"NITRO CIRCUS LIVE"


BIO:
Nitro Circus is a television show centered around the world’s greatest freestyle motocross rider Travis Pastrana and his crew of top action sport athlete buddies.There is a special chemistry with this group. Whether they are trying to double back?flip a motorcycle, jump out of a plane without a parachute, or flip a Big Wheelover a 70?foot gap, these guys are going hard 24/7 and there is no downtime—it’s just fast and faster. The show follows Travis and the Nitro Circus Crew as they travel around the world setting up outrageous stunts and pushing the human body to the limit, constantlylooking to innovate the world of action sports. Travis’ compound in Annapolis houses a full motocross course, foampits and a homemade waterslide carved into a hill creating a self contained extreme sports circus. Whether they are base jumping, sky diving, riding, driving or relaxing, this groupof adrenaline?fueled friends always take the action "to eleven" with the hammer down. Travis Pastrana is to motor sports, as Harry Potter is to the wizarding world. But Travis actually exists. Sorry nerds. Hailed by many to be near Deity, Travis Pastrana is without a doubt one of the greatest athletes of this century. His vast list of achievements make Neil Armstrong (walked on Moon) feel like a failure. He won his first X-games gold medal at age 15! Most 15 year old boys are annoying and suck, Travis was neither annoying, nor did he suck. Being the child prodigy that he was, he didn’t slow down, he went on and became the adult prodigy that he is today. His greatness doesn’t stop with motorcycles either, he has claimed numerous records and titles on four wheels as well. From Rally Cars to Nascar and monster trucks, Travis dominates them all. He even back flipped a toy Big Wheel on a 75 ft. mega ramp. For Travis, Nitro Circus is just a reflection of his wickedly fast and insane lifestyle. As the ring leader of the crew, Travis is often the bar setter and just his presence alone inspires others to go bigger, faster, and more frenzied. Who can’t help but be inspired when you see a guy bust out the first ever double back flip on a motorcycle, or watch him miraculously learn to walk again after a spinal trauma injury only seen twice before in medical history. It seems like everyone around Travis seems to rise to the occasion and make the impossible a reality. As much time as Travis spends high in the air above the rest of us, his unique, uncommon, and maybe even most impressive trait is his natural ability to stay grounded. With as much recognition and exposure that Travis has been given, it is truly amazing the way he is able to stay like-able, upbeat, and the friendliest guy you have ever met. Like he says “what you see is what you get”, not a fake artificially inflated public icon. He really loves his millions of fans, and anyone who is fortunate enough to meet him knows that. So kids, if you want to be like Travis, don’t be annoying and stupid. Nitro Circus and the world are lucky to be part of such a unique and talented individual. The only difference between Greg Powell and the rest of us mediocre guys is when his mom told him he was special, he didn’t make her a liar. Greg has a ridiculous ability to be exceptional at just about everything, hence his nickname “Special Greg”. Growing up Special played more conventional sports like soccer, but it just so happens that he is the cousin of the one and only Travis Pastrana. As a kid when he would visit his cousin, Travis, together they would raise hell and push the limits of extreme action sports. Special said himself he can’t believe some of the things they did. Crazy things that would probably make any woman cringe with motherly instinct. But Special took a little different route in life than his cousin Travis. He proceeded to do the college thing where he earned his degree in Kinesiology at the University of Maryland. Oh, and he played Division 1 collegiate football as a wide receiver and special teams player. Being one of the strongest guys on the team, it was reported his 187 lb. frame could squat 525 lbs. That’s so much weight that when Chuck Norris attempted the same feat, he ended up with a hernia, a dismantled ego, and a lost endorsement from the Total Gym. Special even plays the flute. Take that Chuck. Even though Special Greg Powell wasn’t completely raised on extreme sports like his cousin, since he has joined the Nitro crew, he has made plenty of waves in the action sports world. One of his most extraordinary stunts is what he calls the “special flip”, where on a BMX bike while in the air he completely loses all contact with the bike while doing a body varial and then somehow manages to grab the bike and get back on and ride away. Even the great BMX rider Matt Hoffman looked on with wide eyes and a hanging jaw when he first saw a failed attempt. With his massive loads of confidence and talent, Special Greg Powell brings a high degree of charisma and energy to the Nitro crew that is second to none. He embodies everything that we stand for here at Nitro Circus. He really is one special dude. For Jolene the X-chromosomes must not only account for the fact that she is a girl, but must also be an X-treme gene woven into her DNA, which she most likely inherited from her Father Bill and older brother Billy who both were dirt bike riding enthusiasts. Good genes might also have something to do with her ability to turn heads on and off a dirt bike. Despite her childhood aspirations of owning a daycare or her mother’s desires for her to be a ballerina, she has forgone all other less dangerous and sissy pursuits to become the extreme Canadian princess she is today. Earning the respect of Travis and the rest of the Nitro crew is no small task for anyone, but Jolene has proved time and time again that even though she may not be one of the dudes, she is more daring and fearless than 99.9% of the world male population. Not only was Jolene the first female to back flip a full-sized dirt bike, she also back flipped off a ramp into the Grand Canyon. A stunt that would make Chuck Norris soil himself in shame. Her passion for crazy and insane activities has also made her highly successful in the WMA (Womens Motocross Association) and the CMRC(Canadian Motosport Racing Corporation). Accomplishments in these arenas and others has developed her into a world-class motocross diva and has molded her into a perfect fit for the Nitro crew. With a need for balance in all things, the Circus is no exception. Jolene brings that much needed equilibrium to the chaotic Nitro crew. Through the stench of grease, mud, and gasoline from the guys, you might just catch the delightfully sweet aroma that is Jolene. Come take a sniff and see why she has captured the hearts of the crew and millions of other guys and gals around the world.
