Title: Nitro Travel Channel 5-27-2009
Post by: PcMan on May 27, 2009, 11:00:01 PM
Invited to ride Nitro in the cold early misty mourning.
Four guys competing to be the host of a new TV show on the Travel Channel based on Man vs food but with thrill rides and coasters and other extreme things like the downhill cheese run. It's only a pilot so who knows if it will ever become a show? thanks Joe

Here is Ryan Dunn from the Jackass and Bam Shows on MTV trying out. All four rode the coaster at different times and commented on the ride
Ryan is the one with the beard \/

The Young dude BELOW we nicknamed "McLovin" \/  he sat next to the hosts most rides and they held his hand and joked with him.

Thanks for the pics PcMan. It was a lot of fun riding with the potential hosts. It's cool to see those pictures of us. Thanks!

Bubba should be the host!
I thought El Toro would have been second in line to Kingda Ka?
Although Nitro in the cold rain is pretty extreme too.

^You're being a little teapot, lol. And I agree with you, he was very annoying. I liked the last guy the best by far.

Bubba in an orange shirt? NO WAY! ;)

Bubba would make a good host.

Why can't these "shoots" ever be during times that accommodate "normal people's" schedules? ;)

Oh and I see some logos on people... "Ruh oh George."

Wow, thanks for all the love!   If you watch Bret Kreisher on youtube he is rather funny and not so in your face.  Check out  Ultimate Fighter and  ass wax.

 Bam Margera made it out to the park as well to pick up Ryan. I wonder if they beat up Bugs and Daffy?

Is the show supposed to be about these guys competing to be the host or are they going to pick one of them and have them travel and do various extreme activities?
Title: Re: Nitro Travel Channel 5-27-2009
Post by: WadeJ on May 29, 2009, 01:03:52 PM
I think the whole point is having them compete. I could be wrong though.

This shoot was an audition for the final four potential hosts. The footage will be viewed by Travel Channel Executives and they will make their decision on who they want to host the show. This was basically a "pilot" for the hosts. Only one of them will make the cut and become the host of the actual show.
