How This One Man Changed The Entire World Of Motorsports ( Travis Pastrana )

[@ismaelsilva572]

There will be a time when we will be discussing the unbelievable quality of the Born-a-Goon videos, just like those videos present the incredible acchievements of other people. You´re a star. What a touching homage to Travis Pastrana. What a great video. Thanks.

[@BornAGoon]

Your words are too kind Thank you

[@dc6233]

I wouldn't want anyone else to provide tribute to these amazing people many of us grew up with. Mr. Goon may take awhile for new content but that's because we know it will always be a phenominal video that's worth the wait. Thanks Goon!!

[@aaronmachado13]

I grew up in Annapolis, lived by him and something every one in Maryland always respected is he’s stayed in Maryland living in Davidsonville allowing local kids ride at his place. Dude is a badass yet a man loyal to his home and family.

[@BornAGoon]

that is awesome

[@jamesbroomfield9561]

road there a few times as a kid, my dads best friend was his dentist. was always super down to earth and inviting. never once had an ego. always a pleasant human being to be around

[@carlosg.9841]

We lost a promising motocrosser but gained the best ever action sports rider. Excellent video!

[@FarmerFpv]

He is my childhood inspiration. I started riding at 6 years old because of him. Travis Pastrana is just so likable. You can't help but like the guy.

[@Frenchymoto]

Same here

[@BornAGoon]

He is a legend

[@dnttrip_gaming5049]

Dude the most inspiring guy to watch racing and all that growing up! Always get up!!:)

seriously i was rewatching the goat one the other day and thought… i hope this dude drops another one of these soon.

[@r3beatty]

double thumbs up.

[@psychlops924]

I’ve gotten to meet Travis a few times in the past couple years (he and Ken Block built a Rallycross track at my local track here in Utah) and I’m always struck by how happy he is, how much time he’s willing to give to fans for pictures and autographs, and how friendly he is with everyone. Seriously, Travis is friends with everyone! He’s a joy to be around and a joy to watch no matter what he’s doing. Awesome job on this video

[@anthonydavenport1841]

I know him pretty well. My best friends dad grew up and went to school with tj lavin and Carey hart, and Travis came in the picture when I was a kid. I remember when the did the first nitro circus show in Vegas, travis himself picked us up in a limo and we were on the ground watching it. Not to mention the vans fully loaded with gear and bikes that he let us use. He’s such a good guy it’s insane

[@jasongedney4911]

@@anthonydavenport1841 Thats incredible! I've always wished I could somehow end up getting to meet him someday. Hés a great guy with a big heart! He let you, your friends and family use the bikes he had in Vegas... that wicked rad!

[@JohnLikesDoe]

He is Evel Knievel of our generation. Goosebumps every time I hear his name. He reminds me of the Simpsons episode of Evel Knievel. I bet he saw that episode a million times.

[@GARBO96]

Evil Knievel didn't have a racing career if anything he's much better. He's able to do stunts and win races

[@BornAGoon]

Thanks for watching

[@JohnLikesDoe]

@@GARBO96 My comment wasn't about who is better. Both are legends in my books.

[@SosopChabot]

Both are legends but Travis makes Evil look like a hack and is tame if you were to compare. I can’t think of someone that’s remotely close to Travis’ level, plus he gives so much opportunity to others in the sport around him. Freestyle motocross would not be were it is today without him…

[@JohnLikesDoe]

@@SosopChabotLOL!!! be careful you might choke on that 🍆🍆🍆

[@zog6940]

That Supercross race where Travis and Kevin Windham were side by side, looking over at each other over the jumps, will live in my head forever. It was so great, as a child, to see two competitors having fun and respect for each other.

[@Reuben-ny3]

Man I remember those days when the magazines and forums were all a buzz about what Pastrana was going to get up to. It was an awesome time in the action sports realm to see all this stuff coming about. I know we are about motorsports, but skateboarding, snowboarding, and BMX were bonkers too. To me Pastrana was in the right place to keeping this crazy feedback loop going. Great times indeed!

[@BornAGoon]

The best of times

[@ronangrayson]

That intro was FIRE.

[@BornAGoon]

thank you I appreciate that

[@loganpinner5212]

After this one and the one about Ricky you are now obligated to make more of these, Thank you.

[@BornAGoon]

would love to keep making these They take a lot of work though Over a month on this one lol

[@missinglinq]

I can't wait to take this video in - Pastrana is one of the greatest stuntmen of all time. I'm going to save it for Saturday morning.

[@BornAGoon]

thank you I appreciate that

[@TheDesert1x]

Born A Goon, please, don’t ever stop doing video documentaries like these. Been following your channel and I can say these are top quality and much better than other productions out there. Huge fan here. Keep up the good work!

[@DarrenShaw-ev5tb]

Thanx Goon ! - Another Killer One

[@BornAGoon]

thank you I appreciate that

[@LILMADERR23]

LETS GOOO! These autobiographies are amazing.

[@BornAGoon]

thank you I appreciate that

[@travistharp4215]

Travis pastrana is the reason I ever started riding. I had family who raced but it never interested me till I saw him when I was 8 years old do a backflip and shock the world. Since then I’ve been a fan and have so much of his things from bikes to tattoos of 199. He’s what pushed me when I was tired half way through a race. I said if he can do it so can I.

[@thelifeofvojash3529]

i am for certain that this is the best content machine on youtube, thanks for every second you have put in this videos

[@TravisTerrell]

It's awesome hearing my name praised over and over! Glad you opted to call him Travis instead of Pastrana. :D

[@kiiiisu]

was about to close video when u called small bobcat bulldozer but kept watching, very good video thanks!

[@rickackley158]

I have been beating up my 97 blaster 2 for 24 years. And yes I'm putting my name on the list for a 25 pro. Can't wait til next summer. Great video. Thank you

[@luke138watson]

This was a fantastic documentary, you have a new subscriber!

[@triggercrysisjames142]

I actually remember meeting 12-13 year old Travis at a friend's house where a bunch of us were free riding in Ohio. I was blown away not only at his ability but the fact this little kid was riding a 125cc bike and absolutely killing it! I literally remember saying, this kid has a bright future if he sticks with it... Yepper, I was right!... Travis became a legend!

[@ogasi1798]

it has been a pleasure watching him grow all the way, this video brings back so many memories - superb doc fella well done

[@BornAGoon]

Thanks for watching

[@jasonjavelin]

Simply a GOAT. Never been into motocross but always loved dirtbikes and trail riding and this guy is just a super cool and quality entertainer not afraid to push the boundaries. That double backflip is legendary

[@Leick42]

I know all off this prior to watching your video, but, this was well done. Fantastic narration 👏👏👏👏

[@genturgidson8948]

Dude, you are killing these videos. Absolute Banger like your Carmichael one, or really I think any of your catalog. Look forward to what is next from you, but still enjoying all that you have done so far.

[@joejoe-qn4hu]

If Evel Knievel was still with us, he would probably say this guy is the best Daredevil of all time. A true athlete, a humble dude, a genuine guy who always smiles. He is 1 of my favorite riders, and i rode red & green, lol.

[@BornAGoon]

thanks for watching

[@jackdlamb]

He was is and always will be the goat 🐐 I literally worshipped Travis aa a God as a youngster as he was so far ahead of the curve. TP is a real living legend

[@jeffthompson6248]

That was an EXCELLENT video!! It brought back so many memories of watching all of these events live. Like you said in the video, I remember the first time I witnessed the greatness of Travis in my first VHS freestyle motocross video, Crusty Demons of Dirt, and seeing this young kid that was not only keeping up with the older guys, but surpassing what they were capable of. I was like, wow, who is this kid, that dude is legit, need to keep an eye on him, his going to be somebody. And for all the times I watched him crash in a motocross, only to pop up at this new thing called freestyle moto...and destroy the competition....I WAS HOOKED! I loved it, and I loved watching Travis show up everyone. And what you said at the end is so very true. How many of us have lived 'the safe' life, put our dreams aside because it wasnt convenient. Travis has absolutely lived the dream for all of us.

[@D9Beats]

These videos are so top notch! It's amazing to see action sports documentary filmmaking really getting some heavy hitters like you in their space. Thanks!

[@LKnight32]

The word legend is thrown around far too much these days but he is the true definition of a legend! I still remember growing up watching all the X games to see what new stuff he was bringing each year. 2006 and the goosebumps I had waiting for him to drop in for that double backflip will live with me forever! 🙌🙌

When he did the double backflip I was like 18, I couldn’t believe what I had seen..one of the most exciting moments of my life watching that

[@BornAGoon]

what a moment that was

[@Littlemumu_]

i grew up in a small town in brazil, my dad used to visit me end bring some nitro circus cd's, at time i was like 4 - 6 years old, and i completely love it, i all ways tried to reply the same things like doing jumps with my bike, something was inside of me saying "sand it", when my father gave me my first dirt bike i was feeling something that i can`t explain, a giant happiness. After my injury, i all ways try to do all i can do to keep that kid alive.

[@waltergeer2048]

Got to meet Travis several years ago. Very down to earth

[@huckfinn4260]

I gotta give you credit for making a video that gave me goose bumps down my spine pretty much the whole way through. One hell of an intro. Well done sir.

[@NVE]

i loved travis when i was a kid. he had so much style on that 125 man. i loved every thing about his riding, his freestyle runs were on another level during those early days in a period where there werent many tricks and style was everything.

[@badroosterimages3719]

Travis is one of the nicest persons you'll ever meet in motorsports and here's there until the last fan gets an autograph. It's not mentioned; but, he also sent some time in the seat of Scott Palmer's Top Fuel dragster back in 2022.

[@Wamboshield007]

This man is my childhood and love his work and seen nitro circus twice and can’t wait to see more this man

[@kamakrazi]

I remember sitting in my room and watching this live on ESPN. It was insane. The coverage about his mom, his sick af lumberjack kit. It was epic. After he did it, I got in trouble for yelling and running around the house. My mom thought I was crazy, but she just didn't understand the magnitude of what I just witnessed. Travis is a legend.

[@jeffreyammon3082]

I meet Travis once before at a bike shop i was working at before steel city race and man he was the nicest most genuine dude i think I've ever met. Bless him and his family. Love that dude.

I was lucky enough to watch Travis coming up as an amateur Motorcrosser He would be running a 85. With basically no competition, so they put him in the 125 A class on a 85 and he could run and win races on any given Sunday. We all knew then he was going to be something special. Never could have imagined how far he has come. One thing, I always remembered. How nice. And polite he, his mother and his father were

That no fear MX gear use to be so sick. TP is a legend and one hell of a nice dude. Grew up racing with him and got to train with him when I was on 50s and 60s before he went super big. Idk how the dude is still alive. Everyone calls Jett Lawrence an “alien” or “not human” but he isn’t even close to the same level as TP. Dude is just unreal with what he can do.
