It really is, and the thing that sucks about it is how amazingly euphoric it feels when you reach the high. It makes you feel invincible, like you can conquer the world. But eventually, that feeling goes away and the crash hits you hard...
I'd love for more people to be aware of how shitty it can be, as too many people still don't understand how traumatic it is to a person's psyche. Up becomes down, right becomes left, and before you know it, you're doing some of the most asinine things without even realizing it.
When I read people like you, with a lot of awerness and compassion, about mental diseases and mental health, I'm hopeful that they rest of the people someday will understand how big of a d
If only more people had your awereness abd compassion regarding mental diseases, the world be a safer place gor the people how suffers so much.
It sounds like Knoxville, Tremaine, and Jonze were using Jackass 4 the way Kevin Smith used Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. As sort of a carrot to get Bam a paycheck and sober him up while under their supervision. I know that the side cast was really pushing for another Jackass because what else are they supposed to do with their lives, especially when they can't tour and do appearances and shit.
Hope he gets it together and this doesn't end the bad way.

Bipolar disorder is no joke and hopefully the help sticks this time. being a substance abuser with bipolar disorder and going through manic episodes, completely unchecked is just a disaster waiting to happen. hopefully people around him are genuinely trying to help and not just help to get the movie together.
Yup. I had struggled with this for a long time and I didn't realize that I was bipolar. I just got diagnosed recently. It's hard to deal with. I don't get full blown mania but hypomania so I can only imagine how hard that is.
Bam will hopefully survive this next decade. I wouldn't be surprised if not. Such a shame. I undrstand the abuse angle towards his parents but the guy was a great skater for his time and heaing him get back into it in Barca was a real uplifting moment. He's had issues from day dot. He didn't handle them well, nor did he handle money well and it didn't help him either. He's been sick a while but he was a good skater, entertainer (despite) and seeing anyone in this state is sad. When The Dreamcatcher hangs up the phone on you, you know there's issues.
Big up Steve, Novak and all of them that got through it. It must be hard being young, dumb and full of drugs.
On a side note, what the fuck does Dico look like these days though? I wanna see HeisenDico come back for BreakingKombat.

the last time I saw Dico was when he did the Madden Rap with Mega64.
Fuck, I really hope Bam gets it together. :(

No video but his IG has had like 20 posts since with various "Fuck Jackass 4" or "Flopass" or "No Jackass without Bam."
A friend of mine's boyfriend.... made shirts to raise money for him apparently... pretty embarrassed about it/
If the rule he broke is "don't use drugs around recovering addicts" then I don't know what he expected. I mean part of getting the crew back together was probably to try and keep Bam sober, but not at the risk of everyone else relapsing as well.
He was on Dr. Phil as he requested and just lashed out at his parents and wife.
He doesn't seem to get it.
He did light up when talking about his son but I guess that wasn't motivation enough.

This was all after his hopeful posting.
shame :( are his parents still in the picture?
I'm honestly shocked more of them didn't die or wind up completely paralyzed a long time ago.

That drawing which says "Jackass 4 Who Gives a Fuck?" is really ironic when you see the following 16 pictures
Johnny Knoxville's body is disturbingly fucked up. He had an interview in which he detailed how badly he was hurt for some forgettable movie called Action Point (the guy bent his knee backwards and popped his eye out of its socket for a movie no one even saw!) and it just really bummed me out that he's putting himself through these stunts at all.
Johnny Knoxville Breaks Down Every Injury of His Career
Johnny Knoxville breaks down all the injuries of his career. From pepper spray and taser guns, to breaking his ankle crossing the LA river, to getting shot by a rocket over a lake and getting landed on by a motorbike, listen to Johnny break down the timeline of his injuries, Johnny's new movie...
This dude so clearly has survivors guilt or PTSD or what not for enabling everything leading up to Dunn getting in that wreck - i can't imagine what it's like having the gravy train attached to you
At least they know exactly what they're getting into instead of getting mindwiped into concussion ball when they're in middle school.
Knoxville is also a genetic anomaly. I think my favorite is the riot claymore that shoots out all the fuckin rubber bullets at the crew. Bam and everyone else are about to shit themselves and Johnny is just smiling and laughing - aftewards everyones on the floor moaning and he's like "Did it hit my face? No? Then we're good, baby!"
Always felt like most of them were in on the joke though. Bam always struck me as that dude who started believing the life MTV cut for him up on the screen was what the real world should be/was. Having a friend die partially because of the show you're the primary force for is a pretty fucked way to have to learn that lesson. Sad that it seems like it totally broke the guy.

Steve-O has been on Howard Stern and even Game Grumps, telling them that the Jackass crew had an intervention with him about his drug habits and alcohol abuse in which they set very explicit and clear boundaries. He said if it weren't for those explicit warnings and Johnny supporting him that he would not have survived.
I believe it.
I have to wonder if this is what happened with Bam--- but with a different outcome?

I'm sure they probably tried but one of the biggest issues with Bam is that hes been enabled since he was a kid. His parents encouraged the filming since at first it was just filming skate bits. The stunts came shortly after but if I remember correctly they had been doing stunts and pranks the whole time also but just hadnt started filming them and editing them into the skate vids yet.
So now you have a grown man who was never held responsible for the consequences. Excessive access to everything at a young age. Add the more than likely PTSD of losing his best friend. Bam's been an alcoholic for a very long time as much as I loved HIM it was Ville Valo who introduced Bam to day drinking claiming it was how he stayed thin and Bam didnt want to end up like Phil and Vito.
Yeah bam was going downhill in like 2009 and 2010 before Dunn died. Then that broke him and he's been gone ever since.
Didn't Knoxville sustain an injury that basically rendered him unable to get an erection anymore?Johnny Knoxville's body is disturbingly fucked up.

Nitro Circus, did some ramp stunt, the dirt bike fell on him, I think he had to stick a tube up his penis when he needed to pee for quite some time.
They are going to wind up with chronic pain, if they aren't already suffering in various ways. Which will be a bad combo for a bunch of people with major addiction issues.
This is why I kinda figured they were making the movie, along with perhaps the reality that several of them had probably burned through all of their money.
Knoxville always seemed like the most "well adjusted" of the group, so if he's coming back to do more of this at his age, it would probably be to help his friends.
Hard to watch Bam like this.
If you're familiar with the CKY videos, some of those pranks were filmed when Bam was like 12 or 13. It's been his entire life.
Update from TMZ, it's what most of us expected: Bam Margera Kicked Off of 'Jackass 4,' Couldn't Abide by Conditions
yeah its pretty tough - theres so many fans of the show that want to see the dude succeed but he keeps relapsing, a slow moving train crash
That accident is one of the most fucked up things. Just completely bizarre anyone OKayed Johnny doing that backflip when he could barely ride a motorcycle to begin with.
"Our sources tell us"...
Bam told us literally every bit of this in the Instagram videos TMZ.
