steve-o and mat hoffman in spain
In show business you get offered to do a lot of things for money. Some are okay and you agree, some are dumb and you decline. But sometimes that thought process goes out the window if there is travel involved. You think, I don’t really care to do that at the money they are offering, but if it’s in somewhere like Tokyo or Spain and they throw in round-trip tickets for you and your family, your urge to travel overrides your normal process of discretion. I mean, I’ve done it before and I honestly can’t wait to do it again. What, you want me to open a T-shirt store in Shibuya and I get round-trip first class tickets to Tokyo? Heck yeah, that sounds great! You tell yourself, “No one in America will ever find out … I get paid, I get to travel, woohoo!” I am sure that was exactly what Mat Hoffman and Steve-O were thinking when they accepted the gig to have oranges shot at them in Spain. I can hear Steve-O now, “C’mon, Mat, they want to send us to Madrid. We’ll get paid and the only people that will ever know are you and me.” Well, that may have been true if it weren’t for jackassworld, and unfortunately for Mat and O we had cameras there to cover it. Sorry, Mat. Sorry, Steve-O. Maybe this won’t be as embarrassing when we post the footage of me at the grand opening of that dry cleaners in Latvia. Woohoo!

Now here's something you don't get to do every day (even if you are some fancy-pants Hollywood production), but it certainly helps when you know friends who know friends in high places

Ever since I moved to the Valley of Los Angeles eight years ago, I pretty much wiped myself off the face of the Hollywood social scene. No one visits me. No one invites me anywhere. Heck, for most of my friends they think I live just south of San Francisco.

With the smell of sweat-soaked pads wafting through the Los Angeles morning air, we're more than happy to jump and fuck the shit out of a hot Google keyword. So here's a playlist of X-like encounters from jackass, Wildboyz, and Nitro Circus

mat hoffman’s danger defying daredevil show at six flags
Legendary BMX rider Mat Hoffman invited Rick Kosick to come out to Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park in Valencia, CA, to preview his new attraction, “Mat Hoffman’s Danger Defying Daredevil Show”. If there’s anyone who would know how to set something of this caliber up it would surely be Mat, but I have to give him an extreme amount of extra credit just for making Rick Kosick defy a certain amount of danger himself by stepping into the steel cheesegrater globe of death. In a way you could say it’s a come uppance. After all, Kosick was one of the key instigators in getting Dave Carnie to enter a similar spherical situation while behind the scenes on a Nitro Circus shoot last season. Payback’s a bitch, though, because Kosick did not just have to contend with one motorbike orbiting his heavenly body—he had three ripping about him in orchestrated elliptical fashion. I know a cameraman generally isn’t a component of Mat’s DDD show, but I’d go back time and time again just to watch Kosick quake and stucco his underpants. Bonus: The Condor flies again!

After a massive dry spell, Shanna is popping out Purple Ponies like a professional Thai ping-pong champion. In this spicy interview with Mat Hoffman, BMX legend and apparent fan of freeballing, Shanna gets him to open up about the Chia Pet in his pants

I met Mat Hoffman in 1987 at a demo he rode in for Rockville BMX. He was just a kid, but he was already going twice as big as anybody had ever gone on a bike.

My timing is a little off on this post, but then again time itself was a little askew throughout the whole jackassworld 24-hour takeover of the MTV studios in general.
