Classics: Bam Margera's "Jump Off A Building" Part

[@matthewjames206]

Sometimes it's easy to forget how sick Bam's skating was. A classic part indeed.

[@DZaneSilvers]

True as fuck, but the you're like "why was he famous in the first place.... oh wait he actually was tech and skated big back in the day..."

[@davidbass3178]

@@DZaneSilvers he kinda sucked

[@flyingjlotlizard9993]

@@davidbass3178 bam wasn't super technical but he didnt suck lol come on man dont be a hater

[@davidbass3178]

@@flyingjlotlizard9993 ok he sucked 75% of the time he was pro. He had some good parts.

[@jeffking5536]

he's was pretty good.

[@MrLurkin4life]

This part rules, and this whole video is so damn good. I used to watch it everyday when I'd get home from school on a burnt VHS tape. Videos now lack that feeling of having fun with your friends. Everything seems so rehearsed and not authentic or something. I dont know maybe its just the nostalgia talking. But this video is magic.

[@gilensoto3022]

watch sure by john wilson

[@JanoyCresva]

+Recipe For Hate Why? That video has nothing to do with what he is talking about.

[@gilensoto3022]

F Scarecro its a really good video that's why, quartersnacks crew seems that they're always having fun at skating

[@YouTube_gets_dumber_each_year]

[@ThatGuyMayaseth]

+MrLurkin4life Dude look up shep dawgs if you don't already know them. Good skating and having fun

[@freshANDhesh]

I used to idolize this guy because of this video.. I wish he stuck to skateboarding.

[@propdouchebag]

heroin is waaaaaaay cooler

[@WinedandDined27]

+grhmcchrn bam didn't get into that, did he ?

[@nickmccack]

+grhmcchrn what if he left element for Heroin

[@GrowingDownUnder]

+Christopher Ray lol did you see that game show he had it lasted a few episodes before it got cancelled

[@jjgg81687]

+Christopher Ray he way way better off doing jackass. i dont seem bam making money in skating in the last 10 years if he had stuck to that.

[@KevAlberta]

Woah when he jumps off the second floor of that mall into the river that's in west Edmonton mall Alberta !!! I live in Edmonton and alway thought about jumping in. Never knew he did it though.

[@birdman4birdlegs]

+MountKeverest part of me wants to go there tomorrow and look at it. I've never noticed it before haha

[@5teeleDuke]

+MountKeverest dare ya to do a ganor over it

[@pjdudomine4744]

I am 15 years old and I have never seen bam skate. I knew he was pro but didn’t think he was that good. I’m amazed by how good he was. Good style and great tricks.

[@hi_is_this_clorox_bleach]

yes sir

[@wotceseriescollector]

this is one of many videos! bam is amazing at skaing :)

[@Steezo_Romero]

Such a sick part growing up. Always be a classic!

[@willykane]

U can't live this much, in that amount of time, without time takin it back

[@switchcrook]

Bam Margera skating love park before they fucked it up, doesn't get more classic than that

[@Springtrap_springlock]

back when he rode for toy machine, the good ol days

[@J.Street.48]

This was alien worskshop days

[@invertedcrown]

@@J.Street.48 ?? this is a toy machine vid and he never rode for aws,,,,

[@J.Street.48]

@@invertedcrown i commented on the wrong video 😂 i was on a jason dill video

[@nvm9040]

Bam’s toy machine career is overshadowed by his legacy with element

[@anibalabad3869]

That's crazy, you didn't really see much of bams old skate footy in his CKY videos. Bam is definitely one of my favorite skaters

[@sloedwn7509]

This part ruled my whole entire life. Then I remember buying cky landspeed like right after it came out after JOAB and that was it. My favorite skater for a long time in those days.

[@jamie_deakin]

strange to watch bam skate with no cky or him playing over it lol

[@saskatechewan7568]

+Jamie Deakin nailed it

[@themeaningsoflivesasacat]

+Jamie Deakin Don't forget turbonegro haha

[@808crypt]

TheMeaningsOfLives AsACat Yes whats the Deal with him and turbonegro?

[@nathanmayes1825]

what a beast met him at desert skate ranch hope hes doing well and healing up! dude is the reason i skate been skating 16 years .

[@DiamorphineDeath]

Remember watching this as a kid, goes right into the Elisa steamer part after, which was just as rad. I need to dig up this video

[@josh_h812]

BAM always had the smoothest looking kickflips

[@PulaskiSkater71]

Bam has the sickest variel heel flips

[@kevinbellock6825]

I live in Encinitas and drive past that spot all the time. I trip out every time I see it about how gnarly that is, so giant in person.

[@FeetCompany-ex6uc]

Bam inspired me to start skateboarding. Now I'm in really good shape. Thanks for entertaining and inspiring us Bam 😊

[@andyfulcher4132]

idk if anyone's actually seen that encinitas drop in person but I live in SD and have always wondered if someone's dropped in on it and I guess the answers yes the video doesn't do it justice though it must be at like a 50% pitch

[@VLSkate]

someone ollies into it in some old zero video too, crazy

[@stevenbonilla2730]

Hell yeah that thing is massive. Such a gnarly drop in

[@andyfulcher4132]

What zero video missled youth or dying to live ?

[@VLSkate]

Andy Fulcher i found it, it's Aaron Harrison in Thrill of it All. a few clips in he does a little line in the parking lot above and then ollies from the lot into the huge bank

[@BierBrille]

+VLSkate Back when skate videos often didn't purchase/get rights to the songs, and almost all sections arbitrarily cut off the song in the middle, because that's where the rider's skating ends. Of course, not all videos were like this, but even Welcome to Hell is guilty of that in a few sections....

[@billcahm]

wow he shouldve never quit dude was pretty good

[@lukasberg7155]

Skateboarding in its purest form. It's not all tricks. A lot of it is goofing off with the homies. Love Bam forever. Fuck the haters.

[@switchbackheel3504]

skating was gnar, but really goes to show how much it has evolved from basic tricks.

[@peteraborgerding7431]

The good old days. Makes me so nostalgic. Just little things like seeing him rock an old Toy Machine deck and things like that. Now skateboarding is all about promoting Nike and Mountain Dew etc.

[@user-pk9dx9np1x]

Bam rode for Nike around this time

[@devon_lol]

how old was bam in this footage 18? 20? so epic

[@vibes24osrs]

Bam is forever the fkn man

[@therealdaverice]

what makes this video classic is that Jethro Tull was used for the background music. Nice play.

[@georgepoulos]

Viva la Bam was my shit

[@nehemiahzo_]

GEORGE

[@Qwerty-fy6fx]

Your vlogs fucking suck

[@Anonymous_________]

He was such a good dude. Now I'm looking at 8 years clean. Stevo O has 12 and this guy can't go one day. Sad really.

[@wotceseriescollector]

Bam skating makes me happy

[@Lordylbc]

B.Dicamillio should of been rich & famous .

[@sluohg5501]

+Riley Ulrich He chose not to thought. Throughout the first jackass he said he didn't like it because of its 'Hollywood' feel. There's also an interview filmed at his house, I think, where he says he doesn't like leaving home (Westchester). Easily homesick. He's the most underrated and talented guy from the cky/jackass crew. Cattlebag is fucking hilarious and seeing his homemade style skits inspire me and my friends to do the same.

[@cmonbruh7139]

+sluohg ya and bam said he wasn't gonna use his funniness for Jeff tremaine to move up in a mansion and bam said he's gonna anyways but dicamillo still didn't want to work with him

[@sluohg5501]

F3ARN0NE187 Glad it worked out the way it did. There's people in the music/movie business that aren't making their craft anymore because people used them for money within the business. Making them feel sour about the idea of music/movies as a whole. I wouldve hated for Dico to have his passion ruined in Hollywood.

[@jjmm4965]

he is

[@tommm.1538]

He was on mtv with bam for years..

[@SomaSkateArte]

Does anyone know how to find anything about those first Nikes? I think Bam used to wear a Jaya Bonderov model all the time, but I’m not sure about it.

[@YZ_Will]

Anyone remember how cool the actual vhs tape looked for this video?

[@ink_well1647]

yep still have my copy.

[@Hachiae]

"what are you doing?!" *gets pie thrown in face* *gets slapped* "uggghhh"

[@richjones6232]

2:30 is the visitor's center in Valley Forge, PA - it's a ridiculously steep drop and the angle doesn't do it justice.

[@pvpsurvival]

Thanks Thrasher, and WTF Bam pick up a skateboard.

[@pinballwizard01]

Shout out to those who know that’s Jethro Tull’s music 🤘🏼

[@jbean9021]

Damn. And B turner just did that ender switch. Over two decades later.

[@kaylebwj]

damn fucking switch ollie over the angled woods rail so fucking sick didnt even know he did that

[@502jackal]

'i feel like if you youtube it, it'll be bam actually jumping off a building' yeah. i could see that. hell, im surprised he hasn't already for real

[@TommyC_FPV]

I use to have that toy machine monster deck. We all dreamt of having that DV cam with fisheye lense.

[@VENTURA805WesG]

Damn its been wahile . but it never gets old

[@AceChosenOne]

I miss when Bam actually skated

[@eleanorfleming8137]

he's taken it up again. a little slower, a bit tubby..er but I hope he tweaks the beef from now on.

[@winwin-yl7ij]

Who knew one day you'd piss away your incredible talent for quick money, fame, and eventually drugs. You were and still are a hero to me. Keep up the sobriety and let's see a clean Bam!

[@Jonnyhprips]

Lol don’t get cocky. I could happen to anyone

[@ADucksOpinion]

when i liked bam.. Before he made millions, stopped skating and got into drugs..

[@jackiecleaning8655]

because of injuies he had to stop & drugs everyone has become a addict. You recover. You are young lad.

My friend used to collect those mail-in survey/warranty cards from Element skateboards and in the comments he wrote "put Bam back on Toy Machine, assholes"

[@theman211294]

I heard he's been sober for a few months now which is good to hear because I think Ryan dunn's death really hurt him. Maybe we'll see another movie or part from him soon.

what is this from?

[@endlessweekend5041]

Mike Maldonado has an epic part in this video

[@d35trvct08]

Honestly Bams decision to focus on his MTV career over skating was smart. Why risk a career ending injury and work a hundred times harder for way less money? Biggest lesson you learn as an adult, life is all about money.

[@wieran666]

i dont think money served him that well tbh, enabled his issues if anything

[@wotceseriescollector]

more money more problems. life was more simple when bam skated

[@Holiday_Ringo]

Awesome
