Travis Pastrana, the Nitro Circus Leader and Action sports star legend from Maryland, USA . Travis is known for his many broken bones, fearlessness, for being the first Motor X Freestyle event winner for the X games at age 15, and for being the first person to land a double backflip on a motorcycle during the Best Trick Event at the 2006 X Games.

Pastrana was just 4 when he obtained his first motorcycle, and this is where he found his love and calling for motorcross.  By 2005, at the age of 22, he had already won a total of five X Game’s and Other wins by this time included Dew Tour and Red Bull X Fighters. In Total he owns 17 X Game medals, 11 of them being gold medals. He is the 3^rd most decoraded X Games athlete in history.

Apart from being known for his crazy and fearless stunts. Travis Pastrana is also well known for his positive, unpretentious attitude, which has made him loved by the world, the media and his fans.

He participates in FMX, Mountain Biking, BMX and he is also a Rally Driver for Subaru.

Travis Pastrana is known as Nitro Circus’s Fearless leader. His thirst for adrenalin is obvious since he has been the first to pull off many of the craziest stunts (for example being the first person to land a double backflip at the X Games). You would think after all the broken bones, pain and loss that he would’ve decided to put the bike away and try a safer career. But it only fuels his passion to get back on the bike and keep going.

Besides all his crazy, and highly risky stunts on his motorcycle. He has also skydived, with no Parachute. See the video in the link provided.
