Created by extreme sports icon Travis Pastrana with Nitro Circus CEO and Creative Director Michael Porra, the Nitro World Games will feature events in freestyle motocross, BMX, skate, inline, scooter and more.

Rollerblading’s inclusion is a huge credit to the following that Chris Haffey and more recently, Wake Schepman, have built while on tour with the Nitro Circus Live tour worldwide.

Don’t expect any grinds, with the whole course focused on the launch ramps (see the course layout in the video below).

Either way, it will no doubt provide some seriously good viewing for both the stadium audience and primetime NBC audience in the USA.

“Action sports is about progression, pushing the envelope to go bigger, faster and farther than ever before,” said Pastrana.

“When it comes to competition, I expect to see the best of the best going head to head, attempting tricks no one has ever seen before. With the Nitro World Games, we wanted to create an event that raised the bar and took action sports to the next level.”

“This is a passion project for Travis and for myself as well. We have worked tirelessly for three years with one goal in mind: a total reinvention of action sports competition. This is absolutely essential for the industry’s growth,” said Porra.[/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpquMRQRFv0″][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″]OFFICIAL NITRO WORLD GAMES 2016 INFORMATION

The Nitro World Games will host some of the world’s biggest stars and the most accomplished athletes in action sports. It will also feature new disciplines, formats, tricks and all new ramps along with a Nitro-invented live scoring system ensuring fans can engage with the competition during the Games. Each event will be a final round with everything on the line.
