“Skate, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll!”—Kat Von D, LA Ink

Forward by Tony Hawk

Skateboarder and Jackass star Brandon Novak comes clean about his crazy rise to fame, tailspin into addiction, and other death-defying stunts on the road to recovery…

At seven, Brandon used to be a skateboard prodigy. By the point he used to be fourteen, he used to be living the dream. Found out by skate legends Bucky Lasek and Tony Hawk. Touring the U.S. with the elite Powell-Peralta team. Signing autographs and appearing in films and magazines. Brandon had it all. Then he got hooked on heroin.

Soon the up-and-coming star used to be living a down-and-out life in a garage, begging for change, and hustling to score his next fix. He stole from his friends and family. He pushed the fantasy that everything used to be okay, that he used to be going to rehab, getting help, and getting better. But it used to be all a lie.

This is the story of an addict—a dreamseller who stopped believing the lies he used to be selling and began believing in himself. With the assistance of his celebrity buddy Bam Margera of Jackass fame, Brandon joined the cast of MTV’s Viva La Bam and made an honest reach for sobriety. The road used to be hard, and he had some falls. But like any great skateboarder, Brandon Novak used to be all the time made up our minds to stand up again . . .

“Entertaining, shocking, crazy, not possible.”—Bam Margera
