Andy Buckworth has joined the circus



The Nitro Circus is on tour in New Zealand this month. On board is Mirraco's Andy Buckworth. The X-Games mega air medalist is doing shows with fellow BMX riders Jaie Toohey and Steve McCann and a whole bunch of lunatics on dirt bikes, wheel chairs, ice chests, etc.
It's a big show and when the spotlights in the stadium go on, there's no stopping the riders. To win bonus money, the riders on the crew need to push their own limits. Andy did so by pulling a no-handed double front flip. That's an extra 500 bucks in the pocket, and a new trick in the bag.

Good times are had on the road. A few more shows are on the program for New Zealand. Then it's off to Australia. If you want to catch up with Andy, you've got to find your way to the circus.
