Going back to the early days of circus entertainment, death-diving thrill-seeker Ryan Bean will attempt a high dive off Nitro Circus' world-famous giganta ramp! 40 feet tall, death diving into a 3.5-foot body of water.

Nitro is bringing back the snowmobile ! This time, Cody Matechuk will attempt stunts off one of the newest ramps in FMX history. The Next Gen Ramp creates more amplitude for multiple large backflip stunt variations. No snow, no problem!

In true Nitro Circus fashion, the contraptions will make their return with a few new surprises that will surely make for some carnage. A flying couch, kayak, horse, and a few new additions you'll have to see to believe.

"I can't wait for fans to experience the Nitro Circus 2.0 Tour," said Ryan "R-Willy" Williams. " With brand-new stunts that have never been done live before and surprises around every corner with the best athletes in the world, every show is going to be a completely different experience. Sharing these moments live, seeing the crowd's reactions, and having fun is what the Nitro Circus tour is all about."

THE ATHLETES:

Nitro Circus's elite roster features some of the most fearless athletes on the planet. Below are just a few of the many who will throw down jaw-dropping stunts and world-first tricks in high-flying showdowns spanning FMX, BMX, Scooter, Skate, and more!

Leading the charge is Ryan "R Willy" Williams, an Australian action sports innovator with more than 100 world-firsts across BMX and Scooter, including over 900 million views on YouTube alone, making him one of the most viral action sports athletes in history. R-Willy is a living legend, boasting 12 X-Games medals across multiple BMX disciplines. He created his own action sports playground, "R Willyland," where he continually innovates, landing world-first tricks that showcase his creativity and unmatched talent. Travis Pastrana has called him "the best action sports athlete alive today."

Ryan Bean is an American extreme sports content creator and social media personality. He's gained millions of followers by showcasing high-risk acrobatic feats and outdoor stunts. He debuted with Nitro Circus in 2025, landing a double front flip into a zorb ball, instantly becoming a Nitro Circus icon.

Aaron "Wheelz" Fotheringham is a trailblazer in WCMX (freestyle wheelchair). In 2010, Wheelz catapulted into the limelight by landing the first-ever backflip on a wheelchair. Since then, he has fearlessly broken records and inspired millions worldwide. He has an infectious spirit and is a Nitro Circus fan favorite.

The next generation of Freestyle Motocross, superstar brothers Ben Richards and Tom Richards are the only brothers who have both medaled in Freestyle Motocross competition. Ben Richards is one of Australia's rising stars in freestyle motocross (FMX). Ben's passion for riding started early, with dirt jumps becoming part of his life at just 8 years old. The Richards brothers made history as the first-ever FMX riders to join the Monster Army, a testament to their raw talent and dedication. Tom Richards, an FMX rider from Wagga Wagga, Australia, started riding dirt bikes at nearly 4 years old and transitioned to freestyle riding at 15 years old. He has mastered the 75-foot jump and continues to push his skills to new heights. Ben and Tom have been highlighted as part of the next generation of great FMX riders.
