Apocalypse Pow

It’s said that the mighty cockroach will be the only creature populating the earth once Armageddon finally dawns and mushroom clouds fill the sky. Oh, and also ornery groups of brightly dressed motorbike-riding maniacs who will pop wheelies across the charred wastelands and pull off impossible jumps over blossoming explosions...

It’s said that the mighty cockroach will be the only creature populating the earth once Armageddon finally dawns and mushroom clouds fill the sky. Oh, and also ornery groups of brightly dressed motorbike-riding maniacs who will pop wheelies across the charred wastelands and pull off impossible jumps over blossoming explosions.

At least according to the bombastic back-story of Nuclear Cowboyz Freestyle Chaos, which tells the tale of a pair of freestyle motocross clans called the Soldiers of Havoc and the Metal Mulisha, who stage their tricks amidst a “dark underworld that begins the ultimate battle for world supremacy.” Okay, then.

Combining professional wrestling’s cheesy drama with gravity-defying stunts, this melodramatic motocross mayhem will roar into Jobing.com Arena in Glendale, on Saturday, April 9. The event stars some of the sport’s biggest names, including Adam Jones, Ronnie Faisst, Taka Higashino, and Jimmy Fitzpatrick, as well as plenty of scantily-clad Nuclear Cowgirlz.
