“Most successful” meaning he made money. Zero medals in the Olympics, can’t find any sort of record for placement in any kind of competition.
He had sponsorships because Jackass and CKY were popular, not because he was a good skater. He appeared in Tony Hawk games because he got popular, not because he was a good skater.
By your metrics, Tim Pool is one of the best skaters of all time, and I’ve never even seen him skate, he just talks about it and makes money.
Rodney Mullen and Tony Hawk were good skaters. Bam Margera is shit tier compared to good skaters.
Also, Bam was contacted to fill the roster. Johnny Knoxville is listed as a creator of Jackass, along with Spike Jonze and Jeff Tremaine. Bam Margera is not.
