Viva La BAM fans

Bam Margera was born on September 28, 1979 in West Chester, Pennsylvania to Phil and April Margera. He has one brother, Jess Margera (drummer for Camp Kill Yourself). He was given the nickname by his grandfather when he was very young because of his wild nature. As a kid, he enjoyed producing movies with his buddies and would film the craziest home movies. This love of film making continues to today. His love for skateboarding began in 1988 when he decided to try something different. His big break came in 2000, when he teamed up with Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O and Christ Pontius in the extreme television show Jackass where they would do all types of crazy stunts. In 2002, the Jackass crew took their follies to the big screen in Jackass: The Movie. The movie was fairly successful and Bam and friends won the MTV Award for Best On-Screen Team. He took the money he made from the movie and produced his own movie in 2003 entitled Haggard: The Movie. In 2003, he was also given his own TV show, "Viva la Bam." Bam continues to evolve in film and stunts, but he also appears on the Tony Hawk Pro Skater video games (3 & 4) Miscellaneous: Hobbies he enjoys include: skateboarding (duh), acting and filming. His favorite thing to eat is an everything bagel with M, L & T.
