MTV Remote Control Blog › Nitro Circus

The Nitro gang isn't just gutsy about sports -- they're also completely fearless when it comes to fashion. Over the years, we've seen them in anything, everything, and, occasionally, next-to-nothing, so we thought we'd show our respect by putting together the first annual Nitro Circus "What Not To Wear" guide.

Check out a few of our favorite style stars right here (PS, did Andy shave his legs?!), then flip through the rest of the virtual fashion show to find out who's hot, who's not and who's made two separate -- but equally persuasive -- attempts at showin' us how sexy a lime green Lycra suit can be.

At any given moment, Travis Pastrana and Andy Bell are either laughing, fighting, cheering each other on, or incessantly poking fun at every failure. In short, they're like brothers. Really, really competitive brothers (with identical haircuts), who can't seem to agree on who had this season's coolest stunt. And since they're STILL going back and forth between Travis' roof jump and Andy's souped-up three wheeler, we thought we'd help 'em out by letting you guys announce the winner.

Think Travis' suicidal building leap (and parachute-less sky dive) were the most hardcore? Or did Andy edge him out with stunts like Crazy Rocket Trike and "Dude, Where's My Car's Fire Extinguisher"? Take the poll and tell us which of these Nitro besties had this season's sweetest moves.

+ Like that pic of Travis and Andy? Well, you've got Jolene Van Vugt to thank for it. Give it up for Nitro's (unofficial) photo journalist, and check out some other shots she snapped from the sidelines this season.

When Travis Pastrana hopped on his bike and jumped 75 feet off a skyscraper, we had to wonder about his sanity. As it turns out, we weren't the only ones. Apparently, there's a huge difference between proposing a Nitro Circus stunt -- and seeing how small the margin of error (and how high the distance from the ground) really is. Hear the Nitro frontman explain what was going through his mind moments before his roof-jump, plus tune in this Thursday at 10pm for more recaps, bonus scenes and behind-the-scenes cast interviews from Season Two.

While we were watching Street Bike Tommy suck down doughnuts and Travis Pastrana suck at life, Jolene Van Vugt was doing what she does best: capturing it all on camera.

This week, she managed to snap Travis' pre-jump jitters, Erik Rhoner's about-to-fail face, and some action shots so slick they might actually give you motion sickness. So pop a Dramamine and check out these extreme Kodak moments. It's the closest most of you will ever get to being flashed.

For every "Holy s**t!" Nitro achievement, there's at least four or five spectacular fails. And tonight, we saw a couple of wipeouts that looked about as uncomfortable as Andy Bell climbing onto a bed of nails, wearin' nothing but a Speedo. So who had the night's biggest, bone-crushingest screw-up? Take the poll and tell us who had gnarliest finale flop.

Nitro Circus is not for the weak. Which explains why most of the guys (and girl) on the show seem to have a death wish. But according to Travis Pastrana and Andy Bell, one dude is preternaturally concerned about living til a ripe old age. Find out which NC guy is most concerned about biting the big one, plus Travis pay Andy the ultimate compliment -- and insult -- in one.

Much as we love watching the Nitro gang drop by the Fantasy Factory, we couldn't help but be sad when they packed up their circus tents and replaced their clown costumes with Grease-inspired mullets and Velcro suits. Fortunately, thanks to the magic of photography, we still have pix of them all dressed up for center stage! So who wins the viewers' award for best (i.e. worst) dressed? Take a look back at everybody's sparkly sideshow styles and tell us who deserves to be Freak of the Week.

For a gal with a broken arm, Jolene Van Vugt's not exactly sittin' on the sidelines. Tonight, Jo jumped behind the wheel for a monster truck tug o' war with Street Bike Tommy AND strapped herself in for a helicopter death glide. And since that flight's still giving us nightmares (call it a crazy fear of plummeting to our doom), we thought we'd give you another look at Jolene's high-speed helicopter tailspin. Check it out, and give the Nitro badass props for refusing to sit this one out.

You can thank Jolene Van Vugt once again for the photos you're about to see. Despite (supposedly) being injured, the motocross rider managed to capture everything from Street Bike Tommy's shiz-eating grin to Andy Bell's I'm-about-to-bite-it-big-time face.

Check out Tommy and Special's dirt angels, Cam's (newly) compacted car and Travis' holycrapIdidit dance. All pix and captions courtesy of our fave tomboy -- and in-house photographer -- Jolene.
