Have you ever wondered how exactly one becomes a Jackass jackass: see ass. ? Does one grow up aspiring to be a jackass or do they just get thrown into it one day? Well, take it from Chris Raab Chris Raab, credited frequently as Raab Himself (born May 21, 1980 in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania), a member of the CKY Crew, was part of "Bam's crew" on Viva La Bam and appeared in MTV's Jackass, , and . , or more popularly known as Raab Himself, growing up to have a professional career as a Jackass is never part of one's game plan. I intend to write an article profiling Chris Raab, co-star co·star also co-star

tr. & intr.v. co·starred, co·star·ring, co·stars

 of the MTV MTV
 in full Music Television

U.S. cable television network, established in 1980 to present videos of musicians and singers performing new rock music. MTV won a wide following among rock-music fans worldwide and greatly affected the popular-music business.
 reality show Jackass and most recently Viva La Bam Viva La Bam was a reality television series that starred Bam Margera and his crew. The show was a spin-off from MTV's Jackass, in which Margera and most of the main cast had appeared. . My profile will be backed by research done through interviews with Raab, his family and closest friends. Considering the recent success of the new MTV reality shows, particularly Jackass, and the premiere of Viva La Bam, this article would be of interest to loyal viewers of Jackass as well as skate fans.

 is a mag with the following, based mostly around skaters, a large majority of Viva La Bam's audience. So I think an article profiling one of the show's stars would be of interest to your magazine. I would like to write a 1,000 to 1,500 word profile, including an interview, for Thrasher. Upon your request I could have this article ready in four weeks. I am the right person to write this article, because being that Chris is one of my closest cousins, I know him better than a lot of people and I could use this relationship to my advantage. Chris didn't grow up aspiring to be a Jackass, in fact he wanted to wear a suit and work alongside his dad. I want to tell Thrasher readers Chris' story and what turned him into the Jackass he is today.
