To us mere mortals, experiencing some of the things that action sports stars like Travis Pastrana experience could easily induce PTSD or even nightmares. Pastrana, who now runs his Nitro Circus touring event that showcases skateboarders, BMX riders, and other actions sports athletes, talks with Graham Bensinger about showing up in a hotel lobby in his underwear and other moments of sheer terror when he wakes from his sleep-walking nightmares. Apparently, Pastrana is a bit of a magician with locked doors when he’s in his unconscious state, which makes sleeping in the nude off limits.
This might explain why Pastrana might have nightmares and night terrors: Bensinger has posted the entire interview to his Youtube page in cutups with titles like, “The time I nearly bled out after a crash,” “Closest I’ve come to a heart attack,” and “Travis Pastrana’s most dangerous stunts.” So none of those incidents could cause night terrors, right?
