Giving a Nitro Circus Review is something I’ve been looking forward to because it was so darn fun! My son brought his friend, and all four of us spent the time cheering and loving the fun production. We saw jaw-dropping stunts by world-class athletes at Nitro Circus ‘Off The Rails’ World Tour. It wasn’t just the kids who loved the show; the athletes had all ages cheering at the jumps and tricks.
The setup was intriguing to me when we first arrived. I spent the preshow trying to figure out how the entire audience were going to see the show. I had no idea if our seats were the best ones, but I didn’t need to be worried. This show is a well-oiled machine, and they know exactly where to put everybody for the best views. They also had the big TVs set up for us to see anything we may miss, including replays.
After the preshow, which included a dance cam and kiss cam, the show started with a literal bang of fireworks. Our Nitro Circus review would be missing a lot if I didn’t tell you that the action was NON-STOP. From the first motorbikes that flew over the ramp, the night continued with either motorbikes, bikes, skateboards, and more until intermission.
I have to admit, as a person who gets emotional at encores and when the cast comes out to bow, I think my favourite part was seeing how much all the athletes cheered for one another. Anytime somebody accomplished a huge trick, you could see the pride they had, and I loved watching them celebrate. They had reason to celebrate because the jumps and tricks were all amazing.
When the show ended, I asked the boys which part they loved the most. It was an impossible question. I personally loved watching them all fly through a fire ring, but we all agreed one of our favourite moments was watching Aaron “WHEELZ” Fotheringham, a man who was born with Spina Bifida, get up the stairs and down the ramp through the fire in his wheelchair, showing the world that nothing is going to stop him from living his dream.
We all loved the show, and as a parent who still had to get her kid to bed, I really appreciated the early show. We were home before 8 PM, and loved having a very exciting evening that ended at a nice time. We can’t wait until Nitro Circus returns to Saskatoon.
