‘Jackass’ Star Bam Margera Surprises Fans with Spontaneous Visit in the Capital Region

Whether a major motion picture is being filmed, the latest HBO series is shooting in Troy, Schenectady and Albany or they are just passing through, the Capital Region is a hot spot for celebrity sightings.

Earlier this week reports of skateboarder, and start of MTV's 'Jackass', Bam Margera popping up around the Capital Region. On Wednesday Margera stopped by a video game store in Colonie. Another report had him in New Lebanon, NY near the Massachusetts line.

According to a post shared on Facebook, Bam Margera visited Mr. Dealz Video Gaming and More, 1839 Central Avenue in Colonie, on Wednesday June 25th and signed a copy of 'Tony Hawk's Underground' video game.

The guys at Godfroy's Service Center in New Lebanon, NY grabbed the picture below after Margera pulled in to have the oil in his vehicle checked.

It appears this week's road trip for Bam started in Pittsfield. Massachusetts and is ending up in Utica, NY. Makes sense that he would be traveling through the Capital Region.
