The saddest thing would have been if he did stick to racing, my childhood would have been a lot less interesting and a lot less inspired.
its funny cuz its true.
TP was not a good racer. what made him win was his willingness to hang it out everytime he raced. which is why he crashed so much
If you compare to Dungey, who is cool collected and steady and well boring to watch.
while TP is the complete opposite who is flashy exciting and a loose wire.
TP is loved because he is a showman, which is why he fits better into the Nitro Circus than Team Suzuki
You reslly, really, REALLY, need to watch some early 2000's races. Dude has skills and talent for decades
Agree. Obviously he has balls and tried stuff that others didn't but he grew up winning amateur titles and his lanky frame threw the 125 around a national track faster than anyone else in that era. Realistically, the 125 class 15-20 years ago was more about technique than anything. Compared to the lites bikes of today those bikes were severely underpowered and the riders couldn't rely as much on their bikes as they do in current times. Deegan won a race for this reason on a largely stock privateer 125, this would never happen today. You think a privateer on a stocker could hang with a Pro Circuit guy today? If anything it was a lot more about the rider than the bike in that era, which speaks volumes about Travis' racing ability.
Saw Travis beat Robbie at his home track when pastahmi was in his prime
Robbie is one of only a few who ever caught and passed Ricky
Fact!
Those are the good times
Guys hung it out and didn't give up like you see today

I think its still on youtube, a few years ago Robbie had a 2 stroke shootout at Reynard Raceway. Robbie, Pastrana, Uncle Ronnie, and several other big names raced. Travis was blazing fast and looked like he raced on a regular basis in those motos. You wouldnt know he quit racing 10+ years before

Robbie didn't race that day
I was there
It was awesome
TP was a beast on that 125
Ruts were mammoth and he railed them
Good time that day
Think Colt Nichols was in 2nd behind him
Kenny was doing a lot of sitting on the seat after lap 3!
Hope they get some really good footage of this whole event.
KW is even more of a legend for putting this on at his farm.
