I thought it was known that Flip made up a lot of rumors in an attempt to blackball him from the industry because he didn't wanna kf backlip el toro or whatever.

Nobody gets kicked off anything for smoking crack.
bastien got fucked by a couple white boys w/ no vaseline.
they lied on him and w/held his video part for a decade or so til lots of people had caught up and he couldn't style on them hoes.
i'm glad they're letting him have a 2nd act.
Although it's probably too controversial for their target audience, I wish they would have touched that. Seeing not just Bastien's career, but the culture as a whole (because Bastien really was in the process of writing history at the time) sabotaged by the industry just because of the sponsors' interests was one of the first things to ever really bum me out on it. Naive young me was really bummed nobody would somehow leak that bit of general progression.
I was pleasantly surprised by how articulate Bastien is now. He has come a long way since the wildness of his early days. Come to think of his old ego trips under the light shed by this episode on his upbringing, I understand them a lot better now. Always thought he was a showman. I never expected him to be that much of a skate nerd either, he seems really passionate and liked to go in-depth about tricks and mental processes. Loved that.
My brain is numb to hearing "the Sorry video" ever again.
Chris Roberts is picture perfect for the job, but way too much.
