Bastien Salabanzi interview'09

[jon0allie]

the flip team used to have a lot more fun. if you watch the videos from sorry to really sorry then extremely sorry you will notice that more and more skating has become more organized and the skaters don't have as much fun fucking around. its very sad. i myself have been skating for 10 years and i have witnessed this

[Simric22]

He remember me of Jean-MIchel Basquiat. I don't think he's creative as Basquiat was, but he's probably brilliant too.

[Elze77]

Peace

[hollywoodjokerpicalo]

3 years to make a good video that's like a good skaters whole time of skating sometimes.

[veroviewer]

fuck his part is goin to fuckin RULE

[giammyerrico]

i'm a friend of bastien and sometimes i see this video.....bastien has a really love for this sport hes a really good boy and a really good skater....he's the best!

bastien is the god......(SORRY FOR THE ENGLISH I'M ITALIEN)

[slapbetman1]

Is he still sponsered by Flip. I can't believe he is so much older,I remember when he was kicking it when he was 15.

[priceyboy]

man hes turning in to a man 

[virtu69]

Whole-hearted interview specially his words, "It's natural to take care of it and to love it-you know?"

[SuperSpud803]

dude it's so funny watchin him in contests he comes off as so lame but in this interview he seems like the coolest dude ever! there's more to this dude i wanna know what it is

[lifeonmarss]

@SuperSpud803

comes off as so lame? wtf are you talking about ... he shows up to contests with no sponsors and still takes home the cake...

[SuperSpud803]

type "bastien salabanzi show" on youtube.

[lifeonmarss]

@SuperSpud803

just watched it.. and i still don't see what would make you say that.. the fact that hes getting hyped? its a contest dude and they are skating for money, i'd be hyped as fuck too knowing i was shredding... especially if you look at the other fools skating who got that "ugh wtf am i doing here" look on there faces.. and he hooked a kid in the crowd up with a complete.. how much sicker can a dude get?

[SuperSpud803]

i guess that is sick i can't see it though. but i will tell you he got kicked off of flip because of his attitude. i think its just half people think self props are tight and half don't.

[eurekaskateshop]

Yeah Bastien's back!

[BadaBoOm190887]

Frenchy style ;)))) bastien tu gère grave mec !!! respect ,je rêve seulement de pouvoir être aussi bon que toi un jour mais je suis des personnes à croire que c'est donné dès la naissance ,c'est comme un don , enfin bon je reste un assez bon skater sinon mais à ne pas me comparer à toi , c'est sure lol ^^ skate for the life !!! <3

[TheTeenageMuffin]

damn! who the fuck switch heels a barrier!?

[rkalldayeveryday]

@TheTeenageMuffin you

[TheTeenageMuffin]

@rkalldayeveryday you wish homes.

[DjAstroTheProtege]

He's fucking gnar ass helll!!

[CoVrt]

bastien! dont forget who introduced you to guitar! hello from matt in long beach.

[ferglovesguitar]

He's officialy my idol now. What a cool person.

[atpforever1]

which drugs was he addicted to?

[crazynip]

Bastien is one of the sickest skateboarders of all time. I like how he doesnt care about being a coverage whore and skating for this crew or that, hes just chill and wants to be with homies

[iluvbangbros]

@crazynip but he definitely comes to the us for the maloof MONEY cup.

[aNCIENThERBS222]

a legend now.

[skatechatham]

Nice to see him talk, it's a different perspective than just watching him skate. Everyone gets the wrong impression about him hyping his landings at contests, but I look at it like he's Hulk Hogan just getting the crowd hyped. Skateboarding is about fun and originality anyways, and who else is throwing up the hype like that after tricks? Nobody! Glad he's still rippin'

[130world]

best street skater ever

[zume2600]

Best street skater ever??

[Slawektsrcrew]

kawał najlepszego skateboardingu!!!

[JonneyeTV]

crazy switch heels

[Garth1612]

He seems like a mellow dude but during competitions he's uber hyper and kind of a show off. Can't blame him though he's beast.

[gavswingewood]

Shame he's left the scene.. he was/is still my favourite skater by far!

I'll never live down the day I learnt the Salabanzi flip..

[SolitarySK8boards]

@gavswingewood what is a salabanzi flip? just asking

[zeroireland]

@SolitarySK8boards

Kickflip crossfoot

[patkagi]

Really dope to see this!

[koarson]

Bastien est tres bien!! no1. Skater de France!!

[daffyduckUK1]

@Umaralkhattab91 geek

[stalkerv334]

he was addicted to hard drugs pretty long, but now hes back!I just hope he stick to ganja not some other shit and skates like a badass muthafucka!!!!

[najkeyNator]

@stalkerv334 did you even watch the interview?

[stalkerv334]

@najkeyNator WTF?!Oc corps o watched the vid.

[guez999]

@stalkerv334 he was not addicted to hard drugs you prick

[stalkerv334]

@guez999 yes he was.he was even kicked out of flip because of that!

[guez999]

@stalkerv334 how do you know he was? its just a bullshit rumour

he LEFT flip because he wanted to be back in the europe scene with his family and friends. he has pretty much been killing it on the european scene since he left flip but your just to naive to know it.

[new1heights]

@stalkerv334 fag

[Punk1Day]

î got the new bastien deck and my name is basti xD

[1Drummer88]

@Punk1Day

Buy yourself a cookie dude ...

[WillMillion15]

How old is he now?

[LearnToFlash]

Im telling you, since the flip video, really sorry... hes been so sick! has he won sOTY? cause he deserves it

[CoryTrevor1]

no clue he was french

[szegedsk8video]

Extremely Sorry

[MarkIngham]

dudes a stud! one of my all-time favs!

[loopguru66]

he seems so chill and old for his age, except when he's on a skateboard.

[303JULEZ303]

hell yea speaks tha truth i would be living in cali if it wasnt for me having son

OG TRIPLE OG RIGHT HERE

[twentynothing]

damn bastien's gnar

and fine as hell!!!!

[ChrisFlipsAlot]

Thats fucking rad I always got the impression he was really arrogant, and all the negative rumors you hear about him being a coke head. Looks like he matured a lot, he seems chill and down to earth now. Fuck yeah go Bastien!

[Camoflaugethechimera]

It sucks that Bastien lost most of his sponsors.

[SkaterTreB2]

thses dudes called Nyjah Huston "baby Bastien" is that a complement?!?!?

[xjthg187187x]

idk nyjah's really good and has a long time to progress , bastiens ona high level though so maybe it is compliment

[Thisisntchriszeffert]

i could see him on sterio or chocolate

[praisethedog]

nah fuck flip city stars or dgk should pick him up who does he ride for

[steezyJeff]

city stars? this isnt 2002 man

[trojan545]

[robiskate]

[snipermalliki]

3 to 4 years to make a good vid part....I'm glad to see the guys are actually letting the 1 uppers and haters know how hard it is to skate.

[donttrustany1]

wow...a skateboarder that is an actual human being....wow!

[sexyboy316]

i like how hes family type of person and not the typical i dont care about life skater

[waldosk8er]

is good to see he's back again and he's skating good like always.

[febreezy3000]

We need more skaters like Bastien in America.

[mumba3]

[danteisbrutal]

[93shredhead]

i hope bastien comes out wit a banger part he used to be my favorite back in the day

[dickcottagecheese]

4:20 lol

[skaterchevy]

i remember when i first stareted skating and the one of the first videos i saw was flip really sorry and i when i saw his part i was just thinking of getting into skating propelry it was the switch heel at the end that made the video for me !

[Tiv4th]

fuck

[GunnerAsh]

I'm loving that he's on Jart. I'll never forget watching him kill it when he was still a kid in Sorry, but its nice to see he's still doing his thing.

[SkateNCreate90]

I miss seeing his footage, it would have been so great if he would have been in the next flip video. But hes happy in europe so its all good. Id like to hear his music sometime.
