Dana White Gives Travis Pastrana the Green Light for a Historic White House Backflip

When it comes to dream stunts, few people think bigger than Travis Pastrana.

The action sports icon has built a career on turning impossible ideas into reality, but his latest proposal might be his most ambitious yet: backflipping a dirt bike at the White House.

At Power Slap 20, Pastrana made one simple statement to Dana White:

"I want to backflip at the White House."

Dana replied, "Let's talk," and the rest is history.

Dana White personally called Pastrana with the news he'd been waiting for.

The answer?

Yes.

The call confirms that plans are moving forward for Pastrana to attempt the unprecedented stunt ahead of UFC Freedom 250 on Saturday, June 13th at the White House South Lawn, an event already shaping up to be one of the biggest celebrations in UFC history.

Throughout Travis Pastrana's career, the Nitro Circus founder has repeatedly redefined what's possible. If there's a chance to be the first person to do something, Pastrana is usually the one raising his hand.

But flipping a dirt bike at one of the most recognizable buildings in the world would take things to an entirely new level.

The combination of Dana White, Travis Pastrana, and the White House creates a rare crossover moment between combat sports and action sports, bringing massive attention to both Nitro Circus and the UFC ahead of UFC Freedom 250.

Stay tuned for more information as this historic stunt continues to take shape. Catch us on the White House South Lawn on Saturday, June 13th.
