| Travis is charismatic, polite and determined young individual who enjoys life to the fullest. He can be seen in most motocross and freestyle videos pushing the limits of the sport he loves. His habit of pushing the limit, however, does not stop with racing. He recently took up skydiving and he will be featured in a new video doing backflips on his 250cc Suzuki while jumping into the Grand Canyon. He also had a chance to drive a factory Subaru World Championship winning rally car in England. The first priority in the Pastrana family, though, has always been education. Travis is taking online classes at the University of Maryland, and is currently majoring in Communication and Broadcasting. Travis perseverance is always evident, whether it is in racing, freestyle, skydiving, or driving. That is why the future of “Mr. Nice Guy" is simply, limitless. Through it all, he has remained articulate, respectful, creative, down-to-earth, confident, and very, very fast. He has never bothered with tattoos, piercings, tantrums, or an overblown ego. Travis merely does what he loves to do, ride his motorcycle, which is the most powerful expression of all. Whether it be on land, sea or air, Travis Pastrana makes his mark. |
