Skateboard media moves pretty fast these days, and I think it’s good to occasionally remind ourselves that just because something came out today or went viral on Facebook 4 minutes ago, doesn’t necessarily make it better or more valuable than skateboarding from years ago. It’s even easy to neglect the timeless and progressive skateboarding of our most beloved skaters just because they aren’t in the vortex of daily content.
With that in mind, we had our friend Joey Sinko edit some of Bam Margera’s most memorable video moments so far and drench them in 90s and 00s nostalgia. If you ever wanted to remember why you love Bam or forgot he was a true skate rat before his MTV days, check this one out.

You obviously have never met him. I met him only twice and I can tell you that he’s very down to earth – the MTV side of him is a switch that he turns on as soon as the camera goes on.
This guy is more real than you could ever imagine.
