Nitro Circus: You Got This Stadium Tour 2019
NITRO CIRCUS COMING TO WELLINGTON WITH DOUBLE THE NEW RAMPS
Spectacular all new stunt show draws on game-changing innovations in FMX, BMX, skate and more
Wellington is in for double the dazzle this summer when the world’s biggest action sports show performs its jaw-dropping new tour at Westpac Stadium March 15
The all-new You Got This Stadium tour (formerly known as the Next Level Tour) showcases Nitro Circus’ fearless riders braving the biggest ramps ever seen in both FMX and BMX, and once again New Zealand is set to reap the rewards of this boundary-breaking insanity.
Not resting on their laurels, the Nitro Circus crew has created not one, but two all new ramps which will now make their way to New Zealand this summer.
As the tour organisers were unsure how the colossal new ramps would travel, New Zealand was due to see the proven Next Level tour setup to New Zealand - a show that has been touring Europe, Australia and North American cities in 2018. But after unveiling the re-imagined 55 foot Giganta ramp in North America in September, complete with a takeoff kicker more than three metres taller than anything Nitro Circus has toured before, the results were too good to pass up.
“Our new and bigger Giganta ramp has been such an unprecedented success on our just completed North American tour - with audiences being blown away by the mind boggling new tricks the guys have been able to throw down - that we made the decision to bring this ramp and show to New Zealand,” Nitro Circus President Andy Edwards explained. “So in one insane show, Kiwi fans will now get to witness not one but two new set ups in FMX, and BMX/skate. We all cannot wait to bring this show to New Zealand.”
More than 30,000 tickets to shows in Auckland, Hamilton, Napier, Wellington and Christchurch have sold already, with Hawke’s Bay and Canterbury audiences proving they are Nitro super-fans - racking up unprecedented pre-Christmas ticket sales.
Taupo’s Jed Mildon, the world’s first triple and quad backflipping BMXer, and arguably the biggest name in New Zealand action sports, campaigned to bring the double-ramp show to his home crowd, adamant that New Zealand sees the very best version of the Nitro Circus show.
“I just knew from the moment I first hit this ramp six weeks ago in Montreal, that New Zealand had to have this ramp,” Mildon said. “The FMX boys have done such a great job progressing their sport over the past 12 months, it’s now our time to catch up on the Giganta side. With this brand new ramp technology, I cannot wait to throw down in front of my people, in what will be the best shows New Zealand has ever seen. It’s going to be epic.”
“I may be biased, but I’m not the only one on tour that says it - New Zealand fans are the most wild and passionate fans anywhere in the world. So it’s only right that they get the very best version of our show and I am honoured to have played a small role in making this happen,” he adds.
Combined, these new ramps - one a radically expanded version of Nitro’s infamous Giganta Ramp, the other the massive FMX Next Level ramp -- will ensure that the March 2019 tour will be the biggest New Zealand shows in Nitro Circus history, as the best athletes in FMX, BMX and Skate push themselves to their absolute limits on the biggest ramps in action sports. Adding to the fear factor, in true Nitro Circus style, You Got This will feature a host of new crazy contraptions that have no business flying through the air, along with a few other surprises that will be revealed as the tour dates near.
For the ultimate experience Nitro fans can purchase the premiere seats as part of the all-new Nitro VIP package, which also includes a behind the scenes look at the show set with an exclusive pre-show track walk, allowing the VIPs to get up close and personal with the biggest ramps in action sports. A souvenir poster is also included in this package
