Dead thread, I know. But I searched to see if we had a thread on Bam Margera because frankly the dude has been off the rails now for a good while and has been embarrassing himself on social media. A few highlights of the last year or so:
-Novak got clean, and he was the dude who nobody thought would ever get clean. Bam claims in the past that he spent personally over 150K to send him to rehab and now that he's clean he refuses to hang out with him because duh, Bam's lifestyle is toxic as fuck to someone like Novak who had severe drug addiction issues. Bam used to write out theses crazy terrorist-style notebook rants and artwork and post them on IG dogging on Novak for being able to turn his sobriety into a career to help people like him, like
this,
this,
this,
this,
this,
this,
this, and
this. And like this isn't even close to all of them. The dude is now a bitter old washed up drunk who drank his life away until he realized the loser friends he used to excuse his own shit behavior are now clean and he thinks making fun of people for getting clean is funny I guess.
-Sometime in December 2018 Bam decided to throw a huge party/concert at his house in the middle of a weekday without getting permits, asking the city for permission, etc and it turned into a
shitshow that more resembled the Gathering of the Juggalos than anything related to skateboarding. There's a long forum thread on a skateboarding forum
here that covers the sadness/hilariousness of it all among other trainwrecks in his life that were around the same time. After he threw this huge party and found out there were consequences with the city he lost his shit. Apparently a neighbor's
cow died because emergency services could not get through the clusterfuck that was the logistical parking nightmare caused by Bam throwing a party without any planning.
He additionally had his neighbors on his IG posts begging him to be mindful of the fact they couldn't even reach their homes but they fell on deaf ears. Predictably, the city passed legislation to ensure that Bam or anyone else couldn't do this again, and Bam predictably got upset and
ranted on IG again how it should be 'illigal' for cities to make up laws and then pass them and insinuated that it was communism and then went on to blame his mom and the city for being a drunk faggot. Additionally just to put the final nail in Bam's coffin they made it illegal for him to film any of his shit on his property. He responded like a true edgelord by
calling his mom a pussy and filming skate footage in his driveway even though the law probably had nothing to do with him filming footage on his own.
-Bam doubled down and
planned on having another party despite the new law and cried on instagram because
the city had a fox hunt and he used the opportunity to beg for donations to pay for his new ramps.
-Bam’s latest marriage is a train wreck, to nobody’s surprise. In an IG post he admitted that the only way he can contact her is by Instagram because she blocked his number and then he goes on a boohoo rant about how his wife deserted him with no money or credit cards and then ended up deleting the post when people pointed out that
you could see a fucking credit card in front of him in the reflection of his sunglasses. He’s also
bragged about the fact that he always planned on leaving his wife on his son’s birthday although I believe they reconciled. Article about marriage drama
here.
-Even after all that shit talking he did about Novak, Novak staged an intervention for Bam at the beginning of 2019
and convinced him to go to rehab.
Here is a thread from the same skateboarding forum going over their relationship.
-Speaking of rehab,
Bam only lasted ten days and then his family forced him to go back
less than three months later after he publicly embarrassed himself online over and over for the umpteenth time this year. Surprisingly it didn’t last and there’s now
rumors he’s headed back soon.
I thought I’d post something here because Bam right now is basically the current lolcow of the skate industry.
