Anyway, almost a year ago to the day we’re posting this now, Knoxville first met Travis Pastrana in Oklahoma while shooting the Evel Knievel tribute special for the jackassworld 24-hour takeover of MTV. Of course he just couldn’t sit there on the sidelines watching everyone else have fun, so Johnny asked Travis to give him some pointers on how to do a backflip on a motorbike—none of which he really took to heart. Hell, if anything he took them straight to the dick. (more…)
