see you sunday finale throws – behind the scenes with kosick
See you Sunday? More like see you a month-and-a-f’ing-half later. That’s right, f’ing. Regardless, timing and swearing be darned, here is Rick Kosick’s take on some of the more behind-the-scenes moments that transpired when the Nitro Circus clan joined Rob Dyrdek at the Fantasy Factory (with Jason “Mayhem” Miller) to film some transitional stunts to spice up the night of their respective season finale debuts. Guest-starring Jason Ellis, Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Jeff Tremaine, and Tim Healy’s gobbled goods! (more…)

While the very idea of a "factory" can sound mechanical and produced to a fault, there is indeed something bordering on magical when it comes to that zone of concrete situated beneath the Fantasy Factory's illogically high basketball hoop.

I've never punched a person in the face before. I guess it's a visceral thing I just don't have the mental gristle for, because it takes a lot for me to get seriously keyed-up in the physical sense. And even then it's not like I could whip out a cute Bruce Banner phrase like, "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."

With the "See You Sunday" clips spilling out in rapid, daily succession this week, I've somehow gotta get rid of my excess shots from that night, so here you go. It's fancy pants flip book time again. There's something for everyone here, I believe (even Marciano!)

The lead up to the tennis ball cannon throw was a lot more tense until it actually started firing—or make that misfiring, because its mechanics soon started to hiccup and fuck-up to the point where Johnny Knoxville himself was hucking balls at the clearly marked balls below.

“see you sunday” finale throws – zipline bowling
What do you do when you have a prominent cast member that can be likened to a human bowling ball? You use him as such. Woe to the foremost human bowling pin in this “See You Sunday” scenario, though, because even the hard-fat of Jeremy Rawle was no match for the zip-lined soft-fat of Streetball Tommy.
Days prior to the scheduled "See You Sunday" shoot at the Fantasy Factory, Mike Kassak and Scott Manning were employed to build two large ramps for the purpose of a wall-ride/transfer stunt. I'm not sure if this had been done before with a motorbike on a vertical plane

If'n you remember from earlier in the seasons of Nitro Circus and Fantasy Factory, Travis Pastrana and the gang visited Rob Dyrdek and significantly raised the bar with regard to the basketball hoop posted high above the foam pit.

Almost a month ago now, on Thursday, April 23rd to be precise, the casts of Nitro Circus, Fantasy Factory, and Bully Beatdown converged to film throws to the shows' MTV season finales on April 26th. We even promoted the extra-special nature of this night here on jackassworld

This past March, President Barack Obama verbally slipped up on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno by equating his bowling skills to those on par with athletes that participate in the Special Olympics.

fantasy factory - thurs at 9pm on MTV
We've known Rob Dyrdek for a long time now, ever since the fateful Big Brother Mardi Gras road trip in February 1995, during which time Jeff Tremaine momentarily converted Dyrdek into a neophyte country western absurdist. Two years later Dyrdek stepped up and broke Tremaine's nose, a sure as shit sign as any that one day they were destined to become entertainment bedfellows in Hollywood. First came Rob & Big. Now it’s the Fantasy Factory.
