    I guess I'll try this. I hated myself at first for watching Jackass and laughing but slapstick still has a place at the humor table--and they get paid for this, after all. I don't watch the "amateur" YouTube personal disasters and wipe outs, though. My schadenfreude level is too low, I guess.

    Like Jackass, this is one of those things that I might watch at 1 am if nothing better is on. My favorite part was the dirt jump on the roadbike. Actually, I'm not sure if I even get MTV, so maybe I can't watch it.

    You know what would be cool? If they actually landed some of the stunts once in a while. Just sayin'.

    On one hand, I'm thinking "dude: the 90s Xtreme Craze and Jackass are over"


    On the other hand, I'm thinking "OMFG so rad"

    I can't wait. This looks so cool.


    I'll never remember to watch it though. I can't watch TV, I always forget to. I mean, I'll turn on the TV and watch it for a good 5 or 6 ours every 8 hours, but I'll be damned if I can actually remember to watch something I'd like to. Its vicious.

    DVR'ed this show and watched it last night. Liked it, didn't love it but found it entertaining enough to set the DVR again for next week's show.


    The guy who missed the foam pit and went face-first into the parked bulldozer made me a little queasy though.

    As much as I dislike MTV, I give them serious "props" if you will, for this. It's like Jackass, but with more engines.

    Awright! Jackass with horsepower, and even less regard for the well being of fat guys. What could be better?

    Not interested. I don't watch auto races for the crashes. I don't watch sports for the fights. I don't enjoy other people's pain.


    This is just a tremendously sad commentary on the state of society, culture, entertainment, and the television industry's decision that it no longer needs writers for shows. Next up, self amputations?

    The show looks pretty cool to me, I hate MTV, but Travis Pastrana is an insanely talented guy, I'm interested to see what he pulls off.

    This is the more impressive version of this HotD (which has some awesome replies).


    Needs more beep, beep, beep when it backs up, though.

    When I was a truck and tractor tyre fitter, I used to get to drive all sorts of machinery, Bobcats were my fav.


    One day I go to a timber and garden supplies store just north of Sydney to replace the tyres on a Bobcat. The guy who worked there saw me having problems with a faulty traction lock button; I couldn't get the bloody thing to turn, it just gave a horrible graunching noise. He decided to help by coming up from behind with a large fork lift (without me knowing) and drove the tynes straight under the arse of the bobcat and up I go...


    ...In a panic I push the drive leavers forward thinking I've somehow done a wheel-stand and need to slow it down some. The right-side wheels catches the tyne of the forklift and over I go slamming the cat onto it's left side from an approx 2-3 foot drop smacking my head into the roll bar.


    Half a dozen employees and a boss come straight over and helped me out. I had cuts on my leg and concussion from a padded roll bar and in a complete daze wondering how the hell the Bobcat launched itself in the air. A witness filled me in on what happened and ol' mate on the fork was given the ominous 'come see me in my office' adage and I never saw him again.


    I was there a year later to see a new Bobcat and a guy who could REALLY drive it. Apart from the regular wheelies and doughnuts, he demonstrated to my utter amazement; a pirouette on one wheel!
