Travis Pastrana is a legend. What a great ambassador for his profession and sport.
Wild man. He’s the biggest and will be probably forever one of the gnarliest dudes to ever commit to this sport for sure.
Alot of people don't realise that you can get a concussion without losing consciousness
Yeah and it's a weird ass feeling. Felt like I was in a dream for about 36 hours
@@LTR1420 yeah its scary when you realise how easy our lives can be altered by a bump on the head
Yeah man I’ve had a couple knocks that really affected me
@@GYPSYTALES we can tell. Lol
i just had this happen 2 weeks ago to me at the track, went over the bars head first into a berm, i was concious, but saw nothing but static for almost 10 seconds. took about 3 days before the daze went away
ive seen a few of these Travis clips- he always brings excellent insight on the topic at hand!!
Regardless of how many doctors he’s been to I’m sure they all told him that you can’t conclusively diagnose someone with cte until after they’ve died, takes years to sometimes decades for it to develop anyways, not trying to be a comment section warrior just a med student giving his two cents
Great comment though
This gave me hope that my noggin is still good after all the hits it’s taken
Same man 😂😂😂😂
Same here lol my first major concussion riding was when I was 13 I had a small brain bleed but no swelling so I was good and then a lot of lights out and stars moments lol but luckily I’m ok now at 31. I think so anyways I don’t remember lol
The first thing someone with brain damage says is " I dont have brain damage "
Hahaha
Yes lol wee do
HAHAHA. Too f**king funny!
Hey Rocky, you have any brain damage?
Rocky: I don’t see any
Lol..My wife "zapps" brains for a living (neurofeedback) treating all sorts but especially TBI (traumatic brain injury). My whole family rides moto, but she sees mostly surfers as we live on maui. I was super surprised to hear about the damage done by big waves. I took a Nasty hit in '14 on the track. It helped me a ton, I recommend it.
Daniel your wife has probably zapped my brain. I went over the bars landing head first riding Waihee around 10 months ago. I ended up with a subdural hematoma, had multiple MRI and CTC scans for the first 6 months. I feel pretty good now and looking forward to getting back on the bike🤙🏼
@@rico8089 you ride with Albert guys? I'm good friends with them and doggie bell. I ride track though. Rode down there since 05. But we just moved to Texas in January. See how it goes out here. Except I just ate it at swan mx broke my arm and leg. But I was lucky enough to not hit my head this time.
@@daniel6148 Shoots, arm & leg sorry to hear, get well. Good luck in Texas I hear they get ono BBQ and now you get short flights to Supercross, Motocross and Vegas 🤙🏼
@@rico8089 Rico you still going good? I had a bad concussion 6 months ago but not bleeds or anything. Do you highly suggest tms?
Also Daniel would you recommend the zapping for a concussion?
Travis is always next level
I’ve always looked up to Pastrana in the sport. Racing mx earned me 3 concussions, and then a tbi with 3 hemorrhages that changed my life forever. Supposedly I won’t survive another concussion, but I’m still riding for fun. No more racing. I bet I’m living with CTE but thank God I’m a functioning member of society 😂🤣🤘🙌
One TBI won't give you CTE, not even with a few concussions added in there. It takes hitting the same spot over and over and over again in a relatively short amount of time for someone to develop it (as is the case with many sports, when you may not want to wait out a whole season because of a minor head-bonk, so you keep playing and get another one in the same way). In fact, minor knocks to the head have been shown to be more dangerous than hard knocks when it comes to CTE. Why this is the case has yet to be determined.
Also, the doctors told me that too, and then years later I got another concussion and I'm still here. Maybe don't race anymore, but also don't give up the activities you love just because you'll be safer sitting at home. Then, you'll get depressed, and that's not good for the brain either.
@@johnnyvivic8730 interesting. Thanks for the info!
"I don't have brain damage" is exactly what I'd expect someone with brain damage to say lol we all probably have a little damage
Yeh he said he had 30 plus KO’s which is just nuts. Amazing he is still gong strong
I've heard this before maybe but I got overdosed by doctors and the thing like "your brains floor falls out then you are emotional or happy because you don't have the defense" plus all the concussions I've had. I have actual brain damage but you can heal even some damage over years but anyone who lives with it and some people can't tell you have issues it's hard
he can keep telling himself he is all good but give him another 15-20 years. the science is too new for him to be as certain as he is about his level of damage.
This is the definition of wishful thinking. Guy paid a bunch of people to lie to him if this is true.
Heavy topic
Rhinorrhea is when cerebrospinal fluid leaks from the nose, rhino is greek for nose if I'm not mistaken.
I currently had a motorcycle accident and sadly I wasn't wearing my helmet and got a TBI can anyone share some knowledge from same experienceces because thankfully I am doing alright and I just want to think I'll be 100% again one day. For those who care I was turning my bike around when my front tire/rim got stuck to a chain I didn't know was on the ground attached to a pole so I got launched off my bike when it jerked straight to my head. Thanks in advance!!
It makes me wonder if what we are finding out about psychedelic mushrooms hyper connecting parts of the brain, if they can speed up or help with concussions.
Yeh bro they do
Doctors are learning new things about the brain everyday ..I love Travis but he isn't a brain surgeon
You dont think his Dr. Has sat down and discussed it with him?
@@jasonvoorhees2701 I'm sure the doctor told him yah you smacked your head alot but hopefully there won't be long term problems, doctors are learning new things about the brain all the time some people hit there head once and change, others hit there head over and over and nothing happens everyone reacts different. There is not much you can do just stay positive and be as healthy as possible
CTE cannot be diagnosed until after death and there is no known cure. Travis seems to be talking about traumatic brain injury only which is not always repairable.
Medical professionals are getting close to being able to safely test for tau proteins levels in the brain that indicate CTE while the patient is alive. It isn't perfected yet, hopefully it wont be long until it is, then the cure...

Yes you do
I whach a bit on neuroscience but Travis id a orsom job on describing that very simply to cheers
And should be like a riders briefing video haah
I would like Ryan Hughes 2 cents on this subject.
So repeated concussions no problem as long as you eat clean and exercise.. smh. I’ve been a Travis fan for years but I think he’s deluding himself.
I agree. but if it calms his owns nerves then good for him, let him live that world.
Maybe it's the brain damage....
Yeah it’s impossible to have that many concussions and not have brain damage. He’s delusional if he thinks he has no brain damage
A bunch of doctors in the comment section? lol he's seen specialists, I don't think he's just talking to make himself feel better. As far as I know he doesn't sound like he has brain damage... he doesn't stutter, he doesn't slow down or lose his train of thought etc. Smh
@@eliasvaldes82 ever heard of lying?
👈😎 You go first Travis! But damm bro!
The sack our brains reside are not self contained. Spinal fluid circulates through the cranium constantly. Hydrocephalus is when the drain gets clogged and pressure builds up. Headaches and other concussion symptoms persist. No Bueno
What does cte stand for?
yes you do but the timeline for symptoms are years or decades away then you will be regretting the concussions you had. Everyone thinks they are different but they arent.
Interesting fact ptsd has 9 of the 11 symptoms that cte has. I wonder how many veterans have cte undiagnosed
That’s super interesting
@@GYPSYTALES it scared me when i found out lol im an aussie just wanted to let you know your channels content is off the chain man so many high caliber riders its unreal hope it blows up bro! I would love to see cameron Donald on your podcast im a massive irish road racing fan haha
@@shanerr7252 Ian Hutchinson story is unbelievable
@@kneeslider460 yeah in my opinion if he didn't destroy his leg he would have as many wins as john or joey by now
Many have TBI. All of the larger posts/bases have dedicated TBI clinics now, and most have for the past 10-15 years. It’s taken very seriously in the military (now).
Every thing has its risks to doing it. Im sure people get injured all the time playing shuffle board.
Some elderly who hasn't stretched in 30 years goes up for a shuffle or two.
Their lumbar is screwed.
For the sake of his wife and kids, I hope he does not, but science would suggest otherwise. You aren't getting knocked around like he's been with no damage.. The very fact you were knocked unconscious is damaging to the brain. An unfortunate example of this is Dave Mirra.
oh but that was do to boxing is what travis is implying. funny thing is boxers dont take blows to the exact same spot of the head everytime like travis seems to be saying. no brain damage...wishful thinking on his part.
@@rogerd943 Yeah, I guess if he's convinced himself of that.. again science suggests otherwise.
@@rogerd943 boxers are definitely getting hit in the same spot repeatedly they spar multiple times per week over 10 rounds each at the minimum

The people you give a platform to speak on are incredible. There aren't many action sports podcasts that give a voice to these incredible athletes. BUT>>>>you should do the program more justice. The way you bring up a topic and then pose a question is all over the place. I feel like I know what you are going to ask 30 seconds before it leaves your mouth.
Not sure I’m following you mate
I have a sister I need “zapped happy”
So what is Nitro Circus protocol far as brain injuries. Are they like the NFL.
I meth a gypthy
😂😂😂
Idk man Travis has had some pretty big hits throughout his life. I hope he doesn’t have or ever develop CTE but who knows
he should donate his brain to science then. pretty much why I haven't blown my brains out. I want my brain study from all the headshots from skating.
i would really like to put my ex in the zapper. she desperately needs a shot if happy. (she's a big meanie)
Title and thumbnail pic seem kinda sus. Looks like you're painting travis as being in denial of having brain damage for clout and clickbait. 👎
You’re reading into it too much
I haev hitt my hed lot, its gud i dot hav "bain Dramage" also.
The comma seems out of place.lol
O.c.d definitely
Travis has ocd?
To anyone that has suffered a head injury....SMOKE WEED,,,,,,thank me later
My man, great pod casts. But you ask a question the continue to talk for 5 more minutes.
We are having a 3 conversation...
Lmao, Travis, “I don’t have brain damage” talk about confirmation biased to justify lifestyle. Or just plain delusional.
Was a fan before he started spewing this bullshit to kids.
@@battownsend1990 there’s no reason to be that mad 😂
Well he has gone to the some of the best brain specialist on the planet. I trust them a hell of alot more than some dumbass on the internet that thinks it's impossible for him to not have brain damage. He has taken head injuries very seriously for awhile now and has been very open about it.
@@mattdyer489 Facts! people here just think they know more about him than he does because they watched a 4 minute youtube video on the matter once lol there is so much hate in this comment section
sounds like travis is in denial.
