The show is mostly about Travis Pastrana, professional action sports athlete, and his friends doing the craziest stunts known to man.  They do things that the rest of the world would never even think of doing.

 Members Travis Pastrana, a pro action sport athlete, was the first to ever do a double back flip with a motorcycle at the X-games in 2006. Andy Bell is a washed-up motorcycle rider. Jolen Van Vugt is a pro women motocross racer. Jim DeChamp is a pro mountain biker. Erik Roner is a pro skier and base jumper, and Streetbike Tommy is a construction worker who lives next to Travis.

A handful of the stunts that the crew do are skydiving without a parachute, having a big wheel back flipping contest, and even trying to do a back flip with a two ton monster truck.  And they are only getting started.

The Nitro Circus also has special guest appearances ranging from Johnny Knoxville, executive producer of the Nitro Circus and a participant of a past MTV show “Jackass,” to the more athletic appearances of Rob Dyrdek, a pro skateboarder from another MTV show “Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory” and a past MTV show entitled “Rob and Big.”

I strongly recommend this show to any teenager or adult who likes to see crazy, incredible stunts, and who loves to see people crash and go big.

 Be warned that the stunts preformed on Nitro Circus are preformed by or under the supervision of professionals. No one should attempt to recreate or reenact the stunts preformed on Nitro Circus.
