Season 1

TV Show · Sports · Action

From Jeff Tremaine and Johnny Knoxville, the producers who brought you Jackass, comes MTV's next big smash: the Nitro Circus. Travis Pastrana, the world's best freestyle motocross rider since the age of 14, has built an empire doing things previously thought impossible and always unadvisable. Whether it's jumping out of an airplane without a parachute or being the first person ever to double blackflip a motorcycle, Pastrana does not stop. Joining him in the cast are his equally insane and entertaining buddies: childhood friend and professional mountain biker Jim DeChamp, charismatic loud-mouth nemesis Andy Bell, base jumping daredevil Erik Roner, female motocross sensation Jolene Van Vugt, and husky and hysterical former sheet-rocker Streetbike Tommy. Their hilariously intense and irrational game of one-upsmanship coupled with their strong friendship makes this train wreck the most watchable show in years.

  • EPISODE 1
    Welcome to Pastrana Land
    The inaugural episode of Nitro Circus explodes at Travis Pastrana's Maryland compound, where the cast takes one-upmanship to spectacular new heights. From Travis's chute-less jump from an airplane to nemesis Andy Bell's record-setting big wheel back flip, this crew rejects all boundaries while reinventing action sports, one episode at a time.

  • EPISODE 2
    Lake Medina
    In water, on land, and in the air -- even while on vacation, the Nitro Circus never rests as sports legends Parks Bonifay and Mat Hoffman join the cast at Travis Pastrana's Texas lakefront getaway. Whether it's hydroplaning a motorcycle, drifting prestige cars or dangling from helicopter skids, this adrenaline-fueled crew never stops pushing the limit -- or each other.

  • EPISODE 3
    Las Vegas
    For the Nitro Circus crew there is zero down time in Sin City. When they're not launching motorcycles 100-feet plus in the desert or heaving themselves off a 52-story casino on the Strip, they're thinking of other ways to wreak some good old fashion havoc. And it's not just their own lives they're gambling with; the cast goes big with T.J. Lavin and brings Bam Margera to tears.

  • EPISODE 4
    Hell Compound
    Back home in the Maryland compound, Travis Pastrana and the Nitro Circus crew break out some toys of all shapes and horsepower to create new stunts and sports. From racing big wheels downhill to launching pit bikes off trampolines to attempting the first ever back flip in a monster truck, they drive, jump, and crash everything they can get their hands on.
    22m
  • EPISODE 5
    Home Sweet Home
    The crew heads back to the Utah birthplace of Nitro Circus, using the familiar rugged terrain to ride, race and wreck everything they can get their hands on. They redefine the ancient Roman chariot race with a new kind of horse-power. Then, they handcraft their own motor homes to race on a figure-eight track and Streetbike Tommy crashes a Rock Crawler. Basically, the cast creates some homecoming mayhem, Nitro-style.
    22m
  • EPISODE 6
    The Circus Heads West
    Longtime friend and pro FMX rider, Ronnie Renner, invites the Nitro crew to his California ranch, where newfound friend and show producer, Johnny Knoxville, is waiting to play a little bull croquet. In between all the madness, the cast finds time to drop in on their friend, Rob Dyrdek, at his fantasy factory. After the factory, the cast gets back to what they do best: a spectacular chaos crossover involving five motorcycles, a cab, a mountain bike, and a high-powered trophy truck.
