The CKY video series is a series of skate videos produced by West Chester, Pennsylvania residents and Jackass stars Bam Margera and Brandon DiCamillo. Four videos have been released to date, Landspeed: CKY, CKY2K, CKY 3, and CKY4: The Latest & Greatest. There is also a CKY "documentary" DVD, which is a supplemental item in the hard-to-find CKY "Box Set," as well as two "CKY Trilogy" sets, both of which are compilation DVDs featuring scenes from the previous CKY DVDs. As with CKY, the band of the same name, "CKY" stands for "Camp Kill Yourself".
The videos feature Bam Margera, Brandon DiCamillo, their friends and Bam's relatives in various stunts and pranks, interspersed with skating footage of Bam and other pros. A trademark of the skating footage was to show unsuccessful trick attempts immediately followed by the same skater pulling the trick off. CKY started when Bam and his friends were in the same Graphics Arts class at East High School in West Chester, Pennsylvania. Instead of attending class, they would go out in a field and film skits. Eventually, they had so much footage of themselves, they decided to collaborate it into a video.
Landspeed was a division of Tum Yeto Inc. from 1998 - 2000. The full company name was Landspeed Wheels or Landspeed Research Wheels. They made skateboard wheels and clothing. Landspeed produced CKY, but when Bam found out that the man behind Tum Yeto, Tod Swank, was ripping him off with it, he left Toy Machine and took the CKY video with him, hence removing the Landspeed title and other references. Landspeed Wheels later went into liquidation being classed as a complete failure.
