These webclips feature stunts performed either by professionals or under the supervision of professionals. MTV and the producers must insist that no one attempt any activity performed on the site.

The very first Big Brother skateboard video, Shit, featured a quick clip of a guy named Socrates Leal bailing out of a backside 5-0 on a very waxed up ledge in Los Angeles. Socrates was (and still is) a filmer for the then World Industries conglomerate (now called Dwindle), and he periodically worked for us on Big Brother, contributing footage and filming our idiocy (namely the East Coast tour in 1995). Last year we interviewed Soc for the (always) forthcoming Big Brother documentary and in this outtake he talks about his infamous slam that Dimitry caught on tape.
