This past December, Rick Kosick and I tagged along on a few of the Nitro Circus shoots that took place here in California. On this particular day, we met up with crew out at a ranch where they had a high octane schedule chock full of various ideas of a carbon-footprint nature involving mini-motorbikes, horses, Johnny Knoxville, and Steve-O.

So Jeff Tremaine is Executive Producer of the Nitro Circus, and he has been traveling with the production wherever they go. He is a very hands-on producer and he is even a more hands-on drunk; punching, slapping, and screaming are his specialties. I mean, look at this shit-bag, would you want to be the unlucky lady seated to his right? (more…)

Since we’re all about celebrating the super American version of stadium football this weekend, let’s take a look at the bastardized sport of rugby over in yon United Kingdom. Now correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe this game originated after a raucous night in a local Sherwood Forest sports pub after watching American football on the satellite telly, right? Twenty pissed dudes stumbling out of the pub and onto the moors, huddling up and leaning on each other for support, slurring out words like “ruck” and “scrum” while mauling some poor bloke caught holding a ball … surely this is how the sports of kings and queens come to be in this world. (more…)

Far be it from us not to celebrate the most offensive person here at jackassworld, especially since she produced the second most offensive person here at jackassworld, too. So, from all of us here at the office, “Happy Birthday, Jackysnail!”

Part 4 of the Nitro Circus cast launch special, in which Street Bike Tommy fulfills his stunt dummy potential; everyone turns their attention on Gregg Godfrey, “the Jeff Tremaine of Nitro Circus,” while Johnny Knoxville points out the one striking difference between the two; and a last rollicking look is had at a few of the stunts that will soon be making their televised debut come Sunday, February 8, at 10:00pm EST/PST on MTV.

So if I am to understand correctly there were many among you that may have become rather hot, bothered, and god knows what else by yesterday’s audio-enhanced photo selection (it was also very interesting to see who was and who was not familiar with the sight of door number two). Accordingly, we now feel compelled, if not obligated, to cool you off with a nice, cool shower courtesy of the Wildboyz—or at least one half of the wildery duo and a famously diminutive guest star. Don’t spend it all in one place. (more…)

Throughout the two year run of Wildboyz, the Black Mamba slapped many different heads and wore many different hats. By this, I mean the perpetual nemesis of peaceful rest generally took on the qualities of whatever country or culture that Steve-O and Chris Pontius happened to be in the midst of besmirching (or in the process of being besmirched by). In this particular nudist camp instance, however, the sadistic mamba truly lived up to its snakey form to deliver what can only be termed as a “Black Lombardi.” (more…)

Part 3 of the Nitro Circus cast launch special, in which many people have much to say about the natural athletic abilities of professional skier/base jumper Erik Roner and his equally amazing “tramp stamp”; the personality, skills, and competitive nature of Andy Bell are unclothed and open to debate by all; and a monster truck is driven where no monster truck was ever meant to go (but goddamn am I glad it did). (more…)

There really aren’t that many things I regret having done in life, but there is one thing I do semi-regret not doing and that was traveling the world on the Wildboyz production dime. This incredibly fortunate crew saw places, peoples, animals, and other ungodly things that most would only dream about doing if they even knew about them in the first place, but I made the sole choice to stay behind in Los Angeles to witness the early stage development of my son. He was born only six months prior to the start of Wildboyz in 2003, and with the crew on a travel schedule that had them out on the road for at least 30 days every two months I knew he’d be out of diapers and flipping me the bird before I’d even had a chance to see him crawl. (more…)

Part 2 of the Nitro Circus cast launch special, in which Jolene Van Vugt, a/k/a “Nitro Girl,” proves that just because a girl has a vagina it doesn’t mean she can’t have balls, too (and extra big ones at that); the crew fondly looks back upon the epic Pastranaland motorcycle jump that single-handedly proved Street Bike Tommy to be worth his weight in fool’s gold; and a hydroplaning glimpse at stunts to come is made.
