Didn't see this anywhere on the site.
Thought a few might want to tune in, it's about a week away.

Pastrana is 100 times the motorcycle rider that Evel ever was and there's no question he's got the balls to attempt just about anything so it just makes me wonder why he is doing this. If he was going to do it on a 1967 Triumph Bonneville I would be very impressed... but he's not. They keep trying to claim he's going to be on an equivalent bike, but he's not. Lots of people have already done this stuff and much more on modern bikes.

It’s a promo for Indian Motorcycles; it’s cool; and Pastrana is surely getting paid to do it. Wonder no more.

It has been in a previous post and I keep asking the same question " DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE AND IF I CAN GET TICKETS TO SEE IT LIVE??!???"
I'm in Vegas that weekend and would love to watch it live.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Gary Wells missed the landing ramp on a 1980 CR250 Honda and was pretty fubar. When shit goes wrong it can get really bad. Best of luck to TP.

^ This
Travis may play the ADHD adrenaline junky in front of a camera, but hes a damn saavy business guy behind the scenes and I hope he makes bank on this gig.
Give 'em hell Travis and happy landings.

Metzger did it in 2006 with a backflip, his bike is in a karting track just off the strip

Pastrana is an all around likable guy that has done amazing things on a motorcycle. I really wish we would have been able to see a longer motocross career as he could do things / attempt things that others wouldn't even think about doing. I know he has had bumps. bruises, and broken bones over the years of all his stunts, but I cannot believe he has been able to avoid a life altering injury with the way he is willing to do just about anything that could be dreamed up on a motorcycle.
Here's to feeling good all the time

3 hr show for 3 jumps that take about 2 minutes total, they will have to show all the crash highlights a million times.

Not talking shit, he is undoubtedly talented with brass balls. But am I the only one that’s not a huge fan?

If there is anybody more core than Pastrana, I would like to see them. This guy is living the dream and pretty nice as well.

TP is too nice to do that. Hard to see any reason for someone to not like the guy. What is it about him that makes you "not a huge fan", Solidkm?

Funny that you guys think you know him so well. Probably never met him in real life. Not saying he isn't a great guy, just that you guys don't personally know that. I'm not a hater, but I'm not necessarily a fan. I was a fan of his racing. Now a lot of the stuff him and his crew do is just foolish.

I don't think I know him well; I know that I don't know him at all. That being said, you can get a general sense of a person based on years of interviews, social media, other people's accounts of him/her, etc. For example, despite not knowing either of them, I wouldn't hesitate to invite TP into my home...Nico Izzi, not so much.
