Definately sucks. I guess he was speeding in his porsche, went over a guardrail, hit a tree and the car caught fire. Dunn and his passenger died.

Guess you can only run for so long before Darwin's principles make a decision on you.

Tis the truth my friends. But you can't say it wasn't coming to him, slowly and slowly, I bet more of these guys start ending up dead, sad, but true.

But on a serious note, His Tire Skidmarks went for 100 feet straight, then abruptly swerved to the right toward the guard rail. Now in my knowledge of simply watching these cops/accident shows occasionally, when tire tracks lead a far distance, only to suddenly turn/swerve. Usually the case is concluded by determining that the Driver was slamming on their brakes, to avoid hitting something, thus explaining the sudden turn.

With that said, specialist agree, YES, Dunn was drinking earlier that night "more than likely continued", and he was in a Wooded Area. Hell I live in a wooded area still surrounded by a big city "milwaukee", and I see deer in my backyard/roadways almost daily.

But even though with that evidence, Its pretty safe to say that he was speeding slightly, and probably trying to avoid hitting a Deer.

Not to rain on anyone's parade whatsoever, especially you tim, but look a little closer, do a few more minutes of researching, for once in the guys life, Maybe he wasn't being a Jackass doing something dumb...

Jeff.

Shit, honestly guys, I'm surprise half of them aren't dead already. I remember one was dealing with a hell of Heroin problem for a long time, until they got him clean "supposedly". But seriously, Steve-O, Johnny Knoxville, & Chris Rabb "Rabb Himself", should've all OD'd a while ago.

In half of these skits they absolutely HAVE to be speedballing to take the ridiculous amount of pain, just watch the one where 4 of them sit on teeter totters in the middle of a Bull Ring, Only to get bucked and fucked all over. God how does someone do something so senseless, and continue todo this kind of shit, three words my friends, Blow & Methamphetamine's. They have only a clue of what they are really doing.

Just a drunken thought.

The ridiculously amounts of money they were making for just doing what they've done since they were teenagers in high school doing this shit without budgets. That's why.

I remember when these guys first broke out through the skateboarding industry. Jeff Tremaine was working for Big Brother skateboarding magazine when they made the video "Number 2" this is where a lot of the 'taboo' antics began...featuring Knoxville, Wee-Man and some others. At one point it was owned by Larry Flynt.

A few years later...Bam, Brandon Dicamillo, Dunn, Chris Raab, and a few others made the movie 'CKY' through a skateboarding wheel company called Landspeed. There was a good deal of skatebording in it, but also had plenty of pranks and skits. This video started it all. If you're a fan of Jackass and never saw the original CKY flick...now would be the time.

Oh yeah I've seen It man, I used to skate for 7 years myself, and still to this day, most of those guys have some skills. But honestly, I don't think its the only the insane amounts of cash, but what the fuck a person is todo with all of it. Being we love our cars, and were mostly Cheap DSM'ers on a small budget, I'm sure we would ALL find a way to spend the cash if we really didn't want to save it.

Correction, "we could all find THOUSANDS of ways to spend the money". But even so, how is a person no supposed to get sucked into something, when you just don't need to worry about finances, wether it be booze, built cars, or Beach Home's on the Ocean, seems a little too tempting...

But again, how do you take that kind of pain? With drugs its simple.

But yes, I do remember the days where Wee Man & the others started showing up in more and more of Skate Video's. Wee Man still skate's, continuing his sponsorship with Think, I believe working on a new part for a Video.

Yes though, I would have to agree, most of these guys weren't the smartest, nor were they stupid though. People will pay quite alot to see someone else in pain to entertain.

I guess its just a bit sad, because many of us grew up in the whole Era of it all, and while I didn't always like the things they did, and the ways they played themselves out, I did enjoy it while it lasted.

This fatal accident could've happened to any one of us. Fucking Stoned Sober or not.
