They brought us
Jackass. And
Viva La Bam. And now MTV,the network that turned the nut shot into a prime time entertainment juggernaut, is reloading the testosterone and adrenaline tank with two new shows:
Rob Dyrdeck's Fantasy Factory and
Nitro Circus.
In
Fantasy Factory, pro skater Rob Dyrdek of
Rob and Big fame, has turned a 25,000 square foot industrial complex into a skateboard and sports funhouse filled with zip-lines, foam pits, skate ramps, and an industrial sized first-aid kit. Action sports pals swing by regularly to dream up new insanity. (Premiers Sunday night at 9pm EST)
For
Nitro Circus,
Jackass producers, Jeff Tremaine and Johnny Knoxville have teamed up with the creators of the Nitro Circus DVD series, Travis Pastrana, Gregg Godfrey and Jeremy Rawle to create an adrenaline-fueld pissing contest for your viewing pleasure. Pastrana and other extreme sports pros compete to see who can best tempt death, give him a firm "F You", and come out alive. Think of it as
Jackass on steroids, with a side of Jager shots and a complete absence of common sense. In other words, television gold. (Premiers Sunday night at 10pm EST)
