This is one of those things that if it wasn't on film, nobody would believe it. "Yeah ok so you flew up 70 feet in the air, flying straight into the woods, then kicked off a tree to just barely land on the corner of an airbag and saved your life. Yeah OK sure."

Jumping was never a problem for me, used to have freestyle kickers in my back yard and a big track but the flips and the stuff pastrana does is crazy and even they know it. Only thing I could or even would want to do to hang with them is the pit bike races

[@chubbs7872]

Yeah man, because if the bike is 8 feet or whatever in the air, your eyes at the top of your body and are like 5-6 feet higher than the bike. So in that example your viewpoint is almost double the height of the jump itself.

My biggest example of that wasn't on my dirt bike, but rather when I had a railroad tie smash my head against a stack of patio pavers. "Oh crap, he dropped his end" "I'm gonna fall on that stack of bricks" "man, I'm definitely going to crack my head open again" *yep* I was weirdly calm at that point since I had already accepted it before I hit the bricks "Oh I didn't get to see my blood last time I should look" *2 foot diameter puddle of blood on asphalt* "ow" Vocally: "I'm good!" My dad: "no you're not you're bleeding" "I know." 5 staples, 4 mattress sutures and there was one layer of skin left before my skull.

[@sarcasm-83]

I once came really, REALLY close to landing a motocross jump so far on the front wheel, that it must've been a matter of inches whether it tips over so that I face slam the ground, or that I land on all wheels and that memory really does seem like several minutes of leaning back, pressing on the gas and just wishing I'll not go over.. and regretting that I didn't let go of the bike when there was a chance. The back wheel must've hit a bump when I got off the ground which made the bike just sloowly start rotating forward despite my efforts to correct. But didn't go over. Idk if I'd be in a damn wheelchair if it had. I guess we'll never know and glad I didn't have to find out. One of the most terrifying moments I've had for sure. Edit: Some spills I've had though feel like they happened in a split second though.. no reaction time at all. At least one where I lost grip in the back wheel in a corner, got a good powerslide going and all felt like it was going fine until I must've over-extended the "drift" and the bike just decided to get 100% traction and it just stopped and slammed me "over" and to the ground along with the bike. Felt like hitting a damn wall and feels like it was instant. Before I even knew it, I was surrounded by a cloud of sand and everything hurt, no air in my lungs and when people came over all I could mutter was a forced "Don't touch me". In that one, I hit my three fingers so hard to the front brake lever that it snapped. Good times!

Cool stuff and sweet video.

[@tomwhidden8694]

Do You Think Clever Trevor Crashed His New Plane On Purpose???

[@SoilentGr33n]

His description of how your brain kicks into gear is spot on. Your mind gets insanely sharp in those moments. It takes 5 minutes to explain a thought process that happens in milliseconds on the spot. I don't dirt bike but I do skate and mountain bike. I took a jump when I was a kid that had a low branch above it. Nothing too big or crazy but definitely air time. We had been hitting it all afternoon at increasing speeds and getting comfortable/dumb. We were going underneath the branch and it wasn't exactly "safe" but we weren't too worried either. That particular time I went way too fast and before I even took the jump I realized I was gonna get clothes-lined in mid-air like an idiot so I actually made the call to turn INTO the thickest part of the branch as I was jumping, basically committed to not even TRY to land on the bike. I ditched the bike in mid-air to my left and went straight for the branch like a monkey. I never hugged anything so tightly in my life but it held, and it was probably a 7 foot drop back down from that branch so nothing too crazy for a 12 year old. I could hear my bike getting owned by nature further down the trail and my buddies were freaking out. It made perfect sense in my head and I got lucky it worked out, but if you've been in a crash or something like this before you hear this guy's story and it's like YES that's it!

[@Nalbone69]

I've been in that "zone" during a crash too many times to count, but each time thereafter I'm always amazed at how time SEEMS to slow down, but in reality your brain is firing at such incredible speeds to aid you with the ability to asses your potential moves to come out of the situation relatively unscathed. Unless you've experienced it, you cannot truly understand just how incredible our brains actually are.

That split second before the lip of the jump, when you're so hyper-focused on what you're doing... knowing theres no turning back at this point... that feeling is a drug!!!

The word awesome in the dictionary is described as a situation that leaves you in awe and wonder, and that was awesome. The tree kick and the detailed explanation, how the slow Mo effect works, if it’s never happened to you you will never comprehend it. Imagine the things we could accomplish if it was by command. The very few times it has happened to me, has gotten me out of accidents but the funniest thing is that this awesome zone has more often saved me because I was doing something others would consider stupid. But, one of the reasons for doing it, In the words of Chris Cagle; Chicks dig it. The true thing was the way your friends supported you for nailing your landing. 👍

[@Brandon-ch2ot]

This dude hit that crazy jump so hard he admitted to being able to temporarily see into the future lmaoo

[@kmetmosnja6341]

It kind of happens, not seeing in future for real but your mind giving you foreseeable outcomes in like 10 miliseconds and then you choose outcome in the instant and then you "lett it" happen (you just make peace with your toughts do a subtile movements and hope it plays out in your favor because what has been done is done) and then smash. I was accelerating car in the corner (not a great spead just took off few moments earlier ) got to the wet spot on bald tires and soon as i lost traction when turning i literally was choosing where to hit (light pole, a concrete wall or fence or try to get it stuck in between any of two out of 3 mentioned) all instantly maybe 7m from it. Adrenaline hits so hard brain slowmoes timespace and you're there on peak processing power resolving whatever the hack your life depends on.

First off thank you Trevor for making these videos, you’re such a rad dude for sharing this with us all for entertainment and most importantly the life lesson anyone can gain from listening to ones stories. Your so inspiring, Brother🤘🏼🙏🏼💯 So inspiring I wanted to share one of mine. I rode motocross in socal for fun and at tracks for 15 years... I had a similar experience when I scorpioned going 75 mph over a dry lake bed and hit a bump as I was riding one handed on my stock dual sport wr250x(kitted out with 4”tall dirt knobbie tires, on the stock supermoto 17”rims)... we were doing a 120 mile loop from Baker to Barstow, my buddie Roy and I...April 11th 2010... anyways, so I hit the 1-2’ bump on the flat lakebed... I catapulted 70 feet forward but time slowed down & in a millisecond I thought of my 3 options to not get mangled... I had seen the bump at the last possible second to think toreach down with the other hand and push the eject button aka get ready to be launched... the other 2 options were 1. Click down a gear and launch/jump it? Nope not on a stock wr250... 2. Soak it up with the suspension? Nope not w the stock set up... so grab the bars amd get ready for launch was what was going to happen...In the air I was planning on doing a tuck and roll and hopefully tumble to somewhat a safe crash... I was going way to fast amd by the time I saw my odometer I slowed down to 65mph... right as i went to somersault my moto helmet visor and forehead area of the helmet caught the fresh dry lake bed and my butt and ankles hyperextended and smacked me in the back of the head... I folded like an extremely creased piece of paper per my buddies description of what he saw riding 50-100ft behind me... long story kinda short, I shattered my t12 into 3 separate pieces, severed my spinal cord membrane 100% and my raw unprotected spinal cord was compressed 40% almost severing it 100%... by so many blessings that day I made a full recovery AND ZERO PARALYSIS. Moral of the story... don’t haul the mail on uncharted areas whether it’s on a dirtbike in the desert or the freeway or your car on the highway... you never know when there might be that bump. ✌🏼🙏🏼💯🤘🏼

The description of the mindset when u crash is crazy. It's just a crazy experience.

[@400_billion_suns]

Shoulda brought your parachute

[@aceofspades7360]

Man that story is awesome, it was so much fun and excitement hearing it! Glad you kicked that tree🙈

[@chippchipp1]

This video should've been 3 minutes long.

[@valensinclair6750]

This MFer just loves to listen/see himself talk. Narcissist through and through.

[@bluebaronusa]

What about ad revenue tho

[@flip66five]

You think its all for the camera but when Travis says "you're alive!" I bet he really means it... that was wild...

[@billklacks9908]

Coulda told that story in 2 min.

[@mikayla_collie]

HOLY SHIT!!!! i've seen this clip *_DOZENS_* of times, and never realized that he *_KICKED THE FRUCKING TREE_* to hit the bag... If you didn't kick off the tree it looks like you would hit EVEN CLOSER to the edge. that was insane!!!! O_O glad you made it out of from that one! much love!

[@supcom1993]

Federal prison for intentionally crashing a plane should give you some directions.

[@MrChriskep1]

OMG the play off of the tree....SUPERMAN!

[@lynyrdarena3131]

You have my personality I love that i found you

[@backyardbuilttrucks1]

He is so right , when these things happen things do slow down for just a moment and it is like you step out of what's happening for that split second to make a decision .

[@darksoul479]

Your mind doesn't slow down, it speeds up.

[@braun1017]

Agreed, it’s amazing how much info is filtered out without adrenaline. Time appears slow in those situations because you are able to process every bit of information coming in at lightning speed. You experience the WHOLE moment.

[@CadillacZachOffical]

Glad you made it, awesome story... But I have to ask... How bad was the bike?!?!?

[@theinternetseekers2436]

"Things happen so quick. I have flipped dirt bikes hundreds of times, and this time, I intentionally bailed to be funny and land on my butt" is this the one where you bailed on purpose? or was that another video?

[@Johndonricardo]

that tap of your toes against the tree branch most likely saved your life. what a dope story and video!

[@carldykstra6801]

How many times does this guy say the word like??

[@QuinctiliusVarus]

Like..a whole bunch.

[@berniebockjunior1960]

How’d the bike make out tho?

[@quickloris]

I got bored after hearing Travis' name 10 times. What happened? Plane fall out of the sky?

[@hasederheiligeninseln8919]

He faked an engine failure and parachuted out of his plane for clicks

[@rollin_stxned7225]

Glad ur ok! But how’s the bike?

[@kaikohl973]

This is so gnarly dude

[@brucemccomas7554]

Insane, a 60ft high mid-air passing tree kick to land on the bag, & the fact that you know you had some help, even better.

[@zach9373]

No one really wants to know the back story… or how it happened..

[@Will_b83]

That’s why I tell every rider…you always wear a parachute while motocross riding.

[@luken7092]

That was Trevor Jacob. The same guy who crashed his plane for views

[@glorb_land]

duh this is channel
