I was wondering, what r your views on this kid? My opinion is that hes obviously kick ass at freestyle, but he could be alot better at MX or SX if he tried. Good guy tho it seems. His movie revelation 199 is sweet. He was doin 200+ foot gaps wen he was 12 so i figure thats worth some recognition.

How could you NOT like Travis?

He's living all of our dreams.

It's too bad he's living so many nightmares (injuries) along with it.


My theory on sports: If there's no chance of being killed, it's only a game

Yeah hes gotten the crap kicked out of him from injuries at a young age. Hopefully it doesnt bring him in to early retirement.

Travis is one of the most talented people ever to throw a leg over a motorcycle, I have utmost respect for him.

However, at the same time he's one of the most injured people ever to throw a leg over a motorcycle as well.

Travis is a great overall rider. It's pretty amasing what he's doing. He became pro when he was 14, or am I wrong?

Hope to see alot more TP in 2005! And less injuries from his side.

As you would say if you were living in Sweden. "Han är fett grym"
Translated to poor english, he is a kickass rider.

Yeah, I really admire the guy.... I was watching an interview with him, and they showed a video where his mom filmed him at a motocross race and rather than trying to win, he was leading the back end, doing tricks and stuff instead. He said all that mattered was that he was having fun.

yea, hes a wierd guy, but he rides cause its fun,

racing bores him a tad, on chapter 2, he said that when hes pounding out laps practiceing and sometimes racing, he sings corny songs (cant remember what it was)

and doing a backflip is much less boring,

Yea in a few of my motocross magazines, it asks what the riders think or do while they race and Travis said he sings songs and so does Davi Millsap. I totally respect Travis as a rider! He has done what I dream and what can you do? If someone were to hate him because he could do all the stuff he does and they couldn't, well they need to get straightened out and if there that uptight about it, practice more. He is very outgoing, and he is very funny! He can do the classical thumbs-up and its still cool! He rocks no doubt about it! And Joe, awesome! Have a good time and take advantage of it, k.
