Viral Sensation Ryan ‘R Willy’ Williams, FMX Legend Adam Jones, and Extreme Wheelchair Athlete Aaron ‘Wheelz’ Fotheringham Lead Line-Up
The 2024 Nitro Circus tour, produced in partnership between Thrill One Sports & Entertainment and Round Room Live, is proud to announce its full elite roster of athletes who will push the boundaries of what is possible. The world’s premier action sports show, Nitro Circus will bring its jaw-dropping stunts, world-class athletes, and electrifying energy to arenas across the United States beginning this Fall.
Leading the charge is action sports icon Ryan ‘R Willy’ Williams, with over 100 World’s Firsts under his belt and 10 X Games medals to his name – including 7 X Games gold medals. Known for redefining scooter and BMX with his innovative tricks, Williams continues to set the standard for progression and who Nitro Circus founder Travis Pastrana called “the best action sports athlete alive today.”
Joining him is freestyle motocross legend Adam Jones, who earned his first X-Games medal two decades ago and remains one of the sport’s top competitors. Jones continues to push the sport forward, and fans can expect to see his signature freestyle motocross (FMX) tricks, from massive backflips to technical combos that leave crowds in awe.
Also starring is Aaron ‘Wheelz’ Fotheringham, the extreme wheelchair athlete who has taken the world by storm with tricks adapted from skateboarding and BMX. Fotheringham’s ability to conquer Nitro Circus’s Giganta Ramp and perform gravity-defying flips and spins is continually redefining what’s possible in action sports. He landed the first-ever wheelchair backflip in 2006 and also holds seven Guinness World Records, including the Longest Wheelchair Jump.
The 2024 Nitro Circus roster blends action sports legends with the next generation of rising stars. From FMX and BMX to beyond, fan-favorite veterans return alongside a fresh wave of emerging athletes that highlights both the future and history of the collective. This year’s lineup offers fans the chance to witness stunts that have to be seen in person to believe.
