At the age of 28, Travis Pastrana is nothing less than a living legend. The American doesn’t mind a challenge or two: Motor cross, stunts, rally, NASCAR… At the X-Games, the annual festival of extreme sports, he tops the charts with eleven gold medals.
Last weekend things went wrong. Attempting a unique triple backflip on his bike, Pastrana crashed and broke his right leg. Game over for most normal people, but Travis isn’t quite your average bloke. The very next day he showed up and contested the rallycross event. His team quickly installed hand controls and on one leg Pastrana fought his way into the finals and got close to getting a medal. A legend, indeed.
