Nitro Circus Live will visit Nowra for the first time next April.
Direct from sell out shows across the globe, Nitro Circus Live returns to Australia for a 14-city tour starting March next year.
Fans have the chance to see the death-defying stunts and mind-blowing tricks that have captivated sold out audiences worldwide.
Described as the most explosive live event to ever visit Nowra, Nitro Circus will take over Shoalhaven Rugby Park on Saturday, April 22.
Nitro Circus’ daredevils, the greatest action sports stars on the planet, will perform the most incredible choreographed riding routines in freestyle motocross (FMX), BMX, skate and more for a theatrical spectacular area fans have never experienced before.
Highlights include the explosive “Nitro Bomb” featuring all riders simultaneously flipping through the air. During FMX trains, riders slice and dice, wheel-to-wheel, mere inches apart before descending to earth for a smooth landing.
The (in)famous 40-foot Giganta ramp is the centerpiece of the action and launches brave riders high above the crowds while attempting another flurry of jaw-dropping tricks on ridiculous contraptions like trikes a recliner, a bathtub, rocking horse, boogie board and much more.
From humble beginnings in 2003 – with Jeremy Rawle, Gregg Godfrey and extreme sports superstar Travis Pastrana producing DVDs from a Utah garage -- to a smash TV series which has aired in over 60 countries, Nitro Circus has exploded to global popularity.
One of the stars for the planned Nowra show will be Dusty Wygle, who performs some of the most outrageous stunts.
He will tackle the “Mega-Ramp” on everything from a BMX, doing the elusive “TP roll” or “rodeo 720” all the way to boogie boards with wheels bolted to the bottom, a rocking horse on wheels and even “back flip Lazy Boys” on big wheels.
Speaking from California, he described the show as “pretty gnarly.”
“You never know what you are going to get at a show,” he said.
“You never know who will be pushing the boundaries and doing something that no one has ever done or seen before.
“We all tend to try and push each other and outdo each other.
“It makes for a pretty exciting and sometimes out there show.
“It’s two and a half hours of good old fashioned fun with some pretty gnarly things happening.”
He said most of the “outrageous stunts” come out of “mucking around with friends”.
“A lot of the ideas come from the guys just joking around,” he said.
“Trying to get each other to do something silly enough it would be amazing or an epic fail,” he said.
“They push each other to go bigger, badder and crazier and a lot of the time the ideas end up to be awesome and in the show.
“So the chances of seeing something special every show is high.
“We are all a bunch of big kids and really just come out to play.”
Tickets for the April 22 Nowra show will be on sale October 16.
