(5 stars) - there are not enough stars here
Good morning everyone, The crew of Nitro Circus are true and pure athlete's. The stunts and tricks are Amazing. Did you have a big wheel when you were kid? How fun was riding the big wheel around. Well, they have adult bike wheels. The chariot racing is a most see. You cannot go wrong with the winter show from Utah. The most amazing is the chris cross moto chaos. Thank you to Jolene, Travis, Jim, Erik, Andy, and Street Bike Tommy. You have given us hours of great viewing. Now, that season 2 has wrapped up. To Jeff, Johnny, Trip, Gregg and Travis we need season 2 on DVD ASAP, Please!

If you want to see pure athletic's. You want to see this crew perform. The following cannot hold a candle to The Nitro Crew: Lebron, Kobe, D. Jeter, A-Rod and Tom Brady.

(4 stars) - Good show
They show, albeit contrived, is pretty fun to watch, and I purchased it after watching it on TV. Basically, its what you get when MTV gives a bunch of adrenaline junkies a blank check (although they were producing this stuff before MTV).
My gripe (besides this not being available on Blu-Ray), is that the entire show is show in widescreen, however it is presented in full-screen, which means black bars that you can't shake on a widescreen tv/monitor without doing a forced zoom.

(3 stars) - This ain't your daddy's Jackass.....
I know that the precursor to Nitro Circus (i.e., the Jackass series and movies) had many segments involving scateboards and on occasion bikes. Nitro Circus, on the other hand, is mostly about scateboards, bikes, motorcycles and watercraft. The stunts are interesting but there are three problems I can see with Nitro Circus: 1) It seems like the stunts are all the same - usually involving Travis and crew riding something (bike, motorcycle, etc) down a ramp and dropping onto something. Seeing the same thing done repeatedly with minor variations gets kind of boring after a while. 2) The actors, especially Travis, appear "canned" - they almost appear to be scripted. In Jackass, you KNOW the action was totally spontaneous and improvised most of the time. With Nitro Circus, it's so damn "clean." It's like there's guy behind the camera holding up cue cards! 3) I do not ride scateboards, bicyles, motorcycles or watercraft. I cannot really relate to these guys. In Jackass, at least you can relate to how painful it must be to have a lobster bite your tongue! In Nitro Circus, I don't have the slightest clue how hard "that jump" must have been. If you're into BMX'ing and watching 20-something year olds try to outrace each other, then this might be for you. If you're the non-sporting type, you might chuckle a few times, but Nitro Circus ain't no Jackass!
