Now here’s something you don’t get to do every day (even if you are some fancy-pants Hollywood production), but it certainly helps when you know friends who know friends in high places—the key condor in this case being BMX legend and Six Flags Magic Mountain Danger Defying Daredevils ringmaster Mat Hoffman. So check out this more true to life take on the Superman ride, as Erik Roner and Travis Pastrana leap off this structure in a single thrilling bound. To see this, more, and other stuff of the stunty-like, check out tonight’s all-new episode of Nitro Circus at 10:00pm ET/PT on MTV.

Through no great leaps or bounds of the juvenile imagination, I’m guessing that Travis may have grown up with the occasional name of “Pastrami” being thrown his way in moments of mockery. (Granted, any bullies that may have done so are probably eating their own words right now as their fat going nowhere asses fill out the sofa recliner with a sixer in one hand and 12-inch hoagie in the other while watching replays of Travis doing double back-flips on ESPN.) In this particular stunty instance, though, Travis could have easily wound up as a brutally shaved pile of pastrami strewn all over the desert landscape. Propellers are no joke, so make sure you catch tonight’s episode of Nitro Circus at 10:00pm ET/PT on MTV to see how everyone yuks their way through yet another breath-holding moment with Travis.

What better way to kick off the new season of Nitro Circus then by staging it in and around the City of Angels—that would be Los Angeles to all you non-heathens. Covering all sectors of the stunty sector, the Nitro cast gets a taste of LA’s world famous Rodney King hospitality, high-flying and hot-flipping roof-to-roof action, rainbow rail riding due east of West Hollywood, and rocket propulsion for the more than average tricycle enthusiast. So dive into the full online episode here on jackassworld, as Travis Pastrana, Andy Bell, Jim DeChamp, Street Bike Tommy, Jolene Van Vugt, Special Greg, and Erik Roner launch their inaugural second season antics in kick ass fashion with guest stars Johnny Knoxville and Jukka Hilden.

Unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. Featuring chilling and hilarious experiences retold by jackass cast members Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, and Chris Pontius. This is your chance to ride shotgun with Manny into the world of the ultimate predators.

This morning, guitar legend and pioneer Les Paul passed away at the rockin’ old age of 94. For those unaware of his impact upon music history, Les was responsible for developing the solid body electric guitar and numerous recording innovations that allowed rock ‘n’ roll to be the sound it is today. And with that in mind, here is a playlist of all the music videos to be found in our archive, including Turbonegro, HDR, CKY, Chris Pontius, Loomis, Dale Watson, The Virginia City Revival, and The Deadly Syndrome. Rest in rock, Les, because peace is for acoustic hippies. (more…)

Last Friday, Steve-O hopped onto the live web cam feed to chat for a bit (five minutes, to be precise), although he didn’t exactly chat so much as he did write about his thoughts on Ryan Sheckler. For those of you who might’ve missed this appearance of Steve-O’s, here are his words:

“Hello Everyone, it’s time for me to type super fast and share my thoughts.

“I’m going to give myself five minutes and start by saying that Ryan Sheckler is fucking gorgeous. (more…)

“kinda pale, a little chubby … but that’s cool. that’s my style.”
—wee-man, describing himself

“i’m afraid stuff will fall off if i hug him too hard.”
—johnny knoxville, while gingerly embracing mat hoffman in a male greeting

“i should have known something was up when i picked up rick and he was really, really nice to me.”
—wolfie, on the office prank we pulled on him

“ever since we got some valuable equipment out here we’ve decided to step it up.”
—dimitry elyashkevich, while hitting plastic footballs with a baseball bat at wolfie’s relocated office equipment

“i like attention and i know how to get it.”
—marf, the amazing dickhouse seal boy, on his clapping like a giddy girl during the football sabotage

“i’m getting shit on by three guys at once!”
—rick kosick, testing the top secret jackassworld pranks application (more…)

In this special sneaked peek, Steve-O talks about his occupational days spent as a clown prior to achieving basic cable fame on MTV. This is, incidentally, the flea market circus that he was liberated from in the late summer of 2000 by Johnny Knoxville, Jeff Tremaine, and the jackass production crew—yes, the very same circus where Steve-O had saved up bins of maggot-infested elephant shit for one of the cockamamie stunts he wanted to perform. Set your viewing sights accordingly on Sunday, May 3rd, to witness the debut of Steve-O: Demise and Rise at 10:00pm EST/PST on MTV. (more…)

Whoo! It’s been four years too long since the last full-length effort by Loomis, so we’re more than happy to announce the release of his latest album Black Black. In the days to come we’ll be rolling out some behind-the-scenes material to promote Black Black (not to mention a fine addition to the jackassworld shop), but why not run over to iTunes in the meantime to acquaint yourself with the tracks and drop a few nickels in Loomis’s pocket. The Captain thanks you in advance! (more…)
