Nitro Circus

[arj127]

What an awseome event Really enjoyed it and i hope they come back.

[telliman]

its an awsome show eh, i was lucky enough to see the very first show in brisbane last year in an indoor venue which made the pirotechnics fuckin amazing!

[SpikedPunch]

It was really cool, favourite fmx show I've been to I think. They jumped a chilly bin, how cool is that!!
I was sooo jealous of the girl who got to backflip with Pastrana. She got to keep all that sweet gear too and she doesn't even ride....:weep:

[Jay GTI]

Was fricken awesome, loved getting to see a double backflip live. Also loved the mx whip comp, damn some of those whips were incredible...

[Tink]

ok jealous, friend went...took some amazing photos! :(:violin:

[Teava]

Been to a few Crusty Demons before, but Nitro was by far the BEST show i have ever seen!

[FlangMasterJ]

Oh man that looked sweet! I went to the Crusty's in Wellington a few years ago. Now that was good.

Anyone know if TP is going to be at Motomart in Lower Hutt?

[avgas]

avgas is going on Sat.
Nitro circus pleases avgas.

[BoristheBiter]

They can't fill the NH stadium for rugby but it's packed for Nitro Circus.

Who said people hate bikes.

[Camshaft]

it was def a good show, but i thnk the fmx was better at crusty demons for sure.
lots more novelty and wak stuff at nitro tho.

it was wiked how tht dude jumped the fence and started running around till he got tackeled by 3 guards, and was being taken away, thn streetbike tommy told the guards to let him go and walked him back into the crowd in true nitro spirit!!!

[Teava]

Man did anyone video the one handed take off to one handed whip? i think it was Mcneil, man that was ridiculous!! i tried to film it but the sun was to bright!

[arj127]

Yeah, i was prettty blown away with that too. Will have to check my missus vids and see if she got it

[Shadykiwi]

I heard a rumor he will be at motomart on a monster truck. Cant wait for the Wellington show, hope this crap weather clears up .

[4stroke]

to be honest i didnt think it was that fantastick, yes the whip comp and the double back flip was wicked along with some of the other tricks.
just my point of view, i proberly wouldnt go watch it again, would prefer to go wath the boys whip arse in romainia

[KiWiP]

I took my nephews and a couple of their mates (14-16yrs) They were blown away by it. I think they were the demographic aimed for. I never got to use my camera they hoiked it off me and filled a 4Gig card wanting to capture every moment. Real neat to see kids captivated by real action not xbox fantasy. I thought it was great entertainment (though some of the tricks were a bit samey) and would recommend it thoroughly, even for old farts like me.

[KiWiP]

forgot to post favourite pic. Not particularly good photo but the essence is thoroughly captured with 9 MX bikes flipping at the same time. Awesome!

[L Rider]

Was an awesome show. kids (5yrs & 7yrs) loved it. Atlanta (5yrs) suggested this morning that we made a ramp & get a chilly bin...

[clmintie]

you ride it,231401 you jump it

[GKTaylor]

I honestly cant believe this show was so enjoyed, the choreography was terrible, the stunts were nothing we haven't seen on their tv show (massive fan), and the constant claims of world firsts were typical american hype... The highlight was the Roller blader and the dude in the chilli-bin on the big ramp.... at least the Crustys had stripper poles and didnt have an annoying Aussie on the mic..... Yawn

[SpikedPunch]

the stunts were nothing we haven't seen on their tv show (massive fan)

What else were you expecting? (honestly curious)

[Jay GTI]

Massive part of the enjoyment for me was seeing it live. I find watching TV or youtube coverage FMX nothing like the experience of being there, smelling the (mostly) burning 2 smoke oil, marvelling at the crazy whips and flips....

[KiWiP]

nothing we haven't seen on their tv show (massive fan)
So you've seen the show and are a fan but you were expecting something different?? Duh!!!


at least the Crustys had stripper poles
It's a show for kids you dick. If you want to jerk off go to a titty bar not a family show.

All sing along...

Saw it in wellington last night - awesome! The double back-flip was mean, so was the double front flip on the bmx

I didn't even know it was on in Wellington until someone made a post yesterday. :facepalm:

Also if I had known Travis was going to be at Motomart I would have gotten my helmet signed. :facepalm::facepalm:

Awesome show, but that was a setup. Spoke to a dude at work who saw the Akl show and bingo bango.............same girl. So I'm guessing she managed to "keep" her own gear. All said an' done though yeah twas mighty. I can't even stand on my pegs.

Aw man what a rip. I did wonder if she was a plant, her acting was pretty good anyway, but I guess it's easy to act scared when you're in front of a giant crowd and about to do a backflip even if you were set up to do it!

[GKTaylor]

So you've seen the show and are a fan but you were expecting something different?? Duh!!!

Well of course I was expecting to see something different thats why we pay money to see it or we'd all sit around home and watch it on TV, just cause its live doesn't make it better, in most cases it makes it look worse, case in point.


It's a show for kids you dick. If you want to jerk off go to a titty bar not a family show.

and so was the crusty's whats your point... More kids there than at this event, in fact most kids at this event were running around playing on the grass, hardly captivated and entertained.. who said anything about jerking off and titty bar, you need help with a sick mind like that.... I'll pray for you!


All sing along...

HAHAHAHAHA, I knew it and was telling everyone that, her boots had the mark from the gear change and definately were not near new. Also what female just magically get given motorbike gear that fits first time.....

Great show though, I throughly enjoyed it. We were sitting right up the front with no one in front of us so we had an awesome view AND Malcolm came home with (tyre) rubber stuck to the side of his face....

[arj127]

Whats the point of picking holes in the show if you had a good night out?

Whos cares if the chick that did the back flip was a setup, still got you convinced at the time.

Just thinking back, funniest moment was probably the nitro crew doing the haka.

Good show, wouldn't have minded seeing it again at all

i agree with everyone else - watching it live gives it so much more perspective - personally i thought the trick trains were insane - on a dvd its like 'oh, cool - they probably did a few takes first' but live its right in front of you - ditto for double back flip.

but you do ride a quad so perspective would understandably be different for you :-)

True that, the trains were awesome, and watching two riders do backflips side by side of one take of ramp was pretty mindblowing

Its irrelevant what I currently ride to determine perspective, I dont own a Nitro Drag car or a rotary, fast 4 or stock car but I still enjoy watching them.. sometimes, sometimes they are boring, thats called an opinion.
Not everyone has the same opinion and its not for people (not yourself) who have an opposite opinion to mouth off and personally insult people who do, I stand by my opinion, be a pretty suck hole of a conformist world if everyone had the same opinion. PS KLX650 MotorX

everyone is entitled to their opinions, but i think its rather sad for someone to say that the guys who are putting their necks on the line to do stunts that have no guarantee of sucesss just because they dont bust a 'special, world first' trick just for you and your $70/90/150 ticket. personally, to see cam sinclair bust a double for $90 was some of the best money i'll ever spend - only 3 people doing that on the planet at the moment, you'd be lucky to see that for any money!

[KiWiP]

Well I am now confused because I've never been to a family show where there's been stripper poles.


who said anything about jerking off and titty bar,
Well I think I did? You are reading the same thread aren't you?:confused:

Dont worry, Travis didnt turn up to the motomart gig. Went to the Wellington show and had a great night all round. Great show, great atmosphere and by crikey some great T&A too. Some of those trains were insane, seeeing 4 bikes flip at the same time was pretty cool too. The only down side was the crash at the very end, last bike of the night and he gets a little sideways....boom. Poor fella looked pretty sore and for it to be the last jump, bummer. Cheers Nitro for a great night.

[RJM]

Great show, great atmosphere and by crikey some great T&A too.
Auckland had some serious talent too, had the sunnies on for most of the night.

Rumour has it that the chick doing the double up back flip with Trav is his partner?

His partner is skateboarder Lyn-z Adams Hawkins, who was performing at the show too, if it was her she does a good kiwi accent...

This guys was probably watching it from the parking lot!

If you are a "Massive Fan" then you should have been happy with the fact that Travis and most of the crew were there, minus Andy Bell and a couple others, but that in itself was worth the money.

I have been to every single Crusty show and they are no where near the same level as Nitro, Crusty is so far behind its a joke!

[Gone Burger]

Personally I ABSOLUTELY LOVED the show. I used to skateboard and BMX for many years and was completely amped to see all of that.

As for the motorcross.... Wow - I so want to give that a go!!! I'm new to motorcycling, and have never seen a show like this before - had no interest in it up until a year and a half ago. Now this blows me away, and I was on my feet cheering for most of the night having a blast!

Was completely envious of the girl in Wellington who got to do a back flip with travis.. would have been a moment to remember for sure.

[cambocambo]

Not sure if you guys have seen this It is the Auckland highlights http://www.nitrocircus.com/videos/0-Nitro_Circus_Live_New_Zealand_Tour_Auckland_Highli ghts-333.html?utm_source=Social%2BMedia&utm_medium=sm&utm_campaign=nitro-circus-live-highlights

Think the riding a quad line was more about the stereotype a few two-wheeler guys have, that quad riders are generally a bunch of dicks that can't ride properly and aren't too bright. So in essence your opinion would not held in high regard by certain people for this reason.

In your defence you also miss an important point. If you are entitled to voice an opinion, then in return others are allowed to do the same. If that returned opinion should be that your opinion makes you a dick, then by your own rule, it's perfectly valid to someone to express that opinion.

As for personal insults, you can take what was said about you as personal, but then it would be fair to take what you said in return as a personal insult. So if you have a problem with personal insults...

P.S. your troll skills are lame.

[Katoomer]

Well the Hamilton show was really good . Huge crowd ,apparently the biggest of the 17 shows they've done.
Levi and Travis together was a nice theme.
The BMX guy doing new double backflip hang thingys was impressive too.

I went to the Hamilton show and it was great, but the biggest of the 17 shows so far, really? I bet they say that at every venue ...

[scott411]

it is true i would say, in aussie they ran mainly indoor venues with 2 or 3 nights, prob seated around 10000 poeple,

North Habour had around 22k, and they had 25k last night, wellington had 18k

[FROSTY]

I was in Hamilton last night and by gosh everyone coming out of the show was totally amped.
BUT I just gotta ask ONE question of all those that went.
What did the "lucky" girl who got to do a jump/flip with T man look like and what did she say?
I just kinda wonder if she's a ringer

[scott411]

it was the same girl

[FROSTY]

it was the same girl
Yup thought so

[random rider]

We went to Hamilton as it clashed with the rugby 7's in Wellington when it was on in Auckland.

I know that they do possibly hype up "new tricks" etc but there is not a guaranteed result from doing these so on that basis I think that they rocked!

The trick trains were great and to see Levi Sherwood live in NZ up against Travis Pastrana was worth our tickets. :first: The crowd was totally amped and was pretty big! gotta love the "tron" and their love of Motorsports....the supercross held there in 2009 was 100% better than the one in Auckland.

After reading these threads I feel about the evil vibes I was sending the crowd girl!! We did wonder but it is part of the show so again part of the entertainment.

I have been to crusty's and now this...love them both...plenty of love to go around! :love:

[cynna]

off to see the show tomorrow night in chch - didnt realise it started so early. on the tickets it says 6pm and gates open 4.15. how on time did the show start up north was it 6pm or a bit later

may have to skip my daughters dance lesson but she wont be too happy if we have to sit round waiting for them to start.......

Early opening might be for the VIP ticket people since they do a little pre-show interview with them, at least they did in Aucks.

It started about 6:30pm in Hamilton, but it does take quite a while to get that many people in the stadium Ticket said to be there by 5:45pm.

[sil3nt]

Honestly the first half was pretty shit. Could have easily fallen asleep. They really turned it on with the trick train but the BMX'ers and MTB'ers really saved the show. Seen all the FMX tricks before so kinda hard to be impressed. Double backflip and body varial were really the only good ones. Except of course for the rubberkid Levi Sherwood. He is awesome to watch.

Jolene did sweet fuck all and wasn't even at the signing.


Probably didn't help that we were seated fairly low on the far side of the stadium so it made it harder to see and really get into it. Wish they turned off the fkn music so we could hear the bikes as well!

[random rider]

We paid the extra for the main stand tickets as been to similar events and with this type of thing one side always gets more of the action....sorry to say but the bikes sounded great!

Must admit was cool to see Jolene do a flip but as you say she had a very very limited appearance....kinda sad in that wanted to see more of what she could do.

She is hiding a nast injury or is is just recovering she broker her collarbone just before xmas

[thecharmed01]

Awesome show, but that was a setup. Spoke to a dude at work who saw the Akl show and bingo bango.............same girl. So I'm guessing she managed to "keep" her own gear. All said an' done though yeah twas mighty. I can't even stand on my pegs.

hehe yeah, she didn't have a kiwi accent neither.
Sounded Canadian to me, maybe yank, but I'd put money on Canehdia.

If you think about it, I can't imagine them risking picking a stranger to do that kind of trick with.... it would be so much safer with someone practised.
I mean, the chance for her to screw it up BAD is just way too high!
They did an awesome job of the acting with it, but there is no way she wasn't a plant.

Show was okay, I enjoyed it, but I would have rather seen more FMX stuff than all the other crap.
It was funny the randoms stuff they pulled out, like the boogie board... and chilli bin. But I think they had too much BMX and not enough FMX!

The chains were awesome, some of them got so close it was freaky to see, and the tricks I did see were wicked to see in person.
But more more more please!

[cynna]

she didnt ride at the chch show - broke her ribs or something when she crashed at the previous show

heres a few pics

[nomnomnom]

She rode in Wellys was awesome to see her backflip! she is my hero!!!! she didnt ride much tho, and i noticed her sitting down throughout the show then near the end when she walked accross the feild she was limping pretty bad. Good on her for still getting out there whilst partially injured, top effort i rekon.

And yet the very next day I saw her walking around town with no limp at all.....

:shit: she was full on hobbling at end of Nitro. At one stage she was tryin to jog and just hopping on her right leg! Maybe she was just being a wuss lol

[browny]

went to chch show last night, amazing athletes and taking nothing away from them i was slightly disapointed . the tv show is better, and i guess its pretty hard to translate into a live show. we are pretty spoilt for choice tho, its on tv and the web all the time. great to see once but would only go back with the kids when theyre old enough, theyd love it. 6.5 out of 10

[browny]
