yeah, but are they famous because of skating, or did they use skating to get them famous in other area's. Nobody aside from loyal skater fans would know who tony hawk is if not for the success of his video games. No one would know who bam margera is if not for jackass, or CKY. I diddnt think bam was even that good of a skater, i thought he just hung out with the pro's. I have a friend who is into that stuff and he says bam not very good.
