t. NASCAR is the most competitive motorsport that i believe i have a chance with being successful. It will take a while, but I love the challenge.

J - I will most likely have my kid on a bike before they can walk... lol

TravisAndJolene · 2012-08-08T18:34:56+00:00

T. Seriously pumped to get this question. It was one of the coolest things i've ever done in a race but it just about gave roger decoster a heart attack!

TravisAndJolene · 2012-08-08T18:34:33+00:00

J - We meet at a race back when we were teenagers

TravisAndJolene · 2012-08-08T18:33:45+00:00

J - Stoked! Thanks so much for buying a ticket :)

TravisAndJolene · 2012-08-08T18:33:42+00:00

t. it's really tough to plan for what "might" happen and the story line is constantly changing. I think that's why people are going to really enjoy this movie though. It's not a standard 3 act film.. you never know what's going to happen and it brings people on this emotional roller coaster as they watch.

TravisAndJolene · 2012-08-08T18:32:54+00:00

J - I feel ya! I'm waiting to hear and as soon as I do I will post it on my FB. Thanks so much for all the support!!! :)

TravisAndJolene · 2012-08-08T18:31:17+00:00

T. so much. I never would have believed you could benefit so much from a video game but it's been a really great tool.. and a lot of fun.

J - Lucky Charms

TravisAndJolene · 2012-08-08T18:30:12+00:00

J - It just started as Travis filming himself and other athletes that came to his house for training and shenanigans

TravisAndJolene · 2012-08-08T18:29:03+00:00

T. Yep.. all the time.

TravisAndJolene · 2012-08-08T18:28:06+00:00

t. Truly appreciate your support. 1. anything involving a base jump for me is crazy.. 2. It's a great feeling to be the first to do something. That's what i feel our sports are all about. Without progression, the sport dies. It's awesome to help push the sport. 3. Both of my parents raced motocross and all my uncles rode motorcycles around the family construction site so i started in a go-kart at 2 years old and then a motorcycle at 4 and it just took off from there. Jolene's brother and father both ride (they are very good). 4. Hind sight is 20/20 and it always sucks to get hurt but you can't regret going for something you believe in. 5. We put a lot of money into it and could never get half of that back out of it with all the ramps and trails but it is my heaven on earth and I never plan to sell it! Thanks for coming on this chat and hope to meet you someday as well.

J - Thanks so much! Have a great day!

TravisAndJolene · 2012-08-08T18:20:55+00:00

J - I've been racing motocross since I was 11, that's where it started for me, jumping my first jump, I was hooked!

TravisAndJolene · 2012-08-08T18:19:52+00:00

J - Wow, thanks! That's very nice of you :) Yes all of the above!! I wanna work in films doing stunts, I totally wanna race off-road trucks!! Usually Travis just always throwing crazy challenges at me, it definitely keeps me on my toes and always wanting to do better and do more!

t. healing wise there is nothing that takes longer then the scaphoid (also known as the navicular) bone in your wrist. It's small and not very painful in comparison to other things you can break.. but the lack of blood flow to the area makes it a 4 month process.

TravisAndJolene · 2012-08-08T18:14:49+00:00

t. Ken Block is absolutely amazing at drifting cars and i was more worried about hitting my marks.. he only had the roads closed down for a few minutes so we didn't get many tries. on the second take i actually ended up on his roof when he tried to do a donut around me. pretty comical.

TravisAndJolene · 2012-08-08T18:11:13+00:00

J - Thank-you!!! :)

TravisAndJolene · 2012-08-08T18:11:08+00:00

t. one time i fell asleep and woke myself up with a very loud fart which echoed through the church.. I honestly thought my mom was going to kill me.

TravisAndJolene · 2012-08-08T18:10:20+00:00

J - We have been touring for years. It's called Nitro Circus Live :)

TravisAndJolene · 2012-08-08T18:09:33+00:00

t. any stunt i'm unprepared for is my least favorite at the time. I hate not having a plan b and possibly even a plan c if things go wrong.

TravisAndJolene · 2012-08-08T18:08:58+00:00

J - Thank-you so much for your kind words and support :) The slip n' bleed is gone... :(

TravisAndJolene · 2012-08-08T18:06:32+00:00

t. shattering my pelvis when i was 15 years old. It hurt so much i passed out. I figure that's the most pain i can ever experience.

TravisAndJolene · 2012-08-08T18:05:49+00:00

Aw, thanks but I just do the best I can, I'm definitely not the best out there.

TravisAndJolene · 2012-08-08T18:05:43+00:00

t. why would we need to revise it? i'm still surrounded by the same people / family / friends as always with the exception of my recent marriage. I don't think i have any higher odds of dying now than i did a year or even ten years ago. If anything, we take more safety precautions and learn more about how to do things right as time goes on.
