Having the opportunity to put it all on film and get to take it out on the road, that was beyond our wildest dreams. But it’s definitely been awesome to see the next generation of athletes take action sports to new levels, over and over again. I’m so pumped to see Nitro celebrate by going back under the big top and bringing the party to arenas worldwide. Everyone on the crew is ready to send it bigger than ever before.”
