What a great story. Well told. The fact that Steve-O has so much childhood/teenage footage of himself is amazing. He has proof of nearly EVERY story he tells.

[@Chris_Diggity]

He really does!! 😆

[@Jesse__H]

Him and Bam both.

[@KSE828]

That’s because he did an interview somewhere where he said that he feels more comfortable behind a camera than not.

[@ididitfordarock6447]

It’s amazing your totally right, he clearly had so much self belief in what he was doing sober or not that he always captured it all!

[@zamboslambo5243]

The sheer amount of footage seriously is stunning, he was ahead of his time in that regard without a doubt

I remember being young and thinking... "Damn Steve-O is gonna die if he keeps going like this." It's pretty amazing how he's turned everything around. Dude you are the poster child of recovery. I'm super proud of what you have become. YEAAAH DUUUDE!

[@ShartyMcPoops]

I grew up close to where Bam lived and I remember my junior year of high school there was a VHS tape being passed around our local skatepark of kids doing dumb shit, things we all did but couldn't afford a camcorder to record it. We would watch it for days laughing our ass off then pass it along to someone else at the park. Come to find out a few years later it was an original cut of Bams footage which later turned into the 3 part CKY series. It was crazy to see what the original was like vs what they cut out so they could sell it in stores. Many years later when I was stationed in Maryland I met Steve-O at the DC Improv show for his first tour, took one of the most awkward pictures of my life and got my book signed. I could only imagine where that tape ended up, did some pissed off mom throw it away, was it watched until the tape inside couldn't be played anymore, or is it sitting in a box in a garage somewhere?

[@aaronm2283]

I heard about this when I was a young kid from my older cousins. I was skater and got really obsessed but didn’t even watch a episode. So one night I sneaked downstairs as my parents were sleeping and clicked on MTV and watched my first episode. My dad heard me and came downstairs to shout at me as it was late. He got very distracted with what I was watching and we both sat on the couch laughing our heads off. We laughed together so loud we woke the whole house up. Before you know it my sisters and mom was downstairs. My mom didn’t approve of it but definitely did giggle every now then. Good memories. It’s like my parents actually started to understand me. I was also very hyper active and a bit of a outcast. I was into punk music and skate boarding and it was the first time I felt like my parents supported my hobbies and interest and always took me to skate parks and so I can hang out with my friends.

[@seanconnell3414]

That's awesome and heartwarming

[@gwenmoyer3312]

i remember not being allowed to watch jackass as a kid but my siblings would sneak me into my brothers room to watch it. i started skateboarding because of BAM, but had to stop because of a bad injury. watching your videos and jackass brings back so many memories🙏

[@aye_its_karate6169]

Even though I wasn’t the target audience, Jackass was absolutely huge for my childhood. Jackass made me a fan of skateboarding (even though I’ve never been able to skateboard whatsoever lol). That led me to Tony Hawk and all his amazing video games, which led me to some amazing music I never would’ve discovered otherwise. Jackass introduced me to so much stuff that would become a staple of my childhood. I’m 25 now and I look back at it with fondness. Thank you, Steve-O and to all the Jackass guys for making my childhood so great! I love you guys! P.S, I’m from Knoxville just like Johnny. Johnny is a hero around my hometown and his dad actually owns a deli type of store that has all kinds of pictures of Johnny in it. His dad is an absolute sweetheart and I’ve met him dozens of times over my life!)

The Bones Brigade vid came out the year I was born. Great video of legends. I would eventually pick up skateboarding in 1995. I remember my first vid Toy Machine's "Welcome to Hell" and the slam section was insane! I have the issue of you first appearing in Big Brother mag, "The Burning Boy" issue. I still have The Big Brother vhs tapes. It was a classic magazine. Classic vids too. Thanks mom and pops for the subscription. Also you're and inspiration @stevo, I'm now almost 5 1/2 years sober from black tar heroin. Thank you stevo!

[@gussetblaster6786]

My god, i just can't begin to describe how important Big Brother magazine was to me back in those early days. Whenever i would get a new copy i'd be so excited that it felt like Christmas each time. I suddenly became super interested in reading, writing, telling stories, photography... etc One day my Mum flicked through one of my magazines and she was so horrified that she threw it out and said i couldn't buy them anymore. But that didn't stop me. I started hiding them in the roof of our house and it felt like i had an important project to maintain. It goes to show that there should always be freedom of expression as those shocking magazines inspired my creative side in the long run.

[@hailtothe_rooster1572]

CKY is where it started for me. Opened up a whole world of fuckery I happened to love!!! Of course as a young advocate of the marijuana an older co worker showed me the tape and the world was never the same again. Before I even seen jackass me and all my buddies did the dumbest shit we could get away with at all the strip malls. We even built hides to disappear from the cops….

[@doomslayer3373]

I'm glad someone else sees this perspective of it. I actually think Bam and the cky crew deserve more credit than what is explained in this video, I mean yes Jackass was born from putting together big brother videos and cky videos, but the cky crew already had multiple movies of their own before there was any talk of jackass, and jackass basically took that idea and claimed it as their own and now because of Bams mental state and being unable to be in the lastest (and worst) movie, seems like they are going out their way to make sure Bam now gets as little credit as possible. Also and interesting way for the Jackass crew to show their support for their fellow crew member, don't get me wrong I love Steveo and the entire Jackass crew but how they have treated Bam is very wrong in my eyes

Ahh so this is how they want the story told while doing their best to ignore bams influence on most of the show lol

[@danieljimenez1989]

I thought the same. It's true that Big Brother was successful and all, but we all know CKY was pretty huge. Bam had already hit it big by the time jackass came about.

@@danieljimenez1989 yeah johnnys rly done his best to screw this franchise, the last movie bought woke nobody's that most people dont know or care about and that was bc they could pay them nothing, they screwed the movie up and stole the money, screwed bam out of his contract for a prescription drug that johnny himself takes and now they are trying to rewrite him out of the story and they are using steve o to do it and im ashamed of steve o for doing it

@@mikehoncho658 they were so close yo mutilating one of their cheap 'costars', too. Left him permanently injured and thought it was a great deal for the guy.

I remember when the first episode hit MTV omg it was so dang funny. And it still funny 20 years later.

Awesome story, bro! Thanks for sharing! Would love to read a copy of your book!

[@saintsataniko2116]

TOO HOT FOR KZbin! I needed that logo. My tiny five-year old comic book channel was permanently "terminated" by KZbin because of a pixelated drawing of a sex act. No strikes, no warnings, no explanations. The whole channel just deleted! BIG BROTHER is always watching, and he's more Draconian than ever.

Thank you for making my evening awesome, Steve-O

3 years sober thanks for the inspiration to quit and the inspiration to film 🤜🤛😎🤙

[@blackenedmartyr]

Got my deck in the mail! Super psyched to have yours and Knoxville's signatures now!

[@wyattevan6902]

SO awesome! Love your videos man 🤘🏻

[@TOM-C.]

This brought to mind the advent of urethane wheels which were an unbelievable upgrade over the previous use of steel, and clay composites. You should do a video on Frank Nasworthy's invention as without it, the skateboard scene wouldn't have moved along as fast as it did. 😁✌👍

[@MuskokaLocal]

CKY videos. Plain and simple.

[@ThatNiceDutchGuy]

Thank you and all the team members for their wildly insane and funny clips!

[@TheDragon160]

This was amazing. Steve-o thank you!!!!

[@Flufffffy985]

Cky was a big part

[@NobodyPeopleWY]

Ain’t no Jackass without CKY. A 10 second mention doesn’t do them justice.

[@lovewins7412]

Thanks for the juicy content! Hope to see you for my 42nd birthday next month in NC!

[@khrissyboy69]

Very well done. You hit on every beat
