Sadly, a relapse for Bam was pretty obvious to anybody who watched that Epicly Later'd.
Dill back on hard drugs is next.

Total bummer. I really hope for the best for anybody getting sober, but if you have an addiction problem and you still hang with people using, and/or think you can just tough it out on your own without help, and/or you are 'just smoking weed now' or any of that you are gonna relapse for sure.

Hope Bam can get back on track. His comeback was one of the better stories of 2017.
Warm Up Zone. Let's watch some skateboarding videos.

Bam’s comeback just felt like an orchestrated cash grab by element, especially after their re release of like what...20 Bam decks or something within a week?

I hope i'm wrong, but if he's still got people take him to rehab & voluntarily stop with him to take smiley pictures outside of it, it's probably not his last visit.
He's got a lot to learn about solitude and not depending on others, I don't think he's strong enough to stand on his own 2. If you are fat too, it means you lack the most basic of disciplines. This is precisely why someone like Kurt Cobain killed themselves, I can totally see why it makes sense.

Now, we used to say we put on our tights to put on the world. So I don't think it tarnishes the image at all.

I don't see him getting full sober, but he's got a kid now, but that might a made him more nervous about life. Plus with the holidays I coulda seent it coming. I think this visit is more of a save face for the court and public thing though. seems like he's a solo drinker so its gonna be tough to fully stop if that's the case. Its easier to get sober with a bud.

It's sad and I hope BAM can get sober. In his Epicly Later'd they talked about what he was doing to get sober and it didn't yet include AA or professional help. This might be the wake up call to seek that kind of guidance. Best of luck Bam, respect.

Didn't someone imply that he wasn't doing it the right way.

I hope for Bam he gets the help he needs, and glad he didn't hurt anyone while he was behind the wheel.

If I remember right that Brandon Novak guy said something about him wanting to be sober for skateboarding and not for himself yet and that that wasn't a sustainable way to do it, or something like that.

I and some other addicts saw no value in own lives, so we had to do it for other people. I did it for my family, my friend did it for his kid.

From the beginning, any motivation is fine. After a while you start doing it for your self. I remember when my mom and dad would get all suspicious when they heard my voice over the phone. I just had a cold but they thought it was dope. I got kind of upset, but understood where they came from. Still I thought " Hey, I want to be sober, regardless".

Props to you, your friends, and Novak who have got out of the woods! Bam's EL, NineClub just screamed "honeymoon period" and even though people have been making $$ off recovery stories for a minute, skateboarding's profiteers fucked up over making some money off this.

It reminds me of a lot of people who enter recovery and get to step 4 and they wanna run to everyone immediately and make amends, then a lil time goes by, not even a year later, they're bored and back to using, and then the insanity cycle repeats: those same people have to hear an apology for an apology. 

If you got a Bam-style problem with alcohol, whatever: you need to remove yourself from that setting. Especially people who know/enable you. If I was him, and survival was really important, I'd do that young Bruce Wayne shit: divorce that enabling wife of his, move to fuckin Cambodia with nothing in my pockets, and get a measly existence at a job that's physically exhausting, skating only at shitty parks, once the weight drops off. It takes 7 years to completely change cell structure, about that time, his son will be ready to be with him, the real him. He could silently come back to PA, scoop up his son, and journey into the sunset, un-celebrated but totally intact and healthy.

I was in rehab with a guy who played in a band called...3rd Strike, I think? His label paid for his place in rehab. In fact, the music industry has all kinds of funds and stuff in place for helping out musicians because they're so prone to turning into big messes.

I wonder if there are similar things in place with skate companies, particularly those with money behind them like Element.

Frog Skateboards, too. I could see Frog having a huge drug rehab fund going on.

He wasn't going to start drinking again, just a bad night. He has to get in rehab only for the dui and stupid ass social media. Everybody starts to sound like tmz reporters nowadays.

I mean he has been drinking. I'm pretty sure when the skate shops around here premiered his epicly laterd he was drinking then. I know for a fact whenever Jamie Thomas did like an east coast tour with the zero team and went to Bams house that Bam was drinking and this was maybe a little before his epicly laterd aired. Saw it on Dane's instagram story. Sad part was that people seemed to egg him on to drink and I would have thought at least Jamie would tell him its not a good idea.

He's a rockstar. People want to see fuck up Bam. His friends suck

While I also do work within the Three Mile Zone, the OP is a link to a TMZ report, and I'm butthurt.

As a dude who's spent time in rehab, as a dude who believed in Bam more than I should have. My old social circle/I did exactly what i'm talking about. I haven't spoke to friends or family since 2007 and I'm alive and well because of it. Cambodia probably wouldn't be a good move for anyone. I speak from experience when I say life gets boring and mistakes can be made, and once your word is garbage, what good is your presence?

I do wonder how many chances Bam will continue to get, from karma, God(s), da Police, whatever.
But know this: whoever gives him a fifth on Insta is the enemy, for lack of a better word.

Yes. In music it's something through the org that runs the Grammys.  I was in rehab with two dudes from different bands who were getting it paid for by this group.  Pretty solid effort.  Both bands had stuff out and played shows, but they weren't U2 or Coldplay or something. 

I doubt many skate brands have the money/are down for their riders enough to do this.  Maybe Element, Crail (not that they seem flush with cash, but they seem down for the team), Baker, some shoe companies...  I could see a lot of companies just dropping someone if their use became too much of a liability.

Little off topic, Andy is The Godfather? When Bam (hopefully never) dies from alcohol his kid is going to a dude who's not even allowed to see his own kid?

Never even seen them together in any capacity. Was Andy in any Jackass? I found it weird they're that close. I wouldn't have thought Bam and Andy were such homies.

Agreed the picture is fucking wack.. They feel so good being pictured "taking Bam to rehab"
