Former Jackass star and pro-skater Bam Margera seems to be getting his life back on track after battling alcoholism and spending time in rehab.
The infamous daredevil went through a rough patch when his best friend and Jackass alumni, Ryan Dunn, died in car accident in 2011.
However since getting clean, Bam is back doing what he loves the most – besides performing ridiculous stunts – skating.
