The Nitro gang isn't just gutsy about sports -- they're also completely fearless when it comes to fashion. Over the years, we've seen them in anything, everything, and, occasionally, next-to-nothing, so we thought we'd show our respect by putting together the first annual Nitro Circus "What Not To Wear" guide.

Check out a few of our favorite style stars right here (PS, did Andy shave his legs?!), then flip through the rest of the virtual fashion show to find out who's hot, who's not and who's made two separate -- but equally persuasive -- attempts at showin' us how sexy a lime green Lycra suit can be.

We've never actually gotten close enough to Rob Dyrdek to smell him, but if his signature scent is anywhere near as good as his marketing campaign, we can't wait to get a whiff. Turns out, the Charity Challenge contest's still going on (now through Nov. 2nd), so we're asking you to release your inner purple sharks and get your hands on a Dyrdek-designed can o' TAG! Win or lose, ten percent of all proceeds go towards Rob's charity (Safe Spot Skate Spot), so get your body spray on and help him beat Carmelo Anthony and Luda -- and give back to the kiddies!

Tonight, Rob Dyrdek opened the gates to his Fantasy Factory and invited 30 Twitter winners inside for a fun-filled afternoon of freebies, foam pits -- and, in one lucky gentleman's case -- a pie-throwing bonanza. And as we watched the laughing children circle around the purple shark, it reminded us of the scene in Willy Wonka where the Golden Ticket winners (like humble Charlie, obnoxious Veruca and future blueberry Violet), get to see insides of the chocolate factory for the very first time.

Natch, that led to a semi-related discussion of who would play Augustus Gloop in a Fantasy Factory remake (our money's on Jeremy), and, eventually, caused us to wonder which imaginative dreamworld we'd rather visit, assuming we had the choice.

Let's weigh the merits of both, shall we? On Wonka's side, we've got all the candy you can eat, lush, chocolate rivers and those creeptastic little orange men. On Dyrdek's, we've got Tina the Testie, the zip line, and the best skateboarding bulldogs the world's ever known. So where would you rather spend an afternoon? Take the poll and let us know!

With tonight's Fantasy Factory finale just a few hours away, we've been taking some quiet time to reflect on all the laughs, thrills and 'say what?'s from Season 2. Like, rememba when Chanel almost beat Steve Berra in a girl vs. boy rap battle? The guys were so impressed! And it wasn't just a fluke -- Chanel's got real skillz. In fact, our cameras caught her just a few weeks ago freestylin' about what it's like to always work the dude shift. Check it:

Speaking of Chanel's job at the Factory ... take a look at this video of Rob grading her performance as a receptionist. The good news? She's got perfect attendance.

Not exactly a glowing review, but it sounds like Chanel's set for life if she and Ryan Sheckler are planning on makin' some babies. So, are they really? After the jump, hear Chanel clear up any recent rumors about sk8r boi crushes and her lack of office productivity.

When Travis Pastrana hopped on his bike and jumped 75 feet off a skyscraper, we had to wonder about his sanity. As it turns out, we weren't the only ones. Apparently, there's a huge difference between proposing a Nitro Circus stunt -- and seeing how small the margin of error (and how high the distance from the ground) really is. Hear the Nitro frontman explain what was going through his mind moments before his roof-jump, plus tune in this Thursday at 10pm for more recaps, bonus scenes and behind-the-scenes cast interviews from Season Two.

Good news, boys. You've spent your whole entire lives waiting for a husky-voiced blond to fulfill your every fantasy -- and this Thursday, you're about to get your wish! The only downside? Your fair-haired fairy godmother's none other than sexy manchild Rob Dyrdek. Check out what Rob's got in store for the Fantasy Factory season finale (hint: it involves Ludacris, Carmelo Anthony and lots of man musk) and get psyched for the main event with Luda's first smash hit of the new millennium.

While we were watching Street Bike Tommy suck down doughnuts and Travis Pastrana suck at life, Jolene Van Vugt was doing what she does best: capturing it all on camera.

This week, she managed to snap Travis' pre-jump jitters, Erik Rhoner's about-to-fail face, and some action shots so slick they might actually give you motion sickness. So pop a Dramamine and check out these extreme Kodak moments. It's the closest most of you will ever get to being flashed.

For every "Holy s**t!" Nitro achievement, there's at least four or five spectacular fails. And tonight, we saw a couple of wipeouts that looked about as uncomfortable as Andy Bell climbing onto a bed of nails, wearin' nothing but a Speedo. So who had the night's biggest, bone-crushingest screw-up? Take the poll and tell us who had gnarliest finale flop.

We saw so many great fights this season we're having trouble picking out a favorite. So we thought we'd narrow it down to our top and let you guys decide which fighter had the best beatdown of the season. Think it was Andrei "Shut Em' Out" Arlovski? Eddie "Take The Money And Run" Alvarez? Or how about Tony "DQ" Bonnello or Jake "I Want Mayhem" Shields? Take a look at our six favorite fighters and tell us whose fight packed the most punch.

Although she came out strong tonight, Chanel ultimately lost the rap battle to Steve "The Show-Off"  Berra, who took the title in a tiebreaker after their neck and neck freestyles led to a winner-takes-all game of Beirut. But since we're not sure what beer pong has to do with the ability to rhyme under pressure, we thought we'd give you guys a chance to settle this high stakes score once and for all.

Think Chanel had the sickest rhymes tonight? Or did Steve surprise you with his freakishly tight freestyle? Watch the rap battle one more time then take the poll and tell us who's the hottest MC.
