Nitro Circus: The Movie Page #3

---

Aaron Fotheringham,

aka Wheelz.

He was born with spina bifida and can't walk.

If you ask him, he's not in a wheelchair,

he's just riding one.

Makes the rest of the crew feel like pussies.

It's my house.

I'm scared to death to go round this loop

and Wheelz is gonna try it on a wheelchair

and I am scared for him.

Good luck, Wheelz.

- You own this one, dude. It's good.

- Come on, buddy.

You got it, you got it. Speed, not too fast!

You got it, you got it, you got it!

- Sh*t!

- Are you okay, man?

Oh, my God.

- You are the toughest, dude.

- You are so tough.

Oh, my God...

That was like seriously the first time

I've ever seen things that are floating.

Aaron, your head.

How are you conscious right now?

Dude, you hit so hard,

I thought you were gonna start walkin'.

Yeah, Wheelz!

Wheelz, are you ready

to leave this loop behind you?

- I sure am. This thing broke my heart.

- What are you doing with that?

Oh, no, no, Wheelz! No, it's my loop!

You're not setting that thing on fire!

All right, Tom P.,

you have always wanted to get some respect,

somehow, some way, as a real athlete.

Yeah.

You're gonna begin

your freestyle motocross career today.

Awesome.

- What are you gonna do?

- I don't know, whatever comes natural.

Buckle it up.

Oh, boy.

Consider this try-outs for the Vegas show,

so don't screw it up.

Okay.

Ow, f***! Ow, f***!

Ow, ow, ow, ow.

My ankle's f***ed!

We got you, Tom P.

That is a man!

Hey, Wheelz,

why has it gotta be an ankle, man?

This has to support this.

You know what I'm sayin'?

- Couldn't have been a finger?

- Yeah.

All right, guys, this is

the tallest, steepest BMX ramp that we have.

Jim, you want to calculate this ramp for us?

Not gonna do my math calculations.

I'm goin' no pedals, no brakes,

and just goin' with how big the hill is.

I really think that's about right.

Nice knowing you, Jim.

He's goin' so fast.

Good grief.

- Giraffe neck down.

- Oh, my God!

Giraffe neck down.

Jim sort of needs a little more coaxing,

especially if it's out of his comfort zone.

And he kind of gets guilted into like,

"Yo, I can do it. I wanna be...

"I can do it, too, I can do it, too,"

and then some catastrophic thing.

If you hit absolutely perfect, I think

you have a 2% chance, good luck.

Two?

But he's goin' really fast.

Too fast, too fast.

I even thought I was goin'...

My judgement these days is way off.

I always think I gotta do it faster.

He's a real wild card

and he gets great footage.

Getting ready to jump the Big Wheel

at way too fast of a speed.

Holy sh*t!

What's a Big Wheel? Okay, it's a kid's toy.

They must be the best put together

Big Wheels ever.

Like, these guys are jumping them at least

and landing no problem.

Like, it doesn't make sense.

I think the only way that I would be able

to get the feeling is if I had...

If I had to try to ride the trike.

Which I don't wanna do, Travis, so f*** off.

All right, guys, over the past three years,

the most elusive trick

that we have not been able to do,

is the double back flip on trikes.

This has turned into a mission.

We have a launch ramp.

We have Mount Mulchmore,

and today is the day that we beat this trick!

All right, hands in! "Nitro" on three.

One, two, three, Nitro!

I'm the guinea pig. I got the short straw.

You know how that works.

We got a long day ahead of us,

so let's get to work! Fire one!

Oh, boy.

No, no, no, no.

No idea what to change from

what Special did, but, can hope for the best.

- Fire two!

- Fire two!

Yeah, Dusty!

Go!

It's gonna happen! It's gonna happen today!

It's happening today!

Today is the day

that history's gonna be made!

A double flip on a Big Wheel is goin' down!

You just gave them a glimpse

of the great white buffalo.

Who's up next?

Hi, Mom. You proud of me?

Fire three!

Fire 10!

Come on, baby!

- Get the blue mat!

- Blue mat!

- Get the blue mat!

- Blue mat!

Fire 11!

Fire 11!

Come on, come on, come on.

Dang. He's out.

- I just got a calf cramp, give me a second.

- You got a calf cramp?

You landed on your face

and you got a calf cramp.

Yeah.

This has been an absolute bear of a trick.

We've had all the top trike riders come out,

all to Maryland to do a double flip.

Everybody has thrown down their best.

Everybody's been concussed,

everyone's been hurt.

Dusty's taken the hardest hits.

And Dusty's goin' back up

'cause he's the only one of us

that's even close to doin' this thing.

So, fingers crossed for him that he can ride

out of this thing in eternal glory in Nitro.

So, this one's really been a tough one.

I hope I just land this one

so I can go in the pool.

Dusty Wygle.

Dusty is a new recruit to the Nitro Circus.

"Fresh meat" as they say.

Yeah, boy!

He's dripping with talent

and still nave enough to try anything

the older members say.

He'll definitely work in the live show.

Fire 12!

Yeah!

Yeah, you got it!

Yeah!

This was why we all came

to Maryland.

This was the trick, the stunt,

the fun day that we all wanted to have

and you conquered it, man.

Hose me down, dress me up,

let's go out tonight.

Get so excited about being

the world's first double on a Big Wheel

when it's just you and your friends that do it.

No one else, no one else in the world.

You're claiming,

"Boy, this is the greatest day of our lives"

because it's like,

four of you have ever even tried to do it

and you're the only ones

with these highly modified,

next-level Big Wheels, okay?

So it's yours to own forever

because no one's ever gonna do it.

All right, Hubert,

somebody's gotta stick that landing.

We've got all that mulch.

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking me and a four-wheeler

and extra ramp equals success.

- Good luck. Nitro Circus! Representin'.

- Red Nek Power.

Hubert Rowland,

everybody's favourite redneck.

Straight from the back woods of Tennessee,

he's handy with anything

from a wrench to a tractor.

He builds the stunts for the rest of the crew,

and makes a mean batch of moonshine.

Come on, Hubert!

- Is he coming?

- Here he comes.

Holy crap.

Yeah!

Yes!

- Whoo!

- Is he out?

Dude, I had no idea you were trying to have

the quad ride you instead of you ride it.

Right now, the mulch pile is winning.

Yeah, it's kicking ass

and it don't care whose name you are.

I'll be honest.

Don't try to straight edge. Just flip that baby.

The fact that he stepped up to do this,

I'm nervous for the guy.

Well, here he comes.

Commit, commit, commit, commit.

Oh, my shoulder. Yeah, it hurts so bad.

Get me on the floor. Get me on the ground.

Hubert, I'm so proud of you!

- Is it out?

- Hold on, his shoulder's out.

Yeah, his shoulder's out.

Could we get a shoulder back in

with a side of relish, please.

You know what, I don't think it is.

Are you sure his arm's not broken?

- Put it down!

His arm might be broken.

Hubert, I think you're just shocked

that you were so amazing right there.

Another guy that has no business doing
