He also did it by showing one of his well-known demanding workouts: “Fun getting upside down on my dirt bike again! Honored to have the privilege of riding in the White House.”
In passing, he publicly thanked those who would accompany him just a few hours later on this unique adventure in the gardens of the White House: “Big thanks to @blackriflecoffee @nitrocircus @rickycarmichael of @jeremymcgrath @briandeegan38 and @keithsayers for making this happen and @teamevs for getting the shoulder for me so quickly after I dislocated my shoulder a few days ago. Brace worked well ready for tomorrow!”
As it could not be otherwise, Pastrana and the rest of the MX legends did not disappoint all those fans who were eagerly awaiting this incredible exhibition with the façade of the White House in the background. After the event, Nitro Circus, official sponsor of the event, confirmed as the south garden of the presidential residence “It became the most unusual setting for a freestyle motocross competition.”
There a stellar cast of action sports legends undertook a once-in-a-generation event, “for a jump that will be talked about for years”they argued. They go on to explain how “For decades, these motorcyclists have redefined the limits of what is possible on two wheels”and for this sporting event “They brought that same spirit of pure adrenaline to one of the most iconic places in the United States.”
