Summary
June 13 will bring a Travis Pastrana dirt-bike backflip to the White House South Lawn as part of UFC Freedom 250, the event President Donald Trump is hosting for the U.S. 250th anniversary.
Dana White said Pastrana first pitched the stunt at a Power Slap event, and White then took the idea to Trump, turning what Pastrana expected to be a joke into an approved White House spectacle.
Construction is already underway on the South Lawn for the UFC card, with Pastrana's jump sponsored by Black Rifle Coffee and tied to the launch of the upcoming Nitro Circus tour.
The stunt adds to a broader White House-UFC collaboration that has drawn attention and a federal lawsuit seeking to block the South Lawn event, underscoring how unusually far the promotion is extending onto presidential grounds.
