Travis Pastrana

“Very few people are great at a single sport.”

“I don't think there is anything more fun than driving a rally car, but I made it to the top. I needed something new.”

“People like to see a good crash, but they like to see that person get back up... and land it.”

“Nothing's about taking risks as much as doing stuff that other people haven't done before.”

“Well, as a racer, you always believe you can win - and when you don't, it's a failure.”

“In life, the risk-to-reward is constantly changing. It changes when you're 16 years old, trying to make a name for yourself. It changes when you get married. It changes when you have kids.”

“In the 10 years I've been involved in freestyle, I've obviously had a lot of fun. The competitions are a blast, and I look forward to them all year.”

“For my friends and I, we all wanted to be action sports stars. Luckily for us, we somehow missed the real world reality that sets in for most teenagers.”

“In rally, you come over a hill, full-lock drift, between a gate. You've got a 100-foot cliff on one side, you might have trees on the other, you might have busted out lights and you gotta figure out how to make that work. Could be snowing, could be raining, could be mud, could be pavement - you might have them all the same day.”

“I've had six surgeries on my left knee alone.”

“When the 2006 freestyle season started, my focus had shifted to rally racing. It was my second season driving rally cars, and I was determined to win the title. Unfortunately, that meant freestyle was getting even less of my attention.”

“Red Bull has been just awesome every year in kind of letting their athletes pick some stuff they want to do and make the impossible possible.”

“My job is to help people who are pushing to be the best possible.”

“I think that my strengths are driving when everything's a little out of control.”

“One of the most difficult parts of recovery for me is achieving restful sleep.”

“Formula One isn't for me. You have to be meticulous and perfect every time.”

“I love my 1980s hair bands.”

“I take more chances than most people because I believe they will work.”

“The best way to end up a millionaire is to start with two and go racing.”

“I've never killed an animal, no.”
