Okay, time to flush the toilet here on some transitional remnants from seasons 2 and 3 of the jackass television series that were never preserved for digital eternity. Things clinging to the bowl include: Guch getting radical on a kiddy slide in Portland, Oregon; Bam threading the needle while crossing Gay and High in West Chester, Pennsylvania; Steve-O thwocking his head on an airboat in the Everglades of Florida; and then an assortment of unorthodox jacuzzi moves by the cast at our favorite hotel destination spot in Orlando, Florida.

While the fate of Prop 8 has yet to be decided here in California, let’s take a morning golf break with Bam and Ryan Dunn from the extra-features set of jackass number two (more specifically the subsequent jackass 2.5). Oddly enough, this stunt almost did result in a break as Johnny Knoxville pretty much drove his driver right up Main Street and straight into Dunn’s coccyx. And, if I’m not mistaken, that’s about the third time the word coccyx has been used here on jackassworld in the last week or two. But, you know us, we just can’t get enough coccyx around here as it is.

Skateboarders are uncannily tuned into their immediate environment. I never fail to amuse my wife by gazing longingly at what would, to the normal person, appear to be an everyday average bench, ledge, or stair/rail formation, the same such distracted look that most guys would chance on a hot chick passing by with a revealing top or bangin’ caboose. And don’t even get me started on the slightest hint of workable urban transition or infrastructure. (more…)

Things are rarely easy on jackass. Take the prospect of doing a stunt, for instance. The stunt in itself is generally enough to make any participant slightly less than enthused, but what further compounds the matter is knowing that once you’re finished with the main event you’re still not exactly out of the woods. In fact, it’s usually post-stunt that things tend to go from bad to worse. So as much of a physical trial that it is to commit to something it’s even more of a sustained rollercoaster in the mental sense. (more…)

Ah, Orlando… If we ever did go ahead and start production on the fabled jackass 3, which we haven’t, for all you unbelievers out there, I doubt we’d be able to pass up one more trip to this city. Or, more importantly, the hotel of horrors that gave us carte blanche to do most anything and everything within the confines of its property, including nakedness in the lobby, more nakedness in the elevators, and even more nakedness in the conference rooms.

I stage dived once. ONCE. Nobody caught me, so it fuckin’ hurt. I thought I broke my coccyx. So it’s a tad frustrating to see feats such as this. Is he trying to die? Gnarly. (more…)

This is kind of like early Dyrdek. Does anybody get that? No, probably not. I’m getting to be like my dad: he used to have conversations with himself in his head and then include the rest of the family mid-way through. (more…)

I’ve been around skateboarding a long time now. Not as long as some, to be sure, but still long enough to have seen a few generations of skaters come and go—like guys who are in their thirties now that I first met when they were knee-high 12-year-olds with flutey-flute voices. This can be somewhat disconcerting at times, if only because I don’t particularly care to be reminded of my present age, but it is interesting to see how some have progressed in life throughout the years.

Here’s a double-banger for y’all with an eye for detail. To set the scene, the scene is set in Bull Shoals, Arkansas, where we spent the majority of our time playing with riot weaponry for jackass number two. (more…)

Lately my inbox here on jackassworld has been besieged by questions about this so called “Too Hot” tape that was mentioned in Johnny Knoxville’s recent interview with Stephen Chao. Queries like, “What is it?” “Where can I find it?” and “Was it for sale?” What better way to respond to all of the above than with a scatty little clip from that very same “Too Hot” tape. (more…)
