Before Sunday's X Games Freestyle Moto X finals, Travis Pastrana said Nate Adams is the best Freestyle rider in the world. Asked the same question, Nate Adams said that title belongs to Travis Pastrana. Modest or not, both riders knew the final would come down to a head-to-head battle between them.
With a concussion, black eye, tweaked wrist, broken toe and badly scraped cheek, Pastrana gutted out two runs. But with no 360 and no double backflip, Travis could not put together a run that could put him ahead of Adams. For the first time in his X Games career, Pastrana didn't win the Freestyle gold.

Live at the X-Games: Rally Racing Does Hollywood
Dear Hollywood: Teenagers love living on the edge. They worship wild skateboarders and insane Moto X riders. It's no wonder the X Games have become so popular. You've heard of Colin McRae? Sony has this really neat race game named after him so he's a big hit with kids, though many of them think he's a fictitious character. But auto racing enthusiasts know he's one of the world's greatest race drivers.

About Travis Pastrana
In the cool guy sport of freestyle motocross where most of the top dogs boast strippers for girlfriends and more ink than a skid row thug, 22-year-old Travis Pastrana, is an anomaly. Clean cut as the day he made his debut on the scene when he was 15-years-old and won his first X Games gold, Pastrana is the unapologetic good boy in a sport filled with bad ass partiers who make a living off of selling the white trash image of moto. But Pastrana could care less about all of that.
Pastrana Double BackFlip
History was made this past August 3rd-6th, in Los Angeles, at the Summer X-Games. Twenty-two-year-old Travis Pastrana performed a double backflip on his motorcycle.
Travis resides in Annapolis, Maryland and has been competing for nineteen years. At the age of three, he became a Pro Racer participant. In 1998, he began competing in X-Games competitions.

America Rally without Travis Pastrana
As the third season of the United States Rally Championship goes into the “home stretch,” there is serious competition for the trophies, and an East-vs.-West battle may be in the offing.
This year, for the first time, the organizers of the championship have divided the country into two geographic areas, Atlantic and Pacific. Competitors score points in their own half of the U.S., with many competitors from both sides entering the final round. Six leading teams from the Atlantic region will each receive a $2,000 travel subsidy to contest the last rally, the Laughlin International Rally in Laughlin, Nevada, November 9-11. This system should reduce the travel costs to competitors, eliminating or limiting the need to travel back and forth across the country in order to enter enough events to contest a national series.

Rally of Travis
Less than 24 hours after making freestyle moto history with a double backflip, Travis Pastrana and co-driver Christian Edstrom won the debut X Games Rally Car Racing event. But rally legend Colin McCrae did his best to steal Pastrana's thunder on the final turn of the final at The Home Depot Center.
McCrae, who entered Saturday's "Super Special" ahead of Pastrana by 0.5 seconds overall, appeared to be headed for the gold as he re-entered the stadium for the final push to the finish line.
