Jackass theme for annual pram race in Sussex


Wacky racers wheeled out their prams for an annual charity dash.

Teams pushing their homemade vehicles went head to head on Boxing Day in the East Hoathly and Halland pram race.

This year's 'Jackass' theme meant competitiors dressed as Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O and other stars from the MTV show.

The event began in the Seventies and became part of the area's Christmas celebrations.

It was abandoned in the Eighties but seven years ago, members of the East Hoathly and Halland Carnival Society society decided to revive it and proceeds go to charity.

Jackass is about as inspirational as Robert Mugabe and as funny as Gary Hart doing an after dinner speech on Rail Safety

Oh I don't know Norris I find it quite amusing to be honest. Justs boys being boys nothing wrong with that. Didn't you ever get upto a bit of mischief as a lad?

It's definitely far more entertaining and hilarious than you ever were on Recordbreakers!
