Bam Margera is more than two years sober, and he says skateboarding is what keeps him there.
The Jackass and Viva La Bam star told Rolling Stone he went through 13 different treatment centers, 90 days apiece, back to back. He was cut from Jackass Forever in 2022, and he has pointed to a December 2022 health scare, when he was battling seizures, COVID and pneumonia, as the moment he knew things had to change.
These days he credits his wife and his board. "Skateboarding is my therapy, my sanity, my medication," he told Rolling Stone. He told Fox News Digital that as long as he lands a trick a day, it keeps his "sanity sane."
He's learning new tricks in his 40s and filming a documentary series for Red Bull's Skate Tales.
