Get ready, USA! Nitro Circus is back, and this Fall, we are bringing our electrifying show to Columbus- a new generation of gravity-defying thrill-seekers and rule-breakers are here to remind you: the World is Our Playground. Feel the adrenaline as you cheer on your favorite Nitro Circus athletes and join in the fun with interactive elements that bring you closer to the competition.
JUST ANNOUNCED - full elite roster of athletes. Leading the charge is action sports icon Ryan ‘R Willy’ Williams, with over 100 World’s Firsts under his belt and 10 X Games medals to his name – including 7 X Games gold medals. Known for redefining scooter and BMX with his innovative tricks, Williams continues to set the standard for progression and who Nitro Circus founder Travis Pastrana called “the best action sports athlete alive today.”
Joining him is freestyle motocross legend Adam Jones, who earned his first X-Games medal two decades ago and remains one of the sport’s top competitors in freestyle motocross (FMX).
Also starring is Aaron ‘Wheelz’ Fotheringham, the extreme wheelchair athlete who has taken the world by storm with tricks adapted from skateboarding and BMX. Fotheringham’s ability to conquer Nitro Circus’s Giganta Ramp and perform gravity-defying flips and spins is continually redefining what’s possible in action sports. He landed the first-ever wheelchair backflip in 2006 and also holds seven Guinness World Records, including the Longest Wheelchair Jump.
