nitro circus on mtv.com – helmet cam craze

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to see what any of the Nitro Circus cast see when they’re in the midst of a successful stunt or flailing yard sale? Now you can over on MTV.com, where they’ve posted an array of exclusive helmet cam shots from the recent “Go Big or Go Foam” episode, starring the POVs of Special Greg and his cameraman mishap, Erik Roner’s heroic base jump at Magic Mountain, Andy Bell’s tricycle dirt jump cartwheels, and Travis Pastrana’s bird’s eye view of the monster Red Bull ramp/billboard.

Now here's something you don't get to do every day (even if you are some fancy-pants Hollywood production), but it certainly helps when you know friends who know friends in high places

nitro circus – the wing-walking promo
When it comes to old school stunts, this is about as Wright brothers as it gets. Well, actually I'm entirely wrong in saying that, because ol' Wilbur and Orville never even tried any shenanigans like this.

nitro circus season 1 dvd bonus – nitro luge
Curiously, when I went to enter the title on this post I first called it "Nitro Lube." I don't believe they've filmed anything quite like that yet, but we can all hope, can't we? It is a Dickhouse production, after all.

nitro circus – behind the scenes at the swat training camp

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.

Prior to cutting to the taser chase that day at the SWAT training camp (actually, I don’t think it was SWAT per se, but I can’t remember exactly what it was … must have been something official, though, seeing as they had all the cool non-consumer grade toys), the cast of Nitro Circus had to first go through some really basic steps. And by basic, I mean like playing with BB guns. Okay, semi-automatic BB guns, but still. Those orange-red muzzle tips really drag down the gnar-gnar factor. Anyway, come along as Rick Kosick shows you some of the stuff you didn’t see (as well as some stuff you did see) during this segment when it aired on “Nitro City“, the debut second season episode of Nitro Circus.

nitro circus – “hydro circus,” the complete second episode
Slippery when wet. You can take that as a reference to a landmark Bon Jovi album for anthemic drunken sing-a-longs or the second episode from the second season of Nitro Circus, "Hydro Circus."

nitro circus promo – the airplane crossover
Through no great leaps or bounds of the juvenile imagination, I'm guessing that Travis may have grown up with the occasional name of "Pastrami" being thrown his way in moments of mockery.
