From left to right: Brandon Dicamillo, Jess Margera, Rake Yohn, Raab Himself (falling), Bam Margera, and Ryan Dunn make up the core of the CKY Crew.

The CKY Crew (CKY stands for Camp Kill Yourself) are a group of friends and relatives centered around Bam Margera, many of whom are from or located in and around West Chester, Pennsylvania.

Some members of the crew are skateboarders, others are involved either on-camera or behind-the scenes in Bam's various projects such as the CKY Videos, Jackass and Viva La Bam. While the better-known CKYers have their own pages elsewhere on the site, biographical details for many of the less well-known members can be found here.

[edit] Members

When Bam Margera needed help with the script for his movie, Haggard, he gave it to Chris and had him edit it. He has a variety of nicknames: Hoof, Hoofbite, Hook, Beltbite, The Spracker, Pantsbite, and The Knife (because he'll cut you off in mid-sentence). He was a member of the band "Streetgang" and now is a member of the band Venomous.
  • Dave Battaro appeared in some of Bam's very earliest skits in the mid-90's - see the documentary in the CKY box set for an example and the classic quote "You just got fucked in the ass by Dave Battaro". He also gets a name check in the "Chester County" piece in CKY4 and can be seen in Haggard as the guy who fingers and then licks out his wallet in the coffee shop, causing Ryan Dunn to fly into a rage.

  • Joseph Frantz (born in West Chester, Pennsylvania) is a producer and director and a member of the CKY Crew.

A skilled carpenter and construction worker, he has helped in a variety of stunts including hoisting Margera's uncle Don Vito's car up into a tree, and renovating the entire inside and outside of the Margera household into a skatepark. As a skatepark builder, Glomb has recently finished construction of Shield's Skate Park in Flemington, New Jersey.
