Nitro Circus Live will return to South Africa
Nitro World Games has revitalized action sports. Mind-blowing feats like unprecedented FMX double front flip and 1080 BMX front flip have pushed riders to heights few thought possible. With breakthrough ramp technology, new judging and scoring formats, plus open qualifying, this is a complete reboot of action sports competition.
The brainchild of action sports legend Travis Pastrana and Nitro Circus Creative Director and CEO Mike Porra, the event is a culmination of decades of experience and years of research, planning, testing, and polishing. The event condenses more action into one night than you’ll see all year, with competitions in FMX, BMX, skate, inline, and scooter all going down within one massive show that sees seven champions crowned during its three-hour run.
Nitro Circus Live will return to South Africa this summer, with the high-adrenaline tour. The global action sports phenomenon will bring an all-new show with them, filled with unbelievable world firsts, spectacular tricks and mind-blowing stunts. Adding even more to the excitement, action sports icon Travis Pastrana, who wasn’t able to take part in the 2014 trek, will join this summer’s tour, and will ride in South Africa for the first time. A full list of 2017 dates is below.
Presented by KFM, 947, East Coast Radio, Supersport and Channel 24. Another Big Concerts Experience.
