It’s Travis Pastrana, what did you expect? The all-action American hero wanted to explain his absence from this week’s Olympus Rally. What came was never going to be normal. There’s nothing normal about #199.
The guy is the closest thing to a living, breathing Superman I’ve ever seen. Which made seeing him on the first two rounds of this year’s ARA just that bit harder.
Pastrana is one of the untouchables. He doesn’t so much walk on water, as turn somersaults while levitating just above the surface. It’s who he is. Or maybe, in his words, it’s who he was before ‘Father Time’ caught up with him. Following the finish of Sno*Drift in February, midnight was closing in in Michigan and the temperature was tumbling. But still Travis stood, signed, smiled and cranked out another selfie. Eventually, however, he had to take a seat. But still the folk, the fans, they just kept on coming. And coming.
