Margera began shooting videos of himself and his friends skateboarding and doing stunts, which eventually turned into the "CKY" video series. He independently released "CKY". "CKY2K", "CKY3" and "CKY4" have also been released. CKY stands for "Camp Kill Yourself", a name shared with his brother Jess Margera's band, CKY, which was named as a tribute to the film "Sleepaway Camp". These early videos feature many of Margera's friends, including Ryan Dunn, Brandon DiCamillo, Rake Yohn, Chris Raab, and Brandon Novak, who form a loose collective known as the CKY Crew. The video and band projects are heavily interlinked.
