Travis Pastrana is set to ride at this weekend’s UFC Freedom 250 which takes place this Sunday at the White House in Washington DC. The former motocross champion, decorated X Games athlete, and AMA Hall of Famer will backflip his motorcycle on the South Lawn of the president’s residence. Pastrana received the invite through a phone call with the UFC’s CEO, Dana White, who is also an investor in the Nitro Circus brand.

“We’re backflipping the White House lawn,” Pastrana said. “South lawn of the freakin White House, motorcycles…this is amazing.”

Pastrana, a Maryland native, is openly known for his support of the US military and notes that 24 of his relatives have served over the past three generations, including his father and grandfather. The video below from Black Rifle Coffee gives a detailed history of Pastrana’s family background and their involvement in the armed services.
