[@Researchthejoos]

" Jeremy Rogers making millions " Yeh cool story bro

[@D4Clout]

You forgot to mention, when he broke his ankle an still pulled off a backflip.

[@w1jim]

Here's one of my favorite Travis stories. We're at the New England Forest Rally when a kid comes up to Travis and asks him to autograph a hat for his buddy who is in the hospital. Travis says "let's get him on the phone!" and proceeds to chat with the kid in the hospital. One thing I learned early on - Travis has lots of fans who frequently visit the hospital.

[@w1jim]

Here's another one Travis told a bunch of us about 15 years ago at the STPR rally in Pennsylvania. We're in the town square prior to the start of the rally and a kid comes up to Travis and says that he saw him in Syracuse do some crazy flip and it was rad. Travis said "you look familiar, we're you in the stands with another guy with a broken arm?" The kid said "yeah, that was my friend so and so!" Travis told us afterward that lots of his fans have a broken arm, had a broken arm or are going to have a broken arm, so it was an easy call.

[@noredcr]

i met him after waiting in line for over an hour for his signature at wickedbigmeet, i felt stupid because i normally wouldnt do that but for some reason i stayed in line and im glad i did because even after signing autographs for well over an hour the Travis was still upbeat, happy, and seemed genuinely excited to meet all his fans.

[@deadstump4970]

He is constantly nice and outgoing even when he has every reason not to be. I was at NEFR one year at the start of stage 2 or 3 when his car suffered some electrical problems and he had to retire right there on the line. So he just hung out. Chatted with everyone, all smiles even though he was disappointed. Crazy charismatic. Seems like a great dude.

[@jordanhaugen9765]

Travis did this at the Ojibwe forest rally also. Couple teens are there and tell Travis that their buddy couldn't be there. Travis told the kids to get them on facetime and he chatted with the buddy as his crew was yelling at him to get back in the car to leave service to avoid penalty.

[@crf80fdarkdays]

Even as a young fella I could just tell Travis was a good dude by watching his nitro circus tv shows, he's a genuine down to earth bloke

[@Jamiejustloves2]

It's a relief to know that his dark side is being determined to follow what makes him happy, the amazing aspect is the total commitment and support his parents matched his commitment with. His father has given him the most amazing tools to pursue his dreams. Kudos to the whole family. Magical story

I raced under 13 motocross with Pastrana, he had a focus that I can still remember and getting my ass whipped by him at 2 years younger than me pushed me away from racing after 13. His family and he were always amazing. I'm so proud of all he's done in this world....

[@berry013]

I was at the X-games when Travis landed the double back flip. Was the most awesome thing I've ever experienced. I was maybe 14 years old. We were sitting 1st row along the balcony above the ramp they'd turn around on after the landing. The WHOLE staples center went silent. All you heard was Travis' 2 stroke pinned to the max. Then, when he rode away the place obviously erupted in excitement. I'll always remember that day like it was yesterday. I actually found my ticket stubs from that event while going through boxes last weekend.

He is a beast. Friend of mine was in a motorcycle accident that left him paralyzed. Friends of friends passed the word along and nitro circus got him a sick chair

[@believe8263]

I've met Travis a few times and he was very respectful and nice every time. He is who you want your kids to idolize.

[@JohnThePiloteer]

I grew up watching Nitro circus, and got the chance to see him race at MXoN in 2018. Everytime he came around, you almost couldn't hear the bike over everyone cheering for him! The best part was that he was one of a few guys that actually tripled LaRocco's leap.

[@rarmstrong2804]

My family gave up so much to keep my son and two daughters on their race bikes. Travelling all over the country for races not to mention the cost of buying and maintaining the equipment. All the money and sleeping in the tent at races was worth it in the terrific kids it turned out. Strong, motivated and confident kids became wonderful adults. If I had it to all do over I would do it with great enthusiasm.

I have a friend who is like Travis. Anything with a motor in it, he is just great at it. Signed by suzuki when he was young, his family couldn't afford to move started racing mini sprints, was rookie of the year his first year. It takes a family with extra money to make these things happen.

[@roblennon4057]

Growing up on the east coast about two hours from where Travis grew up I straight up idolized this dude. I remember reading anything I could get my hands on about him. Followed him when he'd be in the X Games. I still remember watching him land the double backflip like it was yesterday. I hope to meet him someday. But all of the concussions he's had and surgeries im curious as to what the future holds. Look at Dave Mirra he passed a few years back. I know he has crazy night terrors but I wish him well.

He was someone for a lot of kids to look up to. i first learned of him watching gravity games 99. And i remember seeing guys like degan trying hard to be an asshole. And his riding was nowhere near as good as travis.

[@CKpremium1992]

This dude was my childhood idol.. had his posters on my wall, had all his Nitro Circus movies and even went to a few X-games events and saw him live.. I remember one year (can’t remember which arena it was but it was in Southern California) he was racing speed and style and was winning as per usual til he crashed hard and lost as per usual. He took a lap around the edge of the track and I ran down to the seats closest to the wall and there was no one around me because the sun was blazing on the first 20 rows so most people say 20+ rows back and he was coming towards me and I was like “Travissss nooo!! Whyyyy??!!” 🤷🏻‍♂️ and had my arms out like the emoji and he saw me and did the same thing stuck his arms out like 🤷🏻‍♂️ and said I’m sorry kid… he knew I was so broken hearted that he crashed and he was disappointed.. may not seem like much but to me a little kid who looked up to him it meant the world to me that he acknowledged me. Pretty cool little moment. The guy is easily one of the most special human beings alive.

[@QuixEnd]

I met Travis by accident at a few events and he's always as nice as possible. I noticed he hires super friendly guys as security to watch over his equipment, so when dummies like myself get too close to his WRX rally car, a friendly Australian will come out and say hi instead of an intimidating security guard telling you to bug off. Thought that was kinda smart

[@michaelfishkin4332]

I met Travis at BostwickMX. Ironically wearing one of his shirts. If their was a Mount Rushmore of action sports Travis would be there.

Easy and fun to sit back and watch someone do cool stuff well. Puts it into perspective when you realize the effort and sacrifice it takes to be the best at literally anything. Travis is an awesome example.

[@dieseldabz7104]

I remember watching Travis take the win at Southwick #338 here in Massachusetts MANY years ago now. One thing you failed to mention is he got bored with motocross because of the lack of competition he felt towards the end. Nobody could beat the kid, nobody. AND look at him now!

Great breakdown of his career but I was expecting to hear about how he has night terrors and sleepwalks and his personal struggles.

[@jaymiller6009]

Wow, this guy most definitely chose the very finest of parents!! It almost brings a tear to my eye to see the dedication and sacrifices they made for their son. Also, that they didn't push him in the way some parents do; as a way of using their children to somehow attempt to relive some dream they believe they missed out on themselves. Instead, Travis loved what he did and his parents followed through on their promises and made sure that he held up his end of the deal as well. When you see stories of people who are the absolute best at something, it seems that almost all the time, the person was dedicated as a child and were essentially obsessed with whatever it was they became great at. Someone who picks up a guitar when they are 19 and hope to make it in music has almost no chance of making it. BUT, someone who gets their first guitar at 8 years old, plays every hour they can in any spare time they can find, LOVES playing guitar and experimenting with different techniques, sounds, etc. MIGHT have a good chance at making it. At the other end of the spectrum is some father who pushes his son to be the best hockey player he can be. He makes the son do endless drills, enrolls him in power skating, pushes him in the gym, yells at him that second place is just being the best loser you can be, etc. etc. will often turn into some guy who is an amazing hockey player but walks away from it all at 17 because he never wanted to play in the first place- or the fun he did have from playing the game ran out years earlier.

I know that Travis isn't NItro Circus per se, but the fans really got screwed at the Brisbane show. It was borderline fraud, if not actual fraud, that they probably paid the media to cover up behind the scenes. It really paints a sour picture of the way they handle business and makes it difficult for me to want to see another show.

It's considered "harmful and dangerous acts" and can get the video age restricted which limits the reach. Sometimes the same video will get flagged on one channel but not the other so I'm just extra cautious with it just in case.

360 goes to deegan

[@notch7751]

8:25 ... Wasn't Brian Deegan the first person to land a 360 during a freestyle motox event?

[@truhrtwins7079]

What's the point of blurring the crashes?? Who you think you're protecting?

[@RustyorBroken]

This guy is the boulevard of adrenaline, such a livin legend! Love his crib !

[@robfultz7946]

Travis is a legend and a helluva nice guy. Great video!

[@jdalsII]

You didn’t do his amateur career any justice. He was a young phenom who was winning everything in the amateur ranks. Suzuki and Fox had him under their wing very early on. Everyone in moto in the 90’s knew he was going to be something special, we just had no idea how special he would be.

I love that he’s from Maryland too. I saw their Nitro Circus show a few years back live, and it’s amazing

[@Myrzghe]

Honest question, is rally actually new in the US?

[@editboy23]

Travis and Jim York came to the UNOH campus (college that teaches High Performance Motorsports). They were both class acts all the way. He talked with the students, drifted around the school's skid pad and raced at Limaland that night. Super friendly and very cool.

Wish you would have included him rolling the Subaru 8 times. You showed the incar view just before it... Overall excellent content dude!

[@Dylon_Canadian]

It was Brian Deegan who landed the first 360 not Travis

[@p.t.3726]

With Ken gone, we should protect Travis at all cost!

Happy to get a photo with Travis in 2006 at Anaheim SX RD# 1 as he was in the pits talking to fans. A very special moment to meet such a legend. Also have a nice big framed pic in my garage of him. Well done Travis !!

Love these videos. How about one on Dave Mirra?
