Serious as Dog Dirt!

by Bam Margera

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.

I HAVE to give it a 5-star because I LOVE BAM!!!
This is more like a scrapbook, with tons of pictures and his handwritting on notebook paper or papernapkins or anything else he could find to write on. If you are a huge fan of Jackass or Viva la Bam or all his other shit, you'll basically know most of what's in this book.
If you are a fan, you should definetly check it out, if you aren't, don't bother you will be appalled, there is no sensors in the book. I would not recommend it for the younger fans.

As a massive fan of Bam I had to give this 5 stars, I loved it. Didn’t mind that it was choppy and mostly just diary entries. I just wish it had been in chronological order and that the writing wasn’t across both pages as it made it right hard to read. Loved all the unseen photos and the calendars at the start.

Came for the Ville Valo content. Stayed for the crippling Y2K nostalgia 🥲

I got this book for Christmas because I totally idolize Bam Margera as a skater and adreniline junkie.Within the first few pages of his calendars I thought it was the best thing ever.You get a deep look inside Bam and see that he isnt just a boozed up skater.He's real and I love that.I think the best part was where he described the taxi driver taking him two hours in the wrong direction on his way to meet with The 69 Eyes.For fans of Bam I really think you'd enjoy this.Go out and get this.

I thought this was going to be an actual book but it was really just a collection of pictures. There are pages with Bam's handwritten notes but they are messy, hard to read, and often covered with pictures. The pictures are cool and there are a bunch of calendar pages outlining Bam's everyday life but other than that nothing really special. If you're a die-hard fan of Bam I'd suggest it, but if you're looking for more depth this isn't for you.

Well..... a friend let me borrow this. I have no idea why i read it. Maybe I liked Jackass? I just don't know. Anyhow, this book is a collection of Bam's drawings and ramblings. It's written as if by a 8 year old. Spelling is messed up and it looks and reads more along the lines of the memoirs of a seriously drunk person. Don't read this because it will draw your life from your body, but there are a few laughs along the way. Bleh...

I loved how the book was like reading Bam's diary. I loved the pictures and the layout. The only negative thing I have to say is that some of the news articles and diary entries are cut off so it makes it difficult to read some of the stories. I would love it if Bam would release a biography of his life.

I honestly didnt know what to expect when i got this book...
But i really enjoyed it, i found it scatty and all over the place just as i imagine Bam is in real life, but i loved that it was in his own hand, and the calenders were brilliant, what a lovely yet small glimpse into his world. Ill be honest and say i would have liked there to have been a bit more...
The photos were also really good.

I love Bam with all my heart, and I found this book perfect. Who cares if it has a lot of pictures? He tells awesome stories from way back when Jackass was just starting out as a TV show, all the way to around 2006! I'm definitely going to read it again, and again, and again, until I have it completely memorized! Amazing, 5 stars. ♥

This isn't really a book. It's Bam's pictures and xerox copies of his day planner. Flip through it at the bookstore, don't spend your money on it.
