Anyone have any clue who this guy is?
I've seen him in National results I think and a buddy mentioned him today.
Info?
I think he's a Colorado guy.

He races local races in Colorado and has been knowing to do some nationals and arenacross. He is usually a top three here locally

He's one of my best friends. He's a Colorado pro who's really fast. He only missed the main event in the SX class at Phoenix this year by 3 spots, beat a ton of fast dudes. He is going to try and do some more if he can afford it. He was on his way to A2 but his truck broke down on him. He's been killing it in the arenacrosses, would of won many lites mains and finished top 3 or so in the AX class but his bike has broke on him like 4 or 5 times. I think this year he's been winning like 4 mains and had his bike blow up on him, even did this weekend. He hauls, just can't get any help. The only way he can get bikes is through the local shop and is required to do all the local races during the summer, so it's hard for him to race anywhere else, he doens't have much money.

BUT, I heard today that he has a Babbits AX ride for next year I believe. I think he just picked that up this weekend. I really hope so because that's what he needs, he can break though I think.

No RDP doesn't do their engines, they just do the suspension. It's Rocky Mountain that does Travis's motors. Travis is also good on MX, the other year he did like 7 and made the first 4mains in a row and another one. He's got national potential for sure. He helps me a lot and we ride together all the time.

He really does have a shot...he just needs the backing. Fitch just received a ride...hopefully he can make something of it this year.

hey megatoad you should have travis come see me over at west side tattoo. were looking at helping some new people out and getting away from mma for awhile.I think I can get him hooked up pretty good. we've helped out some other guy's in the past like adam harvey. I've known travis for a couple of years threw racing and from out at mavericks. he's a really cool kid i have a lot of respect for if anyone deserves help he does.

Ok maverick I will pass the word on to him. I don't know if he'll be getting any more tattoo's because I guess he's like allergic to the ink or something ahha. He has one on his wrist that bothered him forever.

are you talking about those flames he has? if so it could have been the red ink. red is the only color we have ever seen or known about to cause problems. even though i would be stoked to throw some ink on travis alot of our help could have alot more to do with helping financially. in the past weve been able to pay for entry to all the statewide supercrosses for a couple of guy's. I just got to convince to big boss to see how far we can help him

Stroker motors seem to blow up quite a bit, could that be the cause? He goes alright, but isn't the next SX (or AX for that matter) champ.
