High-Flying Nitro Circus astounds audiences

Written by Yuci Tai

The gravity-defying Travis Pastrana’s Nitro Circus Live performed a thrilling, heart-pulsing action sports show last Saturday and Sunday at The Venetian Macao’s Cotai Arena.

Nitro Circus Live showcases over 40 of the world’s best action sports athletes performing daring and often record-breaking tricks in freestyle motocross, BMX and skateboarding, along with heart-stopping stunts on unique contraptions rarely attempted outside of the Nitro Circus family.

As if it isn’t difficult enough launching a motorcycle off a ramp and sailing through the air 75 feet off the ground, these daredevils performed mid-air acrobatic manoeuvres, somersaulting their bikes, swinging their legs off to the side and changing position all with precision-perfect timing before landing safely on the ground.

Coco, an audience member from Zhuhai, said, “It is a special trip to see this live show today, the high-flying synchronized bike tricks really make me not want to blink my eyes during the show.”

Mr Hu from Guangzhou said, “athletes pushing their limits and skill on skates, scooters and a range of unorthodox conveyances, including a drink cooler, Barbie car, toy trike, shopping trolley, boogie board and many more to do the performance, that’s very creative and I love it!”

Nitro Circus’ debut Australian tour became the highest grossing action sports show in Australian history with almost 120,000 tickets sold.
