Bam Margera is receiving a flood of praise after hitting a significant milestone on his journey to recovery - celebrating one month of sobriety.
Notably, the former Jackass star is also rediscovering his love for skateboarding, his long-lost passion that catapulted him to fame.
According to sources close to Bam, who shared insights with TMZ, the-43-year-old has been residing on a farm near Philadelphia owned by a fellow professional skateboarder. Watch Bam show off that he's still got it below:
Alongside his girlfriend, Dannii, Margera is embracing a healthy lifestyle, engaging in daily gym sessions and hikes with their dogs. This wellness regime has not only resulted in considerable weight loss but also revitalized his skating prowess, making it appear effortless once again.
Margera's sobriety comes as a beacon of hope, especially when the skateboarder seems to prioritize his well-being over addiction, influenced by the ultimatum presented by Dannii. "He picked her over the booze," states the source, emphasizing the positive circle of friends and influences that surround him. Sources also noted that this is the first instance Margera is choosing sobriety for himself, as opposed to being compelled by interventions from family or friends.
After TMZ shared the news on Facebook, the post was flooded with messages of support for Bam, with one person writing: "That's awesome!! Prayers for continued success!!"
A second added: "I hope he continues! Good luck Bam! You can do it!!"
"Congratulations! Rooting for your success Bam," wrote a third, with a fourth Facebook user adding: "That is beyond awesome! I was kinda emotional watching the video. He was so close to never coming back and now, just look at the smile on that face!"
The skateboarding icon is concurrently embroiled in a legal dispute with estranged wife, Nikki, over the custody of their five-year-old son, Phoenix. He has even shared concerning messages on social media alleging that Nikki had been preventing Bam from seeing his son.
Following occurrences of public intoxication, and an instance of being put on a 5150 hold by police, Nikki was accorded temporary sole custody last month. However, Margera remains connected with Phoenix through FaceTime, maintaining communication four times a week.
TMZ also reports that Bam's brother, Jess, disclosed an incident involving the destruction of a guitar they received from Billy Idol. However, in a recent encounter in Philadelphia, Idol graciously signed a new guitar for Margera.
