Career[]

Trip Taylor has been a TV & Film producer for over 20 years, creating several iconic franchises, best known for creating, co-creating and Executive Producing young-skewing hits that have grown into multi-revenue-stream brands. Trip launched and Executive-Produced the ”Jackass” television series, helping to expand the brand into the series of Paramount Films. As he views it, he created a new film genre with the creation of Bad Grandpa

Trip also contributed to the creation, planning and production of world-record-breaking stunts, producing live action sports events and producing formatted entertainment television series. Trip co-created (along with megastar Travis Pastrana) and Executive Produced the original MTV series “Nitro Circus.”  This series went on to spawn what has become the largest action sports live stadium tour in the world, also under the Nitro Circus moniker.

After years of Executive Producing TV series', the growing Nitro Circus organization asked Trip to come back as Senior Vice President of Media to expand the brand further into pop culture and TV.  With Trip’s guidance and expertise, he helped create and Executive Produced the “Olympics” for action sports athletes, Nitro World Games.  Nitro World Games is an annual 3-hour live stadium action sports competition that has aired in NBC primetime and streamed on Facebook.

Hand-in-hand, Trip, Travis Pastrana and Nitro Circus also invented a brand new auto racing format, Nitro Rally Cross (NRX).  NRX is becoming a mighty and respected racing circuit within the auto racing industry.  As a final exclamation point on his short time with the Nitro Circus organization, Trip created, sold and Executive Produced a 3-hour live stunt event that has become an instant classic.  “Evel Live” on the History Channel, and distributed worldwide, featured Travis Pastrana breaking 3 of Evel Knievel’s most iconic stunts one after the other all in one night, culminating in Travis jumping the world-famous Caesars Hotel & Casino fountain.  The special stands as 2018’s highest rated cable special and History Channel’s highest rated special since 2011.
