Chris Haffey: Nitro Circus Interview

chris haffey

During May and June this year, Australian audiences were lucky enough to be the first in the world to witness the biggest travelling stunt show this generation’s ever seen, Nitro Circus Live.

Playing in 10,000+ capacity venues in capital cities around the country over several weeks with sell-out shows and extra performances added at most stops, the tour was a massive success and is set to hit the USA and Europe later this year.

Featuring big motocross ramps, and a megaramp with a padded rubber landing, and a phenomenal line-up of freestyle motocross riders, BMXers, 2 skateboarders, a guy doing flips on his pogo stick, a dude on a scooter, a dude in a wheelchair, and none other than Chris Haffey as the sole inline skater in the tour, Nitro Circus showcased THE biggest stunts in the world of action sports, performed on a nightly basis.

Double front-flips on a BMX and the world’s first quadruple tailwhip, double backflips and body varials on motorcross, backflips on a skateboard, attempted DOUBLE backflip on a wheelchair over the megaramp, and a double flatspin 900 by Mr Haffey, were amongst the incredible tricks that went down.

Chris was nice enough to do a little Q&A on his Nitro experience in Australia. Text and interview by Chris Pullar.
