In the world of extreme sports there is one man that stands out from the rest, that man is the one and only Travis Pastrana. Creating and breaking records is one of Pastrana’s main fortes with the American winning world titles in AMA motocross and AMA supercross and also performing the first ever double back flip on a motocross bike.

At the tender age of fourteen Pastrana was already winning world championships when he secured The World Freestyle Championship in 1998, the American followed that up a year later with gold at the first ever X Games freestyle event becoming the youngest ever gold medalist. Pastrana also entered his first pro motocross race and in true Pastrana style the American took the checkered flag much to the amazement of the motocross community, Pastrana was now a phenomenon in the world of extreme sports.

Pastrana then showed his versatility aboard a motocross bike when in 2000 he secured the AMA 125cc Motocross World Title at the first time of asking and Pastrana wasn’t finished there as he then went on to secure the 125cc AMA World Supercross title. The awards just kept coming for Pastrana as he was named the AMA 2000 rookie of the year and was also named the 2001 motocross rider of the year by ESPN, as well as re-securing his X Games goal medal in freestyle.

Pastrana has gone on to amass a total of ten X Games gold medals including seven golds in free style, one gold in Moto X best trick, where he secured the highest ever score for his outrageous double back flip and two golds in Rally.

Travis Pastrana hasn’t just limited himself to just two wheels with the Suzuki rider trying his hand at four wheels. Rallying was now Pastrama’s new found love and the boy from Maryland quickly adapted becoming four time Rally America Drivers Champion and remarkably winning two golds in Rally Car Racing at his beloved X Games, where he beat rally legend Colin McRae. Pastrana also competed in NASCAR finishing in a impressive 6th place but due to injuries sustained aboard a motocross bike Pastrana was unable to compete in any further NASCAR races that season. In 2013 a fully fit Pastrana decided to compete in a full NASCAR season, where he finished a respectable 14th.

World records are also something Pastrana has added to his list of achievements. Pastrana officially set a new world record in a ramp-to-ramp car jump, the American smashed the previous recorded of 52m to a set a astonishing worlds best of 82m. Pastrana also broke the world record for the fastest ascent of Mount Washington in a car, setting a time of 6 minutes, 11.54 seconds.

With Red Bull being one of Pastrana’s main sponsors throughout his illustrious career, the energy drink provider has know doubt helped boost Pastrana’s profile and help elevate him to the star that he is now. With Red Bull’s continuing support who knows what astonishing feats Travis Pastrana may complete next.
