Over the past few years, Travis Pastrana and his Nitro Circus crew have taken off as some of motor-cross's top performers. Their highflying shenanigans are considered by many to be the modern version of the legendary Evil Knievel. In recent news, the circus confirmed an upcoming performance in April. However, the group was recently criticized by a multitude of fans after a show was rained out and refunds were blatantly denied. The show was supposed to have lasted 2 hours, but weather complications caused organizers to call it quits after only 45 minutes.
As most of you know, Nitro Circus is the brainchild of the legendary Travis Pastrana. Before his time as motor-junkie, Pastrana actually played quarterback for the University of Maryland.
After graduating, the superstar pursued his passion of motor-sports. Since then, he has stacked one the most impressive list of accomplishments ever seen.
He has excelled in many different types of racing, and his diverse set of skills seems to grow everyday. In the end, though, he made his climb to superstardom with the popular MTV show Nitro Circus.
Now, Pastrana and his Nitro buddies are known across the world, and fans can't seem to get enough.
According to a report by Daily Mercury, another live performance is set to take place:
"DEATH-DEFYING motorcycle stunts will hit Stadium Mackay in April...Nitro Circus is bringing its band of crazy cats for the action-packed extravaganza...The show is the brainchild of action star Travis Pastrana.
