MTV2 today announced that the all-new fourth season of "Nitro Circus Live" will premiere with two back-to-back 30 minute episodes on Wednesday October 8, 2014 at 11:00 p.m. ET/PT on MTV2. Watch a FIRST LOOK of the new season below. Additionally, "Nitro Circus: The Movie" will make its world television premiere on MTV2 on Wednesday October 1 at 11:00 p.m. ET/PT.

For the first time, the TV series descends upon the birthplace of Nitro Circus: the U.S.A. The crew doesn't disappoint the HOMELAND audience, bringing high adrenaline, heart-pounding action and larger than life personalities. Travis Pastrana, NITRO CIRCUS founder, ringleader and 10-time X Games gold medalist, leads the crew as they kick off the tour with a heart-stopping show in historic Boston and sell out the crown jewel of arenas: Madison Square Garden in New York City. The rest of the season, which includes eight total episodes, will take the audience on an up-close and personal look into the adventures and lives of the most colorful characters on the NITRO CIRCUS tour as they travel throughout NORTH AMERICA and Europe.

"We are so pumped to have a whole new season of NITRO CIRCUS LIVE on MTV2. This show just seems to keep getting bigger every single season, and I can guarantee you that these episodes will blow everyone away," says Travis Pastrana. "American fans will love this season because we finally bring it back to where it all began, with all the behind the scenes footage from our first ever U.S. tour."

"In this season, the Nitro crew shows us that no matter where they are in the world, they never miss an opportunity to have fun, push the limits and live life to the fullest," said Paul Ricci, Senior Vice President, Head of Development and Production for MTV2.

In "Nitro Circus: The Movie," Pastrana and his tight-knit, highly-skilled, adrenaline-addicted friends bring their impossible, ridiculous, insane and hysterical adventures to the big screen for the first time. Dreaming up the most dangerous stunts in the world of action sports - whether they are trying to back flip a bike over a building 60-stories high or landing a death defying jump while playing Angry Birds - Pastrana and his gang are always at it.

The NITRO CIRCUS LIVE tour 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. Featuring the stars of Nitro Circus' hit MTV2 show and NITRO CIRCUS 3D film, the tour is headed up by Pastrana, a 10-time X Games gold medalist in Freestyle MOTOCROSS who has also become a fixture on the NASCAR, Supercross and rally racing circuits.

Originally a small DVD series filmed in Pastrana's Maryland backyard, NITRO CIRCUS grew into a successful MTV show broadcast in 60 countries worldwide. The next step was NITRO CIRCUS Live, which has captured the imagination of fans worldwide with a string of sell-out shows and record-breaking crowds across Europe, Australia and New Zealand. The tour is a fully choreographed action sports spectacular combining big stunts and outrageous feats on an array of contraptions launched off NITRO CIRCUS Live's multi-million dollar set and famous 50-ft. Nitro Gigant-A-Ramp.

"Nitro Circus Live" is executive produced by Chris McCarthy, Paul Ricci and Myra Santiago for MTV2. Travis Pastrana, Gregg Godfrey, Jeremy Rawle and Michael Porra are executive producers for NITRO CIRCUS LIVE PTY, LTD, with Trip Taylor and Bobby Pura executive producing for The Uprising Film and Television.

From humble beginnings, with Jeremy Rawle, Gregg Godfrey and extreme sports superstar Travis Pastrana producing DVDs from a garage in Utah in 2003, NITRO CIRCUS has exploded to global popularity, leaving a burning impression on the minds of young people across the planet.

The original DVD series was a smash hit, with Travis and his crew of outrageous buddies performing skillful but insane stunts on a range of contraptions. In 2009, NITRO CIRCUS partnered up with MTV to create a smash hit new TV series, which aired in 60+ countries over two seasons and was one of MTV's most popular series of all time.

Then, in 2010, the show was transformed by current CEO and action sports industry veteran Mike Porra, creating the global phenomenon that is NITRO CIRCUS Live. Since the inaugural tour of Australia four years ago, the show has travelled the globe, obliterating box office records and cultivating a legion of diehard fans. The tour has now rolled across five continents, with sold-out shows in Australia, New Zealand, China, the United States, Canada, South Africa, and all across the European Continent. With close to 100 shows pencilled in globally for 2015, NITRO CIRCUS has a firm grip on the title of the World's most successful action sports touring brand.
