The Show Must Go On
O
n August 22-23, Nitro Circus
returned to Travis Pastrana's
hometown of Annapolis, Mary-
land, for the first time since 2017,
and it was going to be Travis
Pastrana's last time jumping at
a Nitro Circus event. Pastrana is
the co-founder of Nitro Circus,
the action sports entertainment
company.
Unfortunately, things did not
go as planned for Pastrana.
While practicing a double back
-
flip at his house the morning of
the show, Pastrana broke his leg
(tib-fib). Instead of participating
in the festivities, he spent the day
in surgery at the hospital.
Even though Pastrana was
not there, the crowd got to see
something special. Rocky Glynn,
a 10-year-old from Australia
whose mentor was fellow coun
-
tryman Jayden Archer, the first
person to land a triple backflip,
made history as the youngest Ni-
tro Circus performer to perform
a motorcycle backflip during the
show.
Also, brothers Ben and Tom
Richards performed double back
-
flips in the final jump train, which
was a Nitro Circus first.
