Prime Time



What used to be just a DVD that was put together turned out to be a very successful extreme sports adrenaline show featuring Travis Pastrana. This show is called Nitro Circus. Travis Pastrana, Jolene VanVugt, Andy Bell, Tommy Passemante, Jim DeChamp, Erik Roner, Jeremy Rawle, Hubert Rowland, Gregg Godfrey, Special Greg and Cam McQueen are the main crew in the show.
Out of these ten men are one woman. But this woman is a professional motocross racer. She is always competing with the guys in this testosterone driven show. There is only a few people that are over 40 years of age, which would be Travis Pastrana’s parents. The only person on in the crew that is overweight would be Tommy Passemante. Throughout the shows Tommy always does funny things with his extra weight and keeps the crew laughing.
The leading role is held by a man, Travis Pastrana. The only woman on the show Jolene VanVugt and she dress’s basically the same as the guys on the show. Usually wears just a t-shirt and shorts or jeans. The women in this show are portrayed in a good way in this case. This show shows that women can do things too, and that they are capable of doing a lot. None of the women on the show are minorities or homosexual.
As far as audience, this show is intended for anyone who loves exciting, adrenaline rush packed shows. Most of the audience is people that are fans of Travis Pastrana and all of the amazing things Travis has accomplished in his motocross career and still is making his fans aw in amazement nearly every time there is a new episode of Nitro Circus. Overall this show portrays women inaccurately because the average women could not do any of the things that Jolene does on this show. But you have to remember, she is a professional at what she does.
