"I hope to hit it kinda like Jeremy McGrath, do the motocross first the film afterwards." Travis probably didn't plan to be a
Crusty hero at age 13. Anyone who knows what's up can take one good look at Travis' footy see a serious talent. (Talent
being defined and skilled, strong and gifted). Any other numb-nuts, which as mx'ers we have all probably encountered, figures
the whole thing to be easy. . . "Motocross don't take no exercise, you just sit there and give it some gas and just ride around.
Play some football, now that's a tough sport . . . " Yeah, yeah, save it for the Prom Queen ya dip-shit. You can be sure that
even Travis gets that from his peers at school all the time, "Everyone in town feels that MX is really easy and they could all
beat me . . .". What's so tough abouta "flying x' over a 70 foot triple jump, that's just like hitting a plank with a couple of
bricks on it in the street, isn't it? Or landing a triple with no hands. 'Big deal, I can ride half way to ampm with no hands . . .',
'I can drive my pick-um-up with no hands when I'm puttin' in a chew . . . " Yeah . Travis sucks. We all suck. Motocross is
for pansies.

Travis takes the whole mx thing pretty seriously and seems far more interested in being the consumate professional than a one
trick pony for any motocross films. He trains regularly with the legenary Gary Baily, spending a couple days a month at
Bailey's School Of Motocross. Primaily, technique and energy conservation are the subjects addressed on the winding
outdoor classroom. Travis is allowed to do some substitute teaching from time to time, "I try to teach, but Gary usually ends
up correcting me . . . Like if I tell someone how to do something and then I go out and case a jump and go over the bars, he
tells everyone exactly what I did wrong.". Back onto the seating chart. Growing up, as if he's 'all grown up', Travis picked Jeff
Stanton as a role model. He's definitely a hard worker. Doug Henry's the current top guy on the list, "he's the only guy that
talked to me before the Crusty movie. It used to be Seth until he became a bit too suicidal." This is probably good as though
Seth is definitely one to be admired, perhaps not the best guy to follow when riding. You might suddenly find yourself about
to make a taco out of a brand new CR 250 using only your case and footpegs.

This season Travis will be on an FMF equipped Suzuki. Travis will be sticking to the 125 B class at least through Loretta
Lynn's. Suzuki just busted him a 250, and he's definitely stoked. Black Flys, Fox and 1-800-Collect are a few more of a
good sized list backing him on route to what could very well be an amateur championship.
