Celebrity Johnny Knoxville Recovering from Motorcycle Injury During a stunt the bike's handlebar landed "on my crotch," says the Jackass star By Mike Fleeman Published on February 21, 2008 03:45 PM Share Tweet Pin Email Video courtesy of www.jackassworld.com Talk about suffering for your, er, art. Johnny Knoxville, the force behind the cringe-inducing, don’t-do-this-at-home program Jackass, is recovering from a painful injury suffered in a motorcycle stunt taped for a 24-hour marathon special for MTV. “I decided I could back-flip a motorcycle,” Knoxville, 36, tells PEOPLE. “I guess I should have decided if I could ride a motorcycle beforehand, because I can’t. The bike goes about 15 feet in the air, comes down and breaks off the handlebar on my crotch.” Following the accident two weeks ago, Knoxville was treated for a torn urethra and has been mostly been bedridden – and constantly uncomfortable – but was proud to announce he just had his catheter removed Thursday. “My girlfriend was very supportive of me,” he jokes. “Thank God, today I am a man again. I can resume my manly functions.” Otherwise, all is well in the land of Jackass. In addition to filling all of MTV’s programming this weekend, Knoxville’s antics will be available on a new Web site, www.jackassworld.com. “We’ll be functioning like a network. We can do anything we want,” he says, pauses, and adds. “We’ll see how that goes.”
