More like Banned Margera

---

Holy shit. Time has not been kind to him.

---

He looks so much like his dad now

---

I mean they literally told him to follow their rules so he'd stay safe and sober and he didn't

Yeah. Hea the victim of mental illness, but not of them.

Yikes. He looks rough.

---

What happened to him ? He looks like hes pushing 60.

That's just sad.

Spends the first half of the video whining that rehab and check ins from the studio is too hard and unfair. He whines until he literally makes himself vomit because he's clearly got a shitload of issues and can't handle being in a movie anymore.

---

Sounds like they care about him more than he cares about himself.

Just sad, guys gonna drink himself to death unless he stops and this has been going for so long that doesn't seem likely

Been like this at least since Dunn died ten years ago.

drugs will do that to you

The saddest part about that video is that it's 2021 and he's wearing a Burzum shirt.

I bet he got it from Hot Topic too.
---

Oh god he has a three year old son? The guy needs to get his act together for his sake if he actually wants to be a positive presence (or at this rate any presence at all) in his life.

---

Really though who wants to see a bunch of dudes in their 40s doing Jackass stunts?

---

so fucking sad

i want to say i hope he gets help but i imagine people in his life have tried

---

he;s always had problems
even in viva la bam april would comment on his drug use in the house

Yeah honestly with how these guys lived their lives this isn't exactly the most surprising development. Dunn himself died from drink driving. I think Bam would probably still be like this even if Dunn didn't die. People who have hit rock bottom like this will find anything to blame to justify staying there if they aren't willing to make the effort to get themselves out. Dunn's death just added to the wreckage that was already there. It's already sort of obvious that he's going to be blaming the movie now. Bam needs to make the effort himself to be sober and turn his life back on track. Sadly it doesn't look like he's really going to do that anytime soon.

This. 100%

---

Pretty much most of them had alcohol or drug problems
I think the only one that didn't was dicamillo and that was probably because his parents had a pretty controlling parental method
Everyone else had drug/alcohol problems from their CKY days

Pretty much all of the Jackass guys are doing great now except Bam. Steve-O is over 10 years sober and looks awesome. Bam just wont quit and now his friends are sick of his shit. Hes a fucking man baby.

Oh yeah to be clear I'm not saying that they are all trainwrecks now. Just that the way they lived their life being famous living recklessly it isn't surprising that a lot of them ended up having addiction issues. The rest generally seem fine nowadays and have grown past their dark days (which is why this movie seems to finally be happening). Bam just still doesn't seem to have and honestly a lot of groups like this tend to have that guy who just hasn't really turned their life around.

$1,000 a day rehab and this is the result?
:/

Jeez that's hard to watch

---

UR the thing about addicts is they have to want to change
it's no different to the obese people shows who sneak in food and pay expensive doctors and dieticians

Yeah that's pretty ridiculous. Those rehab people must be making billions off of peoples addictions.

Doesn't really matter if it's a cheap or expensive clinic. They can only help people who want to be helped.

I have a family member with addiction and mental issues and it's always the same thing. Her Dad pays for her to be in a new clinic. This one seems good. She starts to turn her life around and then suddenly she gets kicked out or leaves, spirals out of control and the cycle repeats again. Most people in her life have basically ditched her by now after trying to help her because if you get too involved you will end up being blamed.

So is this the same video that was posted a week ago?

This. You can tell that Steve-O, for example, wanted to make that change and get clean.

Damn that's really sad.

I hope he eventually decides to recover sooner rather then later. Hes far to old for this sorta crap, and should have gotten his act together much earlier in life.

Never cared for him

honestly a lot of groups like this tend to have that guy who just hasn't really turned their life around.

The truth is drug addiction differs from person to person. So does the difficulty scale. And it's insanely unfair.

Some will never get addicted. A few will quit cold Turkey. They just stop. Willpower alone will do it. Physical symptoms still hit them, but then that's it.

Others will need rehab and programs and help. Maybe even fall off the wagon once or twice. But, they'll get there. It'll be a continuous struggle, but it's manageable.

And still, others will require a herculean effort to get clean. They'll be able to, it just takes a lot of work and constant effort. These people tend to be ones with other mental/ emotional issues and when everything is going ok, they can stay sober. But when life throws that punch, things spiral quickly and a years amount of work is thrown away in a half hour.

Then of course, there's those who stay in the blame phase and don't work at it. Unfortunately, it's at times hard to tell whos in this group and whos really trying but failing.

So when you have a group of people who abuse drugs, odds are you'll get a mixed bag. And odds are there will at least be one who doesn't really ever get out of it.

Said this in the other topic but the worst thing about this is his parents won't be in the movie

You know, I don't really have issue with people who like to listen to Burzum. If you enjoy the music, that's kewl, dawg.

Wearing merchandize to tell the world you support a literal white supremacist murderer is a fucking choice.
---

Bump

---

Seen him on Dr Phil. Dude is a complete wreck and refuses to get help not for his wife or kids. Dude lost it all.

---

Holy fuck dude's a week older than me and looks like THAT?

I don't feel so bad about my own looks right now, that's for sure.

---

I never liked Bam, but I just feel sorry for him now. Holy hel.

Bam talking to Tony Hawk.

---

I remember meeting Bam and Rick Kosik at a skate Demo back in '04.

This was a rough watch but he's doing better than alot of former pro skaters if we're being real.

---

I wonder if the user Snowcat still comes here. I remember she had a thing for Bam like 10 or 15 years ago.

---

This Bam Margera or Tom Waits
