In my experience when people get serious about guitar the skating goes because they start to worry about their hands and don't want to fall on them anymore.

It's true. I happened to do it the other way around - I quit guitar for a few years so I could quit worrying about fucking up my hands and just skate hard. I wish I hadn't done that. Now I don't give a fuck and do both. And now I gig regularly with my band, but somehow skate better than ever. Lost my kickflips, though. Funny how it all works out.

Overall, it was a dumb decision. Bastien will eventually grow up and discover that if he loves to do both, then he can and should do both.

rowley was saying in that interview he'd be the best if he got off the haze or something, sounds more like weed though

flip won't kick people off 'cause of weed
everyone(well a lot of skaters etc.) smokes weed so it's not a big deal..you just might be a little lazy but that's it...

i honestly cant believe every one on here.

fuck this kid, he's a super talent, big deal.

he seems like a completely self centered asshole.

skating doesnt need him.

let him cheer for himself after he plays a good chord. at least then he'll most likely be by himself in his room.

What an awesome thread! So much rumor speculation! From it I have read that he takes coke, heroine, xanax, weed, and meth. He prostitutes himself (I know that was a joke...) so he can conquer the world as a guitar hero, which has become so important to him that he has quit skating so that he won't fall on his hands. He was never very good anyways, and the thing he will be remembered by most is his self-cheering and the only tricks he can do are cab flips.


The fact is, he, like every little kid who's been in the game from Nyjah Huston to MIke Carroll, is being hated on for succeeding at a young age. Jealous little bitches try to pick him  apart and simplify him. He does stick to a few tricks that he does quite a bit, but so does Andrew Reynolds, and everybody is on his nuts so hard. The kid was talented as fuck, I don't care how many cab flips you do, if you can do one into a boardslide on a rail its fucking impressive. He has a decent set of tricks, many of which most pros don't do that much (cab flips, big spin flips, etc.) I always took the self cheering as a sign of immaturity, but guess what? He's a kid. Kids are immature by definition.
Are you a kook? If you would say this, the answer is “YES”
I quit skating for a time due to piling out

He's doing a Penny/Guy. He'll carry on skating come back in a year or so and everyone will be hangin off his nuts.

totally waiting for someone to say that especially with the reynolds thing because its so true. and it is easier to use one of your saftey tricks down something but when your saftey trick is a cab flip, common now. how many people can say there saftey trick is a cab flip.

"At the population level, elimination of cannabis use would reduce the incidence of schizophrenia by approximately 8%, assuming a causal relationship. Cannabis use appears to be neither a sufficient nor a necessary cause for psychosis."

so if you developed schizophrenia and you smoked a lot of weed there was a 92% chance that you would have anyways had you not smoked

I'll disagree on calling Reynolds out, and Bastien. They both have the craziest tricks and both do so much different shit down so many different things...What trick has Reynolds not done down something big in a video part? Sure at a Demo the Frontside flip or Bastiens Cab flip gets the attention, but they both kill it so hard. Claiming they only have a few tricks is ignorant.

quit that weed/schizophrenia talk
It has nothing to do with this bastien case...

Bastien did/still does hard drugs and flip couldn't deal with it and kicked him out.

maybe he's pulling a jason lee and taking a break from professional skateboarding to pursue other interests i.e. guitar playing

Maybe he doesn't love skating anymore though, might be over it. But I havn't read the interview so don't listen to me.
