Travis Pastrana and his Nitro Circus crew have made a political statement in their latest video appearance, which takes place at Pastrana’s compound, aka Pastranaland, in Maryland.

Pastrana and friends have joined SilencerCo, a firearm silencer manufacturer, to release an installment of SilencerCo’s Fight the Noise series of videos. The episode features Pastrrana and Nitro Circus stars such as “Street Bike” Tommy and Aaron “Wheelz” Fotheringham as they share stories about growing up with guns, perform their notorious stunts, and give a behind the scenes look at their lives.

The purpose of SilencerCo’s Fight the Noise series is to not only spread awareness of the benefits of silencers and support grassroots advocacy, but also to show that gun owners come from all walks of life. SilencerCo claims that the takeaway of the video should be the focus on the steps that the Nitro Circus take to protect themselves from harm, whether that means wearing appropriate safety gear while riding or using a suppressor on their firearms.

Fight the Noise is a SilencerCo-backed movement to give gun owners the right to protect their hearing and silence the sound of their firearms through the use of a suppressor, or silencer. SilencerCo wants law­-abiding citizens to have the ability to purchase and own silencers without being subjected to excessive wait times, paperwork, and taxes by the government.
