Dude has no idea how many people are on his side and want him to just be happy. š¤š¼
-
Man I gotta give it to Phil..that guy was an unbelievable father. A kid just couldnāt ask for a better dad.
-
Bam would be lost without his parents, they're the most patient, understanding and compassionate parents ever. Seems like Phil set the path for his skating career by taking him everywhere to skate and filming it! Incredible.
-
This doc seemed so optimistic at the time. At this point I just hope bam doesnāt die
-
I donāt think Bam really understands how lucky he is to have such loving, caring, supportive parents that are still together. Thatās huge.
-
1.1 million views in 2 days... Shows how much we really miss Bam and want him to get better. If Steve-O and Novak can do it, Bam can as well.
-
This doc seemed so positive when I watched it when it first came out. After seeing whatās happened recently with Bam and rewatching it, you can see these uneasy looks from everyone around him and sense these tense undertones. Itās like everybody knows a secret that they arenāt telling the interviewer.
-
April made me cry at the end with what she said, that life's a 15 minute ride and that she wants her son to come out the way he went in. She doesn't judge him, she just wants the best for him. So sweet.
-
Bams dad just incredible, you can just tell listening to him he's a wonderful person.
-
when his mom said' he is extremely jealous of his friend' hit hard. Because Novak used his platform and was open and honest about addiction and he saved sooo many lives by doing that. Novak is an insperation and you can tell Bam wants to do the same but isn't sure of how.
-
Phil is the definition of not just an amazing father but just an amazing being
-
Phil needs to get way more credit for how genuinely supportive he is , it really didnt seem like a chore to him watching and letting bam skate even the more crazier stuff, not a lot of parents would do that
-
When his dad filmed his mom calling her gorgeous was so beautiful and wholesome. Bam has loving amazing parents. He should be truly grateful
-
I met Bam Margera a few weeks ago in Tampa at the DAMN AM, he said he was 60 days sober. Hope he keeps it up, and stays back on his board. Skateboarding needs him back, and healthy. Best of luck to him and his family.
-
Iām here watching this, right after seeing Bam threaten to go smoke crack under the bridge until he dies if the mother to his child doesnāt let him see the child. Iām praying for Bam and and I hope he can see how much heās got and how many people care about him.
-
Phil is such a wholesome dad. I have loved that guy since day 1. Him and Ape have been the anchors to Bams life
-
Bam was my comfort as a kid in an abusive home. I have a deep love and appreciation for him. His family became my tv family in a way. Sending bam and his family all the love I can.
-
No matter what he goes through, I will always be pulling for Bam
-
honestly i know people say dunnās death is a dumb excuse but its really not, they never lost a best friend and even after all these years id still be distraught. lost is a good way to put it, just like bam.
-
Phil and April's love for their children is heartwarming.
