nitro circus – the jet pack rocket promo

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.

I don’t think there’s a red-blooded male alive who didn’t escape the ’70s without dreaming of one day wearing a jet pack in the ’90s. Blame Gilligan’s Island, blame Brave New World, blame Ray Bradbury, blame everything and anything that painted out our future to be a sleek, metallic silver, space-age dream. Instead, all we got was the Enterweb. (Hey, that sounds like a nifty T-shirt: “I made it to the future and all I got was this lousy Facebook page.”) Anyway, while I remain here mourning the fact I have yet to be handed a one-piece silver jumpsuit to wear while using my teleportation pod, just sit right back and watch this clip, this clip of a fateful trip, that started with a janky rocket pack and … well, you’ll just have to come back for the rest tonight on MTV with the all-new episode of Nitro Circus at 10:00pm ET/PT. Deja vu?

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

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.
