The film is a collection of stunts and pranks interspersed with skateboarding tricks and footage set to music by CKY. Other than his brother Jess suffering a broken arm, none of the four were seriously injured.įollowing years of recording and editing, Margera independently released the first CKY film, then titled CKY: Landspeed, in 1999. In later interviews, Margera revealed that Raab had "forced him" to wear a seatbelt as the car was going nearly 100mph, and that this probably saved his life. On September 21, 1995, Margera, his brother Jess, Dunn and Raab were nearly killed in a car accident near their home town. In 1994, Margera dropped out of school after childhood friend Chris Raab was expelled, but was homeschooled by his mother and received his GED. CKY stands for "Camp Kill Yourself", a name shared with his brother Jess Margera's band, CKY, which was named as a tribute to the film Sleepaway Camp. They began shooting videos of Margera and his friends skateboarding and doing stunts, which eventually turned into the CKY video series.
Margera got his first video camera from his father in 1993 after he enrolled in a digital media class with childhood friend Chris Raab, where they also met future collaborators Art Webb, Brandon DiCamillo, and Ryan Dunn. Before their television fame, Margeras parents April and Phil worked as a hair dresser and accountant respectively. His grandfather nicknamed him "Bam Bam" at the age of three after noticing his habit of purposely running into walls over time, that nickname was shortened to "Bam" by his schoolmates. He is the younger brother of rock musician Jess Margera and nephew of television personality Vincent "Don Vito" Margera. Margera was born on September 28, 1979, the son of April and Phil Margera. In 2020, he was fired from the production of Jackass Forever due to his drug and alcohol issues, which lead to him posting several video messages on social media verbally attacking his former Jackass co-stars. Following the death of childhood friend Ryan Dunn and the end of his television projects in 2011–12, Margera's drinking and drug use intensified, but between 20, he remained sober for nearly two years. He first entered rehab in 2009, but left after four days and has since had at least seven subseqeuent attempts at rehab without completing the program. Since the mid-2000s, Margera has struggled with alcoholism and subsequent legal troubles. He also created the Jackass spin-off shows Viva La Bam, Bam's Unholy Union, Bam's World Domination, and Bam's Bad Ass Game Show, and co-wrote and directed the films Haggard and Minghags. He rose to prominence in the early 2000s as one of the stars of the MTV reality stunt show Jackass and subsequent sequels.
