Travis Pastrana In GQ 4

The image we normally associate TP in is either riding gear, a driving suit, or maybe even as little as running shorts while diving out of a plane. But, if you check out the May issue of GQ Magazine you'll find him in a six-page style spread in a different sort of "uniform," where he showcases a variety of summer-weight suits while riding his bike in downtown LA.

The May issue of GQ is on newsstands through May 24, but if you just can't wait, the story and images are here.

In the article he talks with author Josh Dean and says, "If I was smart, I would just go live in a beach house somewhere," he says with a big goofy smile. "The problem is, when I take a week off, I still do the same shit that I do for a living."

He also discusses his parents, who have grown tired of seeing Travis bounce off unforgiving surfaces: "My mom can't really watch anymore,"' Pastrana says. "But she's always been good at allowing me to make choices." His dad, too, has long been aware of his son's nature. When Travis was five, he announced he could fly with the assistance of a bedsheet. "My dad was like, 'Okay, jump off the roof. Let's see you fly.'" Mr. Pastrana pulled up a lawn chair as Travis jumped and...sprained both ankles.
