Nitro Circus

Anthony's brother, Skye, works for APX Alarms, and they were hosting an end of the year party for employees and their family and friends. Skye scored some extra tickets to the event, which included Nitro Circus as the entertainment. For those of you who don't know what Nitro Circus is (and I didn't either before this!), it was actually a televsion show on MTV that featured a bunch of guys doing tricks and stunts on BMX and FMX bikes. So Nitro Circus was the entertainment for the APX party, and the guys did not disappoint. There were 15,000 people at the party, and somehow we scored front row seats! I was so close that the exhaust from the bikes was blowing in my face (too close for my liking, but still fun!). The show opened with all the riders sky diving out of a plane 5,000 feet above the crowd, and then they landed and jumped onto their bikes. It was so cool, and I don't even really like this sport ha












So, the famous rider of Nitro Circus is Travis Pastrana. I didn't know who he was, but I saw some people taking pictures of this guy, so I thought it was Travis Pastrana.











Turns out, that ain't him! I was taking pictures of the wrong guy. Travis is actually this guy...

He is a very good rider, and does some of the craziest tricks. The night consisted of tons of stunts, tricks, races, and people getting hurt. They had one APX employee try and do a back flip on a bike...not a pretty picture. The poor guy did NOT make the flip, and he hobbled off the track.










The Jazz Bear even attened the party. They towed him on a line all the way around the track and he did some jumps on a BMX bike. That upped cool points for the Jazz--they need cool points.



It was a great night out with my hubby. Afterwards we went to Smashburger--delish burgers. Little Isaiah fell asleep as soon as we sat down.
