Nitro Circus Euro Tour 2012
The newest, most daring and adrenalin- packed live show, Travis Pastrana’s NitroCircus Live, which has already performed to record breaking crowds in the United States, Australia and New Zealand, is set to come to Europe for the first time in November and December 2012. It will be the world’s biggest and most audacious action sports production ever staged.
Headlining the tour that will visit the UK, Sweden, Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Belgium, Netherlands and Spain, will be 17-times X games medalist and action sports legend Travis Pastrana, in his first ever European tour.
Joining Pastrana will be the entire Nitro Circus crew from the hit MTV show and upcoming Nitro Circus 3D Movie including the world’s leading stunt woman, Jolene Van Vugt (CAN) and multi- record holders, Erik Roner (USA), Jim De Champ (USA), Special Greg (USA) and Dusty Wygle (USA), as well as some of the world’s best action sports athletes.
Nitro Circus Live is a two and a half hour fully choreographed action sports spectacular. Each show combines the biggest and best freestyle motocross (FMX) stunts with insane BMX and skateboard action, as well as the famous Nitro Circus crew performing outrageous feats on a crazy array of contraptions launched off the 50 foot high Nitro Gigant-A-Ramp.
Fans can expect to see everything from kids’ trikes, snow skis, tandem bikes and razor scooters through to shopping trolleys, a Barbie car and even a drinks cooler launched with skill off the Gigant-A-Ramp. The show also features spectacular choreographed FMX riding, including the 10 rider Nitro backflip combination train, which has to be seen to be believed.
Speaking about the tour today Nitro Circus ringleader Travis Pastrana said: “I have never toured Europe before and I am so pumped about the opportunity for us to perform live in front of huge crowds over there in so many different countries. Nitro is all about us pushing each other to the limit every night so you never know what is going to happen at one of our shows!”
Managing Director of Nitro Circus Live, Michael Porra added: “We are so excited about bringing this amazing tour to Europe for the first time and giving fans the opportunity to see the biggest names in action sports. It is the biggest production of its type to ever hit Europe with a huge cast of 35 performers. The show will completely blow your mind!”
A state-of-the-art, multi-million dollar set has been created for the European tour, which will allow the massive production to perform on successive nights in different cities throughout Europe and a one off show at the 02 in London. It is the first of its kind for an action sports event anywhere in the world and requires 10 trucks to transport the set.
