nitro circus – behind the scenes with knoxville and his catheter
Johnny Knoxville is one of the Executive Producers on Nitro Circus, a position that is usually well behind the scenes and far from the camera, but the basis of the show being what it is—stunts, stunts, and more stunts—that would be like trying to keep the kid out of a candy factory on par with Willy Wonka’s (Gene Wilder’s version, mind you). 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…)

evel knievel days in butte, montana, july 24th-26th, 2008
Hey kids, if you are up around Butte, Montana, July 24th-26th, I would head over to the Evel Knievel Days event that’s happening there. It’s a helluva show where some of the world’s greatest stuntmen get together to perform some unbelievable goddamn stunts, all in honor of the man himself, Evel Knievel. Stuntman Spanky Spangler, who worked with Evel, will be performing and doing some crazy shit for sure. Spanky worked with us on the Evel Knievel Tribute back in February, and just know if Spanky is going to be there, shit is going to go boom. Spanky is a sweet guy, but he is a crazy som’ bitch! Wahoo!!! Anyway, it’s a fun time for everybody, and its a great way to celebrate the spirit of most every grown man’s childhood hero and the man I broke my penis for, Mr. Evel Knievel. Once again, that’s July 24th, 25th, and 26th in Butte, Montana—Evel Kneviel Days! Wahoooo!!!
