In true rockstar fashion, the 2nd Annual Bam Margera CKY Preview Party was
thrown in Philadelphia during this year's X Games. Hosted by Bam himself at
the legendary Trocadero Theater, this year's bash was the place to be after
the Skateboarding Vert Doubles.

| Skeletor and Beastman unveil the CKY4. |
First up, Minnesota's own MANPLANET shook the stage with "space suit
authority" as 1300 eager fans crammed into the old burlesque hall. Bam's
ridiculously vulgar humor followed as clips from CKY4 "Latest and Greatest"
were unleashed. Spots included the ever-popular "shopping cart" scenes as
well as the "supermarket brawl". New shockers were Brandon DiCamillo's
dueling rap song between Skeletor and Beast Man (HE-Man's trusty sidekick.)
This medley is probably the closest thing to genius the dynamic duo has ever
come up with. The stage props and costumes are above and beyond anything
they've ever done.

| Bam and Ryan Dunn place a call to Mr. Jason Ellis. |
The biggest surprise of the evening was a trailer to Bam's future movie
release, "Haggard". This was the first time it had ever been shown to the
public and the cheers from the crowd proved that they can't wait for the full
length film to be released. The film features Ryan Dunn as the main
character with Bam, Brandon DiCamillo and the entire CKY crew surrounding
him. This is the first project to come from Bam with an actual plot and
story line. Look for the film in theaters near you in late October.

| CKY throws it down for the crowd. |
Now CKY followed the video with an amazing set that had the crowd chanting
their name and waiting for more. Guitarist Chad Ginsburg, worked the fans
with more energy than ever before and the audience couldn't get enough. Look
for these guys to release a new record around the same time that the MTV
Jackass movie comes out.

| Even Tony Hawk makes a cameo in Haggard. |
The final act for the evening was a band that sells out the Trocadero on
their own, Clutch. These heavy hitters barrel through riff rock better than
anyone. Classic hits were mixed with singles from their last album, Pure
Rock Fury. Clutch was the icing on the cake for another year of glam rock
fury!
Bam would like to thank the returning sponsors on the event who made it all
possible. They include SoBe, Adio, Element, Electric, Sk8ramp.com, Fairman's
and of course EXPN.
