“We have an insane group of athletes who push each other to new extremes every single show and to have the two best FMX riders in the world perform the world’s first side-by-side double grab backflips in a Nitro show, was really special.” said Porra. The loudest cheer of the night went to extreme wheelchair athlete, Aaron ‘Wheelz’ Fotheringham, who performed the first ever frontflip in a wheelchair over a 40-foot gap. The crowd leapt to their feet as Wheelz hurled himself down the Gigant-A-Ramp with pyrotechnic flames and landed with textbook accuracy.
To top it off, the live show also featured the spectacular choreographed ‘Nitro Bomb’ with 18 riders back-flipping in the air simultaneously. With demand for the tour at an all time high and off the back of the highly successful 2012 European tour, the Nitro crew will take a short break before heading overseas to perform for European fans once again. For the first time in Nitro Circus Live history, the tour will also head to North America to perform a series of shows in January, 2014.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
