The Nitro World Games is an annual extreme sports event organized by Nitro Circus. The event was originally held in 2016 at Rice–Eccles Stadium, and moved to the Utah Motorsports Campus in 2018. With the announcement of the Nitro World Games, a new action sports competition that will feature the best athletes competing in the most popular disciplines, Nitro Circus Live creator Mike Porra is seeing the realization of an idea he's spent years cultivating. He and Travis Pastrana have created a competition to reinvigorate the world of action sports— a one-night televised event where seven gold medals will be awarded in FMX, BMX, skateboard, inline, and scooter during a single three-hour broadcast with live scoring and absolutely no filler moments. In a sense, it's like the Action Sports Olympics.
