Travis Pastrana = hardcore or stupid?

[CHEMIKER]

His latest attempt at Best Trick at the X Games. I like watching the guy, but he's got a screw loose. You have to have no concept of mortality I guess to do that kind of stuff. Reminds me of Mat Hoffman, just doesn't know when to quit.

He might have a screw loose, in his head, ankle, leg, hip shoulder, or elbow. Take your pick!

HA, true. I saw a video once where he had to have a pin removed from his collarbone because he fell so hard he bent it (or broke it, I don't remember).

EDIT, sorry it was only a plate, and it was broken

Hardcore.

Crazy too.

Matt Hoffmann - read his autobiography - amazing read.

Saw Travis at the Nitro Circus in Perth - hardcore AND crazy :rof:

Is he a few sandwiches short of a picnic ?? Yes But they have to believe they are immortal to do what they do , either that or they are just plain old supid but man are they fun to watch :thumbup:

No question that he's absolutely nuts, but he IS talented too and fun to watch.
If he ever makes it to old age (which unfortunately I doubt), he'll be in a heck of a lot of pain.

He sure does some crazy stuff. I think he is both hardcore and stupid. He also is very rich doing the stuff he loves.

Hardcore. You have to be hardcore to be able to toss around a dirt bike as if it were a 5lb BMX bike.

He puts to much time, effort and energy into perfecting his tricks to have a screw loose

 

[CHEMIKER]

Excellent point Nelly. I hadn't thought about it that way.

 

[Kazza]

Why do people keep saying he's stupid?...

+1.

He's good, and it works. I wish I had a quarter of his sponsorships... $$$$
