Interview with Bucky Lasek

[@bschmid100]

Because of Brandon's story, I went to my family and support group and admitted my opioid addiction problem. Brandon, your a force man and thank you

[@RIPdBOON]

Hope you're doing alright, dude.

[@TheSoloAsylum]

I feel a sober Brandon can do whatever he wants. This new found life is wide open for you to enjoy....

[@infowazz]

much more power when you're sober for sure. the drug/drunk cycle is addictive but once u see the trap u can break the cycle.

[@heyzoos-cgr9369]

Your the best Novak! Really good to see you well with your hero Bucky! Been clean for 18 months myself now.

[@darthnegan1459]

Good shit, Novak! Good to see you sober and reconnecting with Buck. From one Ex-junkie to another, Im proud of ya.

[@cruiserscreek]

Stick with this man. All the best from Manchester, U.K.

[@johnnyt6623]

[@Kinespojken]

[@gypsykatcher30]

Looking good Brandon. Congratulations.

[@chrisp2639]

Looking a lot better Novak, mad respect. #Outspeak

[@AloeHahh]

When Bucky talks about not going down the wrong path, at 9:55 when Brandon breaks eye contact and stares off for a while you can tell he's thinking about himself and thinking "Man, that's exactly what I wish I had never done..."

[@purepk3rz4]

Great video Novak,, 2 of my life idols. Big love and respect

[@JayDizz92]

really enjoyed that Brandon i've been watching and following you and Bam since the beggining, it's been great to see your brand new lease on life, this interview was so nice to watch you could really see the sincerity behind what you two had to say to eachother. Bucky really is your role model and idol you could tell just by the way you clung onto every word. Bucky Lasek is also my favourite skater and a massive influence in my life i always picked him over Tony Hawk on the first pro skater game so i loved hearing about how you too grew up together and all the hijinx, you say you're not a great interviewer but that was easily one of the best interviews with Bucky because you two are such good friends everything was just so truthful which is hard to find in interviews. Looking forward to more video and keep up the great work its so nice to see how far you've come :)

[@jameywingler3460]

as a guy that his self battles addiction.im so proud of Brandon and i now have 2 years clean and sober .as long as you are breathing ther is hope

[@bleh108]

yo novak im from st louis, 25, and grew up watching you guys on jackass and all that. i too am a recovering addict, i first stumbled upon your book in the workhouse in stl, and loved the book. ive watched your journey and you really inspired me to get clean, just wanted to say keep it up brother, and i'd like to meet you one day, youre one of My idols -geoff

[@bleh108]

role model*

[@IdunGOOFEd]

You got a video of that old dude playing guitar at the gravois Steak 'n Shake haha

[@jasonyoung3070]

Great interview so happy to see you clean & sober

[@likewise4gaming]

Brandon I just wanted to say that I think it's really cool that you cleaned yourself up and that your experience life the way it was meant to be experienced! As someone who has struggled with drug addiction for half my life I really find your story refreshing! I have been clean now from all drugs including marijuana for close to a decade! However I still like my beers but that's about it!

[@ShootaMcG]

Bucky seems like a genuine dude

[@TRedo011]

This is an amazing interview. Novak, keep going.you're an inspiration to anyone that grew up watching the videos you were in and may be a little lost on their life path. Wasn't expecting much, had me from the first qyesrion

[@neilgarvey2201]

It's literally like looking at a different person after watching Novak on The Howard Stern Show where he was just off his rocker albeit quite funny. More power to you Brandon hope the sobriety become a friendly bedfellow for you mate.

[@MoreBo0st]

The places in Baltimore they are talking about are literally 10 mins away from my house. Crazy.. really bad areas.

[@alientwins2889]

Stay together man, you 2 do so good to eachother❤

[@leannestewart161]

Good to see you sober Novak . Remember to watch who you surround your self with

[@qrueLfish]

Great seeing you getting better

[@ROKSTAR830]

you would imagine that novak by now would it be a millionaire just like Bam and tony hawk and so many if he wasn't on drugs, it so good to see you sober buddy stay strong i know for experience that addiction is a disease it takes heart and courage and mind to stay sober.

[@brodydon3]

Damn Brandon your really doing a fukking awesome job......stay clean bud you r a way better person sober!!

[@topcat-cv8wg]

b You are my inspiration keep going love it.

[@punaforager]

I was born in Baltimore, but was mostly raised in Virginia after 5 years old... my father stayed in Baltimore and in the summer we would go there. It turned out that he lived near Sports Elite and with a mini ramp in the ally behind the shop. We were blown away when we saw Bucky skate street and mini... never saw him skate vert in person, only heard about his visits to Cedarcrest on occasion, and in the videos. I love Danny Way, but I like Bucky even more. He’s like 40+ years old and able to to frontside nollie kickflip stale grab to tail on a modern vert ramp.

[@jerryduford3254]

Two amazing skaters and good souls nothing better man hell yes

[@king-emperorbotolfzaneisem9329]

Is this Brandon's real account? If it is, really glad you aren't dead Novak. I have for awhile been watching a lot of videos about you and your story is insane. You're also a great story teller, I can always sit and listen to you talk. Keep it up man, you have a purpose in life

[@chriscameron9321]

Keep going Brandon, one day at a time to someone else that's spent many years in the madness you are an inspiration and other addicts, at the different stages of addiction can really look to you for hope. All in the good sense.

[@hometownzero2601]

Good shit, Novak. Keep it up.

[@kellymurphy2948]

Bucky's sick...what a nice dude....yep he's a pretty decent role model to say the least.

[@geezbellagio6565]

great interview bro ..one of my favorite skaters ..awesome Q&A

[@derekrogers5858]

Awesome

[@smokebomb69]

Brandon u have changed my life

[@joelkump]

awesome Interview

[@mglenwright09]

Brandon one thing I would recommend as a person who has come and gone and come and gone and come back and am doing things now....read. read books. they're so fucking good for your brain. and write. reading and writing is a huge huge step and ability that human beings have that set us apart and that we USE to set ourselves apart from the rest of the order. do it dude. you have so much compassion and empathy bro. i can see it. it's clear as fucking day. if you're like me, sometimes we have to step away from trying to get our fix for that compassion shit from people, and instead get it from books, or music or something other than physical contact. You have to. You clearly have the brain. Take the time to read the Greats. it's fucking good for you dude. as good as eating your greens every day. its good for you mind and it's good for your soul.

[@Johns1082]

novaks great, glad he quit the dope, influenced me to b clean from juice, 5 years, keep on keepin on novak!

[@FransGang]

Brandon you don't know it but I look up to you! Be good.

[@jacksonsplumbing6408]

[@garylevan45]

Bucky is a real live wire

[@blazejackson3439]

Hope all is well, man!

[@dopet4h2c0]

[@jigzgonzales676]

[@InfiniteWonderz2]

[@cmwmichael4835]

Hope you stay sober novak. Youre one of my role models.

[@84aurora88]

👍👍👍

[@TRedo011]

Deep

[@thefarmlifeinhd]

Why don't you start skating again?

[@wassupMannn]

Do Novak and Lasek have some Czech roots?

[@GateCosmicCZ]

To by mě taky zajimalo

[@marioaccardo4731]

I always chose Bucky while playing THPS

[@DrummingChronicles]

Go Novak!

[@travishicks8343]

So basically Bucky was a father figure for you & didnt mind it cause like he said he grew up without a father as well

[@gonzo13ist]

Who is the Amish guy?

[@daveybeuy]

jack of all trades master of none

[@robertpawluk5809]

Brandon is your sober house in Jersey? We gotta fucking ride together, whens the last time you been on the board?

[@shaun8062]

So the way most of America has been saying Bucky Lasek for the past few decades is WRONG??

[@alexg5632]

I feel like Brandon let Bam have the fame cus Bam was more stable and had a family to manage his skate career.

[@blairbarnes9200]

wow bucky looks great

[@paullawliet1422]

It’s funny how Brandon thinks he has this long successful career when in reality its only a few of the most minor roles ever years ago and a brief skating career. Like he said I’m normally the interviewee like he’s been interviewed three times on a somewhat national level, if that, throughout his entire life lol. Dude is so full of himself even after all the people’s he’s hurt which has really been all he’s ever primarily done throughout his entireclife.

[@jordanleon7152]

dear slim, I wrote you but you still aint callin I wrote my name my number and my address at the bottom.

[@RagD0L1]

That was embarrassingly wrong holy shit hahaha

[@panika2810]

Good on you for sobering up... but you constantly say from jackass... dude i saw you MAYBE twice in 3 sec clips in MAYBE jackass 3d MAYBE J.A.2. Your more viva la bam dude...

[@MrStrgslr]

Here's my idol *says last name wrong* Yeah guys I'm clean *needle hanging out of arm*TFOH
