Anything can happen in EnduroCross and the skills on display are amazing!
Irvine, CA (July 29, 2011) – “EnduroCross
is the gnarliest sport in my opinion” stated Travis Pastrana, who is no
doubt a gnarly dude himself. “I think it is probably the most action
sports of any kind of motorcycle racing you could ever have because
there is so much going on…” so this sounds like just the kind of action
you don’t want to miss. Check out the video at this link: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10150183012213039&oid=355701472355&comments
