Travis Pastrana

sorry for the spelling.

I hear that he is one extreme guy, I have a friend that knows him.
awhile back he jumped from a plane with no chute, and grabbed on to someone with a chute on the way down.

now I hear he is going jump from a plane that is driving down and free fall back to another plane following and jump back into that plane.
crazy just crazy.


I also hear he is working on a triple backflip on his bike, he's got it down except for the landing.

travis you are one extreme guy, hope to meet you some day

Re: Travis Patsronia

saw a thing on TV a couple months ago about him. the good thing is he spends a lot of time thinking thru his "stunts" and doing dry runs before he every attempts them.

Plans for 2007-09

On December 13, 2006, Subaru Rally Team USA announced plans to enter Pastrana in certain World Rally Championship events in 2007, 2008, and 2009. In 2007, he is set to race three WRC events in the Group N class, driving a Subaru Impreza WRX STI–based rally car. In 2008, SRT-USA plans to enter him in the Production World Rally Championship, a series that runs concurrent with the WRC.[6]
During March 911, Pastrana competed in his first world rally at the 21º Corona Rally México. He finished 15th overall and fifth in the PWRC (Group N) class. His finish was the best by an American in a WRC event since John Buffum finished 3rd in the Acropolis Rally in 1988.
