jackassworld

Part 7 of the jackassworld road trip, in which our fear-facing fellowship—Wee Man, Chris Pontius, Danger Ehren, Preston Lacy, Dave England, Mike Kassak, Loomis Fall, JxPx Blackmon, Scott Manning, Dimitry Elyashkevich, Mike G., Rick Kosick, and Sean Cliver—make a diversionary stop at the “Lost Boys” bridge in Santa Cruz, California. Here, hands shake, iPods drop, and a gutterpunk serenades, as tension mounts among the cast. (more…)

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.

Part 6 of the jackassworld road trip, in which our ’80s skate spot shredders—Wee Man, Chris Pontius, Danger Ehren, Preston Lacy, Dave England, Mike Kassak, Loomis Fall, JxPx Blackmon, Scott Manning, Dimitry Elyashkevich, Mike G., Rick Kosick, and Sean Cliver—make a few scenic stops along Highway 1 to rip some prehistoric slabs of cement and view some local farting fauna.

Just the other day someone commented that I always manage to get just the right “wrong” angle with my photos. I couldn’t agree with them more. By no means can this be chalked up to “skill,” though; if anything it is simply “odds.” Throughout the years, from Big Brother to jackass, I’ve witnessed a rather disproportionate number of oddites, atrocities, and what have you, which, in twisted Vegas terms, makes me a “winner” in many photographic instances. I know, to the victor go the spoils, but I’ve always been rather socialized in my artistic worldview, so share I must. And what better place than here! (more…)

This is one of those television series renegades that reaffirms my faith in jackass, meaning dumbshittery continues to abound and prosper throughout the ages. Why exactly “Football Follies” never made it onto the DVD box set is a real D.B. Cooper mystery for the new millennium, but then again there were a lot of things about the jackass series’ move to DVD that never made a whole heck of a lot of sense. Anyone remember when Volumes 2 and 3 came out years before Volume 1? That was a good laugh to be had on the no good account of too many nervous nellies in the bureaucratical bunch. Anyway, it’s nice to have Steve-O, Danger Ehren, and Stephanie Hodge back off the bench and onto the playing field. Yay, team! See you in the showers.

Part 5 of the jackassworld road trip, in which our beach going travelers—Wee Man, Chris Pontius, Danger Ehren, Preston Lacy, Dave England, Mike Kassak, Loomis Fall, JxPx Blackmon, Scott Manning, Dimitry Elyashkevich, Mike G., Rick Kosick, and Sean Cliver—take a lovely hike through the eucalyptus trees at Montaña de Oro to scale and conquer the dunes with a beach ball of love…and doom.

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…)

Part 4 of the jackassworld road trip, in which our cement-craving travelers—Wee Man, Chris Pontius, Danger Ehren, Preston Lacy, Dave England, Mike Kassak, Loomis Fall, JxPx Blackmon, Scott Manning, Dimitry Elyashkevich, Mike G., Rick Kosick, and Sean Cliver—make a stop at the Los Osos public skatepark and cram a session in just prior to sundown.

Part 3 of the jackassworld road trip, in which our heavy metaling travelers—Wee Man, Chris Pontius, Danger Ehren, Preston Lacy, Dave England, Mike Kassak, Loomis Fall, JxPx Blackmon, Scott Manning, Dimitry Elyashkevich, Mike G., Rick Kosick, and Sean Cliver—record an on-the-fly vampire track with Steve-O entitled (more…)

With the close of the week finally at fucking hand, here’s a parting party shot to set the weekend off right (or wrong) For those of you who have ever had the audacity to dispute Jeff Tremaine’s rightful title as the “director” on jackass, dispute no more. While filming the gala close to jackass 2.5, the cast stood clueless, looking to Tremaine for direction as to what exactly was expected of them when the balloons dropped from above—a “one-take” scenario, which meant the pressure was really on. Jeff said something that basically amounted to, “Go nuts!” or “Get crazy!” although it might have even been, “Get gay!” because that’s pretty much what should happen whenever a billboard-sized rainbow flag descends to the floor behind you. So that’s what they did. With gusto. Here’s some proof of this—if you needed it—with a little man on man on man action between Preston Lacy, Bam Margera, and Danger Ehren.
