I used to be a huge motocross and Supercross fan, mostly because of Travis Pastrana. I was there for his debut professional race in Indianapolis in 1999 when he was just 16 years old, and was immediately hooked by his incredible sense of style and showmanship. Of course, I already knew a bit about Pastrana from his freestyle performances during the X Games and Gravity Games, so I was just as excited as everyone else to see what he would do in the Supercross series.
Pastrana didn’t disappoint fans, going on to win a 125 SX championship as well as a 125 MX championship before injuries forced him to end his racing career far too early. That didn’t mean Pastrana was done with extreme sports, however. He soon went into rally racing, and has also become known as essentially a daredevil, attempting such stunts as jumping his dirt bike across the Grand Canyon or going skydiving without a parachute. Yeah, crazy.
And all these crazy antics are now chronicled on an MTV show called the Nitro Circus. I’ve never seen the show because I try to stay away from MTV as much as possible, but I just found the Nitro Circus Season One DVD set over at Buy.com. This would be the perfect way for me to catch up on Pastrana’s doings and see some incredible stunts as well. This DVD set contains all 12 episodes from Season One, as well as more than 150 minutes of bonus features, including deleted scenes, outtakes, interviews, and unaired stunts.
The Nitro Circus Season One DVD set is on sale for just $15.84 at Buy.com, which is cheaper than I’ve seen at other stores. That makes this purchase a no-brainer, really. Can’t wait to see what this show is all about!
