How To // Skateboarding Research

Bam Margera

Ryan Sheckler and Nick Dompierre

Pro skaters most of them don't wear protective gear when skateboarding. I spoke to Seb in our group who skates a lot and he said it just isn't 'cool'. The culture that goes with skateboarding seems to view danger as cool.

The concept of Jackass was created when Johnny Knoxville first started writing and filming for Big Brother Magazine, a skateboarding-related humor magazine. He performed various stunts such as testing self defence techniques on himself. Comedy Central and MTV bid on the idea and MTV won. Jackass was created. Jason Acuña and Bam Margera are both co-stars and professional skaters. Skateboarding and Jackass are very closely linked.
