Bam Margera Trivias

Bam got his name from his grandfather. When he was younger he would run into walls and be crazy, and his grandfather would say "Bam, bam, bam, chill out! Bam!" The name stuck, and soon everyone was calling him Bam, even his teachers.

A fan of, friend of, and occasional video director for HIM's frontman, Ville Valo, Margera has licensed the band's logo, the heartagram (a pentagram with two points curved to incorporate a heart symbol), for personal use. Bam has even had himself tattooed with the heartagram.

Margera is currently writing, producing, and directing his new feature film, a sequel to Haggard, titled Kiss a Good Man's Ass. He announced another film he is working on called The Dream Seller. The Dream Seller is a nickname for long-time friend and fellow skater Brandon Novak.

Current episodes of Margera's show have shown him to own both a red 2003 Hummer H2 as well as a purple Lamborghini Gallardo. A recent episode however showed the destruction of the H2 by Don Vito as revenge for constant torment. The Lamborghini has been modified with help from friend Billy Idol to include a sunroof (a rough rectangle crudely cut with a jigsaw). Bam bragged that his was the only vehicle of its kind with a sunroof. Since the end of filming on Viva La Bam, Bam has replaced the red H2 with a blue H3.

Bam's relationship with longtime girlfriend and fiancée Jennifer Rivell recently ended. Rivell, during an interview with local Philadelphia radio station Q102, stated that Bam had sex with Jessica Simpson. This same claim was made by Phil Margera. Jenn claims Bam cheated on her with 40-50 girls, based on readings of Bam's email and text messages. Some people are of the opinion that the whole story is nothing more than a PR stunt. Currently, Bam is dating Missy Rothstein from the West Chester area who has also appeared as Beth in the movie Haggard.
