Travis Pastrana

With X Games only 4 weeks away, Travis will be returning to the bike this year and competing in MotoX Best Trick. Of course Kyle Loza will be there to debut his trick and perhaps Greg Hartman will also appear. Thomas Pages will of course attempt to throw his Front Flip, last attempted at X by Travis’ best friend, Jim DeChamp.

The latest news about Travis’ X Games says he will compete in the competition and try to win it! He has hired Frank Bare, an Olympic aerialist coach. What does this mean? Perhaps a body varial of some sort or, since Kyle Loza will probably have that covered, maybe the bike variel from Travis and the Nitro Circus 3. After all, Travis has been trying to do the Volt since 2001, maybe he can see himself landing the bike varial.

Here are some shots of Travis back in 2005, in preparation for X Games 11 Best Trick.
