Brandon Visits Castle Bam 

That was by far that best version of Bam I have seen in a long time. I hope to see more of him headed that direction .

Come on Bam stay on the correct path we truly are rooting for you!

Bam quite possibly has more people rooting for his sobriety then anyone else in history.

These guys were like family to me. Growing watching them all throughout my teens it's really cool to see Bam looking so much better. Sure miss Ryan.

“All good things come to an end” that hit the feels for sure

its crazy how Novak & Bam changed roles

seeing bam sober and (somewhat) happy and laughing with novak makes me feel all kinds of things. these two were my childhood and they still mean the world to me. novak is so so inspirational in his sobriety journey, one of the main reasons i managed to overcome my own addiction. truly praying and hoping that bam also sees how loved he is and how good life can be.

It was around January 2003 at around 8am. I was in the 82nd Airborne and about to deploy to Iraq for my first time. I flew up to Philly to visit some family before I left. I was at the Philly airport ready to fly back to NC when I was walking down one of the terminals toward a bar. I heard skateboards riding through the terminal. I look behind me and see these two dudes skating past me through the airport. Never seen that before and still haven’t ever since. I was a huge fan of CKY and knew exactly who they were. But they kept skating on. I sat down at the airport bar and began drinking a brew. Then here come the skating duo to sit right next to me. We shared a round of beers and a couple laughs and that was it. Good times. I wish you well Bam and Novak. Thanks for the memory.

I honestly just wish the very best for Bam. Take it easy man, enjoy the life you've built.

He looks to be doing a lot better, I hope he continues, its nice to see him smiling again and being happy.

Bam has no idea how much he impacted so many lives. I am sitting here watching this, flashing back to 2004 and I have the biggest smile on my face. Non stop rooting for him to just make the complete turn around.

It's heartwarming to see people cheering for Bam to get better. I really hope he can kill of his demons. He was a huge part of my life at one point, when I was a young skateboarding guy. Good times.

So glad to see Bam happy and he still has that castle! That's awesome!!!!

I think a Viva La Bam reunion would be a pretty damn cool idea, maybe do like a podcast or something for the 20th anniversary of the show!!!

Bam is in such a tough and rare position of being both enviable but in a kind of hell at the same time. I don't think people realize how hard it is to get over your addictions when in your addictions you peaked and were genuinely having a lot of fun. Look at the huge smile on his face reminiscing about all the things in his past. Deep down as much as Bam parrots recovery cliches and says that being sober is awesome he would go back to the way things were in a heartbeat.

Took me back to my childhood watching Viva LA Bam!! 😭❤️

I love Novak for completely changing his life around and becoming a role model and overall better person. I know Bam's been through hell for so many years now but hopefully he can see Brandon's sobriety and it just helps him get through all of this

Stay sober boys! YOU BOTH mean a lot to our generation.

All good things come to an end. Those words are so true. Thanks for the memories!

This is the best thing I could ever ask for. Been Bam's biggest fan for over 20 years, I share all these memories often with Viva La Bam playbacks. Loved every moment of this 💜

Could it be? Is Bam really getting better? This is wonderful.

Bam's gotta drop the persona, he's still living his 20's in his mind. Love the guy and wish him the best.

This was such a treat to watch. And probably one of the more meaningful things I’ve seen lately too. Thanks for sharing this production!

We're rooting for you Bam! You've inspired so many of us even without meaning too. You gotta pull through this man, we all really love you bro!

He’s such a good rad dude when he’s clean and clear. Please keep it up Bam, stay straight for yourself, you’re 10x better like this.

loved that closing line from Novak, "all good things, come to an end."

Love that they made this video! Both of you look great. I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since the show, but man did I love watching yall.

The amount of entertainment these guys providing when I was in my teens... I will be forever grateful... Good old times man 😂😂

This got me watery eyed a bit and warmed my soul💛💯🙏

Instead of being buried in memories, Bam and Brandon should start something new maybe a podcast, music, pranks etc. Sure the young wild days are over but just because they're older doesn't mean they shouldn't have fun anymore

This video is pure Nostalgia thanks man it brings back so many memories in the the analogue tv times way before digital when everyone i knew was talking about viva la bam . I would love to chill out with Bam and Novak they are two good souls.

hope these guys know how much joy they’ve brought to us all over the years, nothing but love for these guys. miss ya too ryan ❤

This was recorded 2 years ago, hopefully BAM gets back to looking/sounding like this

Wow. For the first time in years we caught a glimpse of the real Bam again. That made me genuinely happy. Keep it up, Bam. 🖤

So awesome to see Bam getting healthy. As a man in recovery from meth and heroin myself, this is so inspiring. Jackass and CKY was a huge part of my teenage years and I feel like I went through my addiction with these guys. I’ve since published a book and started a youth program.

i love hearing the happiness in their voices while remembering the good times

Can you please turn the music down next time I can't hear anything they are saying?

Hope you had a healthy birthday, Bam. Much respect in recovery, my friend.

I love Bam he’s got such a good heart and soul, I pray he finds what he needs to stay and be happy for the rest of his years to come. I pray he’s able to surround himself with only positive people who don’t suck him dry and bring him down. Stay away Bam, from anyone trying to deceive and destroy you brother! Much love and respect, a fan!

I know this is over 2 years ago, but Bam looks great! The best I've seen him in a very long time. I'm always rooting for him to find his way. Love ya, Bam!!

These guys lived a life, imagine doing all this at that age, no limitations or money worries. Still go back and rewatch these every now and then!

Can’t say I’ve really done this before but I’ve prayed Bam feels healthy mentally/physically because I’ve been a fan of this dude since he was on my favorite 411VM vhs tape I used to watch before going out skating all day. Small town WV growing up, not many “good” spots to skate but we made it work. Miss the 90’s and miss those days of skating all the time ✌️

I just love Bam. Always rooting for him to find his peace & purpose in life again♥️

Such rad memories watching this.... Radio bam, viva la bam... so nostalgic for me! It's so comforting to see Bam and Novak both sober and looking good. Keep going Bam... there are SO many people rooting for you.

This is the healthiest and happiest I have seen Bam in a couple years now. I am so happy he has been sober for a month now, and I’m sending all the positive vibes I can to him. Love you Bam, and love you Brandon, you are both inspirations in your own ways, and you both have some amazing things to give the world! ❤

Literally EVERYTHING he mentioned i remember as if i were there! I still have every episode from every season including the specials and one-offs. R.i.p Vito & Dunn ♡ ps - looking good Bam, its great seeing you smile.

What a blast from the past thank you for this

This… is so refreshing to see. All the big prayers up for my man Bam and Fam. 🙏🏻

Just imagine the possibilities if Bam can keep this up? He could completely reinvent himself and we could see some greatness come back to life! So proud of you BAM!

Him talking about the show instantly just shows how much he misses those days. I love and miss those days. Watching viva la bam and listening to radio bam was always great

I got sober almost 2 years ago at a Banyan treatment center in Stuart Florida. didn't even know they had a you tube channel. If any of y'all from Stuart or watching thank you again for all that you do! Stay sober y'all and keep your positive thoughts strong.

It's almost like having a mirror held up at yourself, watching these guys and remembering how things were.. remembering how we were. Life got hard didn't it lads. One thing Bam always got right was passing the torch to the younger gen.

Honestly you can tell Bam has been through it. I hope he sees this comment, and knows even though it's been hard for him, and he certainly hasn't helped himself, we ALL want him to keep going in this direction. We can literally all see the big difference already. Keep it up bam bam

To be young again, they were a big part of my life. I wish nothing but the best for them.

Love it thanks for sharing so glad to see Bam doing well. He looks amazing, sobriety looks good on you BAM. Favourite skateboarder of all times. God bless him.

Bam really could’ve had the world by the nuts. He could’ve been an absolute mogul. He could be worth nearly a billion dollars by now. With his influence and brand I don’t think it’s too late for him to be these things.

This was nice to see Bam and Novak together, hopes Bam keeps on track.

This was healing to watch. Hope for more videos like this with all the other guys as well.

Now bring Dicamillo back into the mix and start making new videos, and only release them on VHS lol

Ryan would be so proud of Bam. He'd want his best friend to stay sober for his son. Always loved Bam and Novak.✌️❤️

Makes me so happy to see Brandon looking so good. God Bless You Brother

Heartwarming to see Bam like this Reminds me so much of the good old days God bless ❤

We're on on your side, man!! I hope he can stick it out and find life again ❤

Bam is the man im seriously so proud of him. i love this dude

My favourite group of people when I was growing up and I'm so happy to see Bam and the gang doing so well ♥

We love you BAM! You have been important to myself and a lot of peoples upbringing. We only want to see you healthy and happy. Keep kicking ass and pushing forward!

I partied at Castle Bam years ago with both Bam & Novak. This was pre Dunn passing away. I pray Bam can stay clean/sober & find peace like I & Novak have. Not a fan of Novak though for he now pimps out addicts for financial gain, but glad he did spend time with his old friend, who desperately needs a true friend, SO HE NEEDS YOU NOW NOVAK, NOT YOU PRETENDING LIKE THIS IS NOW. I devote much of my life TRULY helping those who still suffer & I have a strong feeling that this video is a bit older, & Bam still a mess. We all were a mess back then, Novak was the most fucked up so glad he is at least clean. I recently celebrated 7yrs of continual recovery & living proof that WE CAN & DO RECOVER FROM THE HOPELESS SLOW SUICIDE

Im so happy to see Bam doing this well, I really hope he cans keep it up, we need you Bam it’s not your time yet

This is the best Bam has ever looked to me. Keep it up, Bam!

I'm so happy to see him doing well. He and the others brought so many laughs to our generation.

I knew he would find his way. I'm so fkn happy to see bam being himself like this. I pray for him and his family especially ape and Phil.

this is from 2021

Dudes gone through life and has ups and downs like everyone else . I am a fan of him and his work and will always be a fan . Still a mentor and always will be . Proud of you bam!

I own all the viva la bam dvds and still watch it all religiously with my buddies , def a comfort show, no one will ever be able to make anything close to viva la bam again , love to see this

Bam will forever be the coolest personality to hit the TV screen

Bam stay on that right track homie, If you ever want , I’ll do a mural for your skatepark if ya want, no charge bro . Peace to you and Brandon

He's so nostalgic. Dude, you get your shit together and you can have it all back. We're rooting for you! Keep going that right track and make new memories. It was good to see you smiling, though

Knowing how the crew treated Novak when so many of them were similar makes me feel a way, but tbh everyone needs redemption. I wish Bam a healthy sober life.

You could really tell it's aching inside of him that those times are over and its time to move on

Love seeing these two together. Novak was a big part in my sobriety and Bam can be such a force in th sober community as well. I see amazing things

Man... I legit felt like I was watching a Viva la bam episode. So glad to see these 2 together fooling around. Stay on the good path Brandon and Brandon

I remember being a little skater punk watching viva la bam, now I’m a dad with a mortgage watching this, absolutely wild.

I will always be rooting for BAM in general. It's good to see him doing well.

This really made my day seeing this. It's nice to see him get better and make a mends with the man he could really learn from.

DAMN NEAR THE BEST VIDEO OF 2023! STAY HEALTHY, THE WORLD IS ROCKIN W/ YOU BAM. •LEGEND•

I always root for Bam, he has so many supporters, life is a roller coaster.

Great to have you back Bam please make more videos there's a lot of people that still love you bro

I could watch an hour of this. Keep this kinda thing coming

Praying for you bam! U were my childhood man 14 years old watching Viva La bam skating everyday. Great to see you like this.

Bam your a living legend God bless you I pray you stay on the right path

love you dudes so much! grew up on cky and then jackass and it's awesome to see you together

I teared up seeing these two together. Yes.

Bam, thoroughly enjoyed Viva La Bam absolute legend. We need more of ya mate. Si 👍

Thanks for the memories guys

Love seeing the old place and some of the old Bam! Love ya man!!!!

I wish the VERY best for you Bam!! It's a hard road but you've got it!! The best I've seen Bam in a long time!!

that was awesome. love to see old friends together. old school like mtv cribs. this was a badass video. cheers to both of them.

Bam and novak are good dudes in person glad to see them having good days hope god continues to bless them

Hope Bam keeps up his sobriety and health. I live in the same town and only wish the man health and happiness in his older ages. I'm around the same age also. What Bam and Jackass did for West Chester, Chester County PA was awesome. Made us all proud to live around where it all began. And as fans of the show and current resident. Our entire community mourned the loss of Ryan Dunn even though we didn't know him personally. He was still a resident. Lets all get old and happy.

As someone from Philly in recovery from addiction, it makes me so happy to see BAM like this.
