Bam Margera, known for his role in the movie series “Jackass” and the popular MTV show of the same name, made a special appearance at Jamestown Skate Products recently.
During his visit, he took the opportunity to skate and connect with local skateboarders.
Pete Scheira, the owner of the indoor skate park at 209 Pine St., said that Magera was incredibly approachable and relaxed.
“He came by (Magera) and wanted to check out our indoor skate bowl – he skated and hung out. We fired up the grill and showed him a good time,” said Scheira. “The kids really liked him.”
Scheira mentioned that Magera’s visit caught him off guard, but he’s excited about the possibility of seeing the TV/movie star again soon.

“He just texted and asked if he could come by,” said Scheria. “I don’t know Bam personally, but we have a lot of the same friends – so I said, of course.”
Margera gained prominence in the early 2000s as one of the stars of the MTV reality stunt show Jackass and its subsequent films, including Jackass: The Movie, Jackass Number Two, Jackass 2.5, Jackass 3D, Jackass Backyard BBQ, and Jackassworld.com: 24 Hour Takeover. In addition to his work with Jackass, he created and starred in several spin-off shows, including Viva La Bam (2003-2006), Bam’s Unholy Union (2007), Bam’s World Domination (2010), and Bam’s Bad Ass Game Show (2014). He also co-wrote and directed the films Haggard (2003) and Minghags (2009).
“For the skateboarders in this town, it’s as if a celebrity they’ve only seen in movies or TV shows came to hang out with them. …super cool and approachable,” Scheira remarked. “After he left, he sent a text asking if he could return sometime, and I, of course, gladly agreed.”
