No, that's the "I'm out of money but I'm desperate for attention" kind of show.

That dude is crying for help.  Really hard to watch; his ma obviously loves him. 

He lost his best friend and then lost even more control...actually hope the guy gets over it.

I grew up on the cky, bam skating stuff before jackass. Bam is insane. He's full throttle everything. I know people who know him and his family. He's fuged up, more so after Ryan Dunns death. Those two were like platonic soul mates for lack of a better term. Kind of like when an identical twin loses his/her other.

if he really wants help, he should obviously not have hollywoodized this experience. This is for profit and jeopardizes his recovery. His momma should've known better. fuging terrible.

here's a little bit of history.

 

johnny Knoxville met these guys and turned it into jackass.

How do you go from living in a mobile home to driving Ferraris and Lamborghinis, and then back?

When watching this, I was like wow, but then I remember all the insane poo I've seen this guy do. He's just not in his twenties anymore.

I hope he can get sober, but it seems like alcohol is only part of his problem. More cameras are probably not going to help.

[Mr. Scot]

If you're seriously trying to rebuild your life, I'm not sure putting it all on camera is a wise decision.

Bam Margera has always been a sad mess.

The problem with Bam is that he's been around a camera his entire life.  I mean hell, the only time I've ever seen Bam and the Jackass crew shut them off was when they had an intervention with Steve-O.  I personally think it will take the rest of his CKY/Jackass friends to help him, not this show.  They may be crazy, but their bond is unbelievable.  If they can get Steve-O sober (who also documented his addiction), then you can work with Bam as well.

wasn't bam only 19 or so when the first cky video came out?  he was really, really young for how huge all of that got.

i think i read an interview with either him or chris raab a few years back where they talked pretty candidly about the effect johnny knoxville had on them.  it might have been in the wake of ryan dunn's death.  whoever it was (i'm leaning bam) sounded kind of bitter about how the "hollywood" aspect that he brought into it changed a lot of things.

They were all very young. I think Raab himself was 16 when the first one was released. I've heard that most of them do not like Johnny Knoxville but he made them all millionaires. Bam was pretty use to fame from his skating stuff to a certain extent and Jesse is the drummer of cky and the supergroup the Company Band with the lead singer of Clutch.

my uncles best friend is from west chester pa. The margera kids and friends are like the whites of West Virginia. Hellions.

i played ball up in Virginia with a guy who is from that town and knew bam and some of the friends. Huge Coke heads. Which makes sense considering the balls it takes to do some of that poo. When you live that kind of lifestyle and you get paid massively for it, it becomes accepted in your mind, you're being rewarded. You get older and it's just not sustainable. Dunn dying on top of all that and you get this mess.
