Kelvin Brown wrote to Travis Pastrana 3 times before he secured his dream tie. The Nitro Circus Producer and Presenter is special to nearly every boy at Waihi School.
Wikipedia says this about the extreme sports legend:
Travis Alan Pastrana (Born October 8, 1983, in Annapolis, Maryland, USA) is a motorsports competitor and stunt performer who has won championships and X Games gold medals in several events, including supercross, motocross, freestyle motocross, and rally racing.
One of his most radical stunts was jumping out of a plane without a parachute and attaching himself to another jumper with a parachute midair for a safe landing. He has also been involved in surfing.
Before you get excited and want to be like him, just look at the price he pays - Injuries have often taken Travis Pastrana off the circuit for weeks or months at a time. His medical records include: the dislocated spine, in his left knee he’s torn his ACL, PCL, LCL, MCL, his bucket handle meniscus, broken his tibia and fibula, he’s had surgery on his left wrist twice, left thumb once, two surgeries on his back, one on his right elbow, nine on his left knee, six on the right knee and one shoulder surgery - OUCH!
