what  you see is what you get”, not a fake artificially inflated public icon.  He really loves his millions of fans, and anyone who is fortunate enough to meet him knows that.  So kids, if you want to be like Travis, don’t be annoying and stupid.  Nitro Circus and the world are lucky to be part of such a unique and talented individual.
