Organizers of the Nitro Circus say one of the highlights this year is a record-breaking stunt, which includes a 75-foot backflip through a 35-foot wall of fire. The Nitro Circus 2.0 Tour, an extreme sports extravaganza, will be held Sunday in Annapolis, Maryland, at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. The event is creating a little competition for the Grand Prix, with both events competing for thrill-seekers this weekend. Annapolis native Travis Pastrana, who helped start the Nitro Circus shows, is excited to bring his passion to his hometown.
