"most people go through life trying not to die, I go through my life making sure that I live" -Travis Pastrana

Bird Plan best quote ever

@alexosko1487 5 жыл бұрын

B 1 If that’s what you truly love doing then yes it is necessary to risk your life to truly live.. Why be afraid to die? All it does is hold you back an not allow you to truly get the most of this life

@ZakEdwardsOfficial 5 жыл бұрын

you must be young to put stock into that quote. The fact that he's a father & still feels that way & or says it..makes it clear he does not have ability to make sound decisions. Absolutely a self destructive & irresponsible quote. Kids watch this Travis. Do what you want, but don't put shit out there like that for teens to hear.

You know, one of the biggest things that I love about Travis is that he realizes that what he does is not a normal lifestyle for the average American. He realizes that if he wasn’t as talented as he is then he’d probably be working in construction with the rest of his family. He understands that the lifestyle he lives is a complete fantasy for 95 percent of people. A lot of the problem this country has is celebrities and athletes not realizing how gifted and blessed they are and that not everyone can make millions of dollars by just throwing a football, or memorizing lines on a script, or playing the guitar. It’s only about 2 percent of the people in this country who even have a shot at having that kind of life.

I rode dirt bikes for fun but had a friend who along with his family put everything into building him a career. While out joy riding and not even pushing it a bike in front of him kick up a rock that hit his knee and it basically exploded. Ended his short career and 25 yrs later he still limps.

I faced a jump once where I thought I broke both my wrists but fortunately did not. It took me 8 years before they felt normal again. I can’t even imagine how painful his later years are going to be. In retrospect, most people die never even having lived any life or taking any risks. I. Think Travis is making up for all of them. Talk about an overachiever.
