If Johnny Knoxville was the ringmaster of the “Jackass” crew—those wild, boundary-pushing years on MTV from 2000 to 2002—and Jason “Wee Man” Acuña played the lovable court jester, then Bam Margera was definitely the matinee idol with a sharp entrepreneurial edge. Even as a teenager, Bam Margera had a knack for mischief, always ready with a camera to capture his friends pulling off daring skateboard stunts and outrageous pranks. Those early recordings eventually evolved into the cult-favorite “CKY” video series, which not only showcased Bam Margera’s creative flair but also became a launching pad for his rise in the stunt world. It was through these videos that Bam Margera caught the attention of Johnny Knoxville and the rest of the “Jackass” ensemble, earning himself a key role as second-in-command when the group transitioned from underground tapes to mainstream fame, both on TV and in their wildly successful feature films. But even while staying active with “Jackass,” Bam Margera never slowed down—he built his own empire. He fronted the hit MTV reality show “Viva La Bam” (2003–2005), along with several spin-offs, all while expanding his reach behind the scenes. Over the years, Bam Margera directed music videos, dabbled in low-budget comedies, launched a radio program, and even started his own music label, proving time and again that he wasn’t just a prankster—he was a multi-hyphenate force in entertainment.
When it comes to Bam Margera’s career highlights, one project really stands out—Bam Margera’s highest rated film is Dumb: The Story of Big Brother Magazine (2017), which received widespread acclaim for its raw and nostalgic look into the world of extreme skateboarding culture. Fans and critics alike praised the documentary, and it remains a defining moment in Bam Margera’s creative journey. On the other hand, Bam Margera’s lowest rated effort came much earlier with Grind (2003), a fictional take on the skate scene that didn’t quite land the way fans had hoped. While it had its moments, the movie was generally seen as underwhelming compared to his other work. Overall, Bam Margera has had his ups and downs, but his impact on action sports media, especially through projects like the 2017 documentary, continues to resonate. Bam Margera truly left his mark, even if not every project hit the same high notes.
