It all began with an English friend of Johnny Knoxville’s named Maximillion Cooper. In 2001, he put the motoring bug in our ear to take jackass on the road in his annual Gumball Rally 3000 event, which on this particular racing occasion was scheduled to depart England and pass through France, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Latvia, Russia, Finland and some of those other foreign countries that are all jigsawed up in that Euro-continental shit. We were deep in the midst of filming for seasons two and three of the television show, but the allure of a high speed global adventure was enticing indeed. Especially for Dimitry Elyashkevich who wanted desperately to return to his motherland for the first time since he’d defected in his youth. There were some logistical problems to overcome, as always with MTV, but overcome we did and soon enough Steve-O and Chris Pontius were on the road and cumming over and over again all over the backseat of a Jaguar supplied by Max. You won’t be seeing any of this spunky activity in Part 1 here of the jackass gumball rally special—nor any other part for that matter—but you can hear all about it in the latest Purple Pony today!
