What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this "action sports" video site from Tony Hawk and the FunnyorDie.com folks includes a "don't try this at home" disclaimer, but glorifies athletes (and amateurs) who attempt potentially dangerous tricks. The videos also have some gory imagery. Users can sign up to post comments (most are kept clean, but there is some swearing), upload videos, and create a profile (which can include personal information like birthdate, location, a photo, and links).
Educational value:
Not applicable.
Violence:
Videos of tricks gone wrong; one gory video shows an athlete squeezing blood out of his elbow.
Sex:
Stunt videos are clean; a handful of the interviews have some sexual comments (Example: Bam Margera interview talks about men having sex with men).
Language:
Some cursing in videos and comments, although most of them are clean.
Consumerism:
Occasional ads and cross-promotion. Some of the profiles link to outside sites that sell stuff (mostly surf, skate, and snowboarding gear).
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Some showed drinking and smoking; one was shot in a bar.
