Bam 2.0 has been one of the raddest things to watch lately, in my opinion. The guy’s been through hell—years of substance abuse, personal struggles, and time away from skating—but he’s turned it around. Stories like this don’t always get a happy ending, but Bam’s continuing to make sure his does.
He recently returned to The Nine Club to fill us all in with what’s really been going on. Reflecting on the past, and looking ahead with a fresh mind, Bam fills us all in and peppers in some crazy stories for good measure. It’s a great episode. Dive in.
I just have so much respect for this wild man these days. He’s putting in the work, skating harder than he has in years, and actually enjoying life again. It’s sick to see him smiling, laughing, and fully back in the mix.
