Nitro Circus

Nitro Circus, making its way to town Tuesday, offers an opportunity to witness electrifying stunts performed by world-class athletes and daredevils. The show features some of the world’s top stuntmen in freestyle motocross, BMX, skate, scooter and beyond. 

Adam Jones, the most decorated freestyle motocross athlete of all time, will attempt a 75-foot backflip through a 35-foot wall of fire. Turning back time to the earlier days of circus entertainment, Ryan Bean will attempt a high-dive off a 40-foot ramp and into a 3.5-foot body of water.
