Nitro Circus World Games – Triple Jump Explained
With the Nitro Circus‘ “Nitro World Games” contest going down in July, we’re starting to see more previews of what’s to come. Today, they released a little video explaining the format and scoring of their triple jump contest. It seems fairly straight forward, but we’re still a little confused on just how it all will go down. Either way, it should be interesting.
“The world’s best BMX and skate athletes will throw down their biggest tricks this July at Rice-Eccles Stadium.”

Ryan Guettler – My First Nitro Circus Show
Ever wondered what it’s like to do a Nitro Circus show? Well, you’re about to find out because Ryan Guettler had the chance to do a show and documented the trip from the last minute flight to the crazy riding. Take a look!
“Just when I thought I was going to have a chill week I got a phone call from The Nitro Circus boys asking if I’d like to ride 2 shows in Reno. I’d never been in a show before and I couldn’t turn this one down so I agreed and the next morning my fiancé and I were at the airport checking in.
Come behind the scenes as I do my best to hang with all the crew of the nitro circus. Who are now Featuring 30 of the world’s best extreme sports athletes in freestyle motocross, BMX and anything you can imagine with wheels! Plus a host of ridiculous contraptions being launched 50ft into the air, by the crazy Nitro daredevils.
My biggest highlights on tour included hanging around such a positive group of athletes pushing each other to progress. The energy was at an all time high.
It was so amazing riding in front of 10,000 people. Good vibes.
Winning a quick $30 on the 30 min layover in Vegas
Hanging out with Zac Warden for a few days he is really kiiling on these ramps and pushing him self so hard in practice. His goal is this years Xgames and I hope all his hard work gets him another gold medal.
Waving the Aussie flag with Jake Brown. Badass Aussie skater still got fire in his blood. Good chat mate!
Riding in the memory of Eric Roner.
He is one of the original Nitro members who past away. We were in his home town amoung his friends and family. No one held back that night!!!
Such an amazing show,
Thank you again Nirto circus.”
