Anyone else think he'd be a great addition to Street League?  He obviously has tricks on lock and can bring his ridiculous self cheering/personality.

Bastien is tight, im not knocking him. But I dont get paid and probably never will get paid for skateboarding and can produce 1-3 parts a year and he cant? Cmon now doggie the hood waitin on a new part!
You answered your own question. The skateboarding he puts out is good.
Are you a kook? If you would say this, the answer is “YES”
I quit skating for a time due to piling out

i think the most interesting thing about him is that out of every pro out there he's the one that most truely doesn't give a shit about the industry or fans while still being one of the most talented people to ever touch a board. he had and still has an opportunity to be not only one of the worlds top pros but also could hit legend status but truely doesn't give a shit. he could be banking like prod or nyjah but would rather skate sick parks in france. he knows that people critisize his overhyped, self cheering but doesn't give a shit. i've always been a fan and find his fuck you to all of us and the industry to be one of the most interesting things about him and his skating.

I think it wasn't really his choice and he couldn't bank like Nyjah oder Prod, even if he wanted to. He was on top of the skateworld and
made tons of money with his sponsors(Flip, Etnies, Quicksilver,...) and then, the day after this:
Hello21 Issue3 - Bastien Salabanzi (seen at the Mustic Cup)

he lost all his sponsors because of the influence, Flip had on the industry at that time, and it seemed they didn't like the behaviour of him at that contest, or they realised he was getting too good, whatever. I think the only ones who were still backing him were Thrasher after that happened. There was a gnarly interview in The Skateboard Mag a few years ago but I can't find it online. Probably somenone can post it.

I think it's really strange in the skatebiz how some people can get from superstar status to beeing blacklisted within a day and never get the chance to recover. I have to think of guys like Josh Kasper, Salabanzi, Danny Gonzales and a few others...

skaters can be marketable outside of the industry. with his skill what i said is true. even after all this time and only releasing park footage look at the hype in this thread. that is worth more than what he gets from it. you might not see it but it's there.

You're reaching sleazy. Maybe its your love of money that he obviously shares that you can identify with. its lame no matter how good you are to only skate contests and never film, regardless of the reason.
I;m sure i;m not the only dc/monster/subaru type guy here

wait, what??? my point was that what i enjoy about him was that he, unlike me, isn't thinking about getting as much as he can out of his career. i can't imagine a stronger way of showing that you really just love skating than saying no to being a top pro and still killing it for fun. if there is anything that i have in common with him it's skating for fun, not ambition.

I agree with you, but my point was that I don't think he's the kind of guy who doesn't give a shit like Penny is, and what I said I don't think ist was his choice, it was the decision of some industry guys and he has to deal with it since. Don't get me wrong, I back him 100% and I'm still hoping for a great comeback. It was cool to see him at that maloof contest last year. He ripped but it's the same with creager not getting a shoe sponsor anymore, we seem to have a different sight on those things than the skate industry apparantly has...unfortunately!

Probably Prod is gonna leave PlanB anytime soon, 'cause it's kind of strange that he changed the name of his twitter account ...

that would be the coolest thing ever: Bastien on Plan B and putting out a new part in the upcoming PlanB vid!!!

...sorry when I'm drunk,  I sometimes start dreaming a bit too much...   ;D

not all skateboarding is done on film. sorry but that man bastien aint tryna entertain you lil niggas out here hes obviously just tryna skate, play his lil guitar, & get that contest money on tha side. im sure dudes happy with his life and doesnt care if you think thats "lame".

Damn, I'm lovin' this thread. This just reminds me of how much I loved Bastien. It's lame how Flip just dropped him, but he's still doing very well for himself even after he was blacklisted. And he really does need to Street League, I would love to watch that.

Dyrdek should definitely get Bastien on Street League if he wants it to be entertaining.

Most of the guys he has signed up have zero personality.

Not to mention that Bastien is one of the handful of skaters that could actually beat Nyjah.
