nitro circus season 1 dvd bonus – most consecutive donuts

warning
These webclips feature stunts performed either by professionals or under the supervision of professionals. MTV and the producers must insist that no one attempt any activity performed on the site.

Aside from Star Wars the most influential film from my childhood was probably Earth vs. The Flying Saucers (1956). Midway through Travis Pastrana’s attempt at breaking a Guinness Book of World Records record for the most consecutive donuts, I was suddenly swept up by a wave of late night nostalgia as the squealing tires of death sounded almost exactly like that of aliens attempting to communicate with the people of Earth. Part of me now says to screw buying the Nitro Circus Season 1 DVD and splurge on the deluxe Earth vs. The Flying Saucers two-disc special edition, but I’m guessing that would go against the company grain. Regardless, with Christmas coming up fast perhaps you can get both. Better yet, add the following other classic features to your wish list to consume the same Cold War-rich fodder that nourished creative nerd minds for decades to come: Invaders From Mars (1953), Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956), The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), This Island Earth (1955), Forbidden Planet (1956), The Thing (1951), and last but not least Invasion of the Saucer Men (1957). Don’t sleep on that last one, because the extra-awesome looking aliens don’t just terrorize humans—they inject them with alcohol! Woohoo!

photo of the day – bam margera
I've been in a very Wildboyz state of mind the past week or so—okay, I admit it, I miss Wildboyz, too, Tam—but I'm gonna break thematic stride to briefly plug the appearance of Bam Margera on this week's all-new episode of Nitro Circus on Thursday, September 24th.

Fast cars, big horsepower, and slow drawls ... if that's the geographical case then the Nitro Circus crew must be in North Carolina. What's to do in North Carolina?

nitro circus season 1 dvd bonus – the neutral flip
"Strap in, lean back, and go wide open." Is it just me or does that sound extremely suggestive? Like, when they say this DVD is "not rated" ... well ... I'm just saying.

nitro circus – the wind tunnel promo

warning

Ever since seeing Charlie almost get pureed during his candy quest through Willy Wonka’s factory, I’ve been a bit leery about entering any wind tunnel formations. But what’s curious about this wind tunnel is that there isn’t any walls! But you don’t need me to tell you that, because Travis Pastrana is gonna do just that mere seconds into the promo video. When can you see this full Nitro Circus segment? Tonight! Where can you see this full Nitro Circus segment? MTV! What time can you see this full Nitro Circus segment? 10:00pm ET/PT! How can you see this full Nitro Circus segment? With your goddamn eyes on the TV! Enough with the questions already, okay?
