Ham would probably be #1.

Ham is the only skater who actually succeeded in living the rock and roll dream. Had a longer and crazier run than pretty much any musician or TV personality.

But he definitely lost touch with reality long ago.

[Stephens Lawyer]

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.

Maybe not #1, but Ham definitely belongs somewhere on the list. I see what you mean, though - he did maintain his sanity through many good years.

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 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".

Also ‘by’

[Windsor Knot]

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.

I don’t fully understand waiting 4 years for a relic tele. If it’s from the custom shop couldn’t get just order one?

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.

i heard ragdoll suffered from anorexia, last time i saw him he looked skinny as fuck

[Lou Strux]

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.
Betcha nobody ever tells him to “nut up & quit complaining” about his junk; the poor, emaciated, giant sack having guy. Ouch.

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.

[Microforrest]

Ill pay every penny if he releases that battle commander that was supposed to come out a year or two ago.

Damn P Rod donating Primitive’s money away to others while Bastien suffers without his guitar

He had an impressive 7 second part in the latest Primitive video

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.

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.

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.

[Stephens Lawyer]

Then he'd have to pay for it though

Why pay for it when you are delusional about your fame and think you still have enough fans that would for something you don’t really need. If I recall his ego has been an issue before hasn’t it?

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.
