Travis Pastrana never rests.
If he is not racing, jumping, building a stunt, or chasing down his two daughters, you can probably be sure he's working on something new. And we caught up with him to find out!
Enter Circuit 199 in Sudlersville. It's a state of the art racing facility to train top drivers and to teach the new batch. It's a Progression Park where FMX, BMX, and skateboarders can hone their skills and take them to the next level. And it's a Pump Track and skills course to promote fitness to youth using the track for bicycles, skateboards, or scooters. And of course there is plenty of other entertainment planned as well.
When Travis brought Nitro Circus here in 2017 it meant the world to him to finally perform at home. And now he wants to continue giving back to Maryland--his home.
Circuit 199 could open as early as next spring, but the target is to be open by 2022.
Have a listen and get excited!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
