Travis is a maniac. He was one hell of a motocrosser but this is another "near death experience"
To race professionally, you have to be incredibly talented and more than a little crazy.

That is nuts both videos gave me butterflies in my stomach and I am just watching.

I've done both.

Climbed Mt. Washington in my 2009 CR-V. I obeyed the speed limits 'cause there ain't no side rails if you miss a turn.

Took a helicopter ride down the Grand Canyon, got on a boat and took a twenty minute ride on the Colorado River, got back in the chopper and back to the top. Also crawled on my hands and knees on the glass floored patio and looked from the top to the bottom. My knees wouldn't keep me upright so I crawled so I could say I did it.

"Injuries have often taken Pastrana off the circuit for weeks or months at a time. His medical records include: a dislocated spine, he has torn his ACL, PCL, LCL, MCL and meniscus in his left knee, broken his tibia and fibula, he has had surgery on his left wrist twice, left thumb once, two surgeries on his back, one on his right elbow, nine on his left knee, six on the right knee, one shoulder surgery which left him with the only piece of metal he has in his body.[55]

When Pastrana was 14 years old, he was severely injured while competing in an FMX competition. He came up short, landing on the top of the front side of the landing ramp and the motorcycle decelerated from 50 mph (80 km/h) to 0 mph (0 km/h) in less than one second.[citation needed] The bike was stuck into the dirt ramp with the front wheel just over the top and the crankcase smashed into the dirt deep enough to support the entire motorcycle upright. He was severely injured, his spine having been separated from his pelvis. It also left him in a wheelchair for three months.[56]

“I was in and out of consciousness for about three days and had six blood transfusions,” says Pastrana. He also adds that according to doctors, only three people in the U.S. have ever lived after such an injury. It was a long and difficult recovery. Pastrana would routinely ride wheelies in his wheelchair around the hospital and therapy areas. While in the wheelchair recovering, he vowed to continue motorcycle jumping. He was also injured in July 2011 while competing at the X Games when his motorcycle did not rotate to the landing position, crushing his ankle and causing a fracture. However, Pastrana was back in his Subaru Impreza and competing in the Rally Cross final where he overshot the corner, forcing himself into the wall; on-board footage shows his leg in plaster being slammed against the wheel well, much to his discomfort.[57]"

He's like a bull rider that's had his brains stomped out.

Travis has won a few motocross titles but he made his name in the exhibition shit which is far from motocross. Most of the trick riders could not keep up in a motocross race.
