AURORA, Ill. (November 23, 2009) – Feld Motor
Sports? announced today the
launch of the inaugural Nuclear Cowboyz?15-City tour, featuring the world’s top freestyle
motocross riders in a never-before-seen action packed, record-breaking
theatrical freestyle motocross production.
The Nuclear Cowboyz tour has assembled the
world’s greatest cast of freestyle motocross riders, including Adam Jones, Mike
Mason, Nate Adams, Jeremy “Twitch” Stenberg, Ronnie Faisst, Todd Potter, Beau
Bamburg, Nixey Danielson, Jim McNeil, Dustin Miller, Matt Buyten, Brian Foster,
Jimmie McGuire and Jackson Strong. These legends of freestyle motocross will
synchronize awe-inspiring tricks, like the amazing front flip, while attempting
to break world records in a heart pounding two-hour scripted performance.
“Nuclear Cowboyz truly is the dawn of a whole
new freestyle motocross experience with the
best FMX riders in the world performing together in one explosive theatrical
production,” says Kenneth Feld, Producer and CEO of Feld Entertainment, Inc.
“Nuclear Cowboyz will ignite the arena floor with freestyle motocrossers
defying gravity in this post-apocalyptic atmosphere, leaving the audience with
an unbelievable and unprecedented adrenaline-rush. This Feld Motor Sports
production is going to be the greatest, most exciting freestyle motocross show
ever produced.”
The Nuclear Cowboyz tour is creating a new
frontier in freestyle motocross by combining the high-octane sport and the high
caliber of entertainment production for which Feld Entertainment is known. The
story line rips wide open when the Nuclear Cowboyz reunite after chaos rocks
their world. The sparse population divides into two tribes which operate
without governance and compete for supremacy of their new world.
“Fans will be blown-away by this new
freestyle motocross performance format which includes a special appearance by
Derek Guetter presenting an extraordinary back-flipping quad,” says Charlie
Mancuso, President of Feld Motor Sports. “New creative elements are integrated
throughout the show and include the exclusive Nuclear Cowgirlz™ dancers, the
latest pyrotechnics and pulsating hard rock music, exotic acrobatic fire
presentations, sky-high stilt walkers, astonishing fire-breathers and the famed
“Grindergirl.”
