Unless you live in a cave, you have seen Travis Pastrana and his Nitro Circus television show. Every time I watch it I sit in amazement wondering how the human body can take such a beating and keep on going! I feel truly sorry for Travis and the pains his body will have to endure in the future. Aside from all of the incredible stunts these folks pull off, one of the crew members happens to be a chick. Not just any chick, Jolene Van Vugt isn't one to just sit around while the boys go big, she goes big with them! I was lucky enough to meet up with her to shoot some photos out at Milestone MX Park in Riverside, CA.

Jolene has got to be one of the most down to earth, nice girls I have ever met. I can see why the guys love having her on the show. She said she could not believe that she went from an aspiring WMA professional to the show so quickly. She still wants to try and race a few of the WMA events, but she went on to say that they just signed on for a second season (big surprise that is!) and during the months of filming there is absolutely zero time for anything else.

Of course I had to ask her what it is like to work with Travis on a daily basis, and she had the same answer that most people have when they speak of TP, "he is just so genuine and happy about everything." She is so grateful for the opportunity that he has given her, and he is really such a good person to everybody. Let's see how grateful she is after a few more concussions and broken body parts though! No, Travis would never put somebody in a position that could allow bodily harm, would he? I am sure he wouldn't do it on purpose anyway!

Keep your eye out for the show and check out Jolene and her antics with the guys. If you have anything you would like to tell her feel free to post it up here and I'll make sure she gets it.

Clint, Jolene is H O T !!! Be creative. If you really want to know what she looks like, you'll find her. Besides her good looks, Jolene is FAST on a MX track. I'm not really a fan of the Nitro Circus (Mark my words, someone WILL be SERIOUSLY injured - if not worse...). PS: Jolene's Canadian, so that's all good too!!!

I have a question: What drives you to be so crazy and keep up with the those guys? There are barely any guys, let alone girls that have the skill (and stupidity) to hang with the nitro circus crew.
