"you've seen him on the big screen. you've watched him on the small screen. but never before has bam margera exposed himself like this.

famous for his cringe-worthy, laugh-out-loud daredevil stunts, he has thrilled and revolted audiences nationwide with his relentless antics. now, for the first time, bam shares his private writings, never-before-seen personal photos, drawings, and more in this dynamic, anarchic auto-collage, a frenetic yet brutally honest document of the life he leads. fans who can't get enough of his rowdy shenanigans will finally see what makes the star tick. known for his creative style since becoming a pro skater at age thirteen, bam pulls readers into his chaotic world -- the music, the movies, the games, the pranks, the skating, the glory and the pain....

this time, bam margera is serious...as dog dirt."

peace.
