I just got my knee replacement. Wish I could have taken this to a landing but I hope you all enjoy my final send on a trick that I’ve been wanting to try since the day I watched a video of Kai Haase blew my mind with the nose bonk front flip at Masters of dirt.
That looked sick on the KTM! Hope to see some more of you and the team putting the electric stuff to use too! Enjoy your rest during recovery man, and the family time while you're all here to be together. Thanks for being our hero, and cheers!
Travis I'm 31 and have been watching you since you were racing Supercross on 125s. You've been a hero to me since, and have been one of the very few people I've ever looked up to. Thank you so much for being you and giving action sports so much. I'll never forget a quote you said many years ago, and have lived my whole life based on it... "I would rather try and fail, than say I never tried at all." -Travis Pastrana
And rebuilt even better. The man separated his spine from his pelvis and took a few moths off and was back at it. Everyone else who has had that injury with the expiation of 2 or 3 Travis included have died or now live live from a chair! So do I think a new knee will slow him down?... Not but a month or two tops. I had my hip replaced at 46 and it was new lease on life. I wish him the same.
Wrote a letter to you Travis when I was in 7th grade. You wrote back and autographed a poster that I still have today. So happy to see all that you have accomplished over the years. I now get the honor of caring for folks who need knee replacements. Hopefully yours went well and a smooth and speedy recovery to you!
The man has brought wide eyed jaw dropping entertainment to the world for decades. If he's not the sickest cnt that's ever lived then I don't know who is....🤘
I literally haven't seen anything he's done for 20 years, cos I only got random stuff in the UK via Transworld Sports and occasional XGames footage. Now I come across this random video of him doing this with a broken hand. Dirt cross riders are truly built different.
@@Meekerextreme Some of these people in the comments act like hes some kind of deity...I swear most would blow the guy if it got him to look their way..Like a bunch of 14yo little girls at a Beatles concert
Can't believe we're all this old... I remember when this dude rode his first X Games. I'm 42 and this dude had to earn every bit of respect he has today. Travis is the GOAT!!!
I’ve got an old vhs-c video I shot of my first ever visit to Woodward Camp in PA and Travis was there at like 16 on a bmx bike. Didn’t know who he was until I recently rewatched it in 2022.
I know right, where did the time go ? I met Travis at the Dallas supercross back in ‘93 I think ? Got a picture with him and his autograph. He was so nice, and humble, very approachable.. it’s truly amazing what he can do on a dirt bike. I remember when he separated his spine from his pelvis, I still can’t believe he managed to come back from that injury and do so much more after that.
Dude I cried watching this. From watching you as a kid doing the double backflip at the X Games to being able to work on set with you for the HOONIGAN Gymkhana 2020 in our hometown of Annapolis. You have always been my hero growing up and an inspiration to so many. Making us Maryland boys proud!
and I almost cried reading you comment because of how true it is haha. I think largely because of how wonderful Travis has been the entire way as a good person. We couldn't be more happy or more proud of someone because really Travis is just as amazing off of the dirt bike as he is on it.
Most biggest surprise for me is that Travis is still alive and make it so long, there was some crazy folks around and didn't make it but was not even close to this guy. A true legend, showing to others that nothing is impossible
I honestly didn't realize I had such an emotional attachment to Travis until watching this. When he said he was just gonna go sit and reflect it really hit me. I've spent probably close to two decades watching his antics in complete awe and to get to see him call his last shot (so-to-say) just really hit me hard. Best of luck
Damn. We're getting old. Saw Nick Saban, Pete Carroll and Billy B retired as well. Insane watching Travis do backflips, seemingly effortlessly.. when I was younger, no one was doing them
This is why Travis will always be the greatest to my generation. There will never be another 199. Thank you Travis for everything and always pushing the envelope. You made my childhood awesome.
One of a Kind Legend . The things you've accomplished in your career is astonishing and the amount of abuse you put your body through to do it 100% respect
I’m not a bike guy. But I definitely in awe of everything I’ve ever seen Travis do.. and meeting him at LAX, the guy spoke to me like he knew me for years. Talent gets you so far.. but attitude and humility get you the rest of the way to immortality..
I am a bike guy. Raced competitively from 2004-2012. I was at Daytona when he back flipped during the heat race and got in trouble with the AMA. Started watching him when I was a kid during the Kenny Bartram, Metal Mulisha, Seth Enslow era when he was a kid/teenager too. Kept up with his career until now, and it seems like the credits are rolling. There will never be another 199.
Far out dude.. you're making me tear up. Thank you Travis for all the Gnarliest,wild, crazy and incredible things you've done.. not only what you've done to action sports.. but the rad humble guy you are through-out it all and the help you've provided to everyone around the world. G.O.A.T
40 and still hasn't changed a bit Travis you were a legend from the first time I watched you till I watched you pull off this stunt which was unbelievable just like the first double back flip. We have been truly blessed to watch your career.
Travis, hands down, you are one of the greatest of all times. From the moment you own Xgames in San Francisco until today, you have defied gravity and your life and body parts. Here's to your greatness. 🎉
At 38, glad I grew up in the golden era of action sports. Damn it’s nostalgic now as we all get old AF😂. Can’t believe Nate Wessel is still building stuff
Travis is already a living legend. He definitely has nothing left to prove, but he still has the fire inside, making him want to keep pushing the boundaries of what is possible. That is what has made him so great and what will help him be successful in whatever he decides to do.
buddy, you have done enough. you blew the entire culture up for everybody. you inspired sooo many careers. you did all the NBDs. im totally satisfied with your legendary contribution. from the bottom of my heart i hope you can find joy and satisfaction in the next phase of life. enjoy those new body parts.
im 33 and i been watching you my whole life, getting old sucks lol, i broke my back last year and boy do you not bounce back like when your young lol, you have balls of steel sir and you have always had the best attitude, always just wanting to have fun with the boys and bring everyone up with you, not trying to get one over on people being sneaky, just letting pure talent drive the train, my hats off to you for all you have done for this sport
Oh man wait until you are 51 lol.. I broke my back when I was 15 launching a YZ250 like a Saturn 5 rocket and it landed right on top of me and snapped me like a twig. But I went on to riding for a few more years then went to skating and became a professional at that until finally my body couldn't do it anymore. Had major back surgery in 2010 to fix what they didn't fix when I was a kid and they ended up messing me up even worse and now I'm disabled from all of it. But it was a helluva ride and lots of fun to this point. I'd do it all again in a heartbeat. But I absolutely agree with you getting old sucks! Lol
@@RosinGoblin dang brother, I hope you don't have too many more of them lined up, I'm so glad I didnt need surgery, I think I'm really lucky I'm light, at 55kg I think roughly 120lbs or something, I would have hit the truck a lot harder if I was heavier. Either way it sucks getting hurt when it's your own fault, it sucks way worse when it's because of someone else's stupidity or rushing for no reason. I tell you one thing, it made me calm my farm a whole lot in a car now too lol never taking any risks .. it's amazing how some people it can get in your head and others it seems to not affect at all. I hope it doesn't cause you too many ongoing issues brother, take care
Yep. I can confirm things take longer to heal once you've hit your 50's. The problem is the brain still thinks you're young and forgets your age until you've broken something again. 🙄 Hope you all take care and stay safe 🙏 We definitely don't bounce like we used to.
So proud of this dude he made my childhood and I’m 36, you accomplished so many people wish they could and forever you will be a legend Travis. Let’s it rip man you have NOTHING to prove you put your impact on the world and there will never be another you brother 🤟🏼
Travis is a living legend, most people would've bailed out and stayed on the sidelines at that age, dudes pride and determination is unreal. Loved watching him during the Xgames Days.
I just want to say back in Indianapolis, when your rookie year in the supercross, you stood next to me in the urinal stall beside me in the pits. After we came out you handed me a pair of your goggles and stood there talking to me for about 10 minutes. You are probably the coolest dude I have ever met. The popularity and celebrity status that you achieved throughout your career did not change you in the least bit. stay real my friend! youll always be one of my favorite racers and riders in the world. Thanks for being you
On 2 wheels or 4 no one sends it quite like Travis Pastrana! Absolute ground breaking legend! Look after yourself now TP you’ve more than earned it. I still watch your double backflip from the X games from time to time and it gives me goosebumps!
We all appreciate Travis, but I don’t think any of us can truly understand how rare of a human being he actually is. There are very very few that will ever do a quarter of what this man did. I’m glad I lived alongside my idol from birth until now. What an amazing thing that is.
There’s something to be said for knowing when it’s time to hang it up. I think there comes a time in every guys life where you have to take inventory of what really matters. Props to an amazing career man!
Absolute legend of my childhood. Thank you for doing things that continue to "push the envelope." You are unstoppable, coming from someone with a great amount of hardware in my left leg and multiple knee and shoulder surgeries and done far less than you. Keep pushing, send the set of your ideas unfinished as new ideas to the Nitro Crew
I went to a Nitro Circus show is San Jose some years ago. My buddy and I had went for a few beers before the show and we're walking back to the entrance of the Sharks stadium. As we were walking past the back gate of the stadium Travis happened to walk out and was opening the back gate for somebody. We didn't even realize it was him, but he just walked up and shook our hands and said hello and to enjoy the show. It was a completely random experience but we were super impressed at how down to earth he really was and that he'd go out of his way just to greet us. Thank you for all these years of convincing us to just go for it and cheers to some needed surgery!
Travis - thanks for taking us on this ride. I've followed you since your first X Games, and you've shown everyone what a class act you are, while elevating several sports beyond measure. No need for theatrics, just authenticity. And you never shied away from showing us the damage, but you shielded us from the pain. Laughed in the face of it, reminding us all that if you want something badly enough, you can overcome things as trivial as a broken hand (!!!!) or worse. You're my hero, there's no other word for it. But as someone only 2 years younger than yourself, I get it. It's ok to move onto other things, especially for your health and your family. Thanks for the ride of a lifetime Travis, it's been a privilege to watch you ride (and drive, and skydive and well, all of it). #199lives *cue Foo Fighters "My Hero".
I don’t typically watch stuff like this so the fact that I found it in my feed means the video went viral so congrats for that. This brings me back to my childhood in the 80s. Building ramps that we would jump on our bikes and eventually a couple of my best friends and I got motorcycles and rode around with a fairly decent dirt track nearby. Anyway, I’ve broken my wrist before and was super impressed when you shrugged it off and kept going.
You’re an absolute legend man. I’ve been watching you since I was 13 and I’m 33 now. You seem like a really decent human being. A rarity in this world. Thanks for being you Pastrana
1 word: L E G E N D You're not done yet, but even if you were you've already done more in your 40 years than most will ever do in their whole entire lives. Much respect Trav.
that first speech hate me tearing up man, thank you so much for the decades, of excitement and entertainment youve given us legend. forever the GOAT of action sports
Travis, Hey Man. Been prolly 25 years or so since we met, in Annapolis. I do recall how comfortable you were talking to a fan and about my one-time bestie, Tommy T. Since that time, you have conquered the flips and ramps you set out to complete. I'm glad to know we met. This last accomplishment was made for the Record Books. You did it and completed your life skills as an active Motorcross, Ramp Jumper and Champion biker. Thank you for all your jumps and skills as an innovator. God bless your soul and life that you will finish your life happy. Last thing I recall saying to you was, "Take it Easy." You gave me that Travis, KILLER SMILE and said, "I will." Take further care and have a nice life - - - Woody
Wessel is one of the greats from late 90s/early 2000s bmx. The one trick he did that I'll never forget is in Road Fools 7 or 8 when he gaps out of a bowl at Kona skatepark and lands on the roof of a pavilion. It looks like it's 25 feet off of the ground, i swear. Look it up if you haven't seen it. It's still so crazy all of these years later.
The 🐐 period. Thee best daredevil athlete in the 🌎..guy raced almost everything, uber talented, 0 fear. Lived a life that no one will ever live. One of the coolest things was seeing him grab a dirtbike while everyone was swimming ,went about 70 hit water made it across giant pool ,hit concrete rode wheelie out, had inches on each side between trees, and made it thru to parking lot. And jumping bike off cliff into river no practice. Just to one up everyone. Guy is insane but im here for it. I have no heros in life, but if i did he would be mine. And im older than him. Met him couple times, he just talks to you like reg guy. Never to be seen again in our lives.. enjoy your family brother, you deserve it..👍💯🐐
This is the reason why you will be remembered for eternity, theres going to be no other like you mate! Looking forward to seeing what you can produce with others in the future
Right! If someone is hating on that I wouldn't even acknowledge it because they are the type of person who is a miserable fuck just hating on everything because they hate their life. Like how can you honestly say something about doing that into a bag as if their is anyone in the solar system even trying something like this. Like let me talk shit about a guy backflipping his dirt bike to nose bonk front flip because he did it into a airbag. Talking all that shit while sitting on their couch and pulling a muscle getting up to go to the fridge and now they can't walk for a week.
Travis, you’ve been my hero since I was a little kid. I remember laying in bed watching the double backflip during xgames at 12 years old and crying I was so blown away. I got to meet you at unadilla a few years ago and I got a picture with you that I’ll cherish for the rest of my life. My addiction to powersports is all because of you and now it’s passed on to my children. You are an inspiration to millions of people and even if this is your final send, you’ll always be a household name in my family. Thank you for making my childhood great and giving me the motivation to do the same for my kids.
Being able to share motorcycling with my son has certainly been one of the most satisfying aspects of my life and it wouldn’t nearly been as good without being able to watch Travis. He pushed us both to be better riders and he always left us at awe when we were off the bikes. Thank you Travis. You’ve inspired millions.
LEGENDDD!! There are so few in the world as courageous as travis pastrana and he has done the impossible too many times to count. You're the best and every adrenaline junkie for the next 1000 years will be inspired by you
This just show how much Travis loves the sport man is a legend and has nothing left to prove and he’s still going out there trying world firsts. Then he goes and knocks it out first try with a broken hand 😂
to nate wessell, you inspired me more than anyone back on road fools with your 'do one good thing a day' mentality when you weren't even a rider but a filmer on that trip.
Thanks for all the years of inspiration, Travis. You'll always be a legendary leader shining a light on what can be made possible, no matter how much further we progress. We all stand upon the shoulders of giants like yourself.
I don't care what anyone says. Travis is the reason for FMX innovation. No one I repeat no one was doing what he was doing till he did it. I still remember still to this day being a kid sitting on the couch with my dad when he pulled the double backflip on X games best trick in his plaid shirt. LEGEND!!!!!
That’s Travis Fucking Pastrana, no fluke lol. That’s a GOAT right there. You’re witnessing a historic trick and you choose to downgrade it friend. How about you try any trick Travis has done 😂
You can fluke anything. Many pro riders have them. His name is Travis Pastrana adding swear words in the middle doesn’t make it any better or do anything. You’d be surprised what a human can do with a set up sponsors and the relevant tools! Anyone with enough time to dedicate to stunts can do this. Those who push the sport do it as their job and get to spend all their time on the bikes. Yea he’s a legend just he is also just a man having fun on a bike. With the adrenaline running and we pop off something you’d be surprised what’s gotten away with. I’ve crashed before and stayed on the bike after doing what looks like a stunt, I was just holding on. Do you know how many attempts or takes to practice these stunts? Any trick done first time is a fluke that’s just how it is. People are just too full of hype now days.
A fluke is something done first time with no practice wether spoken of or not is not the point. A fluke is an unlikely chance of occurrence, especially a surprising piece of luck, so to pull a trick like that first go with no practice is a fluke. I’m sure if I had his back ground I could pull off a lot of stunts just I don’t I don’t have a motor x cycle or a compound or the money or sponsors, see with all that he is a business and it’s how he makes money so you’d expect him to be pushing the sport and trying new things. Makes me laugh when people think a person is just not human when anyone put on a bike from a young age and is given inspiration and freedom to Will progress in the sport so much more than someone riding at the weekend. At 14 he won the World Freestyle Motocross Championship, do we even consider what it takes to do that as in team bike and such it’s not just one person riding a bike, he has been supported all his life and made a profession out of it. He even said when after he rode out of it, he said that because even he was surprised he made it… to put it short he’s an 80’s kid he don’t mind falling. Ive won bike races with a broken hand, broken collar bone, broken heal, broken fingers, surprising what we can do when just go for it have fun and send it.
This is such a testament of what Travis embodies. I am beyond speechless & inspired. You are the legend of legends, Travis! Thank you for your service!
Really hope this guy knows he has given so much to the fans through the years that he deserves to be doing exactly what he wants. He owes us nothing. Enjoy life trav we are truly grateful for everything! Also who in the world could possibly be a hater of this guy?
Unfortunately the human body has its limits, he'll get his fix doing something else but the days of extreme sends are over, a beautiful ending to an amazing journey and story
Happy retirement TP. Thank you for being this generations EK. Those of us growing up in the early 2000s and late 90s you inspired not only a generation but an entire sport.
I grew up riding and racing dirt bikes but never at the level you guys ride at. I have always looked up to you and what you have done for the sport. From racing to freestyle to just being an awesome person with a great attitude all around. You will always be a true legend, Thanks for all the awesome years of memories Travis you are the fking man!
My whole life I followed what Travis did. I remember watching the double on TV back in the day, the whole world went wild. Now this "final send" right here, I doubt it really is final. Just might be the last big thing we see him go for. Stay safe 199 and thank you so much for being rad on wheels.
It's wild that you put your body through so much and just push through for the pure love of the sport. Mad respect Trav. You are a one of a kind inspiration.
i haven't cried from both happiness and sadness as much as seeing travis do one last crazy thing and get to watch the next generation making giant stride on pit bikes after the legends lay it down on the big bikes ❤
I remember Travis jumping into the water at the X-Games how many years ago I don't wanna even think about LOL. You're a legend kid and it's been a pleasure watching you over the years!!!!!♥️💯👍😎😁♥️🇨🇦
Travis.. my brother is Mike Healey and I still to this day remember a race that you and him were in at Perris Raceway and he just come back from Europe and you were just a young stud on one of the most epic careers revert. I sincerely respect every fiber of your being. From millions of action sports afficandos thanks!
Travis, I'm 43 and have been putting off a hip replacement for a few years now due to how stubborn I've been in accepting my situation. You've got nothing to prove because I doubt anyone will ever leave the legacy in action sports that you have🤘🇺🇲
I’m 43 and had my knee replaced about five years ago. It sucks but not as bad as the trashed knee I was working with for the twelve years before that. The recovery sucks but once it heals up you will be happy you did it.
7:09 reminded me of when he was in crusty back in the day & broke his wrist on the heel clicker step down… it’s been so cool watching your whole career since I was a kid, a hero to many!
End of an era. Miss watching you in X games when I was a kid. So many exciting new tricks and actually pulling them off it was incredible. And nothing really excites me anymore. But remembering those massive stunts thinking about how crazy your ass is. Absolutely a Legend. Ken and Trav was the best childhood
Gonna have to name this thing the “Pastrana Flip!” Only fitting one of the craziest tricks you could pull be named after one of the craziest riders ever lol. Thanks Travis for all the memories growing up!
Man, Getting old sucks but watching your heroes get old sucks too. Pastrana & The Nitro Circus Team are absolute national treasures. Most of us have been watching since we were kids - & so were they!
Damn i grew up with Travis doing crazy stuff and the fact he was still doing it at 40 is crazy. He is a prime example of a true sportsman( among everything else he does). Keeps on sending it until the body(or love for family) says no. Absolute legend in everything he's ever done, and "retires" with the respect he deserves. Enjoy your Family time Travis! You have certainly earned it.
Dude it’s wild to think… I’m 38 and i remember watching you launch that bike into the bay at the x-games. Now you’re 40 getting knee replacements and still doing crazy stuff. Amazing.
Watching Travis and crew doing mini races, watching his career explode to the highest levels unimaginable is really awesome to watch, having knee problems myself with two knee surgeries I can relate on what he wants to accomplish. Travis is a legend major respect man 👍
This was so badass!! Thank you Travis and the crew for pushing the limits over the years, never thought the day would come where it would stop! No matter how unsatisfying it maybe you did everything possible and impossible. Again thank you Travis and the entirety of people who accomplished those victories!
Travis is up there with the greats from all sports. When you become a household name and stay relevant for 20years that makes you one of the G.O.A.T's through out all sports. Thank you for your dedication giving millions dreams and entertainment for years an years. 💚👏
Travis, you're a huge impression. I'm 37 years old. Also dealing with motorcycle accident and I just scheduled by knee replacement yesterday for my right knee. They're going to do it on cemented because I'm sure I'm going to need another one, but I just wanted to let you know how much of an inspiration you have bet on my life and it's nice to know I'm not the only one at this age going through it! Best of luck, healing and happy holidays!
Congrats brother... we all hit the point where we need to slow down.. What an amazing way to finish out. Wishing you and the family a great holiday season and speedy healing

"I would rather try and fail, than say I never tried at all."
-Travis Pastrana
Travis is such a fucking legend of this sport. Built completely different
And rebuilt even better. The man separated his spine from his pelvis and took a few moths off and was back at it. Everyone else who has had that injury with the expiation of 2 or 3 Travis included have died or now live live from a chair! So do I think a new knee will slow him down?... Not but a month or two tops. I had my hip replaced at 46 and it was new lease on life. I wish him the same.
The sport would not be where it is without Travis, truly a legend
He said he can barely walk and he’s my age. Certifiably crazy. I’d rather be able to run then be crippled with a bunch of money but to each their own
He is a Legend of life also! I don't ride but I can not help watch and admire.
@@DiggingDeepVlog Not sure the money has anything to do with the drive to keep pushing the limits he has for the past 25 years.
Wrote a letter to you Travis when I was in 7th grade. You wrote back and autographed a poster that I still have today. So happy to see all that you have accomplished over the years. I now get the honor of caring for folks who need knee replacements. Hopefully yours went well and a smooth and speedy recovery to you!
That's fregin awesome. He's truly a genuine, good hearted dude
The man has brought wide eyed jaw dropping entertainment to the world for decades.
If he's not the sickest cnt that's ever lived then I don't know who is....🤘
What an absolute legend. There'll never be another 199.
Nope never will be !
For over 20 years Travis made us think he wasn't human...thanks for the madness and enjoy your time with your family
I literally haven't seen anything he's done for 20 years, cos I only got random stuff in the UK via Transworld Sports and occasional XGames footage. Now I come across this random video of him doing this with a broken hand. Dirt cross riders are truly built different.

I remember his 1st backflip was a huge deal now look at him
I'm 48 and we did jump competition in a lake here. Doing a back-flip was considered to be extreme. I think it comes a long way since the 90s.
Dude I cried watching this. From watching you as a kid doing the double backflip at the X Games to being able to work on set with you for the HOONIGAN Gymkhana 2020 in our hometown of Annapolis. You have always been my hero growing up and an inspiration to so many. Making us Maryland boys proud!
Never meet your heroes

What are you implying??!?!???@@f87115
Most biggest surprise for me is that Travis is still alive and make it so long, there was some crazy folks around and didn't make it but was not even close to this guy. A true legend, showing to others that nothing is impossible
You cry from watching morons with to much money Lmao. Now that’s sad
Your name will be known forever, man. 40 and still showing us how it's done. Yeesh. Definitely the OG.
Facts my friend
Imagine all of the saved souls ❤

It feels like the end of an era. Like we'll all look back and talk about Travis the way we gen x'ers talk about the 80's.
Damn. We're getting old. Saw Nick Saban, Pete Carroll and Billy B retired as well.
Insane watching Travis do backflips, seemingly effortlessly.. when I was younger, no one was doing them
Damn well said. Exactly, over 2 decades of watching his absolute epic shenanigans, pushing the envelope always
Keep this at 199 likes
Well said
This is why Travis will always be the greatest to my generation. There will never be another 199. Thank you Travis for everything and always pushing the envelope. You made my childhood awesome.
Greatest of all time :D
There will never be another Travis Pastrana
199 GOAT
Tom Brady is a 199! Both Goats in their own lane.
Broke his hand talked to the camera then sent a worlds first crazy ass trick 1st try. That was so sick. Nate’s build was spot on. Such a cool video
Then immediately forgot about his broken hand and fist bumped it.

@@RossLH I feel like this is the single most "travis" part of the whole video too...classic Trav!
That was so sick...aka that was so Travis P
@RossLH I can't lie...I laughed when he did that. 😂
One of a Kind Legend . The things you've accomplished in your career is astonishing and the amount of abuse you put your body through to do it 100% respect
I’m not a bike guy. But I definitely in awe of everything I’ve ever seen Travis do.. and meeting him at LAX, the guy spoke to me like he knew me for years. Talent gets you so far.. but attitude and humility get you the rest of the way to immortality..
nicely put, sir.
I am a bike guy. Raced competitively from 2004-2012. I was at Daytona when he back flipped during the heat race and got in trouble with the AMA. Started watching him when I was a kid during the Kenny Bartram, Metal Mulisha, Seth Enslow era when he was a kid/teenager too. Kept up with his career until now, and it seems like the credits are rolling. There will never be another 199.
Shut up with that crap.@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist5
Nicest guy I ever met!
Far out dude.. you're making me tear up. Thank you Travis for all the Gnarliest,wild, crazy and incredible things you've done.. not only what you've done to action sports.. but the rad humble guy you are through-out it all and the help you've provided to everyone around the world. G.O.A.T
40 and still hasn't changed a bit Travis you were a legend from the first time I watched you till I watched you pull off this stunt which was unbelievable just like the first double back flip. We have been truly blessed to watch your career.
Travis, hands down, you are one of the greatest of all times. From the moment you own Xgames in San Francisco until today, you have defied gravity and your life and body parts. Here's to your greatness. 🎉
I was there in s.f. it was still to this day the coolest fuckin thing I've ever seen!
That intro hit hard, realizing my generation is getting older. Thank you for everything you’ve done for action sports you will always be the 🐐
bittersweet
At 38, glad I grew up in the golden era of action sports. Damn it’s nostalgic now as we all get old AF😂. Can’t believe Nate Wessel is still building stuff
The end of an era. The greatest idol to ever sit in two wheels, thank you for a lifetime of legendary.
Travis is already a living legend. He definitely has nothing left to prove, but he still has the fire inside, making him want to keep pushing the boundaries of what is possible. That is what has made him so great and what will help him be successful in whatever he decides to do.
When Travis said he was 40 I cried a little. I remember when he was a kid with the wild backyard here in Maryland. Damn I'm old...
buddy, you have done enough. you blew the entire culture up for everybody. you inspired sooo many careers. you did all the NBDs. im totally satisfied with your legendary contribution. from the bottom of my heart i hope you can find joy and satisfaction in the next phase of life. enjoy those new body parts.
im 33 and i been watching you my whole life, getting old sucks lol, i broke my back last year and boy do you not bounce back like when your young lol, you have balls of steel sir and you have always had the best attitude, always just wanting to have fun with the boys and bring everyone up with you, not trying to get one over on people being sneaky, just letting pure talent drive the train, my hats off to you for all you have done for this sport
Oh man wait until you are 51 lol.. I broke my back when I was 15 launching a YZ250 like a Saturn 5 rocket and it landed right on top of me and snapped me like a twig. But I went on to riding for a few more years then went to skating and became a professional at that until finally my body couldn't do it anymore. Had major back surgery in 2010 to fix what they didn't fix when I was a kid and they ended up messing me up even worse and now I'm disabled from all of it. But it was a helluva ride and lots of fun to this point. I'd do it all again in a heartbeat. But I absolutely agree with you getting old sucks! Lol
Ya Im 40 and 33 was amazinggg, 40 sucks! and 51 proph noo im not ready :(
Right there with ya. Had 2 spine surgeries this year at 29 and I dont ill ever get back to riding
@@RosinGoblin dang brother, I hope you don't have too many more of them lined up, I'm so glad I didnt need surgery, I think I'm really lucky I'm light, at 55kg I think roughly 120lbs or something, I would have hit the truck a lot harder if I was heavier. Either way it sucks getting hurt when it's your own fault, it sucks way worse when it's because of someone else's stupidity or rushing for no reason. I tell you one thing, it made me calm my farm a whole lot in a car now too lol never taking any risks .. it's amazing how some people it can get in your head and others it seems to not affect at all. I hope it doesn't cause you too many ongoing issues brother, take care
Yep. I can confirm things take longer to heal once you've hit your 50's. The problem is the brain still thinks you're young and forgets your age until you've broken something again. 🙄 Hope you all take care and stay safe 🙏 We definitely don't bounce like we used to.
This video was awesome. Absolute legends
did he died from this
Dude seeing Travis continue after getting hurt bad....man's never changed, huge respect man but as a Dad, make sure you're always there for your kids
So proud of this dude he made my childhood and I’m 36, you accomplished so many people wish they could and forever you will be a legend Travis. Let’s it rip man you have NOTHING to prove you put your impact on the world and there will never be another you brother 🤟🏼
Likewise, 37. It’s been an absolute joy watching his career.
Travis is a living legend, most people would've bailed out and stayed on the sidelines at that age, dudes pride and determination is unreal. Loved watching him during the Xgames Days.
I just want to say back in Indianapolis, when your rookie year in the supercross, you stood next to me in the urinal stall beside me in the pits. After we came out you handed me a pair of your goggles and stood there talking to me for about 10 minutes. You are probably the coolest dude I have ever met. The popularity and celebrity status that you achieved throughout your career did not change you in the least bit. stay real my friend! youll always be one of my favorite racers and riders in the world. Thanks for being you
Travis Pastrana is a legend. Owes us nothing but still keeps going. Thank you #TP199
On 2 wheels or 4 no one sends it quite like Travis Pastrana! Absolute ground breaking legend! Look after yourself now TP you’ve more than earned it. I still watch your double backflip from the X games from time to time and it gives me goosebumps!
You Legend!!!
We all appreciate Travis, but I don’t think any of us can truly understand how rare of a human being he actually is. There are very very few that will ever do a quarter of what this man did. I’m glad I lived alongside my idol from birth until now. What an amazing thing that is.
Yeah his spirit is one of a kind.
There’s something to be said for knowing when it’s time to hang it up.
I think there comes a time in every guys life where you have to take inventory of what really matters.
Props to an amazing career man!
Absolute legend of my childhood. Thank you for doing things that continue to "push the envelope." You are unstoppable, coming from someone with a great amount of hardware in my left leg and multiple knee and shoulder surgeries and done far less than you. Keep pushing, send the set of your ideas unfinished as new ideas to the Nitro Crew
Does anyone remember him jumping his bike into the *San Francisco BAY??*
Absolutely EPIC
For sure an early epic moment
yup, I watched him do it.
Was there! But too busy talking to a chick so missed it, haha.
Classic Moment ! 👍🏻
He had all the eco-wacks panties in a bunch over that one! 🤣🤣🤣
I went to a Nitro Circus show is San Jose some years ago. My buddy and I had went for a few beers before the show and we're walking back to the entrance of the Sharks stadium. As we were walking past the back gate of the stadium Travis happened to walk out and was opening the back gate for somebody. We didn't even realize it was him, but he just walked up and shook our hands and said hello and to enjoy the show. It was a completely random experience but we were super impressed at how down to earth he really was and that he'd go out of his way just to greet us. Thank you for all these years of convincing us to just go for it and cheers to some needed surgery!
I remember watching Travis do his double backflip in 2006. It's crazy to see him still doing cool shit today.
That was probably the most epic X-Games moment of all time. Everyone lost their minds.
@@buzzfightbeer8023 What was crazy 10/15 years ago is a warm up to these guys now. The progression has gone so far
The xgames have kinda sucked since then.
@@Jacksquatch69 see better stuff coming from the nitro circus guys
I remember seeing him on crusty demons of dirt 3 in 2001.
We want you around for a long time Travis💜 you're a legend
Travis - thanks for taking us on this ride. I've followed you since your first X Games, and you've shown everyone what a class act you are, while elevating several sports beyond measure. No need for theatrics, just authenticity. And you never shied away from showing us the damage, but you shielded us from the pain. Laughed in the face of it, reminding us all that if you want something badly enough, you can overcome things as trivial as a broken hand (!!!!) or worse. You're my hero, there's no other word for it. But as someone only 2 years younger than yourself, I get it. It's ok to move onto other things, especially for your health and your family. Thanks for the ride of a lifetime Travis, it's been a privilege to watch you ride (and drive, and skydive and well, all of it). #199lives *cue Foo Fighters "My Hero".
Breaks hand, does trick, celebrates by fist bumping with broken hand! Gotta love Mr. Pastrana. You have been entertaining me for almost 30 years!
I don’t typically watch stuff like this so the fact that I found it in my feed means the video went viral so congrats for that. This brings me back to my childhood in the 80s. Building ramps that we would jump on our bikes and eventually a couple of my best friends and I got motorcycles and rode around with a fairly decent dirt track nearby. Anyway, I’ve broken my wrist before and was super impressed when you shrugged it off and kept going.
You’re an absolute legend man. I’ve been watching you since I was 13 and I’m 33 now. You seem like a really decent human being. A rarity in this world. Thanks for being you Pastrana
1 word: L E G E N D
You're not done yet, but even if you were you've already done more in your 40 years than most will ever do in their whole entire lives. Much respect Trav.
that first speech hate me tearing up man, thank you so much for the decades, of excitement and entertainment youve given us legend. forever the GOAT of action sports
Travis, Hey Man.
Been prolly 25 years or so since we met, in Annapolis. I do recall how comfortable you were talking to a fan and about my one-time bestie, Tommy T.
Since that time, you have conquered the flips and ramps you set out to complete. I'm glad to know we met.
This last accomplishment was made for the Record Books. You did it and completed your life skills as an active Motorcross, Ramp Jumper and Champion biker. Thank you for all your jumps and skills as an innovator.
God bless your soul and life that you will finish your life happy. Last thing I recall saying to you was,
"Take it Easy."
You gave me that Travis, KILLER SMILE and said, "I will."
Take further care and have a nice life - - -

as a 90's BMX kid it's very cool seeing Wessel involved in this madness. glad everyone made it out in one piece. wild stuff.
Wessel is one of the greats from late 90s/early 2000s bmx. The one trick he did that I'll never forget is in Road Fools 7 or 8 when he gaps out of a bowl at Kona skatepark and lands on the roof of a pavilion. It looks like it's 25 feet off of the ground, i swear. Look it up if you haven't seen it. It's still so crazy all of these years later.
Thanks for all the inspiration over the years. One heck of a role model Travis! Long live 199
The 🐐 period. Thee best daredevil athlete in the 🌎..guy raced almost everything, uber talented, 0 fear. Lived a life that no one will ever live. One of the coolest things was seeing him grab a dirtbike while everyone was swimming ,went about 70 hit water made it across giant pool ,hit concrete rode wheelie out, had inches on each side between trees, and made it thru to parking lot. And jumping bike off cliff into river no practice. Just to one up everyone. Guy is insane but im here for it. I have no heros in life, but if i did he would be mine. And im older than him. Met him couple times, he just talks to you like reg guy. Never to be seen again in our lives.. enjoy your family brother, you deserve it..👍💯🐐
I've been watching you for 15 years now and I'm 21. I always love seeing what you come up with! Keep being you Travis!!
This is the reason why you will be remembered for eternity, theres going to be no other like you mate! Looking forward to seeing what you can produce with others in the future
Haters?! Dude your mine and many others legend from 20 years ago till 2024 man Thank you for you man!
Right! If someone is hating on that I wouldn't even acknowledge it because they are the type of person who is a miserable fuck just hating on everything because they hate their life. Like how can you honestly say something about doing that into a bag as if their is anyone in the solar system even trying something like this. Like let me talk shit about a guy backflipping his dirt bike to nose bonk front flip because he did it into a airbag. Talking all that shit while sitting on their couch and pulling a muscle getting up to go to the fridge and now they can't walk for a week.
I wasn't expecting to be holding back tears within 90 seconds
Same!
Whoever's cutting onions needs to stop, for real. 👍😢
Travis, you’ve been my hero since I was a little kid. I remember laying in bed watching the double backflip during xgames at 12 years old and crying I was so blown away. I got to meet you at unadilla a few years ago and I got a picture with you that I’ll cherish for the rest of my life. My addiction to powersports is all because of you and now it’s passed on to my children. You are an inspiration to millions of people and even if this is your final send, you’ll always be a household name in my family. Thank you for making my childhood great and giving me the motivation to do the same for my kids.
Being able to share motorcycling with my son has certainly been one of the most satisfying aspects of my life and it wouldn’t nearly been as good without being able to watch Travis. He pushed us both to be better riders and he always left us at awe when we were off the bikes. Thank you Travis. You’ve inspired millions.
LEGENDDD!! There are so few in the world as courageous as travis pastrana and he has done the impossible too many times to count. You're the best and every adrenaline junkie for the next 1000 years will be inspired by you
I love this man! It's actually refreshing to hear him say he needs to dial it back because I can't lose him too...
This just show how much Travis loves the sport man is a legend and has nothing left to prove and he’s still going out there trying world firsts. Then he goes and knocks it out first try with a broken hand 😂
Travis is a living legend. Absolutely insane to witness this during my lifetime.
to nate wessell, you inspired me more than anyone back on road fools with your 'do one good thing a day' mentality when you weren't even a rider but a filmer on that trip.
Thank you sir
Thanks for all the years of inspiration, Travis. You'll always be a legendary leader shining a light on what can be made possible, no matter how much further we progress. We all stand upon the shoulders of giants like yourself.
These dudes are fearless. What they do on motorcycles is unbelievable.
I don't care what anyone says. Travis is the reason for FMX innovation. No one I repeat no one was doing what he was doing till he did it. I still remember still to this day being a kid sitting on the couch with my dad when he pulled the double backflip on X games best trick in his plaid shirt. LEGEND!!!!!
How did he do that first try with a broken hand?! Travis is not human! A true legend....
he did not mean to do it, what is called a fluke.
That’s Travis Fucking Pastrana, no fluke lol. That’s a GOAT right there. You’re witnessing a historic trick and you choose to downgrade it friend. How about you try any trick Travis has done 😂
@@tyler1735 Agreed! You don't fluke that sort of thing, plus he literally said he was going to do it!
You can fluke anything. Many pro riders have them.
His name is Travis Pastrana adding swear words in the middle doesn’t make it any better or do anything.
You’d be surprised what a human can do with a set up sponsors and the relevant tools! Anyone with enough time to dedicate to stunts can do this. Those who push the sport do it as their job and get to spend all their time on the bikes.
Yea he’s a legend just he is also just a man having fun on a bike.
With the adrenaline running and we pop off something you’d be surprised what’s gotten away with. I’ve crashed before and stayed on the bike after doing what looks like a stunt, I was just holding on. Do you know how many attempts or takes to practice these stunts? Any trick done first time is a fluke that’s just how it is.
People are just too full of hype now days.
A fluke is something done first time with no practice wether spoken of or not is not the point. A fluke is an unlikely chance of occurrence, especially a surprising piece of luck, so to pull a trick like that first go with no practice is a fluke. I’m sure if I had his back ground I could pull off a lot of stunts just I don’t I don’t have a motor x cycle or a compound or the money or sponsors, see with all that he is a business and it’s how he makes money so you’d expect him to be pushing the sport and trying new things. Makes me laugh when people think a person is just not human when anyone put on a bike from a young age and is given inspiration and freedom to Will progress in the sport so much more than someone riding at the weekend. At 14 he won the World Freestyle Motocross Championship, do we even consider what it takes to do that as in team bike and such it’s not just one person riding a bike, he has been supported all his life and made a profession out of it. He even said when after he rode out of it, he said that because even he was surprised he made it… to put it short he’s an 80’s kid he don’t mind falling. Ive won bike races with a broken hand, broken collar bone, broken heal, broken fingers, surprising what we can do when just go for it have fun and send it.
Travis you Sir have given the earth hope, integrity & perfection. Enjoy the new life you have created and never look back. Well done
This is such a testament of what Travis embodies. I am beyond speechless & inspired. You are the legend of legends, Travis! Thank you for your service!
Breaking his hand immediately then landing it right after that is the most Travis thing ever 😂👏
Really hope this guy knows he has given so much to the fans through the years that he deserves to be doing exactly what he wants. He owes us nothing. Enjoy life trav we are truly grateful for everything! Also who in the world could possibly be a hater of this guy?
There’s NOT A CHANCE IN HELL that this is the last time Travis sends it
I dont think so either! Lmao hes always guna be a legend
Unfortunately the human body has its limits, he'll get his fix doing something else but the days of extreme sends are over, a beautiful ending to an amazing journey and story
@@StevenP727 Not a chance in hell. He'll be back doing something even more insane soon. It's who he is.
knee replacements can be replaced. He's going to be back again and again until the day he dies.
Happy retirement TP. Thank you for being this generations EK. Those of us growing up in the early 2000s and late 90s you inspired not only a generation but an entire sport.
Trav is my idol for so many diff reasons. I can’t put it into words. Thank you for all the inspiration you’ve given me over the years to push myself!
the goat of extreme sports...thanks for all you have done for sports trav...a true legend
amazing to see travis still out here thriving and doing everything he loves.
I grew up riding and racing dirt bikes but never at the level you guys ride at. I have always looked up to you and what you have done for the sport. From racing to freestyle to just being an awesome person with a great attitude all around. You will always be a true legend, Thanks for all the awesome years of memories Travis you are the fking man!
We love you Travis! Thanks for taking our sport to the next level your whole life! Ride on 💨✌️
My whole life I followed what Travis did. I remember watching the double on TV back in the day, the whole world went wild. Now this "final send" right here, I doubt it really is final. Just might be the last big thing we see him go for. Stay safe 199 and thank you so much for being rad on wheels.
It's wild that you put your body through so much and just push through for the pure love of the sport. Mad respect Trav. You are a one of a kind inspiration.
i haven't cried from both happiness and sadness as much as seeing travis do one last crazy thing and get to watch the next generation making giant stride on pit bikes after the legends lay it down on the big bikes ❤
I remember Travis jumping into the water at the X-Games how many years ago I don't wanna even think about LOL. You're a legend kid and it's been a pleasure watching you over the years!!!!!♥️💯👍😎😁♥️🇨🇦
Travis.. my brother is Mike Healey and I still to this day remember a race that you and him were in at Perris Raceway and he just come back from Europe and you were just a young stud on one of the most epic careers revert. I sincerely respect every fiber of your being. From millions of action sports afficandos thanks!
Just a unbelievable legend it motosport history. You are the all time best Trav. Love the way you pass the torch too. We need more people like this 🙏
Incredible athletic ethic from Travis, just blown away not only by his performance but as him as person
Travis Pastrana has been one of the best idols out there inside and out, loved watching him while growing up, huge legend what a guy
Travis, I'm 43 and have been putting off a hip replacement for a few years now due to how stubborn I've been in accepting my situation. You've got nothing to prove because I doubt anyone will ever leave the legacy in action sports that you have🤘🇺🇲
I’m 43 and had my knee replaced about five years ago. It sucks but not as bad as the trashed knee I was working with for the twelve years before that. The recovery sucks but once it heals up you will be happy you did it.
7:09 reminded me of when he was in crusty back in the day & broke his wrist on the heel clicker step down… it’s been so cool watching your whole career since I was a kid, a hero to many!
This man is a living legend. A true meaning to Greatest Of All Time. Thank you for pushing the envelope
Travis, THANK YOU for all you and you’re team have done for actions sports. Live Long and Prosper brother. Let er rip.
This man sent that with a destroyed hand…..absolute legend
Not ashamed that this has me tearing. Witnessing greatness like this is beautiful. I hope travis lives forever
End of an era. Miss watching you in X games when I was a kid. So many exciting new tricks and actually pulling them off it was incredible. And nothing really excites me anymore. But remembering those massive stunts thinking about how crazy your ass is. Absolutely a Legend. Ken and Trav was the best childhood
Gonna have to name this thing the “Pastrana Flip!” Only fitting one of the craziest tricks you could pull be named after one of the craziest riders ever lol. Thanks Travis for all the memories growing up!
Man, Getting old sucks but watching your heroes get old sucks too. Pastrana & The Nitro Circus Team are absolute national treasures. Most of us have been watching since we were kids - & so were they!
Thank you for sharing your story and always pushing yourself to the limit. Thank you for always knowing your limits ❤
Damn i grew up with Travis doing crazy stuff and the fact he was still doing it at 40 is crazy. He is a prime example of a true sportsman( among everything else he does). Keeps on sending it until the body(or love for family) says no. Absolute legend in everything he's ever done, and "retires" with the respect he deserves.
Enjoy your Family time Travis! You have certainly earned it.
Travis, you are a legend taking action sport to the next level for decades and have been an inspiration to us all!
You are such a legend and inspiration, Travis!
Your legacy is cemented forever 🙌🏼 Thanks for bringing us behind the scenes to see this one!
Dude it’s wild to think… I’m 38 and i remember watching you launch that bike into the bay at the x-games. Now you’re 40 getting knee replacements and still doing crazy stuff. Amazing.
Watching Travis and crew doing mini races, watching his career explode to the highest levels unimaginable is really awesome to watch, having knee problems myself with two knee surgeries I can relate on what he wants to accomplish. Travis is a legend major respect man 👍
This was so badass!! Thank you Travis and the crew for pushing the limits over the years, never thought the day would come where it would stop!
No matter how unsatisfying it maybe you did everything possible and impossible.
Again thank you Travis and the entirety of people who accomplished those victories!
Travis is up there with the greats from all sports. When you become a household name and stay relevant for 20years that makes you one of the G.O.A.T's through out all sports. Thank you for your dedication giving millions dreams and entertainment for years an years. 💚👏
Travis, you're a huge impression. I'm 37 years old. Also dealing with motorcycle accident and I just scheduled by knee replacement yesterday for my right knee. They're going to do it on cemented because I'm sure I'm going to need another one, but I just wanted to let you know how much of an inspiration you have bet on my life and it's nice to know I'm not the only one at this age going through it! Best of luck, healing and happy holidays!
Congrats brother... we all hit the point where we need to slow down.. What an amazing way to finish out. Wishing you and the family a great holiday season and speedy healing
