it's ridiculous how ahead of his time this dude was, his parts still hold up to this day almost 20 years later
Right?
I was just thinking the same thing. This part could have come out now and people would have flipped(no pun intended).
Exato!
and it will hold at least 20 thousand years more

Thank u thrasher
Thank to all the filmers
Thank Bastien !!!
We Old Heads need this
For real! Early 2000’s flip was one of my favorite teams at the time.
His name is not Bastian.
@@autentyk5735 oh sorry mr spelling champion , edited it for u and ur feelings
This Mind I'm with you bro, Bastien IS/WAS a legend! Just think about how long ago this was and it's not dated at all. Ridiculous.
Man us new heads need this as well!
This definitely motivated my 33-year-old ass to skate again, this era of skateboarding was awesome
You said it. Time to lose this gut by skating again.
I skate at least once a week
So true man, miss these days really bad, skating before and after school
Feels so weird skating in ur 30's. u see dudes ur age walking around w/ a suit and tie looking important, and i'm still riding my board trying to learn a trick while destroying property lmao.
Ishod wair is 33.
You watch this and you understand why he was so known as confident and "cocky". The dude oozes genuine confidence. Everything is done so fast, flicked so hard, so damn confident! Its not even a "stuntman" hucking type of confidence. Its a genuine, I have complete control over my body and board natural confidence that is impossible to fake. Geoff had good taste. Bastien will always be a favorite
Seeing the footy it's obvious it was also just his sense of humor. I remember there being stuff out there about him being cocky, but I can see he was just being genuine instead of putting on some front of doing what you're supposed to do to be cool. Because that's how people really skate with their friends, when they're just skating and having fun. All that cool posturing is just as cocky, because not acknowledging your own prowess is how everybody knows you're supposed to do it if you're am or pro. He didn't have to do that. He's just goofing around doing all the shit everybody else wished they could do, and driving them crazy with that, no doubt. Every crew has that dude, and we all loved that dude. He's really skating for his friends, who just so happened to be under the microscope of the whole skate world. I think that one contest where everybody thought he was being cocky he was really showing love for the skateboarding community. I don't see anything narcissistic about it; there's certain dudes who have it like that.
The thing that bothers me is that it seems maybe that stigma had a negative effect on his career. I remember seeing a bunch of unreleased footy recently that should have come out a long time ago, proper, but it never did for like ten years. Like a whole part or something, totally mind-blowing shit. I'm pretty sure I'm not tripping, but I can't remember if that's exactly correct.
Not to say anything negative about him, but some of his former team mates have more or less said that he became a total pain in the ass at some point and that nobody had any patience to deal with that. He also lost most of his sponsors pretty much around the same time. Skating wasn't as big a business back then as it is today, so no matter how good you were, you were essentially replacable. However, I remember reading an interview with him where he said that he wanted to pursue a second career as a guitar player and that his sponsors didn't like that idea too much, so make of it what you will. I mean, today you have guys like Tyshawn straight up saying that they'd rather be on the cover of vogue than on the cover of thrasher and people are cool with it, so things have definitely changed since then.
you seem to know your bastien history..... although to be honest ive always saw him as super genuine and humble while enjoying joking around and being funny......?
@@whiplashchild7388 I think this is partially true yes, but also, his sponsors (mostly Flip) were pushing him to go bigger all the time and he said it wasn’t what he was comfortable with. He didn’t want to risk his life skating 20 stairs, he wanted to skate with friends. So I guess a bit of both.
@@whiplashchild7388 I remember him saying that he was forced to stay with the Flip team for nearly a decade. All the road trips, the demos, the skating together took it's toll. He wasn't allowed to go back to France to see his family for 8 years, I think it was. That probably played a big part in him wanting to move onto other things. Dude is a legend imo. Shame on Flip for trying to blacklist him and with holding his footage after he was kicked.
Full speed, make or break was always Bastien's style. One of the gnarliest street skaters to ever live.
Indeed, always 100% commitment to every attempt. He was "full send" before "full send" was a thing :-)
I hope they release an Arto & Geoff retrospective next.
favorite era of skateboarding. euro flip crew early 2000's. best shit ever.
that was my 3 Favorites back in the days, Bastien, Geoff and Arto! But yeah Bastien was riding for Flip my favorite kind of board, he was doing some of the most beautiful kickflip, so much style and he is french like me, i can only be a fan after all this years!
Yes please
luv watchin b-sides of arto or geoff. those dudes make not landing tricks entertaining asl
@@gurpchirp Yes!! Absolutely Best time of Skateboarding! So good!
Back in 2004 at macba everybody stop skating to watch bastien destroing the spot,Epic time!
Who remembers all the Jonny Rotten intros?
“Bastien (BASTIOOOOOOON) Salabanzi, he’s originally from the Congo but he’s passing himself off as french at the moment” LOL I need to dig it out and watch again soon
One of the best skate videos of all time 👌... You conquer your board your board didn't conquer you 😬
Yes! I was hoping someone would mention that. The intro for Boulala was funny as hell too.
@@jrmizzgaminglounge yeahhh ✌️
@@jrmizzgaminglounge ali. bouyaya
Apparently he’s as good as Tom penny
Been watching his sorry part consistently for the last twenty years. Dude was ahead of his time without a doubt.
The Jimi Hendrix of skateboarding
Damn! I watched the Sorry video about 3 times a day in those days
Its mind-blowing just how good he is, especially in tht era. He had an insane bag of tricks.
I feel like he should have been a SOTY somewhere along the early 2000’s.
@@moldyrefrigerator i think he was on his way until whatever behind the scenes stuff transpired between him and his sponsors
Put him in the hall of fame of skateboarding. Dudes a legend. His style, flip tricks, tech, ledges, switch, rails. This man did it all. Thank you bastien and thrasher for blessing us with this footage
I can't believe he tried to kf back lip wilshire. insane
I'm very glad Thrasher is putting out all this Bastien footage bc kids today may not even know the genius that he is. Plus nostalgia overload! I remember almost every single one of those tricks... what a gift
Just admit it Bastien was way ahead of his time god damn! Still one of the best to this day.. The good old days before skateboarding became a fucking trendy social media thing 🙄
making me so nostalgic. loved this era of flip. gets me hyped
Ahead of his time. The whole flip team in general
Appleyard is still one of my favourites
Bastiens the best of all time Jesus Christ
He is. The jimi hendrix of skateboarding
I dunno about anyone else, but this era of videos will always make me feel something that today’s video parts can’t.
I met bastion about six years ago here in reno. It was Easter Day. He played me in a game of skate. I got him an S 🤣
An S ngl is impressive tbh dont think i could give him a letter unless i do some poser trick
Dude I think it was something stupid like a fakie varial flip or nollie shuv 🤣
Give this man his flowers already. 💐
Being from this era... this might be the best thing uploaded all year. I love his lost footy part. Which would of been his extremely sorry part.. his parts are staples in sk8 history
Some of this footage looks post sorry video. Extremely sorry everyone aged
I grew up watching this on VHS. These days were the golden days of skating.
i wonder who ultimately decided that we weren't ready to see this for an entire decade..
The people signing french fred's paycheck's
That kick flip front board always boggled my mind as a kid, that thing was huge!!
I saw that and was thinking that could still be an ender for a pro video today
The way his upper body just shifts so perfectly at landing. The style is unreal
The kickflip front board down the 18 is still to this day one of the gnarliest and one of my favorite tricks of all time. Big ups 🙌
I believe it was a 16 stair. still crazy nevertheless
this footage is golden. Love how he deals with his mental battles during tries by being practically a very good comedian. Bastien is a personality and this footage vibrates it , its full of soul , its packed.
Sooooo glad that the new era of kids get to see how amazing Bastien was at some a young age.
Bastien is such a legend. I remember back in the day all the kids learning or trying to learn krook back lips because of how cool he made them look! This footage is insane 🖤
I didn’t realize how much of this I grew up watching. 🙏
Bruh he's skating so fast lmao. A lot of his parts alternate between hucking and rails so the speed doesn't always come throughs. Mans was moving!
Almost 30 minutes of some of the most amazing skating ever and it’s all one dude. Bastien is amazing
He was so ahead of his time man I remember when he was the only one really doin cab flips
and nollie heel back tails on handrails..... good god he is a savage! I cannot believe a couple of those lines/singles were never used.
I was actually there at Beverly Hills High School for his first line and was tripping out because at that time, I’m pretty sure it was the very first Kickflip Back Tail done on a decent sized rail. Dude is such a nice and humble human being... Bastien rips.
Also witnessed Appleyard on a different day Nollie Heelflip Noseslide it first try....
Early 2000’s was definitely the era when skateboarding difficulty was raising the bar, paving the way for today’s generation. Kind of like how it’s always been, but to a heavier aspect...
So many of these tricks are engrained in my memory from watching Sorry over and over again as a teenager! So amazing to see new footage!
One of the few guys that can make a Varial Kick look that good !
Basically every trick, doubles flips are only "legal" if they are done by bastien
@@geezuschrist2734 crook to backflip too haha
@@DarwinBoys1 crook to backflip is a NBD trick and i think it allways be like that, i know was the autocorrect, but i imagine someone doing that trick and make me a good laugh 🤣
He’s puts in
Soo much work. You can tell he has a higher focused energy. Shiii is past 9000
I’ve seen Menikmati, and every Flip video out there, and I don’t remember every hearing Bastien speak, besides the little intro to his Es part, but if I recall that was in Portuguese.
So it’s kinda strange to hear his voice this late after I first saw him rip the gnar.
Dude is habitually underrated.
thats rodrigo tx not bastien
what Es part?? he was never on the team fool. he was on vans most of his career lolll
He was never on es...smh.
bro u can't stay silent on this lol. u owe an explanation
@@saxenas 🤣🤣. Trueeee. And also never confuse two of the best people to ever step foot on a skateboard everrrr again please
Flip sorry was my first Skatevideo I owned maybe 17years ago, I had no internet to that time, and watched it like 2 times a day for like 2 years straight. So funny that I still remember every trick and try of this clips
I remember well when he joined street league a few years back and rose up the ranks like 20 years older than most of em. A true beast and a gentleman.
Bastien was the fucking TRUTH so good back then, now i understand why he was one of the first to get on PRIMITIVE.. TRUE LEGEND!!
Best skateboarder ever
the really sorry era flip team was the undisputed greatest team of all time
@@booftoot agree and a lot with that
@@booftoot of all time ??? negative
@@drewtatasciore7086 arto, appleyard, rowley, penny, ladd, salabanzie......easily the best team ever
It is so nostalgic. I remembers the Lordz old times...
Man that flip team in these sorry and really sorry days is just an unstoppable force. I could watch Bastien fakie full cab flip anything anytime and never get tired of it. 🔥
I still remember seeing one of his parts for the first time and just being blown away by the tricks he was doing. So ahead of his time
To whomever made this: Thank you! Going back to this era and seeing more footage of Bastien just credits him more of a legend. He was such a positive role model and will go down as one of the best in skateboarding's most popular decade. Bastien the warrior.
Really really paved a way. This dude was so far ahead of his time.
My first skate video i ever seen was the "Really Sorry" Flip team back 03 and its still my favorite to this day.
i love how bastian does one final hop step into his footing position before every trick. Its so steezy i remember trying to do that as a kid to way worse results. hahahah
Damn Bastien never gets boring bruh! Amazing how this much talent walks the earth 💯
Bastien also did a nolllie heelflip back tail on a handrail during this era.
Yeah that was absolutely insane, even still to this day
DAMN! Didn't know about the Wilshire 15 attempts!
I so wish he had landed that. Imagine the hysteria in 2003, when "Really Sorry" dropped and that was in his part.
I read that Greg Lutzka attempted that trick too a couple of years later and sacked.
Unbelievable how gnarly this clip is.
This holds up even 15 odd years later. Weapon!
What's crazy to me is that I started skating in 2006, and I just never really saw or heard much about Bastien Salabanzi...but when Thrasher put out his "Lost Part" several years ago, he became one of my favorite skaters and I've watched that part like 15 times. Seeing this last half hour of raw footy was amazing.
I remember when he was a young blood teenager during Fise Competition at Palavas (almost 20 years ago).
The practice began and Bastien wasn't here, he was late due to a late party.
The final started and he arrived and warmed up a little bit with few flat ground tricks between other riders.
Then he did his 1st run, a perfect one with not a single mistake and of course he won the contest.
He had this youth arrogant side at the beginning who changed a lot after some years and being under Tom Penny and Geof Rowley's wings.
A true french and international legend, one of my all time favorite rider.
Absolutely destroyed the bump over the bush at 16:57 !! Amazing, never saw that footy before.
The nostalgia is real with this one! Anyone else have deja vu while watching certain clips?! So good!
He put in 500% confidence in every try he makes, feels inspired somehow. Just keep doing what you doing out there guys!
What’s wild is...he looks like he could be doing insta clips with the young rippers right now stylistically. He’s always been one of my favourites. Had his gold biggie pixelated flip deck.
The memories are flooding bk from when me and the homies watched flip sorry hands down the the greatest team at the time and Bastien GOAT 4ever
I wasn't planning on watching this but once it started, I couldn't stop
This man, and every other part in this video will forever be iconic to me. This team was stacked and insane! Flip Sorry was the first skate video I bought!
I'm ganna watch his new part again after this
This is the best rough cut ive ever seen
Its so awesome to see one of my favorite skaters so candid in a video we never got to see. Thank you Thrasher, Banzi, And whoever allowed this footie to be shared 🤘😳
One of the most naturally talented skateboarders on the planet.
I agree
Time travelling right now.. So much memories from those videos.. Thanks so much Thrasher!
This dude just does not bail or kick out or nothing, he literally goes for it every try no mater what, that type of dedication and hard work is rare in life period, this dude has done some of the most wildest tricks, and crazy part is nobody else was really skating like this at this time, he was getting tech on some huge obstacles, don't get me wrong people skated gnarly shit back then, but they didn't do cab flips down them
I grew up watching him. Still an inspiration to skateboarding.
What a gift! This is French Fred’s “behind the scenes” on steroids!
The goat of full cab flips
The first skate video I ever got in 2003, this was my favorite part and fueled so much early inspiration to learn tricks. I learned kickflip pretzels and double flips because of him
The best team then and always! They had the most juice and the most amazing skaters with characters. Bastien montage to Mr. Dibbs music was wicked. FLIP f-ing RULES!
always a pleasure to watch him
This dude is one of the best to ever do it.
so good. ahead of times.
shaped it to what it is these days.
and yes. nostalgia over and over…
fucking love it
I've never seen these and I'm so glad to witness all this groundbreaking information 💜💜💜
Gnarly even for todays standart...
LEGEND
Much love from Switzerland
Bastien skates so fast that for years I thought his “Sorry.” part was sped up to match the song. Nah. Dude’s just that gnarly.
I have a exam tomorrow but fuck it trasher video goes first
One of the best to ever do it.
Natural Talent.
Magnificent!! He placed the flip to gnarly tricks to a higher levels !
The first great French skater I hear ! That dude is Legend ✌️✌️✨🙏 respect from Brazil ✌️✌️
This is dream footage. Big flip master.
Amazing skateboarder but go watch a Scott Kane video after this, the best of the best. Criminally underrated
Yep Kane was on another level. The homie since '95-'96. His Bootleg part is insane! Almost 11 minutes of hammers. If it wasn't for injuries he'd still be ripping. He still has it though when he steps on a board, nothing heavy. 8:41 Jason Jones in the background after Bastien kickflip front board that 16. Met him twice through Kane and Darrell, real quiet just smoking herb. This was right when "Sorry" dropped so he was in the states. Way ahead of his time. Kane kickflip front noseblunt Sylmar 9 was insane and his part still holds up to this day. The Bootleg premiere was insane! I miss the late 90's early 2000's skating.
Honestly, This Era of Skating was the Most Enjoyable..
Bastien is the dude. Always was, always will be.
Bastien is my life time favorite skater! Style and trick set are perfect! Thanks for everything! Gonna call my son with your name (no joke)
I saw him way back in the day(411 vhs times) on a contest in belgium.He was still in his teens. Doing Kickflip lipslides. Way before others where doing this kind of stuff on a regular. Cool to see he keeps on ripping.
So far ahead of his time. Some of the stuff he does still catches me off guard if I haven’t watched it for a while.
Bastien is absolutely superb, legendary in many ways, BARELY DOING A VIDEO NOW!???
God bless you who made this!
BEST RAW FOOAGE IVE SEEN IN A WHILE THOSE WERE THE BEST DAYS IN SKATEBOARDING
grin from ear to ear watching this...
