#1
S2E1 8.3
Nitro City

The Circus barges the City of Angels for some urban mayhem: from getting tased by S.W.A.T. tactical instructors to back-flipping a 75-foot gap across two buildings 130 feet high...it's So Cal to the extreme!

S1E1 8.2
Welcome to Pastrana Land

The inaugural episode of Nitro Circus explodes at Travis Pastrana's Maryland compound, where the cast takes one-upmanship to spectacular new heights.

#21 S1E8 Hollywood Nitro 7.1

The Nitro crew finds itself in the heart of Hollywood with Arnold Schwarzenegger's stunt double. Their first feat: riding inside a massive steel ball of death and attempting to back flip over it.

In true Nitro style, they proceed to terrorize another Jackass star, Steve-O, who discovers he is deathly afraid of motorcycles.
