@@stephen300o6 No he isn't, dude's locked up in rehab and trying to sue the Jackass crew because he's an alcoholic druggy who doesn't know how to grow up and take responsibilities.
Completely agree! Watching him skate, I feel like he just picked up a skateboard one day and decided he was going to be a pro and just did it. (Im over here like did you see me Ollie while moving?!) I’m sure he bailed a good bit but he seems like one of the most naturally talented skateboarders I’ve ever watched. Not saying he didn’t put in some work but just watching his show (which I’m sure was scripted to be over the top but still) and how crazy he was, it’s hard to see him training for hours everyday. I imagine if he’d kept it up, he could have been the best skateboarder but he was fine with “one of” [the best].
He made those tricks look so easy. Lots of people don't give him enough credit for how smooth he was transitioning from one obstacle to another. My flip tricks and spins looked so rough. I hope he never stops skating, especially now.
Man watching this makes me remember why Bam was like my favorite skater back then. At the time I was little and I just thought he was the coolest dude ever and I wanted to be like him. Always liked the Element brand so much. I think Bam is so overlooked when it comes to how sick he really is on a skateboard.
Element was my brand when I first started. Man I loved element for years.. then started trying out other stuff (plan b was ok, alien workshop was awful) then finally tried out girl/chocolate and fell in love again. Long time ago.
@@nateorius i did. He has degraded horrifically. Homie's too busy crashing other people's parties and blaming his infant son for his addictions to keep up with the skate game. The fuck do you think i based my statement off of? I said he *was* good, implying i've seen modern Bam skate.
I feel like Bam represents the daring it takes to be pro. He doesn’t finesse much, rather skates hard and fast. You just can’t take your eyes off him because he’s gonna be the one to try some wild shit. Succeed or fail, he just wants that footage! 😄
@@easterdm He's either drunk or on some kinda drug. Last I heard he's been locked in rehab but still seems off his rocker as he's trying to sue the Jackass crew for getting fired even though it was his own fault
@@kylldozer I can't even remember myself. Trying to make sense of it.. might be a text predict error.. or I was abit drunk. Not calling anyone specific out. Just the modern youth generation in general vs earlier times before everything was about making money and selling out and fame seekers and blah blah blah.
One of my best skating memories was of Bam showing up at FDR when I was there once. He had that place so wired. It was amazing how much speed he got there, his lines were perfect
@@zibbydafuqjo4584 oh he was doing that shit back then. Went to visit a friend at Westchester college. We meet some girls that were invited to his house party so we went with them. Bam literally came out plowed some lines of coke and didn’t see him the rest of the night. This was 05. Partying just caught up with the dude.
It’s hard to believe how good he really was. He had an interesting bag of tricks and a very unique and innovative style. He was a big part of my childhood and gave me a lot of great memories. Thanks Bam.
@@bobwreck3775Bro, he can't get some harder bushings and shred because he's in his FOURTIES? Wtf talk about gatekeeping lmao though I agree he shouldn't over do it..
@@dawnlightgaming6449 His bones are probably brittle now from all the alcohol and pills and drugs. He needs to drop 30 pounds to take off excessive pressure on the knees.
Thats why it was always fun to watch him. He really stood out as a skater. And just as a person in general. He knew how to have fun, and that's a big part of it. Gotta enjoy what ya do.
One of the best to ever do it. Such effortless style. Particularly at 3:55 what a unique way of floating through the air. Amazing locations and camera work
He is making a comeback guys 100 days sober hopefully we get some more great bam content In the future im sure cause of age he can't do all the same skate tricks but I'm sure he can still tear it up when he gets back into the swing he has started skateboarding again
i’m watching this as i’m on my 4th beer. look how talented he was. look at how an addiction can stream your talent without you realizing it. i played guitar for 12 years. i drunk cuz i s joy it more than i play now.
I was really good at football, went to national invitation only camps across the country but i guess I preferred just getting high with my friends and I threw away that opportunity
I know you posted this 3 years ago but maybe you're still there. Bro there's no way you enjoy more drinking than playing. Don't lie to yourself, KEEP ON PLAYING AND GIVE UP THE BOOZE. You will regret it in the future if you don't.
This dude was my jay adams he did his thing with so much attitude and elegance it was incredible watching his during my younger days. My favorite skater of all time 🤟🏽
Watched the first Jackass movie a while back- my dad walked in and got excited to see Bam and Steve-O. Not for the stunts- he just started talking about remembering them from the late 90’s skateboard scene.
I use to idolize Bam back when I first started skating, but then I found crazier skaters like Jamie Thomas, Danny Way and Rodney Mullen. Bam might not be the greatest skater but he's still a crazy badass
I'm not sure what you would call it. But he's the best at making the board look like it's a snowboard. It's like it hovers under his feet. His big spins look like a propeller underneath him. 360 and 180s he stays perfectly alined with the board. I've never seen him as a ligit skater but every time I'd see the little parts he was in, you would think he's pretty good but I'd forget about it real quick. Once it went back to him turning his house into a castle.
At 1:50 when he gaps up on to the road, any one know what that's called? I've always considered it a step up. Im looking for a compilation of step up jumps/ gaps.
After all these years... 411 bubble bath. Too bad he got sucked into the Hollywood scene, but he’s been crazy from day one. It just worsened with the industry. Props for sobriety Bam!! Great footage, good share.
AYO 😳 MADE ME FEEL LIKE AN OPENING TO A TONY HAWK SK8 GAME 🤣 ugh... How I miss those prepubescent days of knocking my ankles with my board at the local park 😂
I've been watching Bam since his Landspeed (sk8 company that only existed for one video) skate video. My close buddy back in the day and I always got together to watch whatever skate video he picked up that week. This was our high school teen years the late 1990s. One of my favorites was like 5-6 pro skaters riding a humongous (bigger that a couch, like multiple couches) skateboard through town down stairs, hills, streets, insanity, but pure joy to watch. Bam and his crew always felt like they could easily been in our group of friends! Bam and his antics were like our inside private joke, the Cky videos cemented it and it grew in popularity and eventually Jackass and Viva LA Bam came along and soon our inside private joke was being intruded by a large scale of intruders. I miss the old days, when Dunn was still around and Bam seemed to be doing so much better.
Golden Era of Skateboarding
I miss Bam. More specifically, Bam having fun.
He’s doing it seems on his insta now thank God
Yeah me 2 unfortunately the rock and roll lifestyle went way to far bam got lost it's a shame.
He is returning.
Does anyone know the track?
@@stephen300o6 No he isn't, dude's locked up in rehab and trying to sue the Jackass crew because he's an alcoholic druggy who doesn't know how to grow up and take responsibilities.
It's easy to forget just how sick Bam was on a skateboard. He made himself be more known as a stuntman to most people.

Hes still dope rn. Watch him on instagram lol
Jason Grevy ???? U good ????
Man watching bam skate makes me wanna be a kid again
Dude, yeah. Nostalgia
Bam is consistently landing sick tricks as of July 2024 and losing some weight too
It's fkd how much better being a kid was
I love watching Bam skate. He’s always looked so focused and calm when he skates.
yep. 10000% right!
and happy
yeah reminds me of people like Tony Hawk where they look more comfortable on the board than they do on their actual feet lol

Boy, you've not been keeping up on bam huh?
You have really no idea 🤣🤣
He's skating again which is Awesome. But he really makes it look easy.. unbelievably smooth performance
He is absolutely shite at skating now

Is he dead 💀

Same I liked that he skated vert and street.
4:35 best kick flip ever
My thoughts exactly
Can't remember which one, but a well-known skater was with him that day. He told Bam that may be the greatest kickflip he'd ever seen.
@@peazeralus the chief jamie thomas.
@@sgt.lincolnosiris4111 Thank you!!! That bothered me... But apparently not enough to break down and use google lol
yup. utterly correct man

5:06 was insane
This is Bam living his best life right here.
Over time it’s easy to forget how damn good he was. Dude could skate
Anyone know the song that's playing? What a sick jam
Yeah, i wanna know too

He sounds like a LEGO Star Wars character that just died 0:50

Honestly alot of Bam's tricks are unreal
What's the song I love it

Edit: Bam hasn’t been the same since Ryan’s death, I can tell it affected him
Time for BAM to make a come back!

3:25 dude.. that big ass drop in and back side flip out was SWITCH. This dude was crazy.
Gah that line at 1:19 was so butter
Even in a fat suit he makes it look clean.
the boardslide in the fat suit still gets me every time
The fdr kick flip to flat on the pyramid is forever stuck in my head
So friggin good
Bam was awesome I'm glad he is getting back on his feet good for him wish him nothing g but the best
Because of this I broke out my ps2 just to hit a barf and grind!
Love you Bam!
