Travis Pastrana is a bonafide action sports legend, a Freestyle MX pioneer, a fearless stuntman
a godlike motorsports icon and one radical dude.
For more than 3 decades, Travis Pastrana's body of work has been a huge catalog of chaos filled with unexplainable feats of human achievement, death-defying spectacles, superhuman levels of pain tolerance, and more holy sh#t moments than any athlete in history.
But above all, Travis Pastrana is a miracle, and sometimes it is hard to believe someone like this even exists. So, in this video, we will look at the outrageous and often unexplainable career of Travis Pastrana.
There is a saying that " The happiness we seek is not in the absence of chaos; happiness is finding refuge in it. No other quad could drop you in the center of chaos and allow you to see what you were made of, like the Yamaha Banshee. A machine that could reach speeds of nearly 100 mph and deliver an experience like no other.
In this video, we will look back at the Yamaha Banshee and its impact on the off-road world and why Yamaha was forced to stop making this beast.
Without question, Ricky Carmichael is the greatest motocross racer that ever lived. In today's video, we look back at his lofty records and how he won against some of the greatest riders of all time, like James Stewart, Chad Reed, and Jeremy Mcgrath.
We will also look at how his training regimen revolutionized the sport of motocross and set the standard for today's riders.
No other motorcycle impacted the sport of motocross like the Honda Elsinore. A bike that was built at the right moment in time and was so good it contributed to the demise of European motorcycles like CZ Husqvarna, Bultaco, and Maico. But the most interesting thing about the Elsinore was it was never supposed to be built, yet in less than 2 years after its inception, it changed the entire sport of motocross.
Back in the early 80s, it was the age of the "power quad ". Fire breathing big bore two-stroke quads that could reach speeds of 80+MPH and leave scars along the earth's terrain. In those days, no machine was more vicious and revered than the Suzuki LT 500 Quaracer, better known as Quadzilla. It was a machine that was both deadly and liberating, so violent it could not be built today.
So, in this video, we will look at the unreal history of the Suzuki Quadracer and answer the question, " Was it really that deadly"?
Without question the coolest motorcycle brand of all time was Hodaka. With bike names like the Suoer Rat, Dirt Squirt, Combat Wombat, and Thunderdog they captured the attention of every aspiring dirt biker in America. Hodaka was formed under unique circumstances between an Oregon marketing company and a Japanese engine builder but together they would build a series of dirtbikes that would outsell the likes of Honda Yamaha Kawasaki and Suzuki. However a few mistakes led to the abrupt implosion of the company, This is the story of Hodaka motorcycles
This is a repost of the popular Valentino Rossi mini-documentary, which was taken down a few months back. At the time, I was like that blows, but that's how it goes. Things happen. Anyway, I was shocked at how many people contacted me and still do about how much they enjoyed the video, so I decided to redo it. The script has remained close to the original, but obviously, I had to remove a few chunks of video content.
Because of this, there are a few spots where my commentary doesn't match the video, and while that sucks and I did the best job I could, it's either that or no video at all. That being said, I think this is a better overall video than the original because I got the chance to correct my mistakes and use the feedback you gave me in the comment section to improve it. So enjoy the video, and let me know your thoughts.
NEW: It's been said that if it wasn't for bad luck we would have no luck at all. When it comes to motorcycling it's hard to find a brand more cursed than Bultaco. A brand that stood on top of a sport in a dominant fashion only to be betrayed by family, squeezed out by their own government, then have their employees revolt against them causing them to be exiled from the company. It is a story that is both sad and twisted.
Perhaps no motorcycle has been more pivotal to a brand than the Ducati 916. A bike that save a company and made its designer Massimo Tamburini a legend. This is the story of how Massimo Tamburni drew inspiration from Honda and the shape of a woman's body to create an unmistakable masterpiece.
