Another big event has been set for the University of Lethbridge Community Sports Stadium.

On May 27, the high-octane action sports Nitro Circus: the Next Level Tour will make a stop in the city. The multiplatf­orm outfit produces television shows, critically acclaimed documentar­ies and innovative digital offerings.

Described as “the ultimate full-moto show ever seen,” the Next Level Tour will feature action sports athletes taking on the biggest ramps in the world.

The FMX Next Level takeoff ramp is 15 feet above the show floor (five feet taller than anything toured before) and will launch riders more than 60 feet into the air.

“I’m so stoked to be taking this set on the road,” said Dov Ribnick, Nitro Circus’ vicepresid­ent – creative, in a recent news release.

“This really is a breakthrou­gh in FMX and the team we have assembled can’t wait to throw down the biggest new tricks in FMX on this tour.”

At each tour stop, including Lethbridge, a panel of judges will determine a winner with the overall champion crowned at the end of the tour.

Tickets for the May 27 show in Lethbridge are available and can be purchased at nitrocircu­s.live.
