Bam Margera and Tony Hawk are teaming up once again.

The two professional skaters reunited on Wednesday, March 5, sharing photos and videos of their skate session on Instagram.

Margera, 45, and Hawk, 56, let loose on the vert ramp, recreating a moment from 2002's Jackass: The Movie, in which the two did the same moves while dressed in bubble-wrap padded, oversized outfits in a skit called, "Sweaty Fat F----."

In a video shared by Margera in partnership with The Berrics, the private indoor Los Angeles skatepark where the two met up, the caption reads, "When we saw @tonyhawk & @bam__margera 👀skating the vert ramp together, we knew it looked familiar! 🤔."

Margera also shared more photos and videos from the day in a separate post, writing, "Thanks to @tonyhawk for the doubles sesh with @alphonzorawls , @andymac720 aka Macdonald and @staabpirate1."

Hawk is also teaming up with another Jackass alumnus: Hawk and Steve-O will serve as executive producers on Sk8 or Die: The Lee Ralph Story. While the first series will follow the New Zealand skater who rose to stardom before vanishing in the 1980s, the hope is to build out an anthology of stories from street skating history, per The Hollywood Reporter.

Looking back on Jackass during a June 2024 appearance on the Club Random podcast, Hawk told Bill Maher that the stunt show began as "things that were filler for skate videos."

"There would be skate videos where you’d have weird segues in between the skating segments, which were just Jackass-type stunts," Hawk recalled. "And that’s how they started. It really is how they started."

Of the crew, which included Margera, Steve-O, Johnny Knoxville, Chris Pontius, Dave England, Wee Man and more, Hawk noted, "They were creative in this Buster Keaton sort of way."

"They were willing to destroy themselves for the sake of comedy. It was so funny."
