Its been one heck of a wait, but last night (28th Feb) finally saw the Nitro Circus 3D movie make its way to European shores. Travis Pastrana and the Nitro crews latest production took to centre stage months ago in the USA, but weve had wait a little longer for it in the UK. The premiere took place at Londons O2, with a Guinness World Record attempt (most riders completing a backflip at one time) taking place before the start of the film, which was in turn broadcast across the UK.

First things first.. neither disappointed! Starting with the stunt, it was quite frankly incredible. They ended up having 16 riders flying through the air (at some stage of a backflip), which was a new world record. Gregg Godfrey and Jeremy Rawle hosted the event, who both seemed super excited theyd finally got the movie onto UK screens.
Having watched trailers, looked at images and heard stories we already had a rough idea of the stunts and tricks involved in the film, so nothing was a major shock. They loosely portrayed the film as a journey on the road to Nitro Circus Live in Las Vegas, with stops in Utah, Maryland (TPs house) and Panama. With narrative from guys involved in the production and some huge names in the action sports world (Ken Block and Rob Dyrdek) it all came together really well, and made for awesome viewing.
If you get the chance to watch the film at the flicks, do it. Some of the section are incredible in 3D and it really makes you appreciate the enormity of the stunts!
