It’s that time again … a trip down jackass memory lane, including one—no need to mention names now—whose memory needs a bit more help and prodding than others at times. Today’s treasured recollection pertains to the “Snake River BMX” jump attempted by Ryan Dunn in the city of West Chester, PA, circa November 2000, with special appearances by our former production manager Michelle “Get in the Van!” Klepper, Phil and April “The Getaway Car Mom” Margera, Johnny “I was there?” Knoxville, and Ryan “Random Hero” Dunn.

This segment was a little out of the ordinary for us in that the crew ran afoul with the law that day and they even made the front page of the Daily Local News (no, not the article about spreading HIV—I mean, spreading the word about HIV). The headline is a bit blown out in the photo below, but it reads “Members of MTV show fined for trespassing.” Must have been a slow day for rumbles in the Chester County area.

And now that you’ve been behind the scenes on this particular production, here’s the scene as it was formerly televised back in 2001:
