GoPro: Pastrana at Straight Rhythm

Travis Pastrana does things his own way. Not only was Red Bull Straight Rhythm his first professional race in five years, he also opted to ride a 500cc two-stroke. When his qualifying time seeded him to sqare off against Josh Hansen in the Round of 16, there was little doubt it would be an exciting matchup. 

After Hansen took the first win by a hair -- racing was a best-two-out-of-three format -- it was all or nothing for the second heat. Not only did Pastrana claim the win -- although he was eliminated one race later -- he celebrated in true Travis-style: with a backflip. Take a look at the video above of his memorable run.
