The much-anticipated, action-packed Nitro Circus show just wasn’t meant to be in Calgary this May long weekend.
The daredevil show was originally scheduled Saturday night at the Calgary Stampede but got rescheduled to Sunday, only to be forced to cancel indefinitely due to continuing inclement weather.
Nitro Circus said because of waterlogged Stampede grounds and high gusting winds, it would have been unsafe for its athletes to perform.
Just before 4 p.m. Sunday, a Facebook post on Nitro’s official account said the show was cancelled.
Fans who bought tickets online from Ticketmaster will have their money refunded automatically.
The rescheduled show was set to start Sunday at 4 p.m.
Fans that purchased their tickets at the box office or any other location should contact their point of purchase to receive their refund.
Nitro Circus apologized on their Facebook page for the inconvenience and said that they are very disappointed to not perform for their Calgary fans but will try to return in the future.
Nitro Circus’ daredevils is a group of action sports stars that perform choreographed riding routines in freestyle motocross (FMX), BMX, skate and more for a theatrical show that tours around the world.
The two-hour show features the stars of the original MTV series, plus 40 of the world’s best freestyle athletes who perform stunts off the fifty foot high Nitro Gigant-A-Ramp, including snow skis, kids tricycles, drinks coolers, boogie boards, and even a barbie car.
