Harry Main in the new Ride UK

Issue 151 of RIDE UK is out now and has an article on Harry Main's road to recovery in it. Here's a bit of what you can expect in the next issue:

“It’s been a rough road to recovery for Harry Main since his injury last year. Back in April 2010, he broke his Talus in his right ankle. Doctors said that if the bloodline running through the bone didn’t heal properly it could eventually die and crumble. This would have left Harry unable to walk unaided, let alone ride a bike…

When he first broke it the doctors said there was a 90% chance he wouldn’t ride again because of where he snapped it. Harry didn’t worry about this at all, he just knew it would heal up because in his words “It has to”. That was a good way of looking at it I guess, flushing out any negativity and focusing purely on the positive.”

Andy Buckworth and the Nitro Circus in Las Vegas

Andy Buckworth and the Nitro Circus are coming to Las Vegas on June 4th. A show you don't want to miss. Here's the info about the happening:

Based on the MTV smash hit series Nitro Circus, the explosive touring sensation Nitro Circus Live today announced details for a North American premiere Saturday, June 4 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. With sold-out shows in Australia and New Zealand, the international tour is being billed as the "greatest live action sports show of all time" for its stunning choreographed displays in FMX, BMX and skate, as well as world-first stunts and crazy contraptions launched off the infamous 50-foot high Nitro Giganta Ramp, all performed by the best action sports stars on the planet.

Presented by a coalition of S2BN Entertainment, Global Action Sports and Godfrey Entertainment, the Las Vegas event also will serve as the stage for a portion of the filming of the 3-D Nitro Circus movie, scheduled to be released in early 2012.

A limited pre-sale for the MGM Grand Garden Arena event in Las Vegas will be available only through Ticketmaster from

Friday, April 8 at 10 a.m. to Sunday, April 10 at 10 p.m. PST. The general public on-sale begins Monday, April 11 at 12 p.m. PST.

Seventeen-time X Games medalist and current gold medalist in FMX Travis Pastrana (USA) will headline the show along with the entire Nitro crew as well as the current X Games gold medalists in all three Big Air disciplines - Australia's Jake Brown (skate), America's Chad Kagy (BMX) and Australia's Cam Sinclair (FMX Biggest trick).

Pastrana said, "We have some incredible stunts planned for the Nitro show in Vegas which have never been performed before anywhere in the world and are unlikely to be attempted ever again. Almost 10 world firsts have been thrown down during our tours in Australia and New Zealand and we are going to try and match that in this one-off show. You really don't want to miss it."

Chairman and CEO of S2BN Entertainment Michael Cohl said, "The response to the tour has been huge and the massive fan base behind Nitro Circus has turned out in full force to watch these guys push all the boundaries, reinvent reality and break all the rules in the meantime. We're psyched to have the crew bring the spectacle to the U.S.A."

Managing Director of Global Action Sports Michael Porra said, "The exciting city of Las Vegas is the perfect location to host the North American debut of Nitro Circus Live. We are bringing the greatest action sports stars of all time to the MGM Grand Garden Arena for our best show yet. If the U.S. liked the TV show, they are going to be completely blown away seeing what the crew can do live."

Returning to his native Las Vegas, hometown legend and inspirational professional wheelchair athlete Aaron Fotheringham (USA) aka 'Wheelz' will perform his incredible world first feats off the Giganta for the first time in North America, displaying his arsenal of mind-boggling tricks. Joining him will be the following line up (subject to change):
