Born on July 17, 1975 in California, Carey Jason-Phillip Hart is a famous motorcycle rider and, in fact, one of the world's best known, with a trading card game and an action figure to his name. He grew up in Las Vegas. A Las Vegas-themed tattoo on one of his arms is a testament to his pride in this city where he grew up in. Turning pro at 17 in 1992, he was the first rider to ever do a back-flip on his motorcycle during the Gravity Games. To date, he has broken 63 bones in his body, in addition to an injury which he admitted he didn't quite expect to completely recover from.
Perhaps more notable, though, is Hart's short-lived marriage with singer Alicia Moore, more popularly known as Pink in 2006. The two have confirmed their separation on February of 2008.
In 2005, Hart was cast in VH1 reality show
The Surreal Life season 5. The show features celebrities who are said to be past their primes and puts them in a Hollywood Hills mansion for two weeks. In this season's circus/carnival theme, Hart was introduced, quite accurately, as “the Death-Defying Daredevil.” On the show, it was his alcoholism that figured prominently following his accident.
On one episode where they were made to build a new backyard for a Battered Women's Shelter, he had a clash with The Apprentice alumna
Omarosa Manigault . Omarosa was supposed to the project's foreman, yet when things got intense and the task still largely undone, Hart offered to take over. Omarosa accused him of being bossy but later on decided to let Hart do the job. There was an episode inspired by Hart's attendance in the show, where the cast traveled to Gorman, California, to learn how to ride dirt bikes. On the same episode, Hart, along with baseball legend
Jose Canseco , were dressed up in sexy lingerie by British model Caprice.
