Travis Pastrana CHEATING DEATH

Travis Pastrana is arguably the most extreme motorcycle rider on earth.

In 2006 he became the first rider ever to pull off a double backflip, and in 2018 he successfully completed not one, but three, of Evel Knievel’s most famous jumps – in one night – and he fills stadiums all over the world with his Nitro Circus freestyle show (which has also spawned two hugely successful Nitro Circus movies).
