I can only speak for myself, but I feel like for people who grew up on the Sorry video and the subsequent iterations, Bastien was THE guy. His parts from like 15+ years ago still hold up today.

[@BoomstickGaming]

That FS boardslide was one of the most "this is how skateboarding actually is...." things of all time. Sometimes, the spot wins.

[@civilenggggg]

BRO fr, that battle was amazing to see

[@hydroloco5132]

the spirit of skateboarding claps back when you overestimate yourself and underestimate a spot edit: this comment is not to detract from how amazing that series of clips was. truly breathtaking

[@Rufusdos]

He came so close too. Showed amazing resilience to keep at it as long as he did.

[@deaconhemp]

It could have been a my war.

[@Just_me_training]

shit spot and shit filming anyways tbh

[@artdudivin]

Bastien Salabanzi's Flip parts are a piece of skateboarding History..

[@Diggsy90]

The little bounce adjustment he does right before popping every trick is fuckin iconic at this point

[@Flippy]

Absolute legend, that backside double flip was immaculate.

[@robbglow]

Made me 😳 and I was surprised by the big flip perfection.

[@mlombardo9]

SO SICK! not my fav trick but that was muah

[@raichu56k]

hi flippy

[@saltybastardgaming5603]

below average

[@stixluccinni8030]

Bruhhhhh that was fucking sick. trick of the year shit... bro did a fakie backside 180 double flip to boardslide down the rail 🙄🤯😎 DAMN!!!!!!!

[@MonkeyDWoofy]

Man I looked up to this guy so much as a kid, when I saw that kick flip down the stairs and he landed cross legged I was hooked, he’s really been crushing for years, such style, sorry! :D

[@6thsenseimages]

That was the moment, we all knew, THIS GUY!

[@HsvPeavey]

I couldn’t have said it better my self!

[@jacobsmith3526]

Kick flip pretzel

[@OfficialMyMindset]

He needs to do this again its his signature move lol

[@Raphsk8]

Nuff said

[@Tom_Swiss]

Every man can learn from the dedication of skateboarders.

[@DirtySk8RatStaney]

Dude straight threw himself at that gap to front board… like that’s determination

[@8369378]

Man, I remember when he was a kid breaking thru on Flip. Still ruling.

[@jerrywilsonn8837]

These rough cuts really make you appreciate the skating. Bastien is insane!

[@MoDuncanjr]

Exactly bro!!!! That’s the raw for of what people don’t see!!! They see the makes!!!

[@Peoples13]

Probably my favorite skater of all ⏲️

[@RandomCarGuy_]

I live for rough cuts

[@TrizollinTehWorld]

They're my fav way to watch skating. Makes it feel more real and not like every skater is a robot that does everything perfectly.

[@egyptianpiffin]

Legit….the absolute best content on thrasher.

[@nikomarttinen98]

To be honest. Back in his prime he was so far ahead of everybody

[@robadzso]

So true brother!

[@dirtyunderpants]

i love how supportive the camera mans is, gnarly tricks too. fuckin banger

[@ksteneide2]

@Daniel Hollingsworth I was going into the street before filming each try to make sure the coast was clear.

[@VZ3W]

Younger generation don't realize just how long this legend has been absolutely tearing it up

[@danwill515]

is he 43?

[@Jacobunny]

The sound of that switch double heel @ 20:51 is magic! 😍

[@enriquemartincastro274]

The way he safe fall and he stand up again in the front board is art

[@emiliend.3616]

I remember a contest in Marseille. Bastien was 14. Speaker called him for the children contest. He said: "No, I'm competing with the adults". Then he won the contest landing everything first try all day long. So much talent in this little guy at that age... Then he wrote history we know. Bravo Bastien pour ton parcours ! Tu es un génie ;)

[@cupboard_raider]

Bastien falls like a pro. I envy his prowess in the art of the slam

[@ramdoula506]

23mn of Bastien and his cameraman being wholesome to each other xD gotta love this !

[@KraYarK]

Been watching him since the Flip Sorry days...I grew up watching him shred.

[@WorldWideSk8boarding]

When I was 13 I saw Jake Phelps & Benny Fairfax skating at the same spot as me in Moscow. I thought Benny was Bastien Salabanzi.. and i told Jake Phelps “hey im a huge fan & i love Bastiens part in sorry” he replied “thats benny fairfax kid” and told me to feel free to sit down and chill with them He was catcalling hot russian girls passing by, chilling, talking to me, making jokes and asking me about my home country. All while we were watching Benny Fairfax absolutely kill it at the spot we were at. One of the best days ive ever had as a skater. This was like 15years ago, i will never forget that day.

[@ksteneide2]

That's a great story!!

[@vampiregypsy8403]

Such a Legend ...Still killing it styles for miles!!!

[@Jeremyramone]

Dang I was hoping he d get that gap front board. All time legend, thank you.

[@sebastianmayer8271]

also massive props to the filmer....he seems super hyped on the makes even if it sometimes took many tries and doesn't seem to give "pressure" .Great support

[@theForrestGalantey]

Probably hyped to work with such an amazing legend in Bastien.

[@therealwewin]

He messed up the angle on the last clip. Ruined it kinda

[@ksteneide2]

@@therealwewin What can I do to film it better next time? I would love some constructive criticism.

[@therealwewin]

@@ksteneide2 you had a good angle at first but switched over too close to the rail. Should've had another filmer to cover the other angle I suppose.

[@therealwewin]

@@ksteneide2 I also would've tried to convince Bastian to land to fakie as well. Double the angles.

[@19hibbityjibbity19]

Dude filming is a beautiful human being

[@dannybucheit7862]

Love how much patience the filter give and how supportive he is

[@santosjohnson6401]

this reminds you how hard skateboarding actually is lol.. I love that they kept almost every failure in in this because it feels that much more gratifying when he lands it

[@5PercentTint]

It’s pretty motivational 🥲

[@88theobalds]

Flip sorry was hands down the most mind blowing part I have seen

[@nephimcknight5832]

Still one of my favorites to watch, all these years later. Mad respect 🙏

[@exploremoreoutdoors]

Most supportive filmer in history.

[@stusux]

That switch double heel is some sweet asmr for skaters. Listen to the flips.

[@debomb721]

I love how him and his filmer get so hyped on the lands

[@chrisXjosi]

One of the best skaters alive. His trick portfolio speaks for it self. Nobody does the bigflips like him. Bigflips are a big stepup to 360 Flip and to improve them on lock like he does is next level. Also the double kickflip variations. Still next level this guy to the standards of todays skateboarding. And his wasnt constandly surrounding in america during his career. Its even harder to hold the level and improve it, when you have to do so much life-things beside skateboarding. Much love 🖤

[@Therealav]

Absolutely inspiring.

[@jimgrude]

The only problem with this video is that it's only 23 minutes long. I could watch this all day

[@upstateplumbing9995]

a legend putting in so much work. fucking killing it..... a true og

[@Dezzy1293]

The camaraderie and effort in this video is what makes my out of shape ass want to get out there and try to get back to where I was

[@ksteneide2]

Get there Jose! Stoked you liked the video!

[@codyclark2780]

An incredible level of swagger to keep going after getting bodied that many times. Love the pride 🔥

[@alvinomaciel3240]

Yo forreal! I use to watch him back in the day and seeing him now doing the shit he did like 10 years ago, especially when he killed Tampa am back in the day

[@johnm3946]

These rough cuts always make me think about the consequences of not landing. Pro skaters are underrated.

[@CarlZeissTotal]

Please can we start calling the Cab kickflip, the Salabanzi Flip!?

[@zachdank]

gap to front board at bastiens age = absolute savage. Insane respect for this man and his determination

[@skateboardkef]

This man had me literally screaming “what are you even thinking!?!?” at my screen the whole video! My gawd!

[@dr.moviecase8606]

Am I the only one who here the rotation of his board😳 Bastien rules forever 💪

[@daveskatesallday]

legend, seeing his part in flip sorry a trillion times and still seeing him kill it today is inspiring!

[@sh4rku5]

holy shit he’s still ripping. i love his attack style so much

[@GRAELskt]

Shout out to Bastien and his filmer! Gold clips! 💯

[@Rigg15]

all amazing but the crazy switch slide whatever over the bike lock was brilliant.

[@destructo3915]

wonder what hes been doing for money since flip. its amazing seeing these old pros still caring enough to skate at pro level so long after their careers end. i remember back in the day i used to watch his part on repeat then go skating.

[@kylealmorabi4273]

What a legend

[@Calitmc]

Love this. Nice to too see guys with legendary parts still battle like the rest of us. Generals in the field

[@joshuablackwell8230]

Rough cuts are the best way to watch skateboarding, sometimes things can look a bit effortless in a part. But when you see how sketchy some of the attempts can be the makes just hit way harder. Bastien's Really Sorry part is still my favourite, was streaks ahead at the time. To this day everything he does on a board looks so crisp.

[@christianarnold2984]

Duuuuude! Bastien is a WARRIOR... the gap to front board he almost got - I could feel his pain!

[@juiceboxjigga]

the fact that he still getting bangers!

[@aubreyonthemove]

I love to see the process, the slams, pain and agony to finally rolling away from the trick. Legend!

[@andreself225]

my favorite skater from 01 days

[@brucewayne2027]

Hard work & Pure skill

[@markwarne5049]

Wow after all these years that was beautiful skating!

[@Simonisms]

No wonder the cameraman was so hyped cos most of that was absolutely bonkers 💪💪💪

[@NinoBone]

This is probably my favorite uncut, slams and makes are unreal, legend

[@johnolin]

A true legend

[@Bravewhales]

Those gap to front board tries were fucking gnarly as fuck 😳 such a LEGEND 🙌🏿

[@bravotipo9037]

best european pro ever? possibly, anyway one of my favourite. this guy is 36 yo goddamn it and has been killing it for more than 20 years. impressive!

[@Insektenstich]

Yes Dude, that was so good!

[@jigawatt7126]

Camera man keeping his spirit up, love it!. Great skating too, keep it up!

[@andreagiacomuzzo5810]

I remember him in SORRY with the presentation of Johnny Rotten! GASPIENO!

[@aaramsayr]

Legend

[@justinc22443]

One of the greatest of all time

[@rijpmajohan]

Love the B-roll footage of these high speed, high energy, technical lines. Besides all his crazy NBD hammers throughout the years these type of lines is what made his parts really stand out to me in terms of style and power.

[@edreedson]

What a legend. Great video

[@leonneldayoc5715]

This is what makes skateboarding special the perseverance and dedication. Sometimes having to watch one try line or tricks are not fun to watch no offense to the consistent pro or ams. But watching the war on every tricks is so satisfying to watch. How i wish there was a rough cut videos for the Flip team back in the days.

[@alvinomaciel3240]

Always killing, straight fire love this guy!

[@bakeraus]

style for days! Always been amazing

[@beyourownplug]

He had some of the sickest Vans of all time! Loved skating in them.

[@powpow50cal24]

the sound of the bearings on the double flip makes me younger every time i rewind 🎉 @20:49

[@dontcallmegus]

I love the way he uses his front foot for big flips!

[@ghostpopper3320]

Bastian, You are my 1 favorite on The Earth! 🌎

[@Kaje05]

Bro, that gap to front board was a battle! Respect Bastien 🙏

[@jimdowling8427]

He is soooo good. Best man

[@dj9savy]

Crazy respect to this dude. Hes 35 in this video skating like a 20 year old!

[@LonnieHutchinson90]

I love these videos more than the edit I love seeing the battles it really puts it into perspective

[@schaeffercarroll6070]

I had Bas blue and black vans off the wall back in the day one of my favourite shoes too this day

[@aquino1836]

That Variel flip to fs crook was hard and clean af

[@StayK]

14:46 that varial flip nosegrind !

[@920israel]

Great skating, great filmer, perfect combo.

[@Telesgoooo]

This is humbling af seeing someone this good work so hard for the clips I'm gonna get one today now 🤣

[@schwinnbike18]

[@pudabear4765]

bro i remember watching this man back in the day. those battles were epic

[@ph10silva39]

OG Bastien

[@c-notethelastgreatest4298]

The varial flip crook grind was clean is hell

[@zezuntxiduntxi]

Such a beast. Gotta love him.

[@robadzso]

Was very happy to see him coming around, I do remember him from the times he appeared as one of the most talented mostly riding at European contests. He was a true beast, a raw talent even then! How old is he now? Because whatever his age, he is still superhuman! Mind blowing what punishment he can power through, he still has it and a good chunk more! Truly inspirational. Thank you Bastien and Thrasher!

[@keully6]

That's what I call a fucking war! Beast Salabanzi.

[@ResidentMockery]

Enuf to keep me hyped. 👍🏼👍🏼

one of the best styles in skateboarding history.

[@valentinoescobar7029]

2:50 the sound of the doble heel so cool

[@jwalker2906]

I cannot believe he struggled that hard on a FRONT BOARDSLIDE at the beginning. I was most certain he was skating switch but he wasn't. I love Bastien! Legend! I just have to wonder why he couldn't put down that gap front board!?? Like whaaaaat.. I have to know what was giving him such a problem.

[@zeljkokrajcer523]

Yhea ,La pure inspiratiin! lost soul generation killin it. Bluzin bro .

[@cyanure93]

le meilleur tout simplement, legendaire.
