Here is a look into the Life of Erik Roner when he is not busy sending on his skis courtesy of www.erikroner.com.

Whenever I thought of the upcoming Nitro Circus trip to the lake, my palms immediately started sweating. A week of fun on the lake with this group is not what most people would consider fun. I knew I was going to be lucky to come away uninjured or alive. Our goal was to get footage for the new Nitro Circus film “Double Wide” due out this fall.

The Nitro Circus rolls in style. I was picked up at the Las Vegas airport and taken to the owner of Nu Skin products “get away” house near Lake Mead. The house is entitled “Pirates Cove” which is basically “Pirates of the Caribbean” for adults. Long water slides, 60-foot mast jumps into small pools and pirate bars throughout the estate. I have never seen anything like this place and could easily spend a week there getting lost in all the details.

From there we loaded up a motor home, 2 fifth wheels, all the other trucks and headed for the lake. In all we had 2 houseboats, 3 cigarette boats, 4 ski boats and more toys than you can imagine.

Throughout the week we accomplished Big Wheel BASE jumps, Mtn Bike BASE jumps, rowdy zip lines, Rollovers for folks who have never skydived or BASE-jumped as well as many punishing stunts the crew was trying to step up too. I watched stunts executed to perfection and I also witnessed a few miracles. All in all, everyone came away in one piece. We had great time and I was stoked to play with the team again!

After the Lake, Pastrana, Plamer and myself rolled back to Vegas for some more BASE fun. Pastrana has some pull in Vegas…we showed up at 2 in the morning made one phone call, and found ourselves at the wind tunnel for a private middle of the night session.

The winds did not cooperate in Vegas but we made up for it with a private go-cart session with Cowboy Kenny Bartram, TP and TJ Lavin.
