Skulls & Shopping Carts
A Jackass Tribute
By JJ
Dedication
For every broken bone, black eye, and belly laugh.
To the lunatics who made pain look like freedom.
This one’s for the crew.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
THANKS TO THE original Jackass crew — not just for the stunts, but for the spirit. You taught a generation that friendship is forged in fire, bruises, and absolute stupidity.
Special thanks to my dad for introducing me to the chaos early, and for never turning the channel.
Thanks to everyone who ever wheeled a friend downhill in a shopping cart — whether you knew it or not, you were carrying the torch.
And of course, thanks to you — the reader — for picking this one up. You’re now officially part of the tribe.
