Five words: One of MTV's awesome shows.

  • It's Skateboarding segments like this one.
  • In the Big Red Rocket, a skit that would make Wile E. Coyote proud, Johnny Knoxville almost gets seriously wounded, or killed, when the first rocket blows up, one of the fireworks narrowly missing his sides. Most people would call it a day, Knoxville decides to laugh it off and try it again... and succeeds.
  • During the Gauntlet in the first movie, everyone is trying to skate, bike, or roller blade down a course full of swinging beanbags on ropes. One of them (Mike Kassak) does it blindfolded. He's the only one to make it! Even Tony Hawk was impressed.
  • The Flight of Icarus bit from Forever. Johnny Knoxville dresses up as Icarus, complete with wings, and gets shot out of a cannon! He even remembers to spread his wings upon takeoff. The shot of him flying toward the camera is just majestic.
