Bam Margera ‘Robbed At Gun Point’ And Breaks Nine Month Sobriety

The professional skateboarder, who shot to fame when he appeared on Jackass, had just arrived in Cartagena, Colombia, when he jumped in a taxi outside the airport.

In the video he explained: "I couldn't speak Spanish, they couldn't speak English and they translated on their phone for me to read 'empty your wallet', as they put a gun on their lap to show it to me".

Not really your everyday occurrence is it? Or at least you hope not.

Luckily, the 'thieves' let Bam go but not without stealing $500 (£392) from him that was in his wallet. Because when you're at gunpoint, you give over whatever you have - Jackass or not.

And it looks like the experience got the better of the father-of-one when he posted another video to Instagram, two hours after the initial one.

This time he was letting his 1.6 million followers know that he had broken his nine month sobriety.

But he discovered a 'new purpose' with his wife, Nikki, and son, Phoenix Wolf - ditching the booze and making a triumphant return to skateboarding.

"By the end of the night, I would probably have ten pints worth of it. It was pretty bad. It was weird, because there would be times where I would go on a three-day bender of drinking and then five days of not drinking. When that five days ended, I would go on a two-day bender."

Last Autumn Bam attended a surprise Jackass reunion where the beers flowed all night long.

"That's when I noticed the police lights behind me. I was like, 'Fuck, I'm pulled over.' As it turned out, the police had actually pulled someone else over right behind me, and then came to my car to see why I was just sitting there.

"I had nothing to do with it, but I stayed there until I had something to do with it. So yeah, I had the pleasure of getting a DUI that night that led to my being in a treatment centre for a month."
