This guest truly needs no introduction, but like always, we're going to give him one anyway. He's been riding since he was 4 and started winning races shortly after. But early on, the freestyle life called to him and he answered in a big way. Long story short, he's gone on to become one of the most decorated athletes in FMX, with 17 X Games medals, 11 of which are gold. One of those wins came as a direct result of his landing the first-ever double backflip on a motorcycle in 2006. His list of accomplishments is basically a timeline of action sports progression. In addition to the double, and the side-by-side double, and the back-to-back double, the first mountain bike Aussie rolle, skydiving without a parachute, the moto barge-to-barge backflip, re-creating three of Evel Knievel's iconic stunts, and just so much more. He also goes real fast, with a growing resume of rallycross podiums, hillclimb records and class wins, NASCAR appearances, Motocross of Nations, and much more to come. We also have to list a few of the groundbreaking action sports moments he had a hand in. The moto triple backflip, the BMX quad backflip and triple frontflip, the moto double frontflip, to name a few. Without him, many of these tentpole moments would still be a sketch on a napkin at a dive bar. Nitro World Games and Nitro Rallycross are just two of the game-changing concepts born from his drive for major progression that prioritizes safety for the riders as well as entertainment for the fans. Then there's the videos, the TV series, the documentaries, and the feature films. Through it all he somehow found time to start an amazing family with Lyn-z, another action sports superstar. And now he's cementing his legacy with an appearance on this show, which is sure to finally give him the recognition he deserves. For real though, Nitro Circus and The Micah & Browny Show almost certainly wouldn't exist without this man, nor would our careers or many of our 23 previous guests' careers. So without further adieu, a heartfelt thank you and a huge Daredevil Nation welcome to Travis Pastrana!
