I'm with this comment I'm 50 this year... and I've been in it to win it since before "HEMAN, BEASTMAN!" and I still love that video! ua-cam.com/video/JsgGcPN0sZk/v-deo.html
@@jegowysokoscjankowalski That’s nonsense. Ryan was a part of an intervention for Bam before Ryan died. Bam was already out of control… Between his parents not raising him correctly (being _WAAAYYY TOO LAX,_ no discipline, and even allowing Bam to physically beat on his dad), and money being thrown at him from a very young age along with fame, he didn’t have the foundation to keep himself grounded at all. Dico was the smartest (and funniest!) one, getting out before money and fame would destroy him too.
@@jegowysokoscjankowalski When you face tragedy you can take several different paths. He chose substance abuse. His friend passing away isn't an excuse. Everyone deals with tragedy, but not everyone turns into an absolute mess of a human.
Bam has no idea how much he impacted so many lives. I am sitting here watching this, flashing back to 2004 and I have the biggest smile on my face. Non stop rooting for him to just make the complete turn around.
@@Zombytes For sure, I think he's just saying that because Bam has still been acting like he's 20. The whole video seemed more like a therapy session... Like, this is where you did this and this where you did that, remember? (type of vibe).
seeing bam sober and (somewhat) happy and laughing with novak makes me feel all kinds of things. these two were my childhood and they still mean the world to me. novak is so so inspirational in his sobriety journey, one of the main reasons i managed to overcome my own addiction. truly praying and hoping that bam also sees how loved he is and how good life can be.
He seems genuinely well this time. I've been hanging out at Camp Kill Yourself since inception. I even used to listen to Bam and crew on Sirius XM. (make a new email account get another month free back then 😂). I am amazed that Novak is the one bringing Bam out of the darkness this time. He waited until Bam wasn't manic anymore. Happy for them both. PS castle Bam seems way better now that you don't have to worry about dying for the likes of Tremaine and MTV Paramount they all suck. Companies like that create public villains if their figureheads don't comply. Ask Dave Chappelle. Painted him into a psycho a couple days after he asked for a better cut.
Bro Novak is a headhunter for scummy dirty doctor rehab houses that are set up to drain health insurance money. He is not some role model. Glad he’s sober but he’s still firmly a scumbag
I remember when I was in middle school, all of the girls who hung out with us had the biggest crushes on Bam. Looking at him now really makes you wonder
It's heartwarming to see people cheering for Bam to get better. I really hope he can kill of his demons. He was a huge part of my life at one point, when I was a young skateboarding guy. Good times.
@ElizabethSanto22 His family continued to enable him, to everyone's detriment. They did him zero favors and they didn't have to live with his bad decisions, only his money.
@lordmfitzgerald3rd754 yeah. It's says in the description this was filmed in 2021. So Bam's definitely been through some more ups and downs since then unfortunately.
This is the best thing I could ever ask for. Been Bam's biggest fan for over 20 years, I share all these memories often with Viva La Bam playbacks. Loved every moment of this 💜
I love Novak for completely changing his life around and becoming a role model and overall better person. I know Bam's been through hell for so many years now but hopefully he can see Brandon's sobriety and it just helps him get through all of this
.nah man he's still a shiesty f for that doe I hear . Only working with and around the rehab system to make it as he's a (celebrity) trying to help others... I'm sorry but he belongs getting high and being the true scumbag he is. F these asshats. Love for bam tho
@@The_Drake_Londondude Novak just rubs me the wrong way. There is something so off there. He just seems very "HEY EVERYBODY COME SEE HOW GREAT IM DOING!". I feel like sobriety is a show for him more than something he truly believes in. I feel the only reason he's "helping" Bam is because he knows EVERYONE has their eyes on him.
@eaturmeatornopuddin I think it would still be cool to see how all the other guys are doing these days though, like Raab, Rake, Glomb, Dico & of course April and Phil. Even without Ryan and Vito (RIP) I think it would still be cool to see where they're all at today
@@itsthespiceoflife typical Novak posting stuff this old as if it was recent. Not discounting the good that Novak has done, but he lies so much about his life it’s like he’s now addicted to white lying instead of white powder
Bam is in such a tough and rare position of being both enviable but in a kind of hell at the same time. I don't think people realize how hard it is to get over your addictions when in your addictions you peaked and were genuinely having a lot of fun. Look at the huge smile on his face reminiscing about all the things in his past. Deep down as much as Bam parrots recovery cliches and says that being sober is awesome he would go back to the way things were in a heartbeat.
it's a common misconception - Bam didn't use and rarely drank in his peak. He barely touched anything until after he spent time with Ville Valo, and didn't binge drink until after Ryan Dunn died which was well after his peak in the late 2000's. Steve-O on the other hand - was very much using during his entire rise to fame.
@@mordecaipandora5647 This is categorically false, and has been disproven by Joe Frantz and Brandon Novak. Bam has been a heavy cocaine and Alcohol user since at least 2005 which was his peak. His first intervention was in 2010 and Ryan Dunn attended it. Stop spreading falsities and educate yourself on a subject before speaking from ignorance.
Lol, just stupid entertainment and something to pass the time watching. If our generation sees these dudes as inspiration then we have a major problem.
So awesome to see Bam getting healthy. As a man in recovery from meth and heroin myself, this is so inspiring. Jackass and CKY was a huge part of my teenage years and I feel like I went through my addiction with these guys. I’ve since published a book and started a youth program.
what’s the youth program , i’m 3 years sober and everyday is battle that i take great pride in winning and yes life is more boring but knowing where i was heading and now where i am heading is so much better and more meaningful, for the future kids too. i’m in jacksonville beach if you want to connect your youth organ here it could give me a head start on my goals!
Just imagine the possibilities if Bam can keep this up? He could completely reinvent himself and we could see some greatness come back to life! So proud of you BAM!

Honestly you can tell Bam has been through it. I hope he sees this comment, and knows even though it's been hard for him, and he certainly hasn't helped himself, we ALL want him to keep going in this direction. We can literally all see the big difference already. Keep it up bam bam
I own all the viva la bam dvds and still watch it all religiously with my buddies , def a comfort show, no one will ever be able to make anything close to viva la bam again , love to see this
Can’t say I’ve really done this before but I’ve prayed Bam feels healthy mentally/physically because I’ve been a fan of this dude since he was on my favorite 411VM vhs tape I used to watch before going out skating all day. Small town WV growing up, not many “good” spots to skate but we made it work. Miss the 90’s and miss those days of skating all the time ✌️
The tables have literally turned, Brandon looks fantasic as bam used to now bam looks like novak used to! rooting for you dude, novak well done brother!
Him talking about the show instantly just shows how much he misses those days. I love and miss those days. Watching viva la bam and listening to radio bam was always great
Being a young adult is nice because the world still holds some unknown elements to it. Once you hit your 30's you have a full time job and responsibilities and you get sucked into routine whether you like it or not or you end up homeless. Sure, if you score an easy and high paying job due to personal connections things are easier and more fun but most people never get there. Then you work for 35-40 years to pay the bills until you retire and have another decade or two of quality life before you either die or end up in assisted living until you die and lose your freedom. I'm 53 and life has certainly weighed me down personally.
I know this is over 2 years ago, but Bam looks great! The best I've seen him in a very long time. I'm always rooting for him to find his way. Love ya, Bam!!
It was around January 2003 at around 8am. I was in the 82nd Airborne and about to deploy to Iraq for my first time. I flew up to Philly to visit some family before I left. I was at the Philly airport ready to fly back to NC when I was walking down one of the terminals toward a bar. I heard skateboards riding through the terminal. I look behind me and see these two dudes skating past me through the airport. Never seen that before and still haven’t ever since. I was a huge fan of CKY and knew exactly who they were. But they kept skating on. I sat down at the airport bar and began drinking a brew. Then here come the skating duo to sit right next to me. We shared a round of beers and a couple laughs and that was it. Good times. I wish you well Bam and Novak. Thanks for the memory.
Hope Bam keeps up his sobriety and health. I live in the same town and only wish the man health and happiness in his older ages. I'm around the same age also. What Bam and Jackass did for West Chester, Chester County PA was awesome. Made us all proud to live around where it all began. And as fans of the show and current resident. Our entire community mourned the loss of Ryan Dunn even though we didn't know him personally. He was still a resident. Lets all get old and happy.
Instead of being buried in memories, Bam and Brandon should start something new maybe a podcast, music, pranks etc. Sure the young wild days are over but just because they're older doesn't mean they shouldn't have fun anymore
He's so nostalgic. Dude, you get your shit together and you can have it all back. We're rooting for you! Keep going that right track and make new memories. It was good to see you smiling, though
I partied at Castle Bam years ago with both Bam & Novak. This was pre Dunn passing away. I pray Bam can stay clean/sober & find peace like I & Novak have. Not a fan of Novak though for he now pimps out addicts for financial gain, but glad he did spend time with his old friend, who desperately needs a true friend, SO HE NEEDS YOU NOW NOVAK, NOT YOU PRETENDING LIKE THIS IS NOW. I devote much of my life TRULY helping those who still suffer & I have a strong feeling that this video is a bit older, & Bam still a mess. We all were a mess back then, Novak was the most fucked up so glad he is at least clean. I recently celebrated 7yrs of continual recovery & living proof that WE CAN & DO RECOVER FROM THE HOPELESS SLOW SUICIDE
Bam really could’ve had the world by the nuts. He could’ve been an absolute mogul. He could be worth nearly a billion dollars by now. With his influence and brand I don’t think it’s too late for him to be these things.
Yeah but bipolar and all other mental illnesses are a bitch. Hard if not impossible to cure. Add on top of that a substance abuse problem? Yeah not looking so good..I still have high hopes for him though. I don't WANT to say he is a lost cause yet. But he's pushing towards 45yrs old and has cheated death many times in life already. Luck runs out ya know. ❤ I root for him though. Would love nothing more than to see the really cool guy I've enjoyed watching in his shows SUCCEED in this.
I never expected to see these guys in a room together. Keep up the good work Bam. I've always looked up to you. I even did a matching heartagram tattoo (location as well) decades ago when I was a teenager. Homemade tattoo machine with a guitar string 'needle'. We're all rooting for you man. I'm 5 months sober now.
This is amazing to see as someone who is now 36 y/o and grew up on watching Jackass, viva la bam and the jackass movies. Bam Should be sober for about 4 months now as we speak which is an amazing achievement. Let's hope one day he and Steve, Johnny and Jeff will rejoice one day.
Knowing how the crew treated Novak when so many of them were similar makes me feel a way, but tbh everyone needs redemption. I wish Bam a healthy sober life.
Anyone else kinda get classic MTV Cribs vibes from this? Of course they were missing the animations and transitions but especially that ending reminded me so much of the golden era of MTV... Glad to see Ban sober. I battled the opiate demon and I've been sober for 5 years now so I know how tough it can be to stay sober. Keep it up Bam
Being stuck in the past aint good for his mental health, everyone else is either moved on or gone and you are just there all alone.. speaking from experience.
Getting older is weird af. It turns into less about living in the moment and more about talking about old times. Wish someone told me to enjoy my youth more
That's true for people who stop being productive and creating new experiences Steve o and Knoxville talk about what they're doing Bam talks about what he's done
@@sixty-nine3574 after Dunn died Bam was never the same. I lost my best friend when I was 18 due to him overdosing so I relate to Bam but at some point you’re right man. Life moves on and you gotta get on with it. Thanks for the advice bro much appreciated.
Man... I legit felt like I was watching a Viva la bam episode. So glad to see these 2 together fooling around. Stay on the good path Brandon and Brandon
I love Bam he’s got such a good heart and soul, I pray he finds what he needs to stay and be happy for the rest of his years to come. I pray he’s able to surround himself with only positive people who don’t suck him dry and bring him down. Stay away Bam, from anyone trying to deceive and destroy you brother! Much love and respect, a fan!
Honestly it felt like god had given me a second chance when i got off opiates, benzos and alcohol and life seems so much better on the sobriety side im so grateful and thankful, obviously i knew brandon was sober but it was such a shock to see bam like this! Im overjoyed and i pray that he stays like this he seems to be funtioning better!
This video is pure Nostalgia thanks man it brings back so many memories in the the analogue tv times way before digital when everyone i knew was talking about viva la bam . I would love to chill out with Bam and Novak they are two good souls.
Dude Bam was a huge idle of mine growing up as a skateboarder. I’m so glad to see him making a great change in his life and sticking to it. And I’m so glad to see that he still has the Bam Castle. Lol
Such rad memories watching this.... Radio bam, viva la bam... so nostalgic for me! It's so comforting to see Bam and Novak both sober and looking good. Keep going Bam... there are SO many people rooting for you.
I work in recovery in the DE, PA, MD area and met Novak a few times. Really happy to see him and others getting sober as i grew up watching them on mtv and the viv la bam DVDs.
Bam, you are already a legend. your only job is to help up and coming legends and enjoy the love from all of us who you made piss our pants with laughter as we all grew up together.
Bam definitely has more people rooting for him then anyone else in history. I was 10 in 2000 and bam changed the world . We wrecked shit ! But then we grew up . Everyone that hates on bam still loves him deep inside.
It’s the craziest thing, watching the drone footage at the beginning, flying over Bam’s property, remembering all of the craziness from the past like the Treetop Casino, Miniature golf episode, Bam’s Uncivil War, etc. So many memories!
So good to see this. I just saw Novak on wild ride saying he cut bam out completely so maybe that interview happened before this. Glad they are on good terms. Child hood hero right there. Keep on going BAM!
We love you BAM! You have been important to myself and a lot of peoples upbringing. We only want to see you healthy and happy. Keep kicking ass and pushing forward!
I just want to give him The Biggest Hug. I'm 62. I remember watching him on Viva LA Bam ,...so loving that show,..."What will he do next?" ,...Whatever the f I want!"😅
I got to meet Bam here in San Antonio, Texas for a skate expo. He autographed a pic for me, and I told him how much I enjoyed his shows growing up. He looked real good and was in great spirits. 😊
Dudes gone through life and has ups and downs like everyone else . I am a fan of him and his work and will always be a fan . Still a mentor and always will be . Proud of you bam!
That was by far that best version of Bam I have seen in a long time. I hope to see more of him headed that direction .
Sadly this is recent.

Honestly you can tell Bam has been through it. I hope he sees this comment, and knows even though it's been hard for him, and he certainly hasn't helped himself, we ALL want him to keep going in this direction. We can literally all see the big difference already. Keep it up bam bam
This is from 2021 and a treatment center posted for some reason.
These guys lived a life, imagine doing all this at that age, no limitations or money worries. Still go back and rewatch these every now and then!
I own all the viva la bam dvds and still watch it all religiously with my buddies , def a comfort show, no one will ever be able to make anything close to viva la bam again , love to see this
All good things come to an end. Those words are so true. Thanks for the memories!
Can’t say I’ve really done this before but I’ve prayed Bam feels healthy mentally/physically because I’ve been a fan of this dude since he was on my favorite 411VM vhs tape I used to watch before going out skating all day.
Small town WV growing up, not many “good” spots to skate but we made it work.
Miss the 90’s and miss those days of skating all the time ✌️
This was recorded 2 years ago, hopefully BAM gets back to looking/sounding like this
@@jagetengilthat’s what it says in the description
Hope you had a healthy birthday, Bam. Much respect in recovery, my friend.
The tables have literally turned, Brandon looks fantasic as bam used to now bam looks like novak used to! rooting for you dude, novak well done brother!
This right here brings me a lot of nostalgia 🥲 I know it's from 2021 but it still does!
We're rooting for you Bam! You've inspired so many of us even without meaning too. You gotta pull through this man, we all really love you bro!
Him talking about the show instantly just shows how much he misses those days. I love and miss those days. Watching viva la bam and listening to radio bam was always great
Being a young adult is nice because the world still holds some unknown elements to it. Once you hit your 30's you have a full time job and responsibilities and you get sucked into routine whether you like it or not or you end up homeless. Sure, if you score an easy and high paying job due to personal connections things are easier and more fun but most people never get there. Then you work for 35-40 years to pay the bills until you retire and have another decade or two of quality life before you either die or end up in assisted living until you die and lose your freedom.
I'm 53 and life has certainly weighed me down personally.
We're on on your side, man!!
I hope he can stick it out and find life again ❤
You're a loser.
Can you please turn the music down next time I can't hear anything they are saying?
Matter of fact, rethink the music completely. Like no music maybe.
Really? I heard every word. Maybe clean your ears out possibly?😊
yeah imagine not fading it out
You guys are being dramatic. I literally heard everything they said
Scrub yo filthy sphincter dungeon & control your own volume… sissy? 👊
This was such a treat to watch. And probably one of the more meaningful things I’ve seen lately too. Thanks for sharing this production!
I know this is over 2 years ago, but Bam looks great! The best I've seen him in a very long time. I'm always rooting for him to find his way. Love ya, Bam!!
This was nice to see Bam and Novak together, hopes Bam keeps on track.
He recently got another DUI. Let’s hope Bam can go back to being sober and find a way to make it work consistently.
It was around January 2003 at around 8am. I was in the 82nd Airborne and about to deploy to Iraq for my first time. I flew up to Philly to visit some family before I left. I was at the Philly airport ready to fly back to NC when I was walking down one of the terminals toward a bar. I heard skateboards riding through the terminal. I look behind me and see these two dudes skating past me through the airport. Never seen that before and still haven’t ever since. I was a huge fan of CKY and knew exactly who they were. But they kept skating on. I sat down at the airport bar and began drinking a brew. Then here come the skating duo to sit right next to me. We shared a round of beers and a couple laughs and that was it. Good times. I wish you well Bam and Novak. Thanks for the memory.
Hope Bam keeps up his sobriety and health. I live in the same town and only wish the man health and happiness in his older ages. I'm around the same age also. What Bam and Jackass did for West Chester, Chester County PA was awesome. Made us all proud to live around where it all began. And as fans of the show and current resident. Our entire community mourned the loss of Ryan Dunn even though we didn't know him personally. He was still a resident. Lets all get old and happy.
Looks like he's doing fine to me. Maintain it Bam! Been a fan of yours for decades. You got this bro, just maintain it.
I knew he would find his way. I'm so fkn happy to see bam being himself like this. I pray for him and his family especially ape and Phil.
Bam is the man im seriously so proud of him. i love this dude
Im so happy to see Bam doing this well, I really hope he cans keep it up, we need you Bam it’s not your time yet
This is from 2021...
Good to see Bam and Novac in contact again. Brandon is a great advocate for sobriety and a great friend with shared trauma. Loved this.
Had a rough day today but seeing these 2 together again, happy and sober really made me smile. Godspeed boys ✌️❤️
Instead of being buried in memories, Bam and Brandon should start something new maybe a podcast, music, pranks etc. Sure the young wild days are over but just because they're older doesn't mean they shouldn't have fun anymore
100% agreed, or even like a more tame version of Viva La Bam.
good old days
Bam's gotta drop the persona, he's still living his 20's in his mind. Love the guy and wish him the best.
I applauded you both for coming together and reuniting your friendship. If Bam can be his own man, he will continue to do well.
He's so nostalgic. Dude, you get your shit together and you can have it all back. We're rooting for you! Keep going that right track and make new memories. It was good to see you smiling, though
Now bring Dicamillo back into the mix and start making new videos, and only release them on VHS lol
I partied at Castle Bam years ago with both Bam & Novak. This was pre Dunn passing away. I pray Bam can stay clean/sober & find peace like I & Novak have. Not a fan of Novak though for he now pimps out addicts for financial gain, but glad he did spend time with his old friend, who desperately needs a true friend, SO HE NEEDS YOU NOW NOVAK, NOT YOU PRETENDING LIKE THIS IS NOW. I devote much of my life TRULY helping those who still suffer & I have a strong feeling that this video is a bit older, & Bam still a mess. We all were a mess back then, Novak was the most fucked up so glad he is at least clean. I recently celebrated 7yrs of continual recovery & living proof that WE CAN & DO RECOVER FROM THE HOPELESS SLOW SUICIDE
Bam really could’ve had the world by the nuts. He could’ve been an absolute mogul. He could be worth nearly a billion dollars by now. With his influence and brand I don’t think it’s too late for him to be these things.
Yeah but bipolar and all other mental illnesses are a bitch. Hard if not impossible to cure. Add on top of that a substance abuse problem? Yeah not looking so good..I still have high hopes for him though. I don't WANT to say he is a lost cause yet. But he's pushing towards 45yrs old and has cheated death many times in life already. Luck runs out ya know. ❤ I root for him though. Would love nothing more than to see the really cool guy I've enjoyed watching in his shows SUCCEED in this.
Mental health trumps fame and wealth. Those things are worthless without the ability to be comfortable without them.
Money ain’t everything
I never expected to see these guys in a room together. Keep up the good work Bam. I've always looked up to you. I even did a matching heartagram tattoo (location as well) decades ago when I was a teenager. Homemade tattoo machine with a guitar string 'needle'. We're all rooting for you man. I'm 5 months sober now.
This is amazing to see as someone who is now 36 y/o and grew up on watching Jackass, viva la bam and the jackass movies. Bam Should be sober for about 4 months now as we speak which is an amazing achievement. Let's hope one day he and Steve, Johnny and Jeff will rejoice one day.
Knowing how the crew treated Novak when so many of them were similar makes me feel a way, but tbh everyone needs redemption. I wish Bam a healthy sober life.
I remember being a little skater punk watching viva la bam, now I’m a dad with a mortgage watching this, absolutely wild.
Right!!!! I even made myself a Viva La (with my nickname) shirt for my senior trip lol
this is from 2021
Oof got em
No way, really?
read the description@@snupolupogate2895
I swear he doesn’t even talk to Brandon anymore
Damn, I thought it was recent. I've heard Ba. Is doing better tho. I hope so
As someone from Philly in recovery from addiction, it makes me so happy to see BAM like this.
Loser 😂
Anyone else kinda get classic MTV Cribs vibes from this? Of course they were missing the animations and transitions but especially that ending reminded me so much of the golden era of MTV... Glad to see Ban sober. I battled the opiate demon and I've been sober for 5 years now so I know how tough it can be to stay sober. Keep it up Bam
You could really tell it's aching inside of him that those times are over and its time to move on
Being stuck in the past aint good for his mental health, everyone else is either moved on or gone and you are just there all alone.. speaking from experience.
Getting older is weird af. It turns into less about living in the moment and more about talking about old times. Wish someone told me to enjoy my youth more
That's true for people who stop being productive and creating new experiences
Steve o and Knoxville talk about what they're doing
Bam talks about what he's done
@@sixty-nine3574 after Dunn died Bam was never the same. I lost my best friend when I was 18 due to him overdosing so I relate to Bam but at some point you’re right man. Life moves on and you gotta get on with it. Thanks for the advice bro much appreciated.
Man... I legit felt like I was watching a Viva la bam episode. So glad to see these 2 together fooling around. Stay on the good path Brandon and Brandon
I could watch an hour of this. Keep this kinda thing coming
This was dope AF
I love Bam he’s got such a good heart and soul, I pray he finds what he needs to stay and be happy for the rest of his years to come. I pray he’s able to surround himself with only positive people who don’t suck him dry and bring him down. Stay away Bam, from anyone trying to deceive and destroy you brother! Much love and respect, a fan!
Honestly it felt like god had given me a second chance when i got off opiates, benzos and alcohol and life seems so much better on the sobriety side im so grateful and thankful, obviously i knew brandon was sober but it was such a shock to see bam like this! Im overjoyed and i pray that he stays like this he seems to be funtioning better!
This video is pure Nostalgia thanks man it brings back so many memories in the the analogue tv times way before digital when everyone i knew was talking about viva la bam . I would love to chill out with Bam and Novak they are two good souls.
Dude Bam was a huge idle of mine growing up as a skateboarder. I’m so glad to see him making a great change in his life and sticking to it. And I’m so glad to see that he still has the Bam Castle. Lol
Perhaps your idol should have been an author of children's books.
This is the best Bam has ever looked to me. Keep it up, Bam!
hope these guys know how much joy they’ve brought to us all over the years, nothing but love for these guys.
miss ya too ryan ❤
Such rad memories watching this.... Radio bam, viva la bam... so nostalgic for me! It's so comforting to see Bam and Novak both sober and looking good. Keep going Bam... there are SO many people rooting for you.
I work in recovery in the DE, PA, MD area and met Novak a few times. Really happy to see him and others getting sober as i grew up watching them on mtv and the viv la bam DVDs.
I'm so happy to see him doing well. He and the others brought so many laughs to our generation.
I will always be rooting for BAM in general. It's good to see him doing well.
Bam, you are already a legend. your only job is to help up and coming legends and enjoy the love from all of us who you made piss our pants with laughter as we all grew up together.
Bam definitely has more people rooting for him then anyone else in history. I was 10 in 2000 and bam changed the world . We wrecked shit ! But then we grew up . Everyone that hates on bam still loves him deep inside.
It’s the craziest thing, watching the drone footage at the beginning, flying over Bam’s property, remembering all of the craziness from the past like the Treetop Casino, Miniature golf episode, Bam’s Uncivil War, etc. So many memories!
When I was a 13 year old skater I found a CKY vid at the shop. 25 years been rooting for Bam. won't stop. LETS GO BAM!
What a blast from the past thank you for this
So good to see this. I just saw Novak on wild ride saying he cut bam out completely so maybe that interview happened before this. Glad they are on good terms. Child hood hero right there. Keep on going BAM!
We love you BAM! You have been important to myself and a lot of peoples upbringing. We only want to see you healthy and happy. Keep kicking ass and pushing forward!
DAMN NEAR THE BEST VIDEO OF 2023! STAY HEALTHY, THE WORLD IS ROCKIN W/ YOU BAM.
•LEGEND•
I just want to give him The Biggest Hug. I'm 62. I remember watching him on Viva LA Bam ,...so loving that show,..."What will he do next?" ,...Whatever the f I want!"😅
I got to meet Bam here in San Antonio, Texas for a skate expo. He autographed a pic for me, and I told him how much I enjoyed his shows growing up. He looked real good and was in great spirits. 😊
i love hearing the happiness in their voices while remembering the good times
So happy to hear he is 120 days sober now. If he can do it, then so can I! Starting now.
To be young again, they were a big part of my life. I wish nothing but the best for them.
Dudes gone through life and has ups and downs like everyone else . I am a fan of him and his work and will always be a fan . Still a mentor and always will be . Proud of you bam!
As someone in my mid 30s.. I grew up watching these guys as they grew up too. Its nice to see them doing better.
