    There’s a horrible irony here. When we were all young, he provided us a beautiful outlet to all of our structured lives. He showed us chaos and anarchy as a wonderful escape for all of us trapped in the monotony of life. And now 20 years later we’re all watching the reverse effect. This is what it looks like when you’ve never powered through the pain and monotony of a predictably structured life. He’s missing the context we all have built up to survive this life. I feel for him and I wish him the best.

      Don't wanna sound pessimistic or be a grumpy cat or what not. But I wouldn't put this label of 'having flipped it all' quite yet.
      He seems still very excessive and not as balanced as the other two. Also I feel like he's not 100 percent sincere, since he also tends to blame the world a lot just in general. But still, I'm very glad to see him like that. This is the best we've seen him in like forever!

Like you clearly don't like the man so why the hell are you on his nuts? You could argue that he's making up stories if he was still in the a relapse episode but the fact that he's sober, and been sober and is saying the exact same things is clearly a wake-up call that everything he saying is not bullshxt but the fact that you People just want to hate on this man so badly you're going to do whatever and say whatever to try and twist the narrative.

He could become a Pope and never ever touch drugs or alcohol again and you people will still always find something about him to complain about because that is your main agenda(extreme hypothetical scenario for extreme hypothetical scenario 🥱), and that's because at the end of the day it is hating duh! You could argue that everything he saying is made up if he was still in the stage of relapse but the fact that he's been sober for months now and is saying the exact same things it's pretty evident that everything he is saying is not total BS because people who make up stories when they're off drugs and alcohol tend to not remember the things they said when they were intoxicated because it was untrue, and real fans that truly do follow him because they grew up with him can tell you that most of everything he saying is true if you're done your homework on everything he saying but I digress 🥱.

    Good to see Bam in a good place nowadays, I'm almost 30 and he's the inspiration for me to pick up a board back when I was 8-9. The Castle is bout a half hour drive from where I live and I've spent countless hours at FDR bustin my ass more often than not, watched literally EVERY single thing he's filmed multiple times over. My first board was one of his Element decks set up wit Venture trucks, Bonez Redz bearings, Spitfire wheels and Lucky risers that I prized more than any other possession I had. Thanks Bam for all the years of laughs and inspiration, wish the absolute best of health, luck and most positive of vibes to ya

    Answer me this and I don't wish anything bad for him. How in the hell can you say you're on the right path when you've spent the last 8 months on the road? The right thing to do would be to lay down some roots so you can create some stability in your life. That's how you see your son again. Not Bam though. He's addicted to the celebrity lifestyle and he will relapse again. I don't see how he won't. Throwing yourself into a sport like skateboarding is great until it's taken away due to injury or other unforeseen circumstances. Don't worry though, he has structure because he takes care of two dogs. Talks about his girl's dogs more than his son. Gimme a break man. He still refuses to take accountability for the mess he created. And stop with the stupid stories from two decades ago. Nobody cares. He's a clout chaser who will never grow up, period. The fame is all he cares about.

His reality is his reality who are we to judge. I love bam but I couldn't even watch this whole video.. dude was talking way to much for my vibe.. what he needs to do is forget the past & let it go! we've all heard these same old stories he should go kiss his mother and father before it's to late. Also looks like he's based the foundation of his sobriety on a relationship which is never good.. leaning on other for your own happiness or anything for that matter is a pure gamble every time. I wish he would learn to trust and lean on himself instead of another woman that could be good gone tomorrow.. 🤷🏼‍♂️ js all love tho

It's never too late and just like skating, if you fall off you have to get back up. I hope that he can stay clean and as long as he stays plugged in with the right people, he definitely has a shot at it. We all deserve peace and I hope Bam finally found his.

Not blame everyone else and admit he was the one that had the problem which is a big step in recovery. 2. Says that he actually wants to be clean when before he would claim he didn't have a problem with drinking. Don't get me wrong he still sounds a little like he hasn't completely admitted to himself that everyone wasn't sending him to rehab to hurt him. But again he does sound like he's finally getting with whatever program is working for him to stay clean.

    This is big. Some serious wisdon being shown right here. You can tell he's still early sobriety by the way he speaks but that doesn't take away from the fact a lot of its right. Treatment is for the physical. Detox, rehab, etc. That's all well and good and its an incredible tool but then when you leave, you're still you....and BAM is fucked (I say that so lovingly) The problem isn't solved. For most of us as addicts, structure is foreign to us and its SO FUCKING CRUCIAL to the recovery process. He talks about having something to live for and his kid being his main reason for sobriety which is great to hear but really you've got to do it for you before anything else. That was the only concerning part but its very possible that's what he means when he says that. Either way, this is the beginning of a MAJOR fucking victory story here and I. am. here. for. it. Fight is not over but I wish him all the best moving forward.

    Bam created reality tv, and there has been nothing as good ever since on that front. He is a genius in his own way. So glad he got off the drugs & booze before it was to late.

      bam created cky and cky turned into jackass and viva la bam, he never created reality tv, reality tv was a thing before on mtv ( the osbournes etc etc )
      he's def. NOT off booze&drugs and he def. lost his old humor and mindset
      we can only hope he's not ending dead in a week

      Stfu with this ‘real fans’ nonsense. The real fans have always cared about this guy and wanted him to get better. Being a ‘real fan” doesn’t mean you co-sign every dumb thing he says and agree with him deflecting any accountability for anything.
