MTV’s Nitro Circus visited Woodward Camp this week to shoot for their upcoming season.  They shot for three days beginning on Monday, June 13th.  The entire crew was present including, Jolene Van Vugt, Jim DeChamp, Special Greg, Erik Roner, Streetbike Tommy Passemante, Hubert Rowland (everyon’e favorite redneck), Jermey Rawle and Andy Bell.  Travis Pastrana arrived on the set Tuesday, immediately after participating in a rally car race.  Jolene was sporting a (pink) cast from a reported motorcycle accident.

For those unaware, Woodward Camp is a summer camp with programs in: cheerleading, gymnastics, BMX, skate and inline.  It is a meca for skating.  The skate side of camp contains countless acres of indoor skate parks, vert ramps, concrete parks and even a mega ramp.  Some of the world’s best BMX, Skate and Inline pros train at Woodward Camp year round.

The summer camp was in session, but at times it felt like camp was brought to a halt when the Nitro Crew was filming.  Three days is a short time to

film, but for the Nitro Crew it was enough time to get creative in every facility on camp grounds. The crew did some ridiculous things in the gym, got very creative on all of the ramps and even used the entire camp in one segment!  I do not want to spoil the show, but around camp they used BMX bikes, motorcycles, skateboards and almost everything else with wheels attached to it.

On Thursday the Nitro Crew was on their way to film at Bam Margera’s house.  The episode featuring Woodward is rumored to include footage from Bam’s house as well.  It will definitely be an adrenaline charged show.  Be sure not to miss the upcoming season!

A new season of Nitro Circus starts in August.  Sundays at 10:00 PM on MTV!
