Fight Club Pastrana, Langston, Brown and a Title. Before the 2. 00. Grant Langston and Mike Brown had dueled in the press and on the track in the 2. FIM Motocross World Championship and Travis Pastrana and Langstonwell, lets just say it went further back than that. Grant Langston. We had this race at the end of our South African Nationals in 1. I believe. Travis Pastrana came over and I think Paul Currie and someone else as well. I think Travis was 1. I was 1. 3.

It was formed in the Spring of 1980. It wasnt like they offered him a bunch of money or anything. But I think he just said it sounded like a good idea. Even at that age he was on his own mission. So, he came down and of course were all like, Dude, its fing Travis Pastrana He had already been on Terra Firma. We were, like, super fans. My dad said, No. You dont need to be nice to him. You beat him. Get his autograph first maybe and then try to beat him. So anyway, I just went over and we started chatting and we kind of hit it off. Travis Pastrana. I wasnt supposed to ride because I broke my thumb literally the day before I flew over there.

This fking punk comes up, Oh yeah, pretending to have a broken thumb. I would have kicked your ass. So I had to race Grant Langston. The first day it poured badly and Traviss bike cut out on the line and I won in the mud. It wasnt really a true test because I ended up winning in the mud, which I wasnt known for, but no one else in South Africa could ride in the mud. Travis Pastrana. It was a mud race, which was great for me. We had a battle royale, back and forth, back and forthHe passed me, looked over and just swerved and just hit me off the track. Then he flipped me off Grant Langston on a run in with Mike Brown in Brazil. Grant Langston. I think I got the holeshot then he ended up jumping this one jump that none of the 8. I was like, Dang it. I have to do it, because hed jump over my head. Aprenda Ingles Em 30 Dias Para. So the next lap came around and I was like, If he can do it, I can do it. I just followed exactly what he did. It was a step down with a single afterwards. Travis Pastrana. Then I pulled off. I was leading when I pulled off, though, because I was a sissy. He was like, Couldnt hang So, he talked crap. Grant Langston. We were having a great race. We checked out, like murdered the rest of the field and kind of went back and forth. Once I got that jump dialed it kept the battle good. Then he ended up casing it. When he got there South Africa he was already suffering a thumb injury. I guess he re aggravated it. Then he pulled off, but for like 1. I had ever gone in my life. Travis Pastrana. And then I see him later on, he goes out and wins the World Championship in 2. Still the same punk. Greg Albertyn had his back 1. I was like, all right then. Greg was a guy we looked up to so much. In 2. 00. 0, I was on a Caterpillar Honda, Dave Thorpes team. It wasnt the best bike. KTM was a great bike. Over there in the sand it was like hard for me to even qualify because my bike was not up to those guys. And those guys ride good in sand. For me, I think overall for the whole yearIm not going to blame it on the bike, but in the sand racing I struggled. Tomb Raider 3D here. I wasnt the best sand rider and I didnt have the best bike, so it was hard for me to do good at those races. My goal was to win the World Championship. Langston came out on fire and beat us all. Andrew Langston. I left South Africa with Grant and went over and worked in Europe with him and then ended up being his mechanic. Basically, I told him that once he was done in Europe that I was going to head back to South Africa. Lee Mc. Collum. I met Travis originally when he was on an 8. I did the amateur support truck. Then I think it was at Steel City, Pat Alexander came up to me and asked me if I wanted to work with Travis as his mechanic when he came to the pro team the following year. So, I said, yeah, sure. Thats how it started. Harry Nolte. The first time I met him Grant Langston was in Europe when he started riding for us at Kees Van Der Vens KTM team. What I saw immediately were he and his father pushing like hell, always looking for lap times and to be faster. He was training really hard on the bike. I think Grant was really a racer and physically I dont think he was the best guy as far as training, but on the bike he was unbelievable. I tried to get Grant. I had kind of been following what was going on over in Europe. Somebody told me that he was looking to come over here. I was like, I need to call that guy. Mitch Payton. Sometimes I fly off the handle. One time I came through and put the bike through the tent. At the time I didnt really think it was the bike until I did good at the hard pack races. I could do well with the bike on those tracks. Grant Langston. Mike Brown and I had our run ins. Programs For Strength And Size. It started in 9. Brazil, I think. I got the holeshot and in the back part of the track, he was going fast. He passed me, looked over and just swerved and just hit me off the track. Then he flipped me off At this point, I had never even met the guy. I just remember I was really irritated and I just pinned it down the hill into the next turn and hit him off the track. That was the start of Mike Brown and I. I hadnt even met him. I remember afterwards I was like, That guys a dick. I fking hate that guy. Im going to fking clean him out. My dads like, Yeah, you clean him out. The first time I had ever heard of Grant Langston, it was in Europe in a sand race. I didnt know who even won the race. I came in and I said, who won the moto And it was Grant Langston. I said, whos thatHe came out of nowhere and started just winning. Then the next race in Germany, I remember that again. Dang, this dudes on it. Next moto, same thing. So from then on everybody knew who he was. That was the first time I was battling with him. I think Luxembourg GP, me and him was banging bars and battling at that race there. Grant Langston. So, from 9. Brown, but we didnt battle a lot in 9. I felt like either he was there and I was here, or I got a good start and won the race. But we didnt really battle. In 2. 00. 0, it kind of went next level because he believed he could win the championship. I believed I could win the championship. And Jamie Dobb believed he could win the championship. As you can imagine, when youve got us three, it started getting frisky from that point on, especially when I was the guy to beat. When Brownie had his days where he was good he would love to try to ride into you, and then slow down and do it again. We didnt really battle over there. Nothing like we had here. Over there you never really banged bars too much or nothing like what we did here. Over there, no. Never had no troubles. Just good racing and that was it. As Langston grabbed the 2. FIM Motocross World Championship and packed his bags for the U. S., the hype began to build around a new rivalry with Pastrana, the 2. AMA 1. 25 National Motocross Champion. Many years after that first South African MX battle, the two would meet again in France for the 2. Motocross des Nations. Travis Pastrana. I never forgot my first meeting with GL and I saw what he did in Europe. At des Nations that year, Im like, Okay, come on. Grant Langston. I actually watched that footage the other day for the first time in a long time.
