Asking people to donate 8k this week or he's gonna lose a guitar? Sounds like a scam or mental health issues

edit. Took me some time to understand what he was saying in his posts, I guess he wants to buy an $8000 guitar and has a week to pay before the reservation goes up

Worth noting his ex-roommate probably got him into the whole guitar thing and then swindled a bunch of money by pretending to be a "legit" guitar fixer man. Totally fooled him!

i absolutely hate the word 'instafamily'

please let me know where I can not donate anything to this.

I guess his boards don't sell like it used to..
-
doesn't he have kids? and he's worried about an 8000$ guitar? idk where to even start with this
-
I'm praying everyone swoops in with their hard-earned money and helps him to buy this eight thousand dollar musical instrument.

If i had the bread laying around id give it to him

I used to love Bastien, now he only deserves a "go fuck yourself".
-
His playing doesn't warrant an 8000k antique fender. Get this man a First Act and call it a night. Only .025% of his followers would have to donate a dollar.
-
Anyone who pays for their brand new instrument to look "aged" or "road worn" can go fuck a hill of fire ants.

he needs our help guys!!

Turns out the guy he put on blast works in the repair shop at a famous guitar shop in Westwood LA, so he has his employers fooled as well.

First Wenning and now Bastien. Former pro skating is one helluva drug.

nice relic'd finish bro ::)

Scab cunt

I remember watching Bastien doing a switch heel up the six stair at Tempe Park. It was amazing.
However, shit like this reminds me why he got kicked off Vans, had no shoe sponsor, and was stuck riding for Jart for years.

i like bastien's choice of words in this one. he puts it as if his fanbase bought him this exorbitant gift, he would be sharing it with everyone who paid for him to have it. also "wood".
-
Primitive should be out in front of this. Bad PR making it look like they're not paying any better than Toy Machine.
edit: Honestly, if I ran a company, i'd have it written into every contract that any begging on the internet immediately terminates your sponsorship.
It has nothing to do with primitive how anyone spends their money, if he’s blown it all that’s his problem
-
Does he need to send money to the needy or buy himself a guitar?
-
I never thought I'd wish he'd stayed kooked out of the industry, but here I am..
-
bastein! BASSSSTEEEEIIIIIN! Salabanzi. No I will not give you my money.
-
Hate to break it to you, Bastien, but even the most expensive guitar in the world will not make your hackneyed, wannabe Jack Johnson songs sound good.

Yo you should hear his rendition of "Daughters" on this beast, son.

Why does he keep saying ours? Even if I fly to Paris with my receipt, I don't think he'll let me play it.
-
(https://i.ibb.co/zfWh5mH/snip.png)
Kinda want to know who bought all the other ones now.
I could see asking the internet to help buy you a guitar if you were a touring musician and your gear got stolen or something tragic like that, but even then something at this price is still ridiculous. Only big name musicians and lawyers play those kind of guitars and Bastian isn't either.
-
shame to see it go this way. dude sounds like an entitled fuck wit. i like his napkin math of dividing the cost of want he wants by the number of followers he has. dude's got a case of the baby brain.
-
But isn’t he on primitive ? If they are not paying him enough to get that guitar than he can’t afford it. I don’t ask people on the internet to pay for shit I want
Whoever said companies should build a no money begging clause in their contract is right, except for like serious real emergency’s not because they want something they can’t afford
-
I'll cover the entire cost. But only if he switches genre to that yngwie malmsteen shit. The kids in Africa demand it.
-
The more I think about it, the more strange it seems that Primitive doesn't gift all of their riders with an $8k guitar on the same day that their "Welcome to the team" part drops. What a bunch of cheap asses.
-
What is happening here? Is he going to feed the children of africa this guitar?
Why did he tag rob dyrdek and Spencer Hamilton?
Is he of primitive?
On coke?
-
People in his comments seem like they're willing to donate. Maybe I just try this. The guitar I want is only like $600, or only $6 a piece for my 100 or so followers.

What guitar do you want ?

Get a job, loser.

Ok, so which one of us is going to DM him and promise to pay off the rest of the balance if he sends us $2k first? If he's doing it for the kids in Africa (clearly he's not) I think a little Nigerian scam might be in order.

I'd really like some fancy expensive shit, too, anyone willing to contribute to my Patreon and make my dreams reality?

I disliked him in the Flip days (he's like Derek Zoolander - he's not an ambiturner). Then I started rooting for him as the weird comeback underdog when he got on Primitive/went to Street League etc.
Now I dislike him more than ever.
-

His brain has to be fried to do something like this in the first place - his own convoluted logic makes sense to him, so I'm sure he'd have a perfectly resonable explanation.
Growing up, on every street, there's always one asshole kid who tries to pull off the ye olde, "Hey everyone, let's chip in for this bike! It's ours but has to stay in my garage!"

Those guitars are expensive. So is recording. People often sell their gear to pay for studio time. I’m guessing he just got this fender custom shop made AND shipped overseas and since he’s recording something he doesn’t want to lose his guitar.

It's not 2004. Recording is not expensive. And nothing he is going to write/record would justify either real studio time, or felching a moronic fanbase to pay for a dadrock guitar.
If he gave a shit about playing and recording he'd play whatever works wherever he could record it. He clearly just wants a nice toy. Own it. His 'audience' isn't going to hear the 'hand oiled tone woods' of his midlife crisis.

too fucking bad. he said himself, he has multiple other guitars
-
He's probably got money but he is just trying to use his "instafamily" to pick up the tab...He's got a pro truck on Destructo - that's basically printing money. He should have went the respectable route and just signed his name on everything possible and put it on eBay(looking at you chief).
-
If all you Negative Ned’s and Nancy’s shut the fuck up and sent the man some money, he’d be halfway to the guitar of his dreams by now.
I kind of get a little warm and giddy inside thinking about how his face is going to light up when he finally gets that guitar.
-
Before there was Forest, there was this twat.
That’s a stretch of a connection.
My childhood friend, who I love due to tenure, text me the other day and said he might live with Bastien as he was looking for a room mate. I thought it would be either serendipity or hell that two narcissistic musicians would live together.

What’s the top 5 of skaters that lost their grip on reality due to childhood skateboarding fame (money and drugs too, of course) and attempted and failed to live the rock and roll dream
1) Jereme Rogers- quit at his peak to start a musical career with no talent. Constantly lambasts fans online. Lost all his money but flaunts an ‘LA’ lifestyle via social media.
2) Bastien Salabanzi- Kooked himself out of sponsors at his peak, supposedly due to egotistical and unreasonable tendencies. Ended up on kart- Europe’s biggest joke before getting a pity board on primitive.
Wants to be a successful musician but hasn’t made it yet.
3)?
4)?
5) “I was sex and drugs, she thought she was rock and roll”- Ragdoll on hooking up with Avril Lavigne.
Despite having absolutely no place in the pro ranks, Ragdoll secures a pay check and an enjoyable lifestyle due to the early 2000’s skate industry cash influx due to the popularity of tony hawk’s pro skater and MTV friendly pop-punk.
It’s not all ties over tee shirts and checkerboard vans though, ragdoll revealed he ended up a bulimic with a colostomy bag.

Dooley: obviously he was the first that came into my head but I think ham is exempt as skateboarding played a part in his rise to fame but he was a genuine celebrity of rock star levels for a long time. Although he has fallen the hardest I don’t think it’s from demos to skatepark kids, it’s signing autographs outside cinemas and Hollywood parties.
Watson: I thought about braydon too but I don’t think his ego has blown to wild proportions to the point of mental illness. He’s attempted to segue rather ungracefully into the next tier of LA fame but I wouldn’t say he became mentally ill due to his ego. Perhaps the same for ragdoll and I was just picking on him for being a tool...
Cuban lynx: spot on. Keenan definitely has to be in that list.

I bet the deal with primitive he has is that he gets paid basically nothing (if anything at all) except commission on what few boards he does actually sell. That way he has no. Pressure to turn in footage cos they just press up a small amount of boards with his name on just for the lols.

Maybe he’s just skinny ‘cause his body’s diverting all the nutrients it gets from food into growing those huge, gosh forsaken balls of his.

Last I checked, he got his testicles fixed. It did require a gofundme, but he managed to successfully arrange surgery for less than the cost of an ugly, beat up Fender, so that’s kinda nice.

I hate to talk shit about another man’s art but you don’t need an $8000 guitar to make post-jack johnson rock. Especially when we’re living in a golden age of cheap, quality guitars.

Before there was Forest, there was this twat.
That’s a stretch of a connection.
My childhood friend, who I love due to tenure, text me the other day and said he might live with Bastien as he was looking for a room mate. I thought it would be either serendipity or hell that two narcissistic musicians would live together.
This adult man-child needs a roommate; presumably because he can not pay his rent on his own... and he's asking strangers on instagram for $8000 to buy a fucking guitar? What a clown.

What’s the top 5 of skaters that lost their grip on reality due to childhood skateboarding fame (money and drugs too, of course) and attempted and failed to live the rock and roll dream
1) Jereme Rogers- quit at his peak to start a musical career with no talent. Constantly lambasts fans online. Lost all his money but flaunts an ‘LA’ lifestyle via social media.
2) Bastien Salabanzi- Kooked himself out of sponsors at his peak, supposedly due to egotistical and unreasonable tendencies. Ended up on kart- Europe’s biggest joke before getting a pity board on primitive.
Wants to be a successful musician but hasn’t made it yet.
3)?
4)?
5) “I was sex and drugs, she thought she was rock and roll”- Ragdoll on hooking up with Avril Lavigne.
Despite having absolutely no place in the pro ranks, Ragdoll secures a pay check and an enjoyable lifestyle due to the early 2000’s skate industry cash influx due to the popularity of tony hawk’s pro skater and MTV friendly pop-punk.
It’s not all ties over tee shirts and checkerboard vans though, ragdoll revealed he ended up a bulimic with a colostomy bag.
Help me fill in the blanks guys.
Darrell Stanton might have a place on this list

Last time I was in Vegas, my homie told me that rag doll got elephantitis or the shit wherever your nuts turn the size of grape fruits and can’t skate anymore due to complications. Someone please confirm. Yall that shit on ragdoll never understood him. Dude is a fucking legend and y’all are kooks for dogging a great.
Edit: ragdoll is like if you took Ben K, K Rod, and Aiden and threw em into a blender, and gave them way more talent on a skateboard.
Rag doll sucks and Aiden is sweet.

Another possible solution: he could do something to severely damage his hearing - he'd lose the ability to tell the difference between an 8k guitar and a $200 one, plus he could maintain his dignity and proudly say he never panhandled on the internet. Problem solved.
Or he could take out a loan like the rest of America does when they desperately want something they cant afford.

I recall years ago about a crazy Bastien history. Long story short is that he donated a bunch of money to some African tribe, said tribe made him honorary member and gave him some "powers". Bastien thought he was indestructible so to prove it he jumped from the 4th floor of a hotel or sth like that. You can guess the outcome of all of this.

I get the whole aged wood has better tone argument, but for someone in Bastien's position with a kid and a dwindling pro skate career, is blowing 8k on a relic tele really the best use of that money? Starting a college gofund for his kid might be the more responsible way to abuse his fame. I doubt he could blind tell the difference in sound between a recent USA tele and this old beast either way.

Bastien ego story:
A french friend told me a story years back about Bastien:
There was some vans funded comp in France where the skaters were divided into teams and and the winner was chosen by a sum of the whole teams scores. Bastien skated very well but the rest of his team didn’t cut it and as a result his team didn’t win the comp. there was a congratulatory champagne bottle at the judges table and when finding out he lost Bastien smashed the bottle on the table and threatened the judge, a vans employee, swearing and shouting that he would have him fired and he would never work for vans again.
I always thought it sounded insane but completely believable. I don’t suppose anyone could corroborate the story?

I always thought it sounded insane but completely believable. I don’t suppose anyone could corroborate the story?
Haven't heard that story in particular but many a similar one so I wouldn't be surprised, back in the day Bastien's contest or demo antics were always hot topics, he would regularly show up under influence of stuff and do wild shit. My two favorite stories are the one where he showed up too coked up to land a trick on a park rail, so he logically started talking to the rail, first threatening it then trying to bribe it with handfuls of cash into letting him do his trick (?), that's with a whole crowd watching; and also the one where he showed up to a demo he really had nothing to do with uninvited (I think an éS, DVS or V7 demo? it was over fucking fifteen years ago) just to show everyone up, from which he got kicked out of. Looking back at that time period, it feels like every skater in France had a crazy Bastien story at some point that really didn't help paint him in a good light.
To this day though, I feel bad for him about that 'lost part' of his. Dude was so good on a skateboard it took a good ten years for all the pioneering shit he had filmed in the mid 00's to ever see the light of the day, like the whole industry camped on those clips until they'd have lost most of their relevance. Had that avant-garde part come out in due time instead of getting all tangled up in industry shit, I'm sure it would have impacted skateboarding a lot more than it eventually did ten years too late. Wouldn't be surprised if living with that mistake equaled hell for Bastien. In a way, by keeping that footage hostage for a decade, companies basically chose to hinder the potential of skating's progression just because it wouldn't directly benefit them; now business is business, but from the skaters' perspective that just screams disconnection and kind of sucks.
To this day, Adrien Bulard keeps the flame alive by (getting caught) stealing whole Red Bull fridges from indoor skateparks at contests (as well as the leftover beer at parties). Got kicked out of and banned from the FISE last year as well, for a reason I would actually love to get the chance to hear in detail (an article I had written on the dude eventually never came out because of that last minute ban).

that's true the parts for guitar pedals are ridiculously cheap and there are so many schematics shared onilne. you don't need a fancy soldering iron to start either. there are cheap ones for like $10 that will work. can be frustrating though i haven't messed around with that stuff in a minute.

When the GAS strikes, you’ll do anything to figure out how to get the piece of gear you have in the crosshairs.
A go fund me thereby seems like a logical move that point, so who cares and best of luck if someone wants to buy anyone a guitar.
It would be awesome to see Bastien win a Grammy or something funny like be on the Voice, or even do a Skaterock gig or play some skate function.

Showed up at Bercy one day, in a suit and trilby, two guitars, no board. Asks to borrow my friends board, does a really gnarly line on the blocks not missing any tricks (can’t remember em off the top of my head but was definitely impressed and there was a really good kickflip back tail in there). Hands my friend his board back and says “that board feels like it has cancer.”

I already served quite the two-platter just earlier but in moments of doubt, just rewatch this (I've probably posted that clip in every Bastien thread):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9s1PPgX9k6M
My favorite part is when the filmer tries to give someone else a chance at 1:26 then immediately reverts back to Bastien.
Adrien Bulard (El Toro back tail dude) used to puke his guts out on the course at every contest during every single of his runs, probably did so for a good one or two-year span. Occasionally he'd puke at the bottom of the obstacle he was skating and still go back for his trick even if that meant slipping out in his own puke. Back in the day a friend of mine skated a contest in Nantes and actually broke his arm there due to slipping out on Bulard's puke. For a while, if you looked up "adrien bulard" on YouTube, at least here the top suggestion to show up in search was "adrien bulard vomit" because of clips like this (I've posted this one before too but it's a performance art classic):

He was a notorious crazy ass weed smoker at the time (every prize money he'd win would entirely go straight to weed as soon as the contest was over, and he won literally every contest in the country for a good two years), I think to the point where he started getting health issues so my (wild) guess is that was related. If the dude used to go out of his way to steal Red Bull fridges from skateparks, it's probably not too far off to imagine he used to be pretty braindead regarding self care, probably due to focusing on nothing but skateboarding.

Thanks Silhouette! I remember skating in Bercy when I was really young and no internet or whatever in my house then getting amazed by that young (around my age) black guy that wasn't missing a single trick and skating reaaally wide boards for the time (I think he must have been riding 8.3 or something which at the start of 2000s was kinda big). Then I saw flip sorry and I realized who he was!

Now that you bring it up, I think there were interviews of the guy in French mags back in the 00's that kind of addressed that, or it might be that I used to skate his hometown an awful lot back when he was blowing up and it was a widespread fact known by the locals back when they all had his name on their lips, honestly can't remember. Basically, he was said to have a (now diagnosed? fuck if I know) mental condition of some kind, and had been using huge amounts of weed to self-medicate from an early age. I feel like mental health awareness is something that's quite recent in this country (at least outside of major poles like Paris) and a lot of people from even recent past generations just didn't have access to better means of relief; Rouen is a pretty big city but also in a section of the country that's pretty rural. Whatever works best for him, I hope he can find it.
Bastien's board sizes were something else back in the day, yeah. Actually it was one of the first things I remember bringing some awareness to the fact that pros actually skated wider boards than the models sold in skateshops (supposedly weaker, because narrower) a lot. At one point I think he was on 8'4's or 8'6''s back when everyone was still on 7'75''s, an article or two covering that came out and I remember a lot of people instantly experimenting with wider boards (at a time when 8' was called a 'vert board'). I also did it (never went back) and remember all my friends on 7'5' Monkey Stix's were legit scared for me.
Article I wrote was some rose-tinted shit for a mainstream publication, I can send it to you if you like but honestly even my dumb ramblings in here might be more interesting, that's saying.

what's with the shitty 360 flip attempts?
-
always liked his switch heels.
-
^^ Used to be his shtick at contests for a good handful of years, for a while here he was known at the skatepark yo flip guy. He was in quite early on that shitty trend and would also exaggerate it to the max, also with 360 shoves, almost making it look like a different trick sometimes. I always hated forced tricks like that and that's a major reason why I could never really get into his skating in the first place, but at the time everyone in this country was riding his dick for those like he was some kind of stank-legged savior to the point where I honestly considered whether or not I was losing my mind for a bit (but no, it's the kids who are wrong). Seeing him do those in person was fucked up though, like as much as you hated it and for a copious amount of reasons, he still had a certain way of doing it with nonchalance that stood out and made you shut up about it despite that (or maybe because) he was looking like a Playmobil figure in soap shoes doing something technically bananas. He'd do those tricks like that down a lot of huge spots at the time as well, whenever it was time to get on a 'street mission'. Accomplished some sick stuff but always kind of made it look like rollerblading to me if that makes sense, probably doesn't.
Yo silhouette what’s the deal with fridge and beer stealing? He got caught? What’s the story behind all that?
Don't really have much detail myself and honestly I don't care about skate gossip all that much, but yeah he got caught both times, there's some stuff regarding that floating around on IG such as on the 'fan page' account I posted earlier.

The only super expensive guitar I’d invest in, is the Rory Ghallagher signature strat remake.
If I had to pay $15 or $20 a month for years, that’d be ok.
But who wants to worry about watching after a guitar that expensive, at a gig or leaving it in your car after.
800 is a reasonable limit. I paid 900 euros for a second hand Musicman bass that I absolutely love and it makes me nervous to bring it to some places. So I bought a beater, a 200 euros gig bass (my 3rd axe).
Anyways, as for Bastien, well.... I saw him skate the Montpellier Attitude contest when he was 12 and totally unknown. He was tiny, hardly missed anything already and made top 10 with the likes of Moses Itkonen and Alan Petersen. Honestly I dont know how my ego would have handled shit like that at 12! It's almost on a Michael Jackson level of growing up too fast.

Well, seems like he got the guitar and didn't set up a gofundme after all. Wonder if he got donations or if f.ex primitive stepped up and paid for it. He's also been promoting some random belt, hat and sunglasses companies on insta. No word on auctioning his other guitars for kids in Africa yet though

I'm pretty sure the guitars he's posting are not the holy grail telecaster that he wanted his fans to buy him. It must have slipped away before he could get the money together.
I highly suggest checking out his instagram stories right now though to listen to him narrate over some white dad blues.

Mental issues unfortunately.
He was brought back to France by his brother because of that, I met in a music gig in his hometown. Hope the best for him
