Bam Margera, the skateboarding celebrity, recently had an interview with Madars Apse on Redbull TV, and gave out the gate code to his brand new private indoor skateboarding barn on an Instagram post, and asked skaters to join him and the crew in the barn for some mad skateboarding. More than 100 people showed up.
Brandon Cole “Bam” Margera, is an American professional skateboarder and also a television personality who rose to fame in the early 2000s as one of the stars on MTV’s reality stunt show “Jackass”. He has also appeared on “CKY” and MTV’s “Viva La Bam”.
Recently, Bam appeared in an interview with Madars Apse on the new skateboarding series “Skate Tales”, where Madars along with Ethan and David Loy, took a trip to Pennsylvania to meet up with Bam Margera and check out his new indoor skating barn and ramp.
The interview starts with an adorable shot of Bam’s 2-year-old son – Pheonix Wolf – who’s attempting to skateboard and show his skills, and who according to Bam himself “can’t get off the skateboard, whether it’s a skate deck or a skateboard in the park or the living room, he’s always on that thing.”
The interview goes on with him talking about his life and success but mentions that he can’t show any tricks or stunts for the series because he has recently pulled a muscle in his calf, after skating for a ridiculous amount of time following his hiatus in skateboarding.
Over the years, Bam has been involved in various dramas – including going in and out of rehab several times for his alcoholism and health issues – and recently took a break from skateboarding. He has now gotten into shape and is back to skateboarding like the old days.
When asked what skateboarding meant to him, he said “ Skateboarding is everything to me cause it got me where I am today. When I stopped skateboarding, I became a raging alcoholic … I’d rather skate because if I don’t skate, ill die.”
Later in the interview, it was revealed that Bam had given out the gate code to his brand new private indoor skate barn on Instagram and had asked skaters in the Philadelphia area to join him and the Redbull crew to skate, because he “would rather skate with a bunch of people than by himself.”
More than 100 people showed up to the skating barn and showed mad tricks and stunts and had fun with Bam and the crew, while a band was playing in the background.
