ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: First off, how hard was it to ride those CHP motorcycles?
There is one scene in the movie where I do what’s called a stoppie.
It’s kind of like a reverse wheelie.

I did that on that police bike without any rehearsal but consequently crashed twice.
We got it on the third time.
So I won’t be riding one of those in my off time any time soon.
That was my take on it.
Insane situations happen but it’s not happening in a satire world or a heightened world.
It’s a very real world.
Are they heroic guys?
I am a retired X Games rider who doesn’t know how to do anything but ride a motorcycle.
My wife’s dad’s a cop.
Maybe this will woo her back.
Two guys who don’t really necessarily care all that much about upholding any kind of CHP standard.
They’re investigating a string of armored car robberies.
So they are allowed to go anywhere.
Our highway work was on the 105 between the airport and downtown L.A. Did you work much with the real CHP?Yeah, we did.
I think it was a precarious decision for them to be involved because it is an R-rated comedy.
And then because of that we had access to CHP central, which is really crucial to me.
I really wanted to be able to shoot at that iconic station that the show had shot at.
Where does the R rating come from?
Language?There’s female nudity.
There’s more me nudity than probably any other nudity.
And then yeah, there’s a lot of adult material and sexual stuff and naughty language.
This was actually a step forward.
I’m at least blurred in parts here.
