Stunt show promises high octane thrills

A HIGH-octane show described as “the world's greatest action sports show” is set to bring thills and spills to South Yorkshire this summer.

Motorbike stunt show Nitro Circus revs into Sheffield’s Bramall Lane ground on June 18.

The show brings together the best risers in freestyle motocross (FMX), BMX and more unite for a spectacular all-new production.

It stars 17-time X Games medalist Travis Pastrana and will feature unbelievable new tricks, record-breaking feats, insane stunts and the crazy contraptions plus a whole new repertoire of daredevil fun.

Also showcasing their skills will be the world’s first triple backflipper Josh Sheehan, 2015 X Fighters champion Clinton Moore, Australian X Games gold medalists Blake “Bilko” Williams and Cam Sinclair, plus American superstar Adam Jones.

Matty and Emma McFerran, the world’s first brother and sister tandem FMX duo, will also be aiming to blow away the crowds with jaw dropping duel tricks like the aerial position swap.

On the BMX side, the legendary James Foster — one of only two riders to have ever landed a triple backflip and the only one regularly attempting it today — will perform.

Fans can expect even more BMX madness from Todd Meyn, Kurtis Downs and dual-threat Ryan “R-Willy” Williams, who recently rocked the action sports world with his jaw-dropping triple frontflip on BMX.

A host of outrageous contraptions, including trikes, a tall bike, a lazy boy recliner, a body board and more, will launch 50-feet in the air.

For its latest event Nitro is going really retro, with the entire performance choreographed and styled as a 1920s three-ring circus based on an abandoned, derelict Big Top.

Tickets start at £31.90 and are available from www.nitrocircus.live.
