Fans have been left overjoyed after seeing a new video of Bam Margera skating "flawlessly" again, following his struggles with substance abuse.
The former Jackass star, 44, has been in the headlines in recent months for being in and out of rehabilitation facilities, but recently revealed he is in a "phenomenal place" after hitting 45 days sober earlier this month,
He opened up about his past struggles with rehab and what changed this time around on the Preston & Steve Show on 93.3 WMMR, explaining: "I bought a one-way ticket to hell and back, and I’ll explain, but I’m phenomenal now.
"I have the Guinness Book of World Records of longest Florida shuffle – fifteen back-to-back rehabs, usually 90 days of peace but sometimes more."
The term 'Florida shuffle' refers to the controversial practice where certain rehab centers continually readmit patients to claim insurance payouts. Such a model inevitably pushes patient welfare to the background, leading to repeated cycles of admissions without lasting success.
He continued: "Luckily, I had phenomenal insurance, and the interventionist knows that if you have insurance, they’ll find every reason to keep you there."
Bam revealed in the interview, which took place on October 5, that he was 45 days sober at the time after completing his latest treatment.
Now, fans have found a video posted at the start of October showing Bam skateboarding just as well as he did in his heyday, and it has left them emotional at how far he has come recently.
The video, posted on YouTube by the Just Shred Crew, shows Bam enjoying time at the skate park with the three brothers from PA who love skateboarding, pulling off tricks without missing a beat.
Fans were loving seeing him doing so well, writing: "Actually amazing that he's still got this down so flawlessly after all the s**t he's been through!"
Others added: "Dear skateboarding: please, save Bams life, as you have before.... sincerely, all of us," and: "It’s so good to see him shredding again, he never lost it, I hope he keeps at it, it’ll literally save his life!"
Another commented: "It's honestly so nice to see Bam skate again!", while someone else added: "So cool to see him shredding again! He looks so stoked to be tearing it up and landing sick tricks. I wish him many more years of happiness!"
Fans also wrote: "It's great to see him in a much better head space and doing good. The guy has been through a lot over the years so this makes me happy to see," and: "You got this bam. Rooting for you."
As well as being overjoyed to see him back on the ramps, fans were mostly over the moon to see the smile lighting up his face as he once again did what he does best.
We wish Bam every continued success for his recovery, and look forward to seeing lots more skating videos to come from the iconic skater.
