The Circus is Coming to The States



After a year's worth of shows in Australia and New Zealand, the Nitro Circus Team announced they're adding stops in Europe and North America to their 2011 Nitro Circus Live schedule. The debut in the states will start with a one-off show in Las Vegas this coming June, which they say will be their biggest.

"If you can go to one show, Vegas will be the one," says ringleader Travis Pastrana. "We're building new contraptions and coming up with stunts and tricks no one has tried before." The Vegas show will also be the only show filmed for the Nitro Circus 3-D film, which begins production in April and is set for release in 2012.

"We're putting together the best show we can dream up," says FMX rider Cam Sinclair, who performs the double backflip at each of the shows. "Travis and I are planning something really exciting for Vegas."

Selling out that show seems like a no-brainer. Vegas is home to the season-ending AMA Supercross race each May, which draws sell-out crowds of 40,000 and is where riders from Evel Knievel to Mike Metzger to Robbie Maddison have gone to perform their biggest stunts. It's also home to six Cirque du Soleil shows and legions of dirt bike riders and action sports fans.
