At the Olympus Rally Travis was in his rally car waiting for a stage to start and my son and I were standing 50 feet away by a fence by ourselves. He hopped out and came over to talk with us for 5 minutes until he went off to race. He was so personable and excited to just have a chance to talk with fans, he is a legend!
Grew up in Annapolis and Travis is a legend and still remember having so many classmates having “ computer problems” in order to skip the covid classes to watch the jump in person. Still insane to me that this dude who did that still lives in and represents Maryland. Great video man
Okay that's a pretty badass/cool story! It was absolutely not what I expected and I now have more respect and appreciation for him than I did before! Legend!!
That must've been so surreal. He is a true legend. But don't sell yourself short , bud. You're a class act too. Most youtubers don't care how their videos effect others, but you legitimately care about the time and effort these guys put into their craft. Glad you got rewarded for not being a tool. keep up the great work and don't give up. you're efforts will too be rewarded. You now have my sub. Thank you
LOL, I remember watching your video. It was neat to see some of the BTS stuff, as opposed to the official production. Really cool that he dropped off the jersey in person, though!
Just found your channel randomly. I was standing like right next to you when you recorded the drift video lol. I have a video of me right in the same spot. small world and a fun story!
I have a feeling this video is gonna a blow up lol. I had the same thing happen to me in Southern California but with some of the Metal Mulisha guys like 20 years ago.
I have to say I thought you were going to tell us he's a bad guy. I'm so glad that wasn't the case. He's someone I've looked up to for over 20yrs nice to know he's the same nice guy irl as in his videos... He is a legend!
Travs an absolute legend. I've met him at events several times over the years and EVERY single time, he makes time. From chit chatting about MY projects, to signing anything. One time I happened to catch him by himself as he was on his way to the bathroom. It was the only 5 min break he had but he took a few seconds for a pic and autograph...THEN ran into him later and he said he felt bad he had to run off and proceeded to have a 5-6 min convo. I also remember a time when he finished winning Oregon trail rally and spent 45+ mins being with the crowd, doing his thing, everyone got theirs and had moved on and he saw a kid prob 5 yrs old waiting patiently, but nervously and Trav approached him and asked if he wanted pics and check inside of the car. He spent easily 5 mins, no one was really watching, but he made time. He just finished 3 days of rally and crowd work, you could tell he was tired, but got a buzz when seeing the kid light up. They say dont meet your heroes, well I've met one of mine, several times, and every time he exceeded my high expectations.
Hey Burch, I bought the 2025 Honda rebel 1100 SE on Friday 12-20- 24 with the new display, foot pegs moved forward the orange color is awesome. I really like it Dean. you need to check it out .
Congrats man!! How exciting! You’re only the 3rd person I’ve seen that’s been able to get one of the new ones so far. I went to my dealer a couple weeks ago and there wasn’t one anywhere within 500 miles of me 😳 Hopefully you’ll see one on the channel soon enough though… Enjoy the new bike and ride safe dude! 🤘🏻
Well, ya got me... (pissed? Not sure he was even upset lol) I was totally ready to hate on that guy ... but he was super chill, and you both handled it super professional.. props to Travis for maintaining his cool and props to you for doing as he wished.
We met Travis at SOFR 2024 while shooting video content for IG/TikTok. He was incredibly nice to us, never rushed us off, and it just made us feel really good to meet him and get to see him drive in person.
I mean if the news covered it. It is what it is. But the going into his comments and trying to get his fans to go watch your content is lame any which way. That's just a bad move all around. Like i get being thirsty for some youtube bucks, it speaks about 1's character if they think that's a good idea. Im glad you ended up realizing it was stupid. I get wanting to grow and blow up, but keeping your integrity is much better. Good job dude
Yo Burch! I may ride from S. California to visit friends in Massachusetts. Your area is only 6 hours south of them. Lemme know if you have any rides planned for mid to late April. I may also tour New England as well. I've taken the year off work. Lol as long as my gf approves of this month long bike trip.
That’s what was actively happening when you texted me the other day asking if it was ok to come home from work early and I was like “Uhhh I’m kinda working give me some more time 😅” 😂😂😂🧡
lol great video. I drove by accident his house. I had no clue till riding buddy told me. Why not ride everyday. I live on eastern shore and ride daily to work all year around. I just got a new battery for the bike. I switch from agm to lithium. Did a test run today and everything seems fine.
I tinted the matching Lamborghini to that boat here in Appleton Wisconsin. It was owned by the same guy who owned the boat. He made all his money when led lights came out. He was the one who outfitted lighting in all the major stores in the nation. Walmarts, Home Depot, ext. Was once convicted as a coke dealer and turned his life around with led lightning, lol.
Dude you didn't do anything wrong if he didn't take into account people would be filming this thats his fault. He is the nicer of the guys in the business but still he should have thought hey everyone has cameras in their pockets. Pretty cool he hand delivered a jersey to your house though. No other action star would do that.
Not to mention you tried gaining your viewers off his content lol big difference in a content creator and you a UA-camr lol ..Looks like you got pretty lucky though your up to 80k plus subs should be paying some bills with that .. Go getchu a super moto intend of a an enduro brah …
This seems like a good place to ask a question... have you ever thought about "Burch meets Birch" Chris Birch that is... the KTM ADV great? Also I just saw a picture that Corey Taylor posted of himself with his dog... and I thought to myself "He looks just like Life of Birch!" have you ever heard that before?
I'm already pissed and gonna show up at your house. Its Not a jet boat in the video! That's an offshore racing Catamaran most likely with #6 drives or surface.
Funny I came across this video… I work for a commercial print company, and Hoonigan used to be one of my clients. We printed the posters of this exact Gymkhana jump, and I was gifted a copy signed by Travis. He’s definitely one of the GOATS, and a genuinely nice human being. Thanks for sharing this story 🤙🏼
This is why TP is so well respected! Not matter how amazing he is he still makes time for people he is such an amazing human!
100%!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Heavy story bro. Just another reason Travis is a legend of our time
And this is exactly why we love Travis, an absolute gentleman, it just shows how much he actually cares!
This is the kind of story you’ll tell forever! Huge respect to Travis!💯 Thanks for the great content! 🤙
This is why being nice goes a long way, no matter who you are.
Cool shit, man.
Travis is a local legend! My daughter did gymnastics in Annapolis with his daughter, he picked his girl up in a motorcycle and sidecar.
That’s so rad! Local legend for sure 🤘🏻

Holy shit 😂
Thats like missing MJ stopping by your house to give you a basketball lol
Damn, that's a cool story 😁😁. Nitro Circus... That's a blast from the past.
And that shot of you wearing a helmet under shower was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣.
Awesome story! I rode my dirtbike with Travis Pastrana in Croom! (Brooksville FL) he’s a cool guy that’s for sure 😎
What a cool story! I was thinkiing the ending would be sooo different. hahahaha! Sounds like an awesome guy. Well done sir.
LOL, I remember watching your video. It was neat to see some of the BTS stuff, as opposed to the official production. Really cool that he dropped off the jersey in person, though!
great story. Thanks. Keep doing what you do and being you. Ride safely and ride often. Peace from Connecticut

You’re the new local legend now Burch. Keep it up bro! Merry Christmas 🎄

Cool story Living close by in Maryland I always hope for the random Pastrana dirt track plug 🔌 lol it’s on my bucket list .
You were in the shower singing and you think the cat was hiding because someone knocked the door?
😆😜❤️🇬🇧
Lmaooo valid point 😂😭
Travis is a class act!
This is why travis is the coolest guy around
I don't know how accurate the UA-cam view counter is...but I'm currently viewer 420. =D
I’m trying to find a Christmas tree related 420 joke, but can’t quite put the pieces together 😂😂😂
That's awesome. Thanks for yet another good video. Be safe, have fun, and I'll hopefully be at a meet-up in the future on my 99 cbr600f4.
Awesome story. TP199 is an awesome person.
Pastrana is Legend!!
100%!! 🙌🏻🤘🏻
Good luck with channel. Straight up "Legend" #199

I grew up racing Travis. That was dumb dude 😂
You'll meet him soon!
Great video Burch !!! 🤙🏽
Yo I NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU DID. I need to do it so I can meet him and hopefully get him to teach me
Good story.
Soooo who’s sending this video over to Travis? Lol 😂
I miss the days when my son was a Crusty Jr Demon.
Into the beginning of your story. Ken Block asked Travis Pastrana to drive!! Don't get it wrong!!
Sorry for the disrespect. I called out too soon. My apologies.
Bro your vids don’t pop up in my feed until a month later
lol. Timing is everything...
FYI.. He finally gets to the point at 4:40
It was a badass powerboat jet boats are a little different
You're not dumb. It was public and already in the media
I'm already pissed and gonna show up at your house. Its Not a jet boat in the video! That's an offshore racing Catamaran most likely with #6 drives or surface.
Do you even clickbite, bro 😂
New video!!!!
Let’s gooo!! 🙌🏻🤘🏻
" a jet boat " ???
Lol damn what a story
Nothing like some clickbait in the morning.
Hey man we spent alot of time and money filming in a public space so stop… i get it but still, Travis busted his head alot!
Thatd be miss geico their brother
Like TP he's the sh*t!
Funny I came across this video… I work for a commercial print company, and Hoonigan used to be one of my clients. We printed the posters of this exact Gymkhana jump, and I was gifted a copy signed by Travis. He’s definitely one of the GOATS, and a genuinely nice human being.

No way, that’s so rad! 🤘🏻

Yeah, you stole his work and your at it again! Use your own content man, you knew what was going on, you used it to cheat veiws to get paid.

So so cool.i sub too.as always bud keep it on two.
