so is this the new Dumbass or Jackass or whatever they are?

No. No, no, no. Travis Pastrana is a living legend in motorsports and the whole cast is a lot more "qualified" than the jackass crew. Nitro Circus is about huge stunts with dirt bikes, motorcycles, base jumping, skydiving, you name it.

Well, the difference between them is Jackass is stunts that are designed to fail and be funny while failing as well as pranks, it also is alot to do with the personalities of the crew.
Nitro circus is more about extreme spectacle and stunts that they are attempting to accomplish and if someone bails then it's a bonus. But it's not about comedy or the crew like jackass, more for just massive stunts.

if you think stunt performers are retards. I see them as thrill seekers, and I don't look down on people who live life to the fullest.


This is different than Jackass, more like an action movie, and less like idiots taking bats to their nuts. But I have to say, I don't think most Jackass fans will find no value in amazing dangerous stunts where some people do get seriously hurt. Some of the stunts are very goofy, and some of them look to be unnecessarily terrifying.
