Series from 2009
Inspired by Travis Pastrana's popular DVD of the same name, "Thrillbillies" expands into a full blown series featuring a bathtub brew of dimwitted dar…
The Thrillbillies are a group of redneck friends looking for the ultimate thrill. In episode 1, "Refus," keeper of Thrillbillie lore, explains what a Thrillbillie is and how someone becomes one. Plus, the Thrillbillies big wheel at Lake Powell, Arizona, ride a rocket toilet, freeride in the Utah desert, try their hand at acting, and learn to fight the hard way in Elko, Nevada.
In episode 2, Thrillbillie masters, Cam and Crum, satisfy their itch to race with trailers in-tow. The boys do some car shopping, and the 2008 supercross season is revisited. Dusty, the mini-bike phenom, is profiled, then joins Crum for the first race on the chicken-cross track. Shot on location in Las Vegas, Utah, and a secret ranch, the boys go bigger than ever.
The boys head to the dunes with a monster truck, a canoe, and extreme-skier, Chris Collins. Plus a backyard mud hole becomes a challenge to jump in and over.
Travis's cousin, Special Greg, is profiled. Special has the reflexes of a cat, and although he can't ride a dirt bike very well, he's helped to create many of Travis' contest winning Freestyle moto tricks. We also pay a visit to Travis' back flipping academy. Many of today's top riders have learned the basics in his foam pit and on his dirt piles. And finally, we take you to the "million dollar jump" at Castillo Ranch. It's named that because that’s how much money Travis lost when he crashed jumping it, ending his supercross career. Shot in California and Maryland, Jeremy Rawle and Gregg Godfrey (as Refus and Sprocket, respectively) act as hosts to help tell their stories of success and failure.
Cam and Crum wakeboard behind and airboat and park cars at high speed. Plus bike flipping and couch racing.
Episode 6 features fun with Crum's broken truck, BMXer Fuzzy hall, snowmobiles on a lake, and the last Chicken-cross track race.
