Saturday May 30th at the Stampede Grounds, anyone else going?

I've done some riding out at MacLean and am a casual fan but even I recognized some of the names, this is going to be huge. The other tour stops are Fort Worth, Mexico City, Madrid and London.

I'll be there.. Riding is huge here, I'm glad it starting to be recognized internationally as a place to stage events.

I didn't even hear about the Calgary date until Friday night, I was randomly surfing the internet looking for Crusty Demons videos when I ran across the X-Fighters site, almost fell out of my chair.

By the way, has anyone had the chance to see Pastrana's "Nitro Circus"? Produced by Johnny Knoxville but it blows Jackass out of the water, not in the comedy department but in pure insanity.

From my office window I can see some dude jumping a motorcycle over the intersection of Centre Street and Stephen Ave. This is the craziest thing I have ever seen. Wow... he just did a backflip. Cool... free show so now I don't have to go see this thing.

What the hell was that about?

Were there Red Bull ads up? Maybe a small exhibition event to promo the May 30th show.

Nitro Circus is awesome, I just found out about it last week, but you can watch all the episodes online on MTV's website. I think they are all insane with all the stuff they do.

I liked the Panama Canal inflatable bounce thinggy. Apparently, the girl on that show is from BC.

Incredible show, the monster truck "backflip" was insane. I've only been able to dload the first 6 episodes, no luck on the rest, all stalled out. I did try to watch online on mtv's site but it said "not available in your area". Are you in the US?

I need to figure out a way around that.

Already snooped some info on Jolene Van Vugt, was or is dating some guy from BC and living there but grew up in Ontario.

I'm in Canada, but I when I watch it I go to the CTV site and go to videos, then underneath the CTV shows they have shows from TSN, Much Music, Discovery, MTV and some other ones its under the MTV one, but when you click on it, it comes from the MTV site. Try going through that, maybe that will work.

I like the Slip 'n Bleed myself, especially when the cross in midair. But that monster truck flip was awesome.

Thanks for that tip, I went to the CTV site and watched all they had up. I was on the wrong track heading over to mtv.com.

And then of course here to watch all the way up to episdoe 12: http://nitrocircus.com/mtv/

My favorite so far is the Guiness World Record episode, Pastrana's 8 backflips in 30 seconds was insane.

By the way, the X-Fighters show/competition will be on TV live this weekend for those with Rush HD.
