I stumbled across this magazine article in .net magazine issue #168. Nitro Circus was highlighted! Here is the text:
Nitro Circus is the home of Travis Pastrana (American motocross and X Games legend) and his films of crazy stunts. Its the first site to use Matt Maxwells own 3D engine, and it sets a new benchmark in 3D Flash graphics and its use in depth of field. The site has a suitably daredevil look, particularly with the dynamite motifs and motorbike parts strewn across the digital landscape, and the 3D engine serves as a way of manoeuvring through the sites sections. Its an ingenious and gorgeous-looking approach to navigation, and something thats sure to catch on in web design styles. No longer is the menu system a 2D affair; visitors really can move through virtual spaces. It looks very much like the tabletop designs that are so common today, but it takes the experience further.
