Action‑sports fans in Annapolis have a weekend to look forward to. The Nitro Circus 2.0 Tour will roll into Navy‑Marine Corps Memorial Stadium on Sunday, offering a lineup of extreme stunts that includes a record‑breaking 75‑foot backflip through a 35‑foot wall of fire.
Local hero Travis Pastrana headlines the event
Annapolis native Travis Pastrana, one of the original creators of the Nitro Circus shows, said he is thrilled to bring the spectacle back to his hometown. “If you’re a fan of action sports and you’re from anywhere around here, and you want to see the best in the world trying stuff that’s never been done, this is where you want to be,” Pastrana told local media.
Young talent takes the spotlight
The show will also feature 16‑year‑old Olivia Reynolds from the United Kingdom, who is the youngest female rider ever to land a backflip on a dirt bike. Reynolds will make her Nitro Circus debut at the Annapolis venue, adding an international flavor to the event.
“One of the girls here, that’s 16 from the U.K., is the youngest girl ever to do a backflip on a dirt bike, and she’s going to be doing her first‑ever Nitro Circus show here at Navy‑Marine Corps Memorial Stadium,” Pastrana said.
Details for attendees
The performance begins at 6 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets are available through the Seat Gig website, and organizers expect a sizable crowd from across the region and beyond. The event is being promoted as a family‑friendly outing, though parents are advised to consider the high‑energy nature of the stunts when deciding whether to bring younger children.
Impact on the community
Beyond the thrills, the Nitro Circus show is expected to bring a boost to local businesses, with restaurants, hotels, and retailers anticipating increased traffic from out‑of‑town visitors. City officials have welcomed the event as an opportunity to showcase Annapolis as a destination for major entertainment productions.
Community leaders also noted the importance of providing safe, wholesome entertainment options for families and young adults in the area. By featuring both a hometown legend and an up‑and‑coming international rider, the show aligns with Annapolis’ tradition of supporting athletic excellence and community pride.
