Travis & Nitro Circus Box Set

My older son's loved these DVD's, and they ended up so scratched from so much use, that I had to look to re-order for our younger son. We have watched them all multiple times, but my favorite is still number 2! I love the music, and the action, secretly I may like these more than all my kids :)

If you are a fan of Crusty Demons of Dirt and similar genre, these Travis Pastrana videos are the best and will not dissapoint. Gruesome crashes, inane stunts by stupid kids (jumping off roof of a car driving across a bridge and diving into the river far below), mind-blowing motorcycle tricks, and general fun among really interesting delinquents at their high-budget party compound. They never get old even after a dozen viewings. I even show these videos to my Ivy League alumni friends who seem to also find them irresistable (although perhaps for different reasons....)

I purchased the boxed set for my son's 12th birthday. He had seen the MTV NC series, and I could see it was a fun mixture of the guys doing crazy stuff, travelling around etc. I therefore purchased the boxed set on the assumption that NC1, NC2 and NC3 meant the MTV series 1, 2 and 3. Not so! As others have mentioned, the boxed set is really just dirt bike riding, which is OK, but it's not what attracted us to the purchase. It would have been much more helpful (and accurate..) to ensure there was a clear distinction in the description, between the MTV series, and what is shown on these DVD's in the boxed set. I still don't know where to get the MTV series from! So not bad, but not actually what we were after..

I didn't realize that a lot of the footage from Mtv's Nitro Circus was older. There's a few clips that I recognized from the new show, but not many. And most of these dvd's are just music and dirt bike stunts and/or crashes. I thought it was a cool 4 disc set.

The first three are an incredible view into the origins of Nitro Circus and FMX. The best part about this special edition box set is that it has a bonus disc with clips and footage that is exclusive to this release. You’ll see the content from the first three films reused throughout their show and social media from time to time, but I have never seen any of the clips and stunts on the bonus disc used anywhere else over the years. It’s pretty incredible. If you are wondering why this set costs so much, this is the reason.

Just like the other two reviews, I bought this under the assumtion that it was what my husband fell in love with on the MTV series. Not so. I wish I would have read these reviews before I made the purchase. When I saw the MTV versions listed first on the amazon search list and then I saw the box set below, I thought I was just buying the whole set of the MTV series of Nitro circus. Please read before you buy!!!

Having followed the rise of Travis for some time I saw a few of the Nitro Circus clips on You Tube and decided to buy the box set. The box includes the three Nitro Circus movies and a bonus disc. The movies are basically a collection of the clips from the Nitro Circus series and all the stunts the guys have done over the last few years. It's all very entertaining and covers more than just motorbike stunts. The only thing stopping me from awarding the 5th star is that the movies a little short clocking in at between 45mins to 1 hour. They could have been longer or the price a little lower. Overall very entertaining although I'm looking forward to the recently released Nitro Circus MTV backed series on DVD.
