00:00Hi, I'm Street Bike Talia from Nitro Circus, and I'm on pace with Pastrana.
00:05Woo-hoo!
00:06My name is Travis Pastrana.
00:10This is my wife.
00:18This is where I came from.
00:27This is where I'm going.
00:35And this is my story.
00:46We're here at Fontana.
00:48Not doing NASCAR this time.
00:49We're doing Rally.
00:50We've got the Rally set up right over here with the Dodge Dart.
00:52X Games is two days away.
00:54And X Games is actually going to be our best for the Dart track.
00:57It definitely has a lot of different variety in it, so it's going to be a fun week.
01:01So we're trying to get Travis' Dodge Dart sorted out for X Games.
01:04The trouble is, we never had an ideal setup at Charlotte or at Texas.
01:08And then X Games is different again.
01:10It's more narrow, the speeds aren't as high, and there's a lot of dirt sections which might
01:14have some bumps into and out of.
01:16So if we can get Travis really comfortable where he feels like he could place the car where
01:19he needs to, we're going to be going the right direction.
01:22We've got all the new chassis, new everything, so we're taking a little shakedown.
01:26It's awesome.
01:26Just came from Milwaukee yesterday.
01:28Had an awesome, awesome test with the NASCAR team.
01:30Learned some cool stuff.
01:31We're going to try it on the Rally car.
01:32We've got Bryce over here in the 99 car, so it's pretty cool.
01:36He's never really been in a car quite like this, so it's going to be a really fun day
01:38for him.
01:39We're giving him a lot of crap.
01:40These are the easiest cars and the hardest cars to drive, because wherever you're pointing,
01:43they go.
01:43But wherever you're pointing, they go in a hurry.
01:46It's my first time ever driving a Rally car, so we're going to be out here testing for two days,
01:49trying to get, you know, the feel for it.
01:51My background is off-road.
01:52I race trophy trucks and short-course trucks.
01:54Everything that you put into it, as long as you're, as long as you just keep aiming.
01:59Wheeling it?
02:00Hey, slick turn.
02:00We're good.
02:33I feel like we still have a little bit of an understeer issue after it sets.
02:38I've been out here all morning watching Travis, you know, test his car and make a bunch of
02:41changes and see what he does with the car, throw it around, and trying to get some feedback
02:44from him of what I should do in my car.
02:47Biggest thing for me, I think, is to get the understeer out of the car.
02:50I mean, it's a big car.
02:50It's the American muscle of Rally.
02:52The problem was, once it rotated and all that weight set on that front tire, the front outside
02:57tire, that's the only, like, it was like only one wheel was gripping with the ground.
03:01I think it's going to be good to make some pretty substantial changes in a direction,
03:06so it's clear very quickly if it helped or didn't, and then we can back off from there
03:11to find maybe a sweet spot.
03:12We're about 1.2 seconds faster with this setup than back-to-back runs with the old setup,
03:19and we were 9 tenths off of all of the last race.
03:22So in theory, this ship won us 3 tenths faster than everybody else.
03:31before we started, we just took a look at the set of up.
03:33Then we're going to go to the arena.
03:34We're going to go to the station on the other side.
03:38It's going to come out to the new market.
03:39We're going to try to stay on top of the little spot.
03:42We're going to try to make sure that the driver doesn't count from us.
03:49We're going to try to get into that scenario.
03:52The new setup of the new setup is a dynamic,
03:54and we're going to try to keep a little bit more.
03:58This year at X Games, it's different from every other year, A, because I'm not afraid
04:02for my life, and B, because I'm not riding a dirt bike.
04:05So I made a career on dirt bikes, but this year, I'm going for the gold in the rally
04:08car and get to watch all my friends with motorcycles.
04:10I don't know if it'll be hard or easy for him to kind of sit back while all the
04:15fastidies go on and wait until Sunday for his event.
04:21All right, on our way today, we have the Red Bull X Games opening party, and then we're
04:26going straight from there to the red carpet, the Man Chinese Theater for a Nitro 3D premiere.
04:31Should be good.
04:32I don't dress up much, and I love it when she dresses up, so this is going to be a
04:35good
04:35night.
04:36Oh, well, thanks.
04:37This is servants with a smile right here.
04:40How to talk to the team, you know, communicating with those guys, spending time, and just really
04:45it's kind of a different, it's not in the car practice, per se.
04:49So it's been a very challenging thing, but I really enjoy the challenge, so it's been
04:53fun.
04:55Do you have any garré poupon?
04:58Yeah.
04:58Where?
05:01Hey, hey, that malt liquor.
05:03Hey, you gotta switch malt liquor.
05:05Did you say you split it down?
05:07Oh, I got him on that way.
05:13It can't be low, because then you don't see it.
05:16We're here at the Red Bull X Games opening party.
05:17It's going to be awesome.
05:18What are we doing?
05:22We thought this was a party.
05:25I know, dude.
05:26I forgot Blue Steel.
05:27It wasn't quite ready yet.
05:28Nah.
05:43We're here at the Roosevelt at a DC party just before Nitro Circus 3D private screening,
05:49and we put so much work and energy, blood, sweat, and tears into this.
05:53I'm happy to still be standing, and tonight's the night.
05:56My wife has a super awesome cape.
05:58It's a butt cape.
05:59It's a butt cape.
05:59Turn around real quick.
06:00Look at the butt cape.
06:01She's a superhero.
06:02It's a super butt.
06:03She's got a nice butt.
06:04It's been years and years in the works just to get a movie, and the fact that it's now
06:08going to be in the theaters for people to see, we are overjoyed.
06:12This place is really trending.
06:14I wonder if Travis Pastrana is here.
06:33Nitro Circus 3D, the pre, pre, pre premiere, just as a thank you to all the guys that helped
06:38us make this movie, all the guys at X Games were a part of it in some way, shape, or
06:42form.
06:42All the industry, and it's going to be a good night.
06:45It's the first time I've actually seen the movie all the way done, and I'm looking forward
06:47to it.
06:48Is it because of the foreground I feel famous?
06:53I'm super excited to check out Nitro Circus 3D.
06:56I mean, it's 3D first off.
06:58That's going to be sick, but no, man, those guys are crazy, always doing crazy things.
07:01I enjoy watching it on TV, so I'm excited to see the movie.
07:04That's three by Tom.
07:34This is the first time I saw the Nitro 3D movie.
07:36It's been a long time in the making, a lot of rug burns, a lot of cuts and bruises.
07:42It's amazing.
07:43Melita.
07:44God, get out of my face!
07:46You know, just watching Travis in Nitro Circus, it's insane what he does.
07:49Definitely makes me a little more nervous watching him do all this stuff and driving next to
07:53him.
07:53When it comes to the time of coming door-to-door, battling, he's going to give it all he has.
07:56You know, we're going to be rubbing paint out there, but the best one is going to come
07:59away with the win.
08:07Staying beside me.
08:09Sebastian Loeb, eight-time World Rally Champion.
08:15Everybody here knows that he's pretty much the fastest driver.
08:18We have to take the race to him, so, you know, that's our goal.
08:20For me, it's the first time I do a rally-cross race, so even compared to what happens in Europe,
08:25I cannot compare.
08:26I've never done it, so it's a bit different from everything I've seen at the moment.
08:32Yeah!
08:33Sebastian's very calculated, even his mannerisms, everything is very...
08:36I don't think you can spook this guy.
08:38I don't think this, huh?
08:40That's not my way.
08:41My way is...
08:41That's for the crazy guys like Travis.
08:45France against America.
08:46We're going to go and race go-karts against the world's best rally driver, Sebastian Loeb.
08:53America!
09:06This is the difference between rally and rally-cross.
09:11See, in rally-cross, you have to deal with other people, and as well.
09:15It doesn't really matter what you're in.
09:16Even if you jump in a completely different car, a new car, within the first corner or two,
09:20you know how much grip it has, you know how to drive it, you know, fast,
09:22and honestly, like Sebastian said earlier, driving's driving.
09:29I think Sebastian's just not used to the head-to-head as much.
09:33He was trying to be fair.
09:34My one-hundredth of a second!
09:36Woo!
09:38I just was yelling and screaming and taking him out in every corner,
09:41so make sure you can get good luck.
09:43Sunday, it'll look a lot like that, and then all hell breaks loose.
09:46Game on and good luck.
09:48Literally a hero of mine.
09:49I mean, gotta try to beat him this weekend.
09:51What?
09:51It's for Sunday.
09:54Down the whole place and just had Sebastian and I kind of racing around as well.
09:58It's just fun.
10:08So no girl's ever been able to do the 70-foot right there, this big gap,
10:11and link it to the corner.
10:13My wife.
10:13Yeah.
10:14She became the first girl to do this when she was 14 years old.
10:18At the base page.
10:19She was done before.
10:20When she was 14.
10:20She was 14.
10:21She was 14.
10:21Drop in.
10:22Once you make this, then there's no breaks on the skateboard.
10:24It's all the way up to the trail.
10:48So tough.
10:50She's tougher than half the boys out there.
10:51And then there's no breaks on the thigh.
10:57You won't have to do that.
10:57You won't have to do anything.
11:01I just finished Majoramp practice.
11:04I finally landed the gap and I got to the quarter pipe.
11:08Nitted about a 10 foot air, and I popped out really far, so I pretty much felt like 25 feet
11:13out of the sky and I bailed, but I'm pretty stoked that I landed the gap.
11:17Yeah.
11:19Right now we are in the mazes that connect the Staples Center to the LA Live.
11:26Usually when I'm here, I'm hurt.
11:28So this is kind of nice to be able to walk on my own power.
11:32I'm about to head out right now.
11:33We're doing all kinds of games.
11:34Just going to be commentating Best Trick.
11:36Good to watch all our buddies on that one.
11:38So maybe the 720 is going down tonight.
11:52Now we're watching Moto step up and they're just shattering world records right now.
11:57Travis is actually being a good little announcer and studying and making notes and getting all ready and psyched up
12:03for Best Trick.
12:04All these guys are all my friends.
12:05They're all on Nitro.
12:06Our buddy Ronnie Renner out there just absolutely crushing it.
12:09Cleaning that bar super big.
12:10World record by like six feet.
12:12Him and Biden keep going up, but thanks.
12:27Ronnie Renner, 47 feet, 10 foot higher than the previous world record.
12:32Renner, I think his wrist is jacked.
12:34These guys are not going to be able to celebrate yet.
12:36They're going to be so smart at the event.
12:37Best Trick is about to start and it's going to be a huge year.
12:41Relief to be standing up here and not down there.
12:44Totally nervous that Travis is going to go.
12:45So I really hope that Clinton lands it because that means Travis won't have to do it.
12:50Let's do it some video.
12:52ESPN Live.
12:53Get ready for your Moto best trick.
13:07Not having Travis do it wasn't much better.
13:10My heart still hurts.
13:12He's part of the Nitro Live family.
13:14And pretty much just landed how Travis did last year.
13:23You knew you were small and you still were like, yeah.
13:26Oh yeah.
13:27Yeah.
13:30How are you alive?
13:32I don't know.
13:32That hurts.
13:33If I played like three heights before that, I'd be like, you know what?
13:36I'm done.
13:36You wouldn't have quit your feelings when I did it.
13:37I'd have been done.
13:39I'd have been done.
13:39I'd have been done.
13:41I'd have been done.
13:42First time in the dirt.
13:43Yeah.
13:44Yeah.
13:45You grabbed backwards.
13:46You grabbed like this.
13:47Right now.
13:48Yeah.
13:48It's a completely different feel.
13:49You went straight off like this is the wrong track.
13:52I need to try to slow it down.
13:53Push it out.
13:54You're still walking.
13:55You're so much better than me last year.
13:56You didn't yourself or break your ankle.
13:58High five.
13:59Thanks for having me.
14:00See you later, man.
14:02You're awesome.
14:11The Hot Wheels jump's about to go.
14:13Rob Dyrnick and myself have got a huge line of people that just showed up from one day
14:17of social media saying that we're going to be here.
14:19We are here kicking off with the greatest American ever.
14:24Travis Bassano and myself, Rob Dyrnick.
14:26We've got a line full of people.
14:27It's always cool to do stuff with Rob while he gets a big crowd.
14:29So anyway, how are you doing today?
14:52This was actually the most organized meeting we had.
14:55Ish.
14:56The jump's pretty interesting because hiking and wind came up short yesterday.
15:00Everybody freaked out and they made a table top and now there's no joker lap and...
15:04You don't change your direction that you're going straight so that we don't have people
15:08changing in midair.
15:09Like, just because you move to the right doesn't mean you're not going to jump because
15:13they're both lanes to jump.
15:14If you don't jump it, then you've got to stay to the right and Ken's worried about
15:17landing on somebody.
15:17But I mean, everyone's going to jump it.
15:20It's fine.
15:20And if they don't, they're European.
15:22So who cares?
15:25We're about to get going.
15:27Practice and qualifying.
15:28There's a lot going on right now.
15:30Because of the crash or the jump yesterday, these cars have not even turned a wheel on
15:34the course here yet.
15:35We're going out for practice.
15:36We lined up four cars.
15:38We get 16 laps.
15:39And then that's also seating, which is qualifying at the same time.
15:42We've got to get top three.
16:05Just got in from the second qualification.
16:07We get three.
16:08But technically, we're in second.
16:21We're about to fire it up.
16:22About to go out for our...
16:26Oh, my God.
16:28Mark's gone home.
16:29Just hit the concrete barrier.
16:31He just knocked himself out really bad.
16:34Holy crap.
16:35They're cutting the roof off the car to get him out.
16:37And no one moved.
16:38They tried stopping the crew from getting on the track.
16:40They got there.
16:41They've been there for five minutes.
16:42For anyone who went there.
16:43He's out on the Revolume for about two minutes.
16:45Out cold on the Revolume.
16:46He's seriously, seriously hurt.
16:47That might be close.
16:53Just everyone saying the safety of the track or the safety of the officials.
16:56No one really got to him very fast.
17:02Really, everyone was pretty much done after he hit the wall.
17:05I elected to keep driving after Marcus.
17:07I feel horrible.
17:08But there's nothing I could do.
17:09And as a competitor, I really wanted to do the best we could for our team and get the
17:12best possible starting and qualifying spot.
17:14And then they said those times were going to be stripped.
17:16After everything was done, we're sitting second.
17:17We're in the game.
17:18We've got a car that works.
17:30Here we are, X Games 18.
17:32It's rally day.
17:32Travis qualified second yesterday.
17:35So far this morning, he's done one practice session.
17:37All the drivers have done a practice session.
17:49You're going to watch the first heat.
17:51The first place qualifier was Ken Block.
17:52Sebastian Lowe was the fastest day in practice.
17:54So I think there's going to be a lot of guys really, really close for the win.
17:57Going into my heat, I started third row.
17:59Got a really good jump.
18:00Coming into turn one and the outside guy just turned in, hit me into Reese Millen.
18:04And it just sucked me back into fourth and there's carnage.
18:15What the hell was that, dude?
18:16We got the fastest car on the track.
18:18You've got to be kidding me.
18:19Everybody was breaking and all of a sudden, I just get hit from behind like I'm thinking
18:22a Mack truck's coming through.
18:31There's a broken dude.
18:32We hit the wall at 60.
18:34Hard shot.
18:35Hard shot.
18:35Whoever makes that corner wins the race.
18:37I know.
18:37There's no passing without nothing.
18:39It's worse than next one.
18:41You can try, but it's tough.
18:43Travis murdered everybody off the start in his heat race.
18:47Everything was looking good.
18:48And then the guy that got the worst start just came and pile-drived him into the outside
18:52barrier in turn one.
18:53It wasn't much of a chance for him to have an opportunity to pull away from the field and
18:57guarantee his spot in the final.
18:59Now we have a wrecked car because one guy couldn't figure out how to use his brake pedals.
19:02This is ridiculous.
19:03First turn in the first heat, man.
19:05Travis came in the first turn.
19:06You know, he's first place.
19:07And they went and wrecked him.
19:08So they came back, tried to jump in my car to use it for the heat.
19:11Just transfer the number over.
19:18They won't let him use my car, yeah.
19:21Man, we did good.
19:23We qualified.
19:24Good.
19:24I mean, had the whole shot.
19:26Just got clean.
19:30They had back the car.
19:31I mean, why would you bring back the car if it came as good?
19:33You drive Bryce's car.
19:34There is a loophole in the rules under exceptional circumstances.
19:38So basically, I would take Bryce's qualifying position.
19:41I would take, I am now Bryce.
19:44If that were to work, so.
19:45Right when I knew it happened with the car wrecking like that.
19:48Travis's team, his car, you know, he is X Games.
19:51That's when you think of a name like that.
19:52So get him in there and try to go win this thing.
19:55So he's going to go into the last race.
19:56Correct.
19:57In the same qualifying times and everything that were used that Bryce earned for the car.
20:03We're using Bryce's tires, Bryce's car, everything Bryce has earned with Moon Driver nominated.
20:08Hey, they're not telling you a number.
20:10If they're saying it's not allowed, give me a number.
20:12Give me the rule book and give me a number.
20:13There's no clause like the one there is in GRC.
20:15They don't need a number that says no.
20:17So is there something about cars in ESPN?
20:19There's nothing that says.
20:21Just show me the rule book.
20:22Hey, Bryce.
20:22That's a GRC rule.
20:23Get geared up, man.
20:24I thought we were going to be able to switch Bryce out under the rules that were in the GRC.
20:29I could have raised.
20:30So Bryce got out, adjusted the car for me.
20:31The last second X-Game said, no, that's not the sanctioning body.
20:36We are, and you can't run.
20:37So Bryce is sitting right here, and if he drives that car like he did in the first couple laps,
20:42it's going to be great.
20:44Don't jump, don't jump.
20:52Cameras.
20:52Cameras.
20:53Cameras.
20:55Oh yeah.
21:00Well you can't ta' get trying.
21:06Hey Brun, dude, that second-term you jumped it a little, but when you drive a car, that's how you
21:12drive.
21:13All right?
21:13That looked good, man?
21:14I have to know that if Lowe makes him the first turn,
21:16he came over, so I'm just saying.
21:38Once Sebastian got through the first turn clean,
21:40it was all him.
21:41It's been a crazy experience.
21:43There's just no better driver,
21:45in my opinion, on the face of the earth,
21:47and it was an honor for him to come over.
21:49It was great for American Rally.
21:50Oh, yeah. Congratulations.
21:52Thank you. I'll hold this.
21:55Signed the only trophy I got this week.
21:58Actually, I mean, it's kind of a joke.
22:00It's go-karting and everything,
22:01but I'm going to frame this.
22:02Oh, congratulations on this.
22:04It's similar deals.
22:06It was pretty close, but he might have got
22:09the better end of the stick.
22:12On the next episode of On Base Vastrana.
22:15Oh!
22:16Oh!
22:17Oh!
22:17Oh, oh.
