Travis Pastrana Quotations

I was kind of hurt for most of the year but this was the best X Games ever for me,

Without those two, we would not have learned half as fast as we did. They both helped us in learning all the intricacies of the notes and how to make the best notes for many different conditions. And, now that we know the notes inside and out, it should make us even better drivers.

I'm making a real effort to avoid any risks at this rally, we have the Rally America National Championship to worry about, so winning takes a backseat to gaining experience and points. It is hard to restrain myself from pushing but I'm doing it, and we have had a totally clean run thus far.

I always expected to be working construction with my family, so every day I get to travel the world and have fun with my friends is a bonus. I really enjoy pushing myself and so does my wife.

X Games, it's an event but it's still ... it's a show. I try to put on the best show possible, ... I'm thrilled. This is awesome.

When you're good enough in your sport, you have the option to choose your sponsors. Sometimes you pass up a lot of money to support the people you like and the products you want to use but in the end it's worth it!

Unfortunately I think the Internet knows more about me than I do. I usually look it up to see what I'm going to be doing that next week.

I don’t remember most of the injuries, there have been too many.

I really enjoy being home because that's where family is. No matter where you're from, it's hard to beat home.

Some of my best friends are tattooed from head to toe. Some would never think of it. Some are rocking a mullet and a moustache and others are clean cut. It's funny that you don't need to speak the same language or look like someone to fit in.

Nothing's about taking risks as much as doing stuff that other people haven't done before. Just like in racing, it's not about taking risks but trying to figure out how to be faster.

Every day I push myself to redefine the limits of our sport

I'm just competitive. Everybody always says, 'You've gotta be crazy to do what you do.' It's not really true. Everything I do is always about trying to out-do your friends. Trying to one-up, be a little faster, a little better, jump a little further.

Everyone has a completely different style of riding and a different style of judging.

All you do in a [stunt] video game, you can do in real life. If you have a passion, don't be too lazy to do it. I hope kids are inspired to go out and do what they really want to do.

Other people don't know what you've gone through. And everybody has a story that you probably don't know.

With motocross I've found that passion becomes your identity and that identity breaks all barriers.

Everyone that works behind a desk wants to know how many bones I've broken and how much money I make. It seems that people who've never experienced the excitement of sport seem to think the only thing worth taking risks for is money.

Somewhere in the fear and chaos, there is a clarity that few will ever experience.

In life, you're along for the ride either way. You might as well make it fun!

My strengths and weaknesses are the same: I've got the willingness and stupidity to try anything. If I think it's even remotely possible, I'll do it.

There's no such thing as boundaries only limits that get pushed further and further.
