Ever since we broke the news (yeah, we’re bragging) that Bam had retreated to Spain to get clean and was out skating and filming again, we’ve been impatiently drawing heartagrams in our notebooks and hoping for some more footage to surface.
Then, last week out of nowhere, Bam surprised us all with a 10 minute long self-released edit featuring him and his friends skating all throughout Europe. We were hyped to see his sober work come to fruition, but, honestly, the edit was as big and bloated as Phil after 6 meatball sandwiches.
Like any Bam fan, we really just wanted to see Bam’s skating, start to finish, with no filler, weird color filters or random skaters in between. So we stripped the edit down to the bare essentials of Bam’s bangers, and stitched ’em together to the classic Rocky training track as a nod to his comeback and Philly roots. Yup, the king has returned to his throne. Welcome back Bam!

Getting clean is hard because it isn’t only about not getting chemically wrecked. A bunch of other stuff comes out over time. That said, man skateboarding helps so much. There are a million reasons for this (maybe I will write about it someday); I am stoked to see Bam doing this and being fucking legit about it, for me that is the big part, he is being honest. And shredding the hell out of Spain.
