Travis Pastrana Wins Ninth Gold Medal at X Games 14 E-mail
Monday, 04 August 2008

Carlsbad, California August 4, 2008 – WMG athlete, Travis Pastrana, walked away with his ninth career X Games gold medal, claiming this one Sunday in the Rally Car Racing Super Special at the Home Depot Center. One of the X Games most dominant and dynamic athletes, Pastrana returned to the top of the podium after a bronze medal last year.

"I''m so relieved to have won Gold in rally! It was such an unbelievable race with so much action, I just tried not to make any mistakes and I think that made the difference. I''m already looking forward to defending my title next year!"

Helping Pastrana ride mistake free was his co – driver Carolyn Bosley. Bosley served as the co-driver for the late Colin McRae, a legend in rally car racing and one of Travis’ close friends, who died in a helicopter crash last September. She was a last minute replacement for Pastrana''s usual co-driver, Jim DeChamp, who was injured while trying to front flip in Thursday''s Moto X Best Trick competition.

Pastrana originally a Motocross rider, dominated Moto X freestyle for years, taking home six gold medals in eight years. Now he is a superstar in the world of Action Sports, which was highlighted in 2006 when he did the first ever double back flip, earning him Moto X Best trick and also won the inaugural rally car race the same year.

Fellow WMG athlete Dave Mirra also reached the podium, taking home the bronze medal in the Rally Car Racing Super Special. Mirra, originally a BMX biker made his rally debut this year and gave the crowd huge thrills with his unique style.

Travis Pastrana would like to thank the following sponsors: Suzuki, DC Shoes, Red Bull Energy Drink, Michelin, Alpinestars, Smith, Kicker, Thor, Parts Unlimited, Ogio, Nixon, Activision and Subaru of America.
