Los Angeles - Nitro Circus founder,
ringleader and world-class athlete Travis Pastrana will bring Nitro Circus Live
(www.nitrocircuslive.com)--the
action sports spectacle that has become a worldwide hit--to the U.S. and Canada for the first time in
January 2014.
Nitro
Circus Live showcases more than 40 of the world's best action sports athletes
performing daring and often record-breaking tricks in freestyle motocross, BMX
and skateboarding, along with heart-stopping stunts on unique contraptions
rarely attempted outside of the Nitro Circus family.
Featuring
the stars of Nitro Circus' hit MTV2 show and Nitro Circus 3D film, the tour is
headed up by Pastrana, a 10-time X Games gold medalist in Freestyle Motocross
who has also become a fixture on the NASCAR, Supercross and rally racing
circuits. Tickets for eight cities go on pre-sale to the general public Friday,
May 24. Tickets can be purchased through www.nitrocircuslive.com.
"This
tour is the biggest and most audacious action sports production ever staged," says
Pastrana. "This is truly an exciting, adrenaline-charged, live action sports
show featuring an insane group of athletes who push each other to new extremes
every single show."

Originally
a small DVD series filmed in Pastrana's Maryland
backyard, Nitro Circus grew into a successful MTV show with more than 46
million U.S.
viewers and broadcast in 60 countries worldwide. The next step was Nitro Circus
Live, which has captured the imagination of fans worldwide with a string of
sell-out shows and record-breaking crowds across Europe, Australia and New Zealand. "I'm so pumped we can
finally bring this home for fans to enjoy," says Pastrana.
Nitro
Circus Live's fully choreographed action sports spectacular combines big stunts
and outrageous feats on an array of contraptions launched off Nitro Circus
Live's multi-million dollar set and famous 50-ft. Nitro Gigant-A-Ramp. "Fans
can expect to see everything from kids' trikes, snow skis, tandem bikes and
razor scooters to shopping carts, a Barbie car and even a cooler launched with
skill off the Gigant-A-Ramp," says Pastrana. "The live show also features
spectacular choreographed freestyle motocross riding, including the outrageous
`Nitro Bomb' with 20 riders back-flipping in the air at the same time."

"Nitro
Circus Live sold out the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. We saw standing ovations there and
at every stop on last year's European tour; we broke ticket sale records in Australia and were the highest selling tour in New Zealand in
2011, beating AC/DC and U2," said Managing Director of Nitro Circus Live,
Michael Porra. "We can't wait to bring our crazy antics to cities across North America."
