Bam Margera

According to Ryan Gee's message board, he is currently engaged to Missy Rothstein. However, sales started to decline in the early 1970's with the introduction of 16mm film, and the new cheap 'Cawhorn Prot' cameras that were, at the time, imported from Germany. The video clip was immediately (and continues to be) widely circulated on the Internet. Herswashbucklers, the famous cine supplies shop in London rose to stardom from it's sales for this event. The first 5,000 DVD copies of CKY4 contained a hidden Easter Egg - a two-minute video clip of Bam and his then-girlfriend, Jenn Rivell, having sex. Profits soared to an all time high with purchases of film for the moon landings in 1969. Since the end of filming on Viva La Bam, Bam has replaced the red H2 with a blue H2. 50ft reels were purchased for recording important events such as weddings and funerals.

Bam bragged that his was the only vehicle of its kind with a sunroof. Cine film started out expensive, but as it became cheaper the format started the craze of home recording. The Lamborghini has been modified with help from friend Billy Idol to include a sunroof (a rough rectangle crudely cut with a jigsaw). Cine started the expanding revolution of 'play at home' movies, with the most famous of the early films being the classic 'Eat The Pie' by the legendary Harry Darwin. A recent episode however showed the destruction of the H2 by Don Vito as revenge for constant torment. Cine film literally means 'moving' film; deriving from the Greek 'kinema' for motion; it also has roots in the Anglo-French word Cinematograph, meaning moving picture. Current episodes of Margera's show have shown him to own both a red 2003 Hummer H2 as well as a purple Lamborghini Gallardo and a Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG with a heartagram on the front instead of the mercedes-benz logo. It is not generally used to refer to video formats or professional formats.

The Dream Seller is a nickname for long-time friend and fellow skater Brandon Novak. Ciné (sometimes Cine) is usually used to refer to one or more of the home movie formats including 8 mm, 9.5mm, 16mm film, and Super 8. He announced another film he is working on called The Dream Seller. Margera is currently writing, producing, and directing his new feature film, a sequel to Haggard, titled Kiss a Good Man's Ass. Bam has even had himself tattooed with the heartagram.

A fan of, friend of, and occasional video director for HIM's frontman, Ville Valo, Margera has licensed the band's logo, the heartagram (a pentagram with two points curved to incorporate a heart symbol), for personal use. A 2006 sequel entitled Return to Sleepaway Camp will feature the CKY band members in cameo roles as camp counselors. "CKY" stands for "Camp Kill Yourself", a reference to the movie Sleepaway Camp (1983), a favourite of CKY band frontman Deron Miller. When he was younger he would run into walls and be crazy, and his grandfather would say "Bam, bam, bam, chill out! Bam!" The name stuck, and soon everyone was calling him Bam, even his teachers.

Bam got his name from his grandfather. In fact, he is featured as a main character in Tony Hawk's Underground (1 and 2). He has also been animated as a character into a number of pro-skateboarder Tony Hawk's video games. In the DVD comentary for the seasons 4&5 of Viva La Bam, Margera has said that Element Skateboards pays him two million dollars a year, just for wearing their clothing.

(The real LAPD SWAT team helped with this prank). Ashton Kutcher trapped Margera and his friend inside of a convenience store while staging a terrorist attack. Margera also appeared on Punk'd, in 2005. Margera also has a small speaking part in the skateboarding movie "Grind".

Margera directed and co-wrote (with Brandon DiCamillo and Chris Aspite) a low-budget independent film called Haggard, starring himself and his friends, released in 2003. He became the 13th known skater to land it, and was the first street skater to successfully land it. As a professional skater in the summer of 2005, Margera successfully landed The Loop in Phoenix, Arizona. Before becoming a professional skateboarder, he could be found frequenting the local skate spots, performing at area fairgrounds, and loitering at Fairman's skate shop.

Margera was born and raised in West Chester, Pennsylvania, a western suburb of Philadelphia. Margera's television antics push the generally accepted boundaries of good taste by seeking to shock and offend, thereby creating a large contingent of detractors who charge that he profits from the humiliation and misfortune of others. His videos and television shows often include his long-suffering parents, Phil and April, his uncle Vincent Margera ("Don Vito"), and ex-fiancée Jenn Rivell (Margera broke off his engagement to Rivell in early 2005). Margera's crew includes Ryan Dunn, Brandon DiCamillo, Rake Yohn, Raab Himself, and Brandon Novak.

Brandon Cole "Bam" Margera made his own skate videos known as the CKY quadrilogy, which is also the name of his brother Jess's heavy metal band (see CKY band). His weekly Sirius Radio show is called Radio Bam. He cites Raab Himself as his only reason for attending high school, and dropped out after Raab got expelled. He grew up in West Chester, Pennsylvania and went to East High School.

He is also the star of Viva La Bam, and member of the Jackass crew, two shows broadcast by MTV. Brandon Cole "Bam" Margera (born September 28, 1979) is a professional skateboarder, creator of the "CKY" skate / prank / stunt videos, and radio personality. CKY Landspeed - 1999. CKY2K - 2000.
