Blows my mind that I was probably 12-13 years old, eating lunch and watching Bam skate, now here I am in my mid-30s eating lunch and watching Bam skate.
U and me both. 23 over here 🤙
@@jessejames6123 almost makes you wanna grab a board again huh?
Idolizing one of the biggest twats to ever ride a board as a kid is understandable, to still be here today is not.
@@davrogrz4542 the 'biggest twat' is redeeming himself, making amends, and becoming a better person!
what are you doing?
@@we-must-live lol, not putting myself in that position.
seeing Bam skate makes me so happy bruh
Dawg I watch your videos. I didn’t know you watch thrasher
Why would thrasher upload year old skate footage and make it seem like he’s doing better when he’s not. This was before he was fired from jackass. He’s doing a lot worse now.
Skate is life ... Trust me
Same omg 😲 he’s phenomenal
Pretty impressed. Was bumming about the last few videos I saw of him. Completely down and out. Glad he climbed out of the abyss.
So wholesome to see the skate community help this man rediscover his passion for skating and surround him with positivity and encouragement.
Bam- I mean this in the best way. Less thinking, more skating. You will always be a legend on the skate deck to millions. Stay strong, you got this.
This is the type of video no one asked for but everyone needed.
i wasn't asking for this persay, but i was hoping for this.
Lmao
Couldn't agree more.
Smiled all the way through it.
I asked
@Figgy Newton hesaidso I sadly think this is 6 months old or so
Damn this makes me happy. This is what everyone wants for BAM
Hopefully HE wants it
This is old footy.
bam is washed up
He's been in a downward spiral ever since he's gotten kicked off the Jackass Crew because he can't stay sober. He needs some serious help.
I want bam to be in jackass
Bam was the reason I started to skate at 14 & I'm 35 now. my first deck was an element board design he had at the time. Like he was literally my hero. I hate seeing him going through his trials but I'm happy to see he still can smile despite it all
Dude your currently witnessing your hero fight the badest fucking supervillain that ever existed. And currently winning.. before he looked like shit. This is the bam I remeber
Crazy how time flies, right? Feels like 2001 wasn't that long ago when I was watching Bam in 8th grade. Skate boarded till about 24 years old. Then, I saw it phase out to scooters, etc, with the other generation.
His balance and strength is really impressive, I can't believe some of the landings he can come out of
When he smiles after landing a trick he looks like young bam again.
@SHANNON BRETT more like Vito
Yo all you haters are out of your minds if you don’t think that everybody skating heavy around Bam’s era is facing the same obstacles trying to get back on that board many years later, is out of their fucking minds. Good for the homie Bam overcoming his demons and getting back to what brings him joy.
And yeah, karma is giving Bam a little payback for all the Phil and Vito jokes back in the day. What goes around, comes around my friend. 😂😂😂😂
This is bam, real bam, pray he finds his happiness
He threatened to kill Jeff Tremaines kids after this was filmed
You can enjoy watching his skating and still understand he's a bloated abusive shitheel
This was before he went nuts again.
he needs Jesus...plain and simple.
Bam is bam.
Coked up bam, crying bam, lying cheating and loving bam. Its all bam.
We dont love him because of being sober and down to earth. You would never even know of him was it not for the drugs.
@@adrianflo6481 before cky
The way he smiles at the end when people celebrate him after nailing that crooked shows he knows he's back at the right place. Stay happy bam you're amazing!
This almost brings me to tears. Seeing Bam skate when he was younger was like no one id ever seen. so unique. and to see him now being this technical on a skateboard is just beautiful man. He still got it!! What an amazing sport, what an amazing human! Much love to Bam and hoping he continues to be surrounded by this type of positivity.
Overweight Bam that hasn't been skating: "I saw Tony Hawk do it. Idk what it is."
**does it**
Favorite Comment
This comment is everything. That tail slide though 👌😳
Yeah this guy was just as famous as tony hawk back in his day.
Yes. lol
Tony will be doing it on a full size vert ramp though...
Hope this is the beginning of him getting his life back.
It won't, he tried it before
@@pointlessfailure people like you are what makes it even more difficult for some.
@@SpectrumSkate facts
This was filmed in the winter
Most of this is well over a year old. He's fell off the wagon again multiple times since this was shot. He still isn't any better
Beautiful to see him working past his demons and getting back to his roots.
He was just arrested the other day in California for domestic violence.
@@jack-of-all-trades1234 I heard he's wanted in Pennsylvania. 🙁
Didn’t age well lol
I don't know if he knows this but he's still got the ability to make a lot of people so nostalgic and happy to see him enjoy skating and be around skaters like this again. You can see how much he still loves it and may have forgotten that himself for a quick minute.
Considering his age, his physique, his alcohol und medication problems, as well as lack of practice, the fact that he's still able to skate like this, shows how good of a skater he once was and partially still is. Respect! Absolutely amazing!
Very true. Though it also shows the power of drugs
@@rzadigi shows the power of skating too, healthy addiction you could switch to, I think the thrill of it wears off a lil after time, but when you find it again it’s a life saver
Tought exactly the same. Kinda out of shape he still killing it .A lot of skills.
@@jacobrodriguez7456 agreed! Very powerful that skateboarding is.
@@jacobrodriguez7456 Facts!
It's so nice to see Bam being surrounded by positivity. The man needed it. He's still a beast at skating
And they don't cast him in jackads 4....
@@kaizikorugwm9251 He never shouldve joined jackass imo he woudlve had an insane skate career
@@urbanumbra6170 he did till he fucked it up
@@kaizikorugwm9251 he was cast in the movie, everybody has to stay sober on set and bam kept getting all fucked up so they were forced to kick him out of the movie, can’t have that shit around Steve-0 who’s a recovering addict and multiple other people who have had drug problems. Wish he was in the movie but he has only himself to blame because he would be in the movie if he just stayed sober on set.
@@puppetmaster8551 tbh it’s jackass dude maybe Steveo should have been off the set…because being sober is great but jackass was built off partying and drugs…steveo moved on from that should have moved on from javkass
I really hope this is Bam’s “getting back on the wagon” moment. You can tell this just makes him so happy, and it’s really nice to see that after all the pain he’s been through, especially in the past couple of years. I really hope he turns it all around, he deserves it
It's awesome to see guys that you watched in your childhood still skateboarding in they 40's/50's. Keep going strong Chris and BAM.
Watching bam evolve into a skate version of Phil makes my childhood so much better lol
Lmao
Lookin like Don Vito lol
Phil looks better then he did before
Bam is evolving into his Phil form
I'm glad THRASHER is showing him love considering all the lows he is overcoming.
I mean, don't pretend like no one else has shown him love.
Not overcoming much tbh. That’s the problem.
@@simonbaker95 yeah unfortunately this dude is still a bit out there..
Seeing the 1.2 million views. More like Bam showing Thrasher the love
They know more than most what addiction can do to a person. Mankind is fragile. Good luck Bam , were rooting for you
Bams so talented. I hope he figures things out in his life. I have always enjoyed watching him skate. Andy is a Thrasher!!!!
Good to see him smile!
Thanks for yhe upload
Very helpful and inspiring and motivating
Fuck. Seeing him skate again after all these years just makes me so fucking happy. I think I’ll go pick up my board tomorrow aswell!
Don't just say it do it!!!
Come on we both know that's not gonna happen 🤣
Don't do it!!!!!!! Lol
DO not pick your board up tomorrow! IT WILL CAUSE THE APOCALYPSE!!!!!!!
Did ya?
The way Andy Roy hurles himself around is something special.
He's the best at falling. That's for sure. Crazy how he doesn't get hurt.
@@realtalkwiththeking7862 his wipeouts are my favorite.. so funny
I always love to see that dude skate. He's balls out on a board.
He's gonna need another pair of teeth
That's true.
After Dunn’s passing, I saw how dramatically that impacted Bam and his life from that moment on. He’s had some rough times, but I’m so happy to see him doing what he loves again. Best of luck to you, Bam. You got this .
Yup best friend dies and he's a millionaire with nothing to do....... That's a bad combo when you're so hurt inside and you have all the money to drown yourself in addiction for the rest of your life. He just needs to know that we all love and care. I love seeing him riding with Andy too, people like Andy and Steve-o can really help him because they were way more gone when they were using and they turned their lives around. If Andy or Steve can do it then anyone can.
Steve O debunked this recently on his podcast. He said that bam has had a substance abuse problem for a while, Ryan Dunn was at his first intervention.
That is not really debunking, his own mother has said that Ryan dying had a big ass impact on his even bigger abuse of alcohol the years afterwards. Just because Ryan was their at first does not mean it didn't send Bam into a downward spiral.
Couldn’t agree more. Everyone is gonna judge, but loss and addiction is the absolute worst combination. I just pray he stays on the right path. Keepin the good vibes!
I will always have love for Bam. I am rooting for you and am glad to see you overcoming all you've been through. Your skill as a skater is still there. Keep shredding 💖
There's a really rad dude stuck somewhere in that body. If Novak and Steve-O can do it BAM can too. Hope he gets there.
Bro and Andy Roy! is sober too!
For real
I'm not trying to say he should not seek to grow, but who he is in every moment is valid, Loved, and full of Light and purpose. He still is that really rad dude, he's just hurting. We all are great but it's hard to see, and accept it when we live in a world that seeks to consume souls for fuel.
@@MysticMonkeyMiracle yo you're about to make me cry
@@DamienVerrett it is all so beautiful isn't it? :') haha I'm glad you're letting yourself feel things!
Andy Roy bails are my new favorite thing to see lmfao he's so animated
Fr he just hucks with full commitment. Every bail he falls head first lol
Falls like a toddler.
Was thinking the exact same haha
@John McFarland pearly whites
Then he gets back up, tries again, and lands it 🙌🙌🙌
Bam, we love you man! I'm glad to see you skating still!
This warms my heart & soul
For him to pull this off in the shape he’s in shows how insanely talented he really is
For fuckin real. Bam was always interesting as hell to watch skate
@@oyster_ditch he used to do really big tricks but the drugs took over
@@kurtangusofficial sadness only fuels it more too
Bam has always been one of my favorites- he has great flow, and tight intricate moves and combos.
@@oyster_ditch he’s so damn creative
For a self proclaimed fat, sweaty meatball he still got some moves 🤙
Proud of you Bam! Keep rocking it my dude! I hit a hump in life recently and you've inspired me to pick myself back up! Thank you!
Good to see you skate again, man! Great comeback, amazing tricks, best was to see the hapinness in your face to skate again.
Bruh this was actually a little emotional for me, seeing him having genuine fun for which seems like the first time in a while. Not only that, but he is absolutely shredding 🤘reminded me of the younger bam
I'm not a fan, that being said I am really surprised by his skating.
Not gunna last. Pretty sure this footage is a couple months old. Bam needs to save bam. No one else can.
Waaaah I do drugs and push people that made me who I am away waaaahhh drugs
@@cavemanvi Right?!? At the begging he is talking about how he thinks he has a hex on him then lists off avoidable mistakes. He lacks any amount of accountability. It’s like he’s still 20 years old. Don’t drink and drive and don’t let your friends drive your 6 figure cars.
@@beaulandexavier5486 how familiar are you with Bam? I'm not being snarky or calling you out or anything, just genuinely curious given your reaction/opinion
Major props to Thrasher. Perfect time to come through for Bam. Happy to see him resurrecting.
Yeah with the new jackass trailer dropping yesterday it’s good to see him get some shine
Old footage tho
@@russellsarkela2350 it’s not that old... it was filmed this past winter
Fr though
Always comming back to this video. Love seeing him happy skating again.
yesss master back at work so glad too see you skating again 🙏🏻
Andy Roy out here gettttin it dawg!
Nice to see Bam skating and happy
dude almost died like 5 times
YEEE! The smile threw me off a little, I was like 'Where's his voice coming from?" , Good to see him as well! yeah for sure, this was wholesome and IT IS dope to hear someone who's lived on the highest plane still speak about skating in such a grounded way, all the feels.
Dude Andy was hauling ass! And that disaster was crazy lol.
@@farthead2023 who gives a fuck about teeth? Lol wtf.
2 crack heads at it again
Bam: seems like the guy who's beginning to realize that money and fame was never what made him happy... It was skating, having fun with his friends, and just enjoying the moment.
Absolutely, he probably realised that years ago unfortunately addiction carries on taunting him. He just needs good people and constant support.
Bam has always been pretty humble and accessible. He never left his home town, he hung out with the locals and bars. He's not some snobby celeb.
Shredding the GNAR! Feels so good seeing y'all feeling so good! It's a testament to how great life can be when you stay clean!!!
🙏✌️❤️🤙
I am so hype now, so happy to see this. I love it!
Andy Roy is doing some of the gnarliest skating ever seen and he's an ex heroin addict in his mid forties. Impressive.
Late 40s he’s 50 next year!
Good job Not. on already putting somebody down Not.. when you already know what's up , Not... you suck For your comment ,get off.
@@rickyruiz5991 what are you talking?
@@rickyruiz5991 are u on heroin? Haha
He’s still got it. This is what we wanna see.
I've adored Bam for so long, what 25 years now? . Since the CKY days, those video tapes and slam reels, skatin' with all my guy pals in the 90s. Good to see him still on a board. Stay healthy, buddy ♥️
I just got outta rehab, seeing Bam smiling N skating made my day ! Keep it up bruh
Hopefully bam embraces sobriety and gets back to skating. He seems pretty normal here which is awesome!!
@Cale Phillips very cynical
Bro this ain't normal. Just a casual got a dui, got 5150d, went into rehab. Nbd
This is 6 months old unfortunately
At the end where everyone hugs him and says good job for the trick he did. I bet thats what Bam really needed. Some good supportive friends. Glad to see him having fun
Thats just how skaters are
tha k grind was smooth af
That's the essence of skateboarding - at least that's what it used to be. Everyone stoked about everyone else pulling a difficult trick, even in competition.
Chill, its still a Video. Its intend is to make a Comeback for bam. With His cringey Response to the Jackass Cast, he showed how delusional He got through His drug abuse. I Wish him the best. He needs good Friends now. People that Tell him when Hes wrong
@@mindus5760 whoa, playa!
Skaters gon' skate 🤘
In all seriousness though...stfu
Bam is my all time fav! I wish him all the best! Love his fam too! Got so much love for him!
I really wish Bam the best, grew up watching Him and it genuinely makes me happy to see him skating around with the homies.
so agree
'
He's still got that unique style. It's always a pleasure to watch
*Bam, man, alot of people care about how things end up for you. I've been watching you my whole life. And I myself am an addict, so I understand. You look fucking great, don't go backwards buddy. Praying for you.*
Well said dude.
Much love my man!
i hope Bam read these things in here !
Same for you don't go backwards
Facts. Grew up in the same town as you. Looking up to you guys like giants in the 90s. Keep kicking ass Bam 🤘
This video made me feel so happy. I'm glad to see him doing good here. Bam, everyone is rooting for you bro, we just want you to be happy and to be there for your family. Don't give up and don't let the bullshit kick your ass.
Good to see Bam back on board still sending it!
How Andy recovers from those type of slams at his age is fucking epic!! 🤯
Facts
His body is use to it by now he’s got bones of steel
@@procreation100 I've skated since I was 12. I'm 36 now. You only get so use to meeting cement. It always hurts. Even if he plays it off 😂
@@TheRealBeachBum I feel you brother but ARoy is built different kinda like nyjah they just wave off the pain.
He is heshing so hard
The world needs more Andy Roy and Bam. I would kill to see them making regular content together!
Same here. Blogs, podcast, or just a weekly series. They have a lot in common.
ujuuiii
100 percent agree
BAAAAAAAMMMM
Bam, really proud of you man! I went to treatment as well and your story relates to mine so much, keep it up! I'm getting back into skateboarding to after gaining so much weight and on all these pills. This inspires me thanks!
Bam and Chris Cole are the reason I started skateboarding. I had all their videos on VHS and DVD. Watched them religiously. Keep pushin Bam. You got this 💪
I'm impressed Bam, I didn't think I'd ever see him back on it, right on.
too bad this is old footage and after bam got kicked off of jackass for not staying sober
@@wolfdeathseal5624 How old footage ?
Good old me[mories! Nice to see him finally so happy and on the board again
Dont hold your breath this dosnt mean anything at this point in time nice try bam💯🤘 you're a skater so you of all ppl know 🤘when you fall down you get to get back up🤘💯we know your not the sharpest tool in the shed but I do know this🤘💯
@@wolfdeathseal5624 I think he went sober, fell off the wagon, went sober, fell off, went sober, etc, happened a few times since then, this is more recent. Check the date, Thrasher don't play like that.
Dude the lights are in his eyes when he’s skating. Fuck this made me happy yet sad at the same time. Prolly cuz I’ve gone down the wrong path as well and times flying
its never too late my bro.. i'm fighting right there with you and as long as that fires lit inside that's all that we need.
SWED not Meds
@@vernievuitton Right there with you both. Keep it strong
get up dude ;) also got a down phase during corona shit time, ive been not boarding since 13 years now i got power back and skating gives me a living fealing back, greetings from germany ;) !
I just bought a board 2 weeks ago after not stepping a foot on a board since 2014-2015. Also like 50lbs heavier so it's tough. But I still got most of my tricks but damn is it hard on my feet and breathing since I'm a meatball just like bam. Keep it going bro life's to short to live in vain. God bless hope you and your fam prosper
Sick video, thanks for sharing it!
❤️keep watching this over n over
I love seeing Bam skate, I like him when he's skating having fun & not drunk going batshit bonkers
Yeah like getting his ass whooped.
He's Adderall bonkers. I'd know
@@sn1000k better than drunk bonkers lol
This is proof that skateboarding can truly save someone’s life
this is old footage. it hasn’t saved him.
his struggle isnt over man, im sorry. hes doing alright now, but this is like the fifth time bam was 'back'. i just hope he stays back.
Exactly. And to anyone below being negative about Bam, well what the f*** ever..we can only hope he rises above this time.. but in the meantime Andy is a perfect example
@@vanguardcycle only reason I commented is to clear the situation for Chris and not get false hopes up. Trust me I’d love to see Bam on his feet since I was around and grew up the golden age of 2002-2008 watching CKY, Jackass and Viva La Bam. Downloaded them using dc++/RevConnect and then Bittorrent when it got popular…. good times.
I even made subtitles for Jackass 1 in my own language to kids/anyone who didn’t understand English at that point. 😎
Give a person’s mind something to enjoy and it won’t be able to wonder.
This is so amazing to see
Glad to see you pushing thru man. Keep it rolling.
so good
made my day seeing this. Bam's a legend!
So are you
Que Pasa pinche danny
Made me laugh seeing Danny here. 😭
Such a good video seeing bam smile
Love seeing this. Andy Roy sliding around slamming is so funny, dude’s gnarly
Andy Roy is still the craziest 😂
I hope these are genuine smiles coming from Bam. This was great seeing him skate and smile again!
Love it so fire to see bam kick some ass in some skating haven't seen him skate in a min
It’s good to see that bam still has people who care about him
Not like those other dudes.
we all care about him, but he needs to care about himself in order to get better
It's too bad he treats people that care about him like shit
It’s a testament to how good he is at skating that he can do it while so out of shape.
💯
Keep up the good work Bam, love seeing you like this bro. Hero returns
There’s nothing better to see Bam come back from such a low point to laughing and loving life again. Super motivational. Wishing you all the best Bam, keep shredding!
seeing those tricks just reminded me Young Bam and how much i missed him. Glad he's still shredding
I don't miss young Bam at all, dude has needed to grow up for a long time and I'm glad he finally has
@@urmumsbaps I hear you. I just grew up watching Bam skating throughout the Tony Hawk games and the skating has been ingrained in my head. So it's more of a nostalgic feeling.
@@urmumsbaps I don't miss the person he was, but I think we're more talking about missing the skater he was...
@@dubmusik304 thank you!
Honestly, dude, it really brought me right back. He's still got the same style lmao
I can hear "quite bitter beings" in my head while I watch bam skate
YES!!!!
Same.
96?
Thanks for reminding me
We like to stack the bodies high
I needed this more than I thought we will always love Bam
I like seeing you do good BAM. Your one of my inspirations for coming out of my shell when I was younger 😌
Andy Roy is also still killing it, I forgot how sick he actually is.
He goes so hard and just bounces back onto his feet after the hardest slams!
Roy and Cardiel still are the best imo. They just go so hard
Andy looking like Cardiel. 🤘🤘
Andy beat heroin, nothing can kill him
@@jakejonas7366 It's a feat few understand, hes already a legend in my eyes!
After everything hes been through lately this was nice to see.
This is from 2018. Bam in 2021 is at death's door.
siiick man, glad to see you gettin back into it
That was awsome good to see bam back👍😊✌
Bam looks genuinely happy here! Hopefully he can continue his recovery and get back to this, you can see/hear/feel the difference with him and how happy he looks doing this
@@justinthompson9420 he's definitely got to genuinely want the help and actually want to better himself. I truly believe he does want to and wants to get back to this type of feeling/mentality. I hope to see more of this in the near future
Amazing to see how athletic and even elegant he looks on a board despite ageing and being far from his top level physically. His stance just looks graceful.
I think it's fascinating how skaters keep their muscle memory even many years after skating. My coworker who gave up skating for like 10 years busted out a kickflip in like 3 tries on my board lmao
@@GreenMachineOG - This happens to me with downhill mountain biking - I'm 29 and I've gotten quite lazy so I barely cycle if at all unless I'm on some big mountain resort with ski lifts and gondolas. Like 3 weeks ago I went DH MTBing for the 1st time since July 2019... and I swear to God I've never been faster or smoother, I was hitting jumps I used to roll like nothing!
@@GreenMachineOG Some people are just gifted like that, I have a friend who skates maybe once a year but every time he steps on a board it looks like he never ever took a break and still kills it every time.
I mean he did skate for like 25 years before getting fat af
Lol like a gazelle
So happy you are back Bam!!!!
heroes are born, but legends never die! bro, you blew me away!! BAM IS BACK!
Your homie might be dealing with depression he doesn't talk about: Take him Skateboarding 🛹💯✌
thats my way to dealing with it
@@trakilokoo Same
My one friend who I’m 95% sure has depression pretty much refuses to do anything but stay inside all day making music and smoking weed. 9/10 when I ask him to go skate he just says he’s not feeling it. You can lead a horse to water🤷🏼♂️ becoming a recluse is probably the worst thing for depression but hey it’s his life
@@tbvolcomskater I think what people often don't realize is that depressed people aren't thinking "normally", or in their altered mindstate they think their actions are ok. Please don't give up on your friend
@@tbvolcomskater have a friend who went through that this past year from lockdown! Horribly sad to see but i manage to see see him, sadly its only ever for a smoke and he has ditched the skating:(
Knowing some people haven’t given up on Bam is heart warming!! We love you Bam and you do have true friends
I had a video recommend that he's facing prison for beating up an old lady😬
Legendary Bam.. Shout out to Thrasher and families connected.. Madd Respect 🙏🥇
Seeing bam enjoying himself and skating with dope people is awesome. Thrasher is the best for giving him a platform to both speak and skate his heart out. Cheers to that
God i love watching him do blunt slide pyramid shit like he used to, that's signature Bam!!
You know Andy is committed cause he only falls head first.
So dope to see Bam killing it and having a room full of love for him. Dope that Thrasher is supporting this dude! Also those meds will make anybody gain weight, but the amount he said would make you balloon up. I look forward to seeing him thrive again!
Yes, loving seeing bam skate again.. great work my dude.
Andy fucking Roy is an all heart to the core skateboarder, but real talk, seeing bam happy and skating bring me joy
roy looks healthy for the first time in a long time
@@imwithyou38 yeah I definitely agree with you, his teeth look crazy😂
love to see it
Hey wiggy love u and appreciate u 💖💖💖
bam is washed
hey, it’s wiggs
It Ain't Jackass with Bam idgaf
But bam Margera didnt in on jack ass 4 :(
Their friends kick out because Bam still used drugs and alcohol, i dont know
If that true :(
Bless this king right here so happy to see bam rolling on his board be shreading in no time 🙌 🙏 👏
Awesome to see new footage of bam skating 😎😎👌🏿
