Nitro Circus - Announcing the 2015 Fall North American Tour!

Hot on the heels of Josh Sheehan’s groundbreaking world first triple backflip on a motorbike, Nitro Circus (www.nitrocircus.com)
today announced details for its greatest ever all-new arena tour coming
to 25 North American cities this fall. The world's biggest live action
sports show will visit 11 first-time markets such as Chicago, Denver and
Washington D.C. as well as six Canadian stops, making it the most
extensive run that Nitro Circus has ever undertaken.
Nitro Circus Live’s latest creation takes things to a whole new level,
as the best athletes in freestyle motocross (FMX), BMX, skate and more
unite for a spectacular all-new production. Starring 17-time X Games
medalist Travis Pastrana, the tour will feature unbelievable new tricks,
record-breaking feats, insane stunts and the craziest contraptions
ever, plus a whole new repertoire of daredevil fun.
“We can’t wait to bring this all-new tour to North America. The stage
set is over the top and will definitely pump up the crowd,” says
Pastrana. “The energy fuels us to push ourselves to the limit and put on
an amazing show. You really never know what could happen.”
Pastrana will lead an elite team of athletes showcasing a star-studded
FMX line up that includes the world’s first triple backflipper and
reigning X Fighters champion Josh Sheehan, Australian X Games gold
medalists Blake “Bilko” Williams and Cam Sinclair and American superstar
Adam Jones. On the BMX side, show attendees can expect to experience a
cavalcade of never before seen madness, led by one of the most decorated
riders of all time, Chad Kagy, along with James Foster, the only person
currently performing the BMX triple backflip, plus a host of other big
names including “The Warrior” Jed Mildon, X Games medalist Andy
Buckworth, and plenty more.
On this tour, Jolene Van Vugt, the first female ever to backflip a
motorbike, will go for another groundbreaking World’s First as she
attempts to also become the first ever female to do a double backflip on
a BMX bike. Wheelchair motocross (WCMX) star Aaron “Wheelz”
Fotheringham will show what defying limits is all about by hitting
Nitro’s infamous 50 foot Gigant-A-Ramp. Also, completely new to the show
this fall and, in a breathtaking display of strength and skill,
three-time X Games gold medalist Daniel Bodin will backflip a 400-pound
snowmobile ramp to ramp. Additional show contraptions include quad
bikes, mini-bikes and a host of other outrageous new motorized and
non-motorized monstrosities. In all, there will be more than 10 world
first’s, each never seen in the USA.
.
Combined with a host of outrageous new contraptions launched from the
jacked-up, bigger than ever Nitro Gigant-A-Ramp, this is truly a visual
experience never seen before.
To top it all off, for its latest event Nitro is going really retro,
with the entire performance choreographed and styled as a 1920’s
three-ring circus featuring elephants, bears, clowns, trapeze artists,
flame throwers, lion tamers and much more. Painstakingly developed over
the past five years, this stunning new set and Nitro-composed
soundtrack will transport you into the past, to an eerily haunting,
abandoned, derelict Big Top. With mind-blowing new lighting and an
explosive pyrotechnic display, the new theme provides the perfect
backdrop for the most spectacular show in Nitro’s history. “Believe us
when we say, you have never seen a circus like this before,” says
Pastrana.
Pre-sale tickets for the U.S. shows are available now, with tickets
going on sale to the general public on Friday, May 15. In Canada, the
Nitro pre-sale begins one week later on Monday, May 18 with the public

global popularity, leaving a burning impression on the minds of young
people across the planet. Nitro Circus: The Movie, featuring cast
