CKY (video series)
Encyclopedia
The CKY video series is a series of videos produced by Bam Margera
and Brandon DiCamillo
and other residents of West Chester, Pennsylvania
. Four videos have been released to date, Landspeed presents: CKY (later called CKY), CKY2K, CKY 3, and CKY4: The Latest & Greatest. There is also a CKY "documentary" DVD, which is a supplemental item in the hard-to-find CKY "Box Set," as well as two "CKY Trilogy" sets, both of which are compilation DVDs featuring scenes from the previous CKY DVDs. The videos were named after Bam Margera's brother Jess Margera
and his band CKY
(with Deron Miller
and Chad Ginsburg). "CKY" stands for "Camp Kill Yourself".
The videos feature Bam Margera, Brandon DiCamillo, their friends and Bam's relatives in various stunts and pranks, interspersed with skating footage of Bam and other pros. A trademark of the skating footage was to show unsuccessful trick attempts immediately followed by the same skater pulling the trick off. CKY started when Bam and his friends were in the same Graphics Arts class at East High School in West Chester, Pennsylvania
. Instead of attending class, they would go out in a field and film skits. Eventually, they had so much footage of themselves, they decided to compile it into a video.
include Bam's brother Jess Margera
, Ryan Dunn
, Chris Raab
(later called Raab Himself) and Rake Yohn
(real name Edward Webb). Jess's involvement with the video side of CKY became increasingly limited as CKY
the band became popular, and touring and recording commitments took up most of his time.
The first video stars the crew as well as The Gill (Ryan Gee), Mike Maldonado, Chris Aspite aka Hoofbite, and Kerry Getz
. Bam's father, Phil Margera
, was also featured (uncredited) in the first video. Bam's ex-girlfriend Jenn Rivell and David Decurtis aka Naked Dave starred in the second video, which also features Bam's mother April Margera
(uncredited). Chris Raab was called Raab Himself in the third video, which also featured CKY band members Deron Miller
and Chad Ginsburg as well as Tony Hawk
and Brandon Novak
. Bam's uncle Vincent Margera
aka "Don Vito" starred in the fourth video. Jenn Rivell's daughter is also seen in some clips, and so is Bam and Jess's aunt 'Boof'.
The CKY videos brought Bam and his friends to the attention of Jeff Tremaine
who drafted them into the cast of Jackass which aired for three seasons on MTV
. Most Jackass skits featuring the CKY Crew were lifted from previously released CKY material or were recorded by the crew in West Chester, while the Los Angeles based faction of the Jackass team featuring Johnny Knoxville
, Steve-O
, Chris Pontius
and others recorded in California
. A subsequent MTV spin-off
entitled Viva La Bam
followed Bam Margera
and his crew as they tortured Bam's family and generally wreaked havoc in West Chester and around the world.

brother's
band

; as well as many other artists, including an opening scene with Rammstein
, Iceland
scenes with Björk
and Orbital
, and a skateboarding scene with Aphex Twin
.
Near the end of the video, there is a scene in which a minor exposes his genitalia in front of a public restaurant. The video explained that "this is what happens when you tell Bam you'll do anything to be in CKY." In 2003, the parents of the minor sued. During the hearing, a County Court Judge ruled that images of the plaintiff "must be deleted from future versions" of the video. Subsequently, CKY2K was discontinued due (in part) to copyright issues. The first major issue was from Björk
.
. The music features "Hyper-Ballad
" by Björk
where Bam and the crew hang out on the top of a mountain with gorgeous views from the top.
As they stayed in a hotel somewhere in Iceland (the hotel at the airport), Brandon Dicamillo smeared feces on Ryan Dunn while he was sleeping on the bed. Smeared with feces, Ryan fought back by urinating on Brandon sleeping on the floor. Later, they argued in the car about the incident.

The next day, Rake Yohn finished off the already damaged car by setting fire to the radio, which completely burned the entire car. The music features an early version of Sporadic movement by CKY
