Nitro Circus Sends Vancouver Sky-High on the Off The Rails Tour

Nitro Circus rolled into Rogers Arena on December 18 with its Off The Rails World Tour and turned downtown Vancouver into a full-blown loud and wild stunt circus.

The show leaned hard into the “how are humans doing this?” feeling. FMX, BMX, skate, scooter, and custom-built contraptions flew off massive ramps all night. The Giganta Ramp dominated the floor, sending riders sky-high with flips that made the crowd gasp first, then scream.

Nitro Circus knows its audience. This felt built for all ages with pyro blasting and music thumping. It never dragged and families around the arena stayed locked in from start to finish.

A playful rivalry ran through the night between Canadian and American athletes. The Canadians took the win, and Rogers Arena made sure everyone knew it.

The Ring of Fire segment landed as one of the night’s biggest moments. Riders launched through flames on contraptions that looked held together by hope and bravery. Aaron “Wheelz” Fotheringham joined that chaos and owned it.

The finale sealed the deal with FMX rider Ben Richards stomping a double backflip that snapped me back to Carey Hart’s historic “first backflip ever” moment at the Gravity Games in 2000.

Nitro Circus delivered exactly what it promised: big tricks, big noise, big smiles. If this tour comes back, grab tickets fast and bring kids and friends. Just make sure you don’t blink!
