Exciting News for Skateboarding Fans!

With Activision set to release *Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4* on July 11, 2025, speculation initially arose suggesting that original skater Bam Margera might be left out of this highly-anticipated remake. However, it seems that legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk is stepping in to ensure Margera's return.

Bam Margera's Legacy

Bam Margera, renowned for his outrageous stunts on *Jackass* and his own show *Viva la Bam*, has long been a beloved character in the skating community. According to reports from *The Nine Club* skating podcast, Hawk took matters into his own hands after learning that Margera was not included in the final version of the game.

Co-host Roger Bagley revealed that Hawk personally reached out to Activision, insisting that Margera should be part of the game at all costs.

Tony Hawk's Intervention

Bagley recounted, 'The game was already done. Tony called up Activision and said, ‘Hey, we’re putting Bam in the thing,’ and Activision replied, ‘Hey, we can’t.’ But Tony insisted, ‘No, you’re gonna do it!’ He made them fly Bam back out to get body-scanned and include him.'

Potential Impact on Fans

This last-minute decision has not yet been officially confirmed by Activision or Hawk himself, but if true, this move would surely delight fans of the series and longtime followers of Margera’s career. His larger-than-life persona and unique skating style were significant during the original *Pro Skater* games, contributing to their cult status.

Challenges in Margera's Journey

However, it is worth noting that Margera's journey has not been without its challenges. The passing of his dear friend and fellow *Jackass* star Ryan Dunn in 2011 deeply impacted Margera, leading to struggles in his personal life. His ongoing journey of recovery and healing has garnered compassion from fans and followers alike.

Eager Anticipation for Release

As the release date approaches, fans are eagerly awaiting further updates on the confirmed roster, hoping to see Bam Margera back in action on their screens. The anticipation surrounding *Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4* is palpable, and with this latest news, it looks like this remake could pack even more nostalgia and excitement!
