The thing is that Travis Pastrana is an extremely skilled racer also. He did not have the same skill set that Jeremy Mc Grath or Ricky Carmichael or other guys like that but he was definitely a top 5 runner at MX. He would crash very hard and he has had many many concussions leading to the America Motorcycle Association pulling his Pro license. As a Red Bull athlete he gets to do many different competitions in cars and on bikes. If you want to see a test of skill ,speed and endurance,maybe the toughest there is on a bike, check out the enduro at erzberg.
