CKY4 has also been released. CKY stands for “Camp Kill Yourself”, which is a name shared with his brother Jess Margera’s band, CKY.

The early videos feature many of Margera’s friends, who include Ryan Dunn, Brandon DiCamillo, Rake Yohn, Chris Raab, Brandon Novak, and others who form a loose collective known as the CKY Crew. The history and also the relationship between the video and band projects are heavily interlinked.

Following the CKY success, Jeff Tremaine a former Big Brother editor noticed Bam’s videos and drafted him into the team which would eventually become MTV’s Jackass. Bam and Ryan Dunn became mainstays of the cast while the other CKY crew members played supporting roles to various degrees.

Bam went on to appear in Jackass: The Movie, Jackass Number Two, Jackass 3D, and Jackass 3.5. Various skits in the first Jackass movie were CKY style pieces filmed in and around West Chester, but similar scenes in the second movie were removed after the arrest of Vincent Margera Bam’s uncle, on suspicion of him inappropriately touching two minors.

After Jackass, Bam was given his own MTV series titled Viva La Bam. The show ran for five seasons between 2003–2005. It followed Margera and his crew as they performed various stunts and missions.

The show follows Margera, Melissa, and their friends in the lead-up to the wedding.

The film deals primarily with Bam’s life after the death of his close friend and co-star, Ryan Dunn, who died in a car crash in 2011.

According to Bam, the film has been three years in the making and will give viewers a glimpse into his childhood, career, and rise to fame, while focusing mainly on his recovery from the death of Dunn.
