Nitro Circus on MTV

posted by Jaitu at 22:17

MTV has recently started showing Nitro Circus on Sunday nights in the UK. I caught this by chance and am hooked. It's like Jackass but more focused on jumps and stunts and less on vomiting and public humiliation. The group of regulars is lead by Moto X and freestyle rider Travis Pastrana and includes other Moto racers, mountain bikers, bmx riders and base jumpers.

Each week sees a collection of insane stunts ranging from racing kids big-wheel trikes downhill to sky-diving without a parachute to loop the loop slip'n'slides through the woods to driving a trophy truck across the desert at 170mph to base jumping from Las Vegas hotels to attempting to back flip a monster truck.

It looks like the whole lot is available online at the Nitro Circus Vimeo channel. I'm currently resisting the urge to watch more online and just letting 'traditional T.V.' drip feed it to me.

To find out whether it's something you might like then check out the clip below which appears to be the whole of the first show.

Well i got my new motorbike. One word...AWESOME!!!! very very fast and smooth. Weather hasnt been too kind and Suzuki's are not renowned for the ability to handle bad weather (rust and fall apart) so not wanting my £8K bike to rot before my eyes i have only been out on it on Sunday morning. Desperate for some good weather.

Tonight i am having a test drive in an Alfa romeo Brera. I wanted to get a new car for while and due to my current Celica starting to develop some issues (i call the car not unlocking for an hour and issue!!!) and the clutch starting to slip i decided it might be time to do something about it. Now here comes the rub...rather than buying a Focus or Astra or something cheap and sensible i start looking at Mercedes Alfas Audis BMW's etc. I think i am a brand whore! Trouble is i just used most of my savings buying my motorbike...so got to think carefully, always said i would never buy a brand new car on finance, so im looking at Alfa Brera ex demo, still more expensive than i wanted but you only live once and all that. Will post my thoughts on the Brera and my decision when i have worked out what i do. Im sure that the Sales guy will do his best to make sure i drive away in the car.

In the meantime check out the Cold Roses T shirts, my bands logo, looks awesome on the brown t shirt. Can we get a dark blue one as well?
