    Anyone who likes FMX or motocross, should see this movie. I saw most of this movie the other night. It's ridiculous. I never knew just how really close this kid has come to killing himself. How about that line from his dad at the end of the trailer? Kind of crazy, that everyone is just expecting it to happen anytime.

    This kid no doubt took it to the limit. Nobody was going to get in his way it was as if it was inevidable.

    In 1998 I was in Las Vegas for the Ski and Snowboard trade association buyers show. I got an invite through my Black Fly's rep to attend the ESPN Freestyle Motocross Championship followed by a Club Rubber Party with VIP. I was amazed at what I saw and the show was stolen by a 14 year old kid that rode circles around the competition. His name was Travis Pastrana;) When I got home I told a few buddies about the kid and they laughed at me, that was until it was shown on ESPN and then they almost crapped themselves. Sad thing is that his winning performance that night was a joke compared to what these guys do today. I have followed his career on and off over the years and he never ceases to amaze me, the kid is nuts.
