I just returned from shooting the first 2 episodes for Season 2 of Nitro Circus airing this fall. This was by far our strongest film trip yet! Most of us have been thinking how are we going to top season 1? I can honestly say we are off to a great start.
For me the past 10 days were some of the best in my life. I learned Parkour from the Worlds best, got tear gassed, jumped a big wheel down a 35 foot dirt step down, walked on a wing of a plane with no parachute, got shot out of a cannon almost 100 feet, rode a dirt bike at Jeremy McGrath’s ranch, BASE jumped the Superman ride at Six Flags Magic Mountain, and flew an acrobatic plane. There was also Quad rainbow rail grinds, rocket powered big wheels, 75-foot building-to-building gap jumps 100 feet in the air and much much more!
We had an amazing trip and only 2 minor hospital visits for the crew. We have a week off before we go at it again. I am headed to the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday with most the crew to walk the red carpet. Pretty crazy!
We are not allowed to share photos with you guys right now so you will have to wait and watch the show this fall. I am going to cheat a little and show you one shot from the trip…

Nitro Crew in LA.
I love living in Lake Tahoe. There is so much to do and the environment is one of a kind. The combination between the mountains and the lake offers so much. Summer is my favorite time here and I am just starting to set into my summer mode.
After a week of a relaxing vacation I picked up right where I left off. The day after I returned, I spent the morning skiing and hiking all over Squaw Valley Resort. After a mountain bike ride and a quick lunch I met up with some friends for my first boat trip of the season. The lake was as flat as it gets and the weather was warm…there is nothing more peaceful than being on the lake in those conditions.
The following day I met with some other friends for a couple days of skydiving and BASE jumping. I really love this place!
Skiing some of the last snow of the year.
Looking down some of the late season lines at Squaw…
Taking it all in on top of KT 22 after hiking and skiing from the peak on the far lookers right (way back there), all the way around the ridge to the left and up to the top of KT 22.
Hanging on the lake after a nice day…the “Best Place on Earth”.
Next day..after a morning of BASE jumping (no pictures: its illegal and too dark out)…into a day of skydiving!
Now what? Maybe a night time BASE jump off a different object…check!
I just returned from a relaxing 4 days in St. Martin in the French West Indies. The island is situated in the Caribbean and half the island is French and the other half is Dutch. A Caribbean feel mixed with a European touch was a unique contrast.
Although we didn’t do much besides lounge around, swim, sleep and relax it was a refreshing trip. I am back in Tahoe ramping up for our first Episode of season 2 of the Nitro Circus. We start shooting in one week and its time to get ready…
Catching up on some much needed sleep in route to the Caribbean island.
Ahhhhhhhh!
Ahhhhh!
More tough living.
Oops!
Annika and I enjoying ourselves.
The Alamanda Resort was great…right on the beach, amazing hospitality, and they were Nitro Circus Fans!
