Well, I am something of a daredevil myself, so I can tell you, it definitely gets the "juices" flowing faster and you feel more alive, and more capable, and more skillful..... until you do something really stupid, or misjudge something, and get hurt.  I try to keep the risk factor to a minimum, but still get the adrenaline rush.  As for jumping, I used to try some of the jumps on the motocross tracks, but now at 64 years old, I avoid the jumps or just "roll" them. Actually I mostly avoid the tracks altogether, and stick to the woods trails.  Those are plenty of fun for me.

So, now you have a hometown boy you can cheer for!  I think Travis is doing his Nitro Circus this year, so you should look for that.  Best show in town!  Cheers

That is so cool. He is incredibly talented. Apparently, he's from Annapolis, MD, near where I live.

I don't know, but I think Travis could easily do the awesome canyon jump that Robbie Knievel did, in 1999 I think.  FYI, Robbie successfully jumped the Caesar's Palace fountains, to avenge his fathers horrific crash there.  I am surprised that Robbie was not on hand to talk to Travis, at the end of the video.  Instead, one of Robbie's brothers was there.  Maybe Robbie was mad about the whole thing, thinking "What's the big deal,  I already did this, who is this Travis to horn in on my act, like I never did it."

Thanks for watching!!  I just added a second video here, I don't know if you saw that one.  It is better than the first one.
