I went to see this at Manchester on Tuesday, for the second time. Has anyone else seen this before, or the movies?

What did you think?

I was watching some there shows on you tube this afternoon and think they must be nuts...

Wasn't this the motorbike stunt thing that had the accident the other day in Glasgow?

Yeah, but it was hardly as horrific as the media describes.

I think the bigger shock was their admission that the audience members participating were actually stooges.

I agree - One of them has been killed and one lost all feeling and control of his legs. It's great to watch though..

I agree, although they were hurt the 'fall' was nothing, considering they were supposed to be doing a backflip.

They're coming to my local stadium in April. So I thought it would be good to take the boys, 14 and 17. Then I realised it would be more than £100 for the three of us. **** that!

I went to this for the second time in Glasgow I though the one 3 years ago was better but I would still go back. Thinking about going to the outdoor show later this year.

I can assure you, it's worth it!

Is this the summer tour? Is it going to be a lot different to the in door ones? As my issue was that the two I have seen were very similar, same setup etc they had just managed a few more tricks.

i liked the TV series back in the day, but lost interest when they started doing the stadium stuff

craig_t · 7 Feb 2016 at 11:53

I didn't know they had that, only the movie. I'll have to have a search around for it

Looks good - I will give it a proper watch

its kinda moto X meets Jackass, infact they do have some of the Jackass crew in some of the episodes

craig_t · 7 Feb 2016 at 12:53

Sold even more now you mention jackass in it!

hyperseven · 7 Feb 2016 at 12:53

Got the 3d movie and the special about the first triple crosser flip was very interesting.

I've booked my tickets no idea what the setup is it's the Livingston show I'm going to will be a good day out for me and my boy.

Been to the live shows every year since 2012, been to the London premier of the Movie and got a fully cast signed poster from Godfrey.

I loved Jackass and had seen a few of the cross-overs but wasn't amazed (still liked it) until I saw the first Stadium tour episodes with Wheels and I got bit by the Nitro bug big-time.

Sadly with the death of Roner and the other pretty awful injuries they've suffered the "main cast" don't really do as much anymore which is understandable and the next generation have taken over, I don't feel as attached to so this will be my final Live show.

I'm in Livingston too. Will see closer to the time but it's an awful lot of money to me.
