Endurocross Redux

There has been a lot of comment, talk, buzz, texting, and Tweeting about Endurocrosss (EnduroX) at ESPN?s recent X Games 17 in Los Angeles. EnduroX was new to X Games. And not only was there a ?normal? Endurocross, there was a Women?s race added as well.

Travis Pastrana talks about X Games, and more at opening press conference

Travis Pastrana has done so much in his life, it can't even begin to be documented. Race Professional Supercross, yes. Race Professional Motocross, yes. Perform Freestyle MX at the highest level, yes. Rally Car at the highest level, yes.

That doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of what Travis has done, and who he is.

This week he has a pretty tame schedule. Compete at X Games, fly to Indianapolis to race a car at a NASCAR event, then fly back to Los Angeles and the X Games to race Rally Car. Ho hum.

Here is Travis Pastrana at the opening press conference for X Games 17.
