Excellent! I really enjoyed it which is saying a lot since I know nothing about skateboarding and even less about Bam Margera. Glad you landed that plane.

Great story! Love the slap! I worked for a skateboard company when CKY came out and got to go to the premier party before it came out. Made a ton of copies for the hood, felt like a legend! 😂

I thought I was reading one of Emilie’s pieces until you mentioned talking to Emilie after meeting Bam. I was like “dang, she’s hardcore getting slapped by Bam” and “didn’t know she was a skater”. 😂

What an awesome piece, Andy! As a Bam fan myself and finding the boys of jackass in a similar way myself, i totally related to this. Happy birthday!!!!! Oh, and, my mom’s birthday is 8/9, so that answers a lot 😆
