Action Figures is the directorial debut of Travis Pastrana, Nitro Circus founder and 17-time X Game medalist, a film he wrote, directed, and produced alongside his best friends from the world of action sports and in association with Nitro Circus.  It is a first of a kind film by these modern day action heroes in which each athlete contributed to filming and editing their section of the film.  Action Figures is an energy packed, high octane, wild ride of a film that is both an ode to the old school action sports videos and a bold step forward in filmmaking and extreme human performance.  This is Travis Pastrana’s personal passion project in which he makes the dream stunts of his close friends become reality.  It is one crazy ride with Travis at the wheel as his friends achieve multiple worlds’ firsts along the way.  These real life Action Figures will push their bodies and minds to conquer the impossible and ignite action sports entertainment.

Graderings en resensies

This hour long video (not movie) is essentially based on any skate or bmx video. It has some of the basic concepts like a section for each person at first. Then it gets random. Snow board clips mixed with base jumping clips, etc. There's little progression in this video as almost everything is done into an air bag, foam pit or resi landing. If u wanna see a bunch of crashes then this one's for you. There was a killer section about chicks that shred n this dude that is gnar on bikes, boards n mx tho.

I really like the nitro circus show, but this movie was missing the heart and personality. Way too many people, no funny antics, just stunts that got pretty repetitive. Boring repetitive soundtrack to go with it.

Well worth a watch but lots of the tricks are into the huge airbag. Some good stuff still but think some of the other Travis films have been better.
