I'm best man at Jim DeChamp's wedding tonight
and this is definitely crashing the wedding.
I've never done a front flip before but this isn't what I expected it would be like.
My name is Travis Pastrana.
This is my wife.
[ Music ]
This is where I'm going.
And this is my story.
[ On Pace with PASTRANA Season 2 ]
[ Dover International Speedway Dover, Delaware ]
Here at Dover right now, blistering hot.
We're about to go run 200 laps around a monster mile,
jump in a helicopter.
Fly into Jim DeChamp's wedding, my Nitro Circus friend.
I'm best man so I'm hoping we get around here nice and fast
and we can go straight there.
- If we put this 60 car up near the front of this field,
we get qualified right now.
- Ninety degrees outside and it gets to about 120 in the car.
[ 5-Hour Energy qualifying ]
You can actually jump.
You don't physically leave the ground, but the car gets really light
coming in the first turn. And you land,
everything gets all wild and then you slide all the way up the track.
Qualifying was pretty good.
- Jim, hopefully I'm not going to be at your wedding early.
I mean that with all due respect.
I just don't want to hit a wall.
[ High tempo music ]
[ 5-hour Energy 200 ]
Pretty good run here in Dover for me.
And Dover's hometown track
15th - not what I'd say good position
but right now we're driving down the freeway to the airport
right over here to jump on a helicopter and go to Jim's wedding.
[Annapolis, Maryland 60 miles from NASCAR race]
[EL NINO] Well, we here at Jim and Steph's wedding.
They're finally goin' to tie the knot.
Travis is finishing up his NASCAR race and
he's coming in by helicopter.
I don't hear him yet.
[ Heavy metal music ] [ Helicopter engine humming ]
My body temperature is still so hot from in the car
I might pass out before we get there.
[ Music ]
[ Wedding music ]
[ Helicopter engine roaring ]
Look, this is definitely crashing the wedding.
That's the wedding right there.
[ Wedding music continues ]
[ Distant sounds of helicopter ]
[Jolene] I wasn't given much direction.
I was given a golf cart and told,
"go get Travis when the helicopter lands."
[ Wedding music ]
Whoo!
- Wedding crashing 101!
[Jolene] I'd like to say that I think this is
probably another world first.
- Thank you, sir! - Yeah, that's right!
- Aw, it's a clip, I like it!
[JOLENE] In about five minutes, three groomsmen
helped him to put on a suit.
- Whoo! - Record time.
- Beautiful, man.
- No phone booth needed.
It's an hour from race head. We're not bad.
[Stephanie DeChamp Jim's Wife]
[ Applause ]
[ Drums; band music ]
-He's never afraid to have a good time
and stand up for the rest of the crew
so thanks for being our guinea pig, buddy.
"Cheers!"
[music]
[Pastrana Residence Annapolis, Maryland]
[LYN-Z] So today's the baby shower here in Maryland.
Interesting thing about having a child is
you actually get all these parties and
people give you gifts for the kid.
[Travis] So all the girls are here,
all the guys are around back riding some pit bikes.
We've got Steve McCann, all the Maryland A-Team.
Should be an epic day.
Hopefully we don't die.
You gotta check out this turn over here, man.
Second gear pinned, [ shooowp ] full windom style.
[ Music ]
Four people on a team.
Each person does three laps.
I got picked by Travis to be on the team
only because I'm Jim's stunt double today.
-Gotta wait till he gets here.
-We're way back.
-Actually we should get a leap. I should go next.
-Yeah.
[ Engines revving ] [ Heavy metal music ]
-No, no, no. Not yet, not yet.
-We gave Jeremy the bike behind and
he's absolutely demolished the "Michigan Mafia" Ron Meredith.
Crap. He has the lead right now but it's not going to last.
-Hey!!
-You started with the lead!!
-Come on, man!
-Come here!
-Last time I pick you for our team.
-Jim talked me up WAY too much.
-He bicycles for a living. You figure he could do this.
[Travis] It is a front flip ramp by design.
In theory, if you go up and do nothing,
you should get half a front flip.
I've never done a front flip before but
this isn't what I expected it would be like.
-I'm glad you're dumber than I am.
-That 'O' right there is actually a bull's eye for your face
after you start your front-flip down here.
-Why is it every time I have a stupid idea
for one of my friends to try I'm the one who ends up trying it?
Note to self: don't come up with any stupid ideas.
If he hits the box the way he's thinking it'll give him an extra kick.
[ Bike motor revving ]
[ music ]
-Get that thing in 2nd gear and just see what happens.
Take it down one notch.
-I absolutely feel miserably for this front-flip
but this guy's got no riding experience at all.
So we're thinking...
[Jim] Trav! You can't do a front-flip!
-I know!
[Jim] Then why are you trying to teach him how to?
-I'm not teaching him how to do a front-flip
I'm trying to have him show me how the ramp works.
[ Engine revving; music ]
-Let go! Jump off!
[ Laughing ]
[Jeremy] He's under the bike upside-down, he's saying
"Let go, jump off"
-If you don't do anything, you land upside-down!
-I got a lot of gas.
-You gotta lot of foam down-- -On my crotch.
-You don't have a lot of-- -I know it's starting to burn.
-You don't have material down there.
[ Laughter ]
-Oh sorry, did I break his neck already?
[ Women laugh ]
Here. I got it.
[ Women ]: Awwww!
[Jolene] You're sweating really bad right now.
-Thank you very much. I'll pick that up later.
[ Laughter ]
[LYN-Z] All I... I can hear dirt bike noises while I was painting
how do think I felt about that?
-You're such a good girl. [ Lyn-Z laughs ]
[TRAVIS] That was one hellava weekend;
wedding, race,
baby shower, pit bikes.
Catch ya time on On Pace.
On the next episode of On Pace with Pastrana,
went down in Florida for Two-Stroke Week.
