Bam Margera on returning to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4, life and rehab
Briefly

Bam Margera has made a notable return to skateboarding, overcoming significant injuries and personal struggles. After an initial dire prognosis in 2013 regarding the condition of his legs due to alcohol abuse, Margera faced a challenging recovery period that led to a dark time in his life. With the help of a stretch coach, his physical condition improved drastically. Now, Margera is focused on skateboarding, aiming to film tricks daily and expressing that engaging in what he loves revitalizes his life and brings new opportunities.
In 2013, the doctor looked at my legs and said that they were dry-rotted rubber bands from alcohol abuse. Good luck trying to skate.
When I reached down to touch my toes, my hamstring pulled, and I was out for a year. I lost hope from that, and I actually drank more.
My legs are 45, and they feel like they're 20 again. So my passion for skateboarding is back, and that's pretty much my main focus and goal.
When you do what you love, and skateboarding got me to where I am, all these neat things are just falling into place.
