“Bam” is Brandon Cole. Margera is an American reality TV and movie star, a pro skateboarder, a radio host, and a well-known member of MTV. He was born in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and grew up there. When he was a little boy, he hit his head against walls, which gave him the nickname “Bam.”
When he became successful in his career, he changed his legal name to “Bam.” Margera started making amateur videos with his friends when he was still in high school. They did tricks on skateboards and went on exciting missions. Later, he made a series of these videos on his own.
He called it the “CKY” series. Because of how well these videos did on their own, MTV asked Margera to be on their show “Jackass.” Margera became more and more popular among young people, which led to the making of three “Jackass” movies. He made many other reality movies like “Bam’s Unholy Union,” “Haggard,” and so on.
He also had his own MTV show called “Viva La Bam.” He makes independent reality films and owns a bar called “The Note.” He wrote the book “Serious as Dog Dirt” with his writings, pictures, and stories about his life. He is on the “Team Element,” a professional skateboarding team.
Bam Margera Early Life

His grandfather gave him the nickname “Bam Bam” after he saw that Bam Margera liked to run into walls on purpose when he was only three years old.
Over time, his classmates shortened his name to “Bam.” He went to high school with his friend Chris Raab at West Chester East.

Film and Television Career
What started as Margera taking videos of himself and his friend skateboarding and doing stunts turned into the CKY video series he put out on his own. People who were in these early videos got together to form a loose group called the CKY Crew. The CKY Crew consisted of Ryan Dunn, Brandon DiCamillo, Rake Yohn, Chris Raab, and Brandon Novak.
Jeff Tremaine, who runs the skateboarding magazine Big Brother, saw some of Margera’s CKY videos and liked them. Tremaine put Margera on the team that would become the main focus of MTV’s Jackass reality show. Other CKY crew members played various supporting roles on the show.
Margera was a vital member of the cast of Jackass for its entire run, from October 2000 to February 2002. He also appeared in other Jackass projects after the show ended. These include the movies Jackass: The Movie (2002), Jackass Number Two (2006), Jackass 3D (2010), and Jackass 3.5 (2010).
He used the success of the Jackass movies to make other things happen, most notably his two TV shows. From 2003 to 2005, his first show, Viva La Bam, ran for five seasons on MTV. It was primarily filmed in his hometown of West Chester and about him and his crew doing stunts and missions. The show was filmed in New Orleans, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles.
Margera even did stunts in Brazil, Finland, Mexico, and the Netherlands, where the show was filmed. MTV also made the show Bam’s Unholy Union after Viva La Bam (2007). The main idea of the show was to follow Margera, his then-fiancée Melissa Rothstein, and their different friends in the time leading up to their wedding.
In the 2003 skateboarding movie Grind, Margera plays himself. He also had a “prominent, non-sex role” in Gina Lynn’s 2008 pornographic film The Fantasstic Whores 4 with fellow CKY Crew member Brandon Novak.
Margera was in a one-time half-hour Spike special called “Bam’s World Domination” in 2010, and he and his mother, April Margera, were on the VH1 reality show “Family Therapy with Dr Jenn” in March 2016 to talk about his self-destructive behaviour.
Other Projects and Pursuits
In addition to his work on the Jackass series and other TV shows, Bam Margera has also written, produced, and acted in several independent films. The first movie, Haggard (2003), was based on actual events in the life of his friend Ryan Dunn. Dunn played the main character, and Margera played “Valo.”
In December 2008, his second independent movie, Minghags, which used to be called “Kiss a Good Man’s Ass,” went straight to DVD. In December of that year, Margera put out the Christmas movie Bam. Where the #$&% Is Santa? is a show put on by Margera.
Margera has also tried his hand at music. In 2005, he started his record label called Filthy Note Records. He has made videos for Clutch, Turbonegro, Viking Skull, and CKY, his brother’s band. He was also in the novelty band Gnarkill and the band Fuckface Unstoppable, where he played the keyboard.
His radio show on Sirius Radio Station, which ran from November 2004 to February 2013, was called “Radio Bam.” Serious as Dog Dirt (2009), a book of his private writings and pictures, came out in 2009. He also did a character’s voice in the video game Scarface: The World is Yours (2006). He is also a cartoon character in the Tony Hawk video game series.
