Nitro Circus: The Movie Page #7

by a jellyfish right now, honestly.

You gotta give it to Jim, though.

A, going first.

B, on a bike that weighed

twice as much as my bike weighed.

And C, he didn't have

all the goofy lookin' hockey pads.

He just frickin' pinned it.

And he's a durable son of a gun

'cause he landed flat on his face.

And he's still alive.

Thank you, Jim, again.

I think a lot of times you just

never expect the worst case scenario.

Hey, Tommy.

Ever since I've seen this stunt in

an old spy movie, I've wanted a piece of it.

- Where'd you get your instructions?

- The Internet.

We're totally safe.

They don't have fear. They just don't...

They're scared of stuff, but in their minds,

they only think about making it.

They never think of

what's gonna happen if they don't.

When it comes to

something like flipping that car,

what you guys are doing is mega sketchy.

If you guys land on your wheels, I'll go nuts.

I don't think you're going to, though.

Just sayin'.

We're the two

dumbest people in this car right now

Two dumbest people in this car right now

My heart's nervous for them!

I'm nervous as sh*t right now.

All right, here we go!

Yeah!

- Oh, boy.

- Moment of truth.

More speed, more speed, more speed...

No!

Oh, sh*t, oh, sh*t, oh, sh*t!

Jim, you all right? Jim?

Are you okay?

Jim, we're comin'. Stay still, buddy.

We need to cut him out of this car.

Let's bring him to the ground here

and we'll strap him in.

We're dealing with something

possibly with his neck,

so we gotta be really

gentle as possible, okay?

We're taking care of you, pal,

you're gonna be all right.

Getting you to the hospital.

You're all set.

We need to check you out.

Nice work, everybody.

The difficult part for any athlete

is that you have a crash.

If you're scared of that stuff

and you think about it...

When that deal happened out there with Jim,

we were all scared

and everybody was worried about him.

He's hurt.

He's really hurt.

He's in a situation that most of us

could be in and dread.

Even when it does go wrong,

these guys are mentally so strong.

You know, when it goes bad, it goes

bad. There's nothing you can do about it.

When you fall down, you gotta get up

and brush the dust off and go for it again.

You can't quit.

Good morning, Panama.

Yet another day of Nitro Circus

and we are gap-jumping

tricycles and bikes over 400-foot buildings.

I just remember the last shoot that we did

when the Big Wheels fell apart, and

the first guy that went down, the tyre fell off.

Second guy that went down, the

handlebars actually went all the way down.

Dusty went down, the bicycle went down,

and then we had a flat tyre.

We've come a long way since then.

- Yeah, that was five days ago.

This is so stupid!

God, this was such a better idea on paper.

Everyone's a little worried about safety.

Jeremy and I decided we'd check and see

what the worst case scenario might look like,

just to put everyone's mind at ease.

Bombs away!

And launch her.

Oh, God! Holy sh*t.

Oh, my...

Oh, my God!

Seems perfectly safe if anything goes wrong.

Why is it everything that we do that's deadly

also has to be sketchy?

You think if it's deadly,

it would be a perfect setup, but it's not.

It's always stupid.

All right, Spec, come help me.

We all concur that he's so scared

of not making the gap,

which, granted, that's death,

that he's going to go too far,

in which case, that's just a broken back, so...

So he's gettin' a push by Special Greg.

It's a long way down.

I hope he'll make it.

All right, Erik. Three, two, one.

Hold on, hold on...

- You okay?

- You all right?

- That was the biggest jump ever.

- Oh, my God!

Man, that was so high and so far.

Fill it up again!

Hey, if you're gonna flip,

then just go ahead and flip it.

If you're not gonna flip,

then we're roshamboing.

I'd rather see me crash

than you crash.

No, we're gonna land this.

I'd rather see me land than you land.

I'd rather see me land than you land,

so we'll roshambo

for who gets the privilege...

I'm already over here!

All right, well just jump

and meet me over here.

We'll have a cocktail later.

- All right.

- Good luck.

See, that's what you call reverse psychology.

I definitely did not want to flip.

I'm scared shitless even trying to jump.

That worked, that worked great.

Couldn't have asked for anything better.

Thanks, Greg.

So the plan is

to go twice as high and twice as far.

- Is that the plan?

- That'll do better for you.

That'll work, right?

All right. Love you guys.

Love you, pal.

All right, f*** it, line it up!

I am covered head to toe.

You look like a homemade action figure.

All right, well, rubber neck,

you accidentally went too far

and almost got all the way in the boxes.

So Jim, let's get all the way to the boxes,

man, give me a push.

- And I mean a push.

- All right.

I can tell Travis is nervous.

Because whenever he gets nervous,

he's like...

I can just hear him

chirpin' up there like a bird.

- You got him, Jim?

- I'm gonna get a nice little spot right here.

- You ready?

- A good push.

One, two, three!

That was sh*t!

We're good!

What kinda push was that?

Maybe if you weren't wearing

Actually, that's probably

a good point.

I didn't think it was gonna be...

Actually, I knew it was gonna be that scary.

I was just fooling myself,

thinking that maybe it wouldn't get done.

But be careful what you ask for because Nitro

Circus will give you the opportunity to do it.

We're dream makers. What can I tell ya?

- Makin' dreams and nightmares come true.

- Mostly nightmares.

Ready or not, here we come, Vegas.

It is one thing to watch it

on television,

but live and in person, it is like seeing a UFO.

You can never fully appreciate it

until you see it live.

We're a couple of minutes from show time,

and I've never been so nervous in all my life.

Go, Travis!

Travis! Travis!

Travis!

I had no idea

what the hell I was even showing up to.

I just walked in the arena and it was packed.

One minute! One minute!

The Nitro Circus is like art.

What all these guys are doing now,

people aren't gonna be doing in the future.

You guys keep getting doors

slammed in your face

because everyone feels like

someone's gonna die doing these stunts.

The fact that so many people did say no,

makes me believe even more strongly

that this is a great idea.

It's been a long road comin' here,

let's prove to the world that we can do this.

We have 10 seconds to stop.

One, two, three... Nitro!

People always said that

Nitro Circus couldn't work as a live show.

But with this much passion...

It was always gonna work.

Are you kidding me?

You have just seen history, Las Vegas!

Will you please get loud?

Will you please get vocal?

Get ready to be inspired! Get on your feet!

- Go Wheelz!

- For Aaron "Wheelz" Fotheringham!

Out of all the members

of Nitro Circus,

Wheelz really embodies

everything that we stand for.

The desire to push his own personal limits
