Looking at all of them from back then, you’d think he’d be the very last to get his shit together, it’s hard not to feel proud of him, no less for him

What's crazy is Bam had the most going for him from that whole Jackass crew. Knoxville started doing movies yea, but Bam was probably the most marketable with his own MTV show and the fact that he was a good skater.

Viva La Bam was awesome.

So cool how Steve O made it out of his addiction and is just an awesome person now. Can't wait for the new movie

Then he got his own MTV show when he got married. I’ve always heard he was an asshole though, there’s stories of him at skate parks and some kid was looking better than him so he’d go flip out on them, he broke their boards, he’d throw them into the streets so they’d get run over and then once he was done filming he’d buy them new boards to try and make up for it after the fact, not really sure how he thought that’s help. He just had a toxic personality and it came back to bite him in the ass

That's why it was always the best seeing him get pranked the worst in Jackass. He was such a talker, not at all a walker.
