Knoxville was told not to let go of the bike, no matter what don’t let go. He let go and that is how he ended up this way. It’s funny to see his first attempt, which is also in the video clips, he fell off straight away before he even hit the ramp.
Good score for Knoxville even though he did get hurt. Lots of publicity involved and now the world has seen his princess bedazzled pee bag strapped to his ankle, that he kept for one more day just for Jimmy Kimmel.
The second clip talks about his new website JackassWorld and Steve-O’s rap album coming out soon.

Knoxville, known for his daring moves, is definitely not an experienced motorcycle rider. His tribute for the extremely daring and talented Evel Knievel went horribly wrong. Knoxville was attempting a back flip on a motorcycle when something he did was not right. He ended up almost losing his balls [I wouldn’t know how that feels] and a torn urethra.
Here is what Knoxville said back on his blog Feb. 5th
Just got back from Oklahoma where I was shooting “Mat Hoffman’s tribute to Evel Knievel.” Had a ball, too, even though I almost lost my own balls in the process. Don’t want to give too much away because the tribute airs Feb 23rd on MTV, but let’s just say before letting Travis Pastrana teach me how to do a backflip on a motorcycle I should have had him teach me to ride one first. Heh-heh…bad for me, good for our viewing audience at home. Have to go now. Have to empty the piss bag on my leg that I have to wear for the next two weeks until my torn urethra heals. Ouch, and see you on the 23rd. By the way, lots of great stuff in the Evel Knievel tribute besides my trip to the hospital—lots!
