For Hubert, Nitro Circus is a dream come true, and he plans on “riding this train until the wheels fall off.”  If the wheels do fall off the ‘Nitro Train’ Hubert will probably fix it anyway.  But Hubert also makes dreams come true for crew members and Nitro fans everywhere by keepin this ‘Nitro Train’ cruisin’ along…..he’ll even throw in the occasional jump on the track and be there to laugh at you when it gets derailed and tell you that “you got dirt all up in yo’ butt”.  Thank you Hubert for fixin’ bikes, building jumps, and makin’ us aware of the dirt up our bums.

For you snowboarders out there that think skiing is for senior citizens and cream puffs, you haven’t met our crazy friend Erik Roner.  This world class skier has taken the sport to intense heights, literally, by combining his passions for base jumping and flying down steep mountain faces attached to a couple of fiberglass planks.  His wild stunts have been featured in numerous magazines, films, and TV shows.  On Nitro if there is ever a stunt that involves snow, Erik is first in line.  His undying love for snow and the extreme has led us to believe he is part Eskimo, and part lunatic.  When there is no snow to be found, in order to get his skiing fix, he actually pulls out the roller skis and catapults himself off ramps to do crazed acrobatics in the air. Heck, that’s why we love him!

For Erik, Nitro Circus is just an outlet to do what he loves.  Good thing he loves the maniacally insane activities that we do. Plus he is nice enough to pack Travis’s chute for him.  Talk about trusting your friends.  Next time you hear someone yell out “Look, its a bird, its plane” you say “no you idiot, it’s Erik Roner the flying squirrel.” Hey Erik, nice tramp stamp , and thank you, for bein you.

Jim’s most radical and astonishing achievement was when he was the first ever to front flip a full sized dirt bike.  Other impressive acts include the double back flip of a BMX bike, and the repairing of appliances while listening to bad pop music.  It isn’t easy to fix a blender while listening to Britney Spears, many have tried, few have fingers.  Jim is also a professional at receiving heavy doses of pepper spray to the face, but as he knows too well you should lay down before pouring water on your face or you will not only feel the excruciating burn on your entire face, but also in your nether regions and everywhere in between.  Can I get a ball washer.

Here’s to you Rainbow Jim, despite being friends with one of the most recognized figures in actions sports you have managed to be an innovator yourself.  Nitro Circus and fans everywhere love you, but we hear that the Utah Jazz Bear might love you even more…..kinda creepy.  You de Champ Jim.

For Travis, Nitro Circus is just a reflection of his wickedly fast and insane lifestyle.  As the ring leader of the crew, Travis is often the bar setter and just his presence alone inspires others to go bigger, faster, and more frenzied.  Who can’t help but be inspired when you see a guy bust out the first ever double back flip on a motorcycle, or watch him miraculously learn to walk again after a spinal trauma injury only seen twice before in medical history.  It seems like everyone around Travis seems to rise to the occasion and make the impossible a reality.

As much time as Travis spends high in the air above the rest of us, his unique, uncommon, and maybe even most impressive trait is his natural ability to stay grounded.  With as much recognition and exposure that Travis has been given, it is truly amazing the way he is able to stay like-able, upbeat, and the friendliest guy you have ever met.  Like he says “what  you see is what you get”, not a fake artificially inflated public icon.  He really loves his millions of fans, and anyone who is fortunate enough to meet him knows that.  So kids, if you want to be like Travis, don’t be annoying and stupid.  Nitro Circus and the world are lucky to be part of such a unique and talented individual.

But in all seriousness, as one of the executive producers of Nitro Circus, Gregg Godfrey does do his best to protect a crew of lunatics as best as one man can, even though at times it is like trying to tell a monkey that he doesn’t like bananas. But this son of a trucker can’t help but act like a monkey himself once in a while. Like the time he tried to skateboard down an extremely long and steep ramp, but unluckily, or maybe luckily, fell straight back onto his head halfway down the ramp before he would have launched himself off a huge jump. Hey Gregg, your skull says thanks for the helmet.

When this individual of red neck descent isn’t attempting to crack his skull or doing show production, he often does extensive and highly technical product testing for Ogio, just like his cohort Tenacio. One such field test involved dragging his wife’s dog and a chicken in an Ogio bag behind a “high” end race truck. The dog and chicken lived, but his wife crapped a brick and said he wouldn’t be living for long. Gregg we hope you live forever so you can keep producing such magnificent shows like Nitro Circus!

As Executive Producer of Nitro Circus, Sr. Tenacio often has to check his e-mails, lots and lots of e-mails………on his computer. But good thing he has his Ogio backpack, because as he put it, “Ogio is probably the best thing that has happened to humanity since somebody dropped a little lime in a cervaza. ” When Jeremy isn’t checking e-mails or producing stuff on the show he is either dressing up as a beaver and playing with his good friend Bobo, who is a monkey, or getting in on the Nitro action and performing his own stunts. Like the time he skied down an Olympic training ramp and busted out a triple and ⅜ black flip into a pool. No big deal. Typical lawyer.

In his free time Mr. Rawle likes to knit sweaters while eating his favorite food, Twinkies with the cream sucked out and replaced with cheese wiz. MmmHmm sounds delicious Jeremy. You also might catch him practicing such signature stunts such as the drunk burro. In order to keep up on his rad image he represents a well trimmed soul patch and aviator sun shades for his eye balls. At heart, Tenacios is a red neck hippie with brains and a eye for adventure. If it weren’t for him and the other producers, the Nitro crew would probably just be doin this stuff for free. Thank you Jeremy Rawle for bringing such awesomeness to the world!

Probably the Nitro crew member with the most “stunning” physique, you will often find Mr. Passemante shirtless in order to impress. This former hanger of drywall, dubbed, Street Bike Tommy, first became famous, not for his success or skill in performing stunts or riding street bikes, but by one ill fated attempt to simply jump a street bike into a foam pit. Nearly earning himself a casket and a Darwin award, Tommy claims he was trying to do a front flip (he wasn’t), and in the process managed to fly completely over the the large expanse of cushioned foam, head first, into the rigid and unyielding ground. Little did he know at that time that this half-baked antic would be the best decision he ever made.

If there is anything that Tommy is skilled at besides getting maimed and nailing gypsum board onto walls, it is being hilarious and getting burned……by jokes of course. With a great aptitude to laugh at himself while causing others to bust a gut, Tommy brings that jolly and jovial atmosphere to the Nitro crew. A high degree of his comedic charm comes in the form of his unsuccessful stunts, such as the time on a episode of Nitro Circus when he set the World record for longest jump on a riding lawnmower which ended in the violent tumbling end-over-end of him and the mower. All because as Travis put it “Crab cakes and lawnmowers, that’s what Maryland does!”

When Tommys not putting his gorgeous self on the line for the World’s enjoyment, you might find him in a club or bar living the rock star lifestyle. If he makes it “rain” on you, or offers to buy the whole place drinks, please return his money or decline his offer and talk some sense into him. The road to fame can be quick, but the road back to construction can be even quicker. High five Tommy Passemante, for staying alive and your wreck less drive. We love you!

For Jolene the X-chromosomes must not only account for the fact that she is a girl, but must also be an X-treme gene woven into her DNA, which she most likely inherited from her Father Bill and older brother Billy who both were dirt bike riding enthusiasts. Good genes might also have something to do with her ability to turn heads on and off a dirt bike. Despite her childhood aspirations of owning a daycare or her mother’s desires for her to be a ballerina, she has forgone all other less dangerous and sissy pursuits to become the extreme Canadian princess she is today.

Earning the respect of Travis and the rest of the Nitro crew is no small task for anyone, but Jolene has proved time and time again that even though she may not be one of the dudes, she is more daring and fearless than 99.9% of the world male population. Not only was Jolene the first female to back flip a full-sized dirt bike, she also back flipped off a ramp into the Grand Canyon. A stunt that would make Chuck Norris soil himself in shame. Her passion for crazy and insane activities has also made her highly successful in the WMA (Womens Motocross Association) and the CMRC(Canadian Motosport Racing Corporation). Accomplishments in these arenas and others has developed her into a world-class motocross diva and has molded her into a perfect fit for the Nitro crew.

With a need for balance in all things, the Circus is no exception. Jolene brings that much needed equilibrium to the chaotic Nitro crew. Through the stench of grease, mud, and gasoline from the guys, you might just catch the delightfully sweet aroma that is Jolene. Come take a sniff and see why she has captured the hearts of the crew and millions of other guys and gals around the world.

The only difference between Greg Powell and the rest of us mediocre guys is when his mom told him he was special, he didn’t make her a liar. Greg has a ridiculous ability to be exceptional at just about everything, hence his nickname “Special Greg”. Growing up Special played more conventional sports like soccer, but it just so happens that he is the cousin of the one and only Travis Pastrana. As a kid when he would visit his cousin, Travis, together they would raise hell and push the limits of extreme action sports. Special said himself he can’t believe some of the things they did. Crazy things that would probably make any woman cringe with motherly instinct.

But Special took a little different route in life than his cousin Travis. He proceeded to do the college thing where he earned his degree in Kinesiology at the University of Maryland. Oh, and he played Division 1 collegiate football as a wide receiver and special teams player. Being one of the strongest guys on the team, it was reported his 187 lb. frame could squat 525 lbs. That’s so much weight that when Chuck Norris attempted the same feat, he ended up with a hernia, a dismantled ego, and a lost endorsement from the Total Gym. Special even plays the flute. Take that Chuck.

Even though Special Greg Powell wasn’t completely raised on extreme sports like his cousin, since he has joined the Nitro crew, he has made plenty of waves in the action sports world. One of his most extraordinary stunts is what he calls the “special flip”, where on a BMX bike while in the air he completely loses all contact with the bike while doing a body varial and then somehow manages to grab the bike and get back on and ride away. Even the great BMX rider Matt Hoffman looked on with wide eyes and a hanging jaw when he first saw a failed attempt. With his massive loads of confidence and talent, Special Greg Powell brings a high degree of charisma and energy to the Nitro crew that is second to none. He embodies everything that we stand for here at Nitro Circus. He really is one special dude.
