Not much else to say other than Bastien Salabanzi murdered it, and he knew it. In the clip where he gave away his shirt and sat down in the crowd, there was still 15 minutes left in the jam session. So Bastien reclaimed his board and did the last two tricks sans shirt, and iced it with the Cab double flip. The rest of the video features: Dominik Dietrich, Eero Antilla, Alex Olson, Chris Pfanner, Julian Bechet, and Bastien.

Qualifiers video here.

    dude bastien can be cocky as he wants, he has been shredding for a good minute now

  • john Says:

    i wish he got down on handrails more, his sorry part was unreal for a 17-19 year old kid, nolle heel backtails on handrails, nollie heel crooks. but this footy was great

  • JRB Says:

    bastien is a piece of trash…. leave cheering for yourself to football and baseball players. if you cheer for yourself at the skatepark you get boards thrown at you and thats what they should do to him…

  • dr. Says:

    damn. crazy footage but dude is a fool. how cocky can you be. doubt he even knows how dumb he looks

  • Malcolm Watson Says:

    Bastien is a MONSTER!!!!! He's always been super good. Damn shame the American Skate industry S**ted on him. Glad he's still on his grind getting to the money…

  • wyatt Says:

  • Arel Says:

  • Arel Says:

    He was just having a mega good day all together

  • skate515 Says:

    looks to me like he was just stoked to be out there
    he was having fun and by the looks of it so was everyone else
    i give him props for havin a blast an not letting the competition control his fun

  • nate Says:

    i'm not "hating" on him, i just think acting that cocky is very jock-like. let your skating do the talking. but he did kill it. you have to admit.

  • nate Says:

    or maybe he's just saying "look what you guys missed out on". you really never know. he really might have been burned by the american skate industry and he's just underlyingly giving a middle finger to the world. who knows.

  • real Says:

    All americans do is hate on fun. Bastien is from Europe. the culture in europe is very different people dont hate on that kind of style out there thats why he does it. that is also why he is never going to come back to america and go pro because he is probably fed on how much sh!t all you haters talk for no reason. you are all typical americans letting the Illuminati control your dull shi!t lives. i cant belive its such a crime to land so many bangers in a comp and be hyped. all you fools are wack

  • anonymous Says:

    hahaha your stupid

  • henry Says:

    i can't believe what i just saw

  • wow Says:

    wow people really think its fake, i hope you were joking, but thats not the first ive heard that.

  • anonymous Says:

    wtf kill yourself

  • lilwayneisGAY Says:

    you fuckin dumbass

  • kYS Says:

    i will bitch slap yo momma

  • anonymous Says:

    K.Y.S

  • ki dizzle Says:

    Ok, he's the Kanye of skateboarding….And he kills it….Bastien you are the champ!!!

  • 666 Says:

    i hate little fuckin kids… theres no way the people thinking your were serious about it being fake arent little pricks jesus christ

  • MERKED Says:

    that was a cab DOUBLE flip. and NO ones got those.

  • anthony Says:

    so is he supposed to be walking around with his head slump and have no confidence? its better for someone to have pride in what they did, skateboarders are human, so that means they can be happy too. dumbass

  • AUDITtheFED Says:

    unfuckingbelievable!

  • nitoo Says:

    Omg, I can’t take this shit anymore.

    First things first, SURE he totally obliterates everyone in that comp.
    Dood is crazy skilled but his attitude really, really sucks ass. To the guy who said that “it’s because you’re american, different culture blahblah” well, sorry but I’m french and I HATE this whole I’m da best attitude and all. Like someone else said : it’s just skateboarding dood, it’s not like he just walked on the moon so just chill. There are plenty of other monster skateboarders out there that kills it on a daily basis and you never see em so full of themselves like that.

    And don’t even bother with the overused and lame as hell argument : “you’re just so jealous yahaha”. I used to skate everyday in Paris, seen him couple times at Bercy and even tho he’s uber good, his attitude is uber shit. So in the end, I’d have way more pleasure and enjoyment watching some other dood skating even if he’s not as good rather than this oversized ego fest.

  • Skandrew Says:

    COCKY ASSSSSSS MUTHER FUCKERRRRRRRRRR!!! What happend to that dude?? too much fame to the head

  • mr.sarcastic Says:

    yea hes so cocky that afterwards he gives his board to a little kid yeaaah big loser that guy is.

  • agis Says:

    that was definitly in my top ten of gayest things iv ever seen. maybe next season he will get some new endorsments! what has skateboarding become?

  • eat me! Says:

    mmmk, bastien killed it, that has been established here, he did take his celebrating a little to far.
    soo what?? nothing anyone can do about it except him so let the man be?? sounds like a plan to me.

  • nuts Says:

    he was way younger than that in sorry dude…

  • renoo Says:

    precisely.

  • LouieTii Says:

    he has the right to do what he wants after shit like this

  • the duke Says:

    Hella good……. Hella cocky

  • effewe Says:

    Because he doesn't have any huge sponsors (Or "endorsements" for those of us who don't actually skate), that means he's somehow not impacting skating? Not even when he kills it, ending his sesh with a monster cab double flip? You're no longer allowed to speak.

  • trav Says:

    dude he was just having a good ass day and all you guys gotta stop hating and respect the fact that bastien killed it. dont hate, go skate

  • tony NEPOS Says:

    BASTIEN SALABANZI c'est juste le meilleur les gars !

  • Centor Says:

    he has full cab double flip like ryan sheckler has backside flips…….. insanity.

    dude has put his heart into the art of skateboarding he is going to be in the top ten most legendary skateboarders when all is said and done.

    if some fool ass dancers and singers can take a bow after a carnival cruiseline play i damn sure think bastien can take a bow after that godlike display.

  • really? Says:

    great skating but this shit is just too ridiculous. Bastien needs to seek good counsel that tells him to never do that ever again. I'm not even hating, for real, dude needs to chill.

  • dave_uninc Says:

    are you fucking joking??

  • Jonas Says:

    Havnt you allready seen all the tricks bastian did before??? The shit he did is amazing but it´s still the same old tricks he have been doing forever. Kickflip, bs flip, halfcab flip, caballeros and then variations of these tricks with double flips. To me its kinda boring……. And yeah he´s so full of himself its hard to watch, its only skateboarding dude, if your an asshole thats all you are despite how good you are on a skateboard, an asshole.

  • jimmy cash Says:

    he will never top his part in sorry!! sorry kids but its the truth. haha

  • your all idiots Says:

    Bastien is the fucking man and nothing wrong with enjoying it. You candy asses better respect. Skateboarding needs it's Bastien. Dude is an amazingly epic human who doesn't give a fuck.

  • ffrrr Says:

    ur..an..dummmmmaaasssss

  • refu Says:

    bastien is solid and he's got style, i agree that some tricks are the same of 3-4 years ago, but the variations of those tricks are crazy (cab double flips, wtf)….
    i think he takes it too easy, he probably could make tons of others tech tricks (like in the earliest videos), but he doesn't seem to care about it…
    i could easily compete with cole, lutzka, prod, marks and the others of the moment…

  • gregory Says:

    i found that on u tube look much better but not all the tricks and no final footage
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3So7tmwWQ2g&fe...

  • stop hatin lol Says:

    Bastien=G.O.A.T man just respect him!

  • hate killer in VA Says:

    I smell a hater! Lmao

  • J-Wezzy Says:

    fuckin beat man this guy killed it in everything he did. so who ever hatin needs to stop cuz i bet none of ya is as goood as him.

  • ### Says:

    haha yea only horrible cocky assholes give stuff to little kids.

  • party pepe Says:

    what if hes got some shit going on that no one knew about like personal shit and all that was just him going through it like huggin that dude what if i dunno he like prayed to god to win the money to save his friends life….naw k maybes hes just an asshole lol

  • j-wezzy is dumb. Says:

    the point is theres other guys better than him that dont act like a douche. he'll be embarrassed by how he acted some day

  • jjNice Says:

    what a show boatin asshole, dudes nice but cmon…..cmon

  • nate Says:

    ok. i just agreed with bastien and im a typical american? i just don't see any room for cockiness in skateboarding. america will always be where skateboarding is at.

  • rkelly Says:

    homie straight murdered it…..hes probally just on some next leval shit…let him do him….shits was redic

  • Cold Turkey Says:

    His attitude is the reason why he got kicked off his sponsors was forced to leave the states sponsorless!!! Have been saying this for years!!!

  • haterhater Says:

    Jonas shut the fuck up I bet ur some fat filmer who criticizes skaters all day. He destroyed it nuff said

    who cares if he does the same tricks he does them with style and speed did you see that double flip frontboard fakie? Why am I even wasting my time replying to you

  • cheese Says:

    ONLY PEOPLE BASTIEN WOULD'VE BEEN BEING COCK TOWARD WERE THE OTHER CONTESTANTS BUT THEY ALL SEEMED TO BE HIS FRIEND! BASTIEN IS TIGHT AND ALWAYS WILL BE!

  • Julian Says:

    That shit was nuts. All you guys need dogging him need to chill out. He's out there having a good time with everyone else and seeing that is great. Y'all are just a bunch of haters.

  • Chase G Says:

    i wonder if thats why he doesnt have any sponsors now…?? ha

  • Rod Stewart Says:

    I don't see anyone calling Lebron James a show boating asshole. I don't see people calling Tiger Woods a showboating asshole. Bastian was killing it and it's what he does for a fucking living. It is obviously important to him. He was happy about his performance that's all. When Lebron dunks over some dude and he does that similar shit that Bastian does, no one says anything. When Tiger sinks a 25 footer that is crucial to his victory, you can regularly see him acknowledging his great play with the same kind of self cheering. This contest meant a lot to him clearly, he needed to win in his mind. When he was on his way to doing that, he just couldn't contain himself I reckon. I have never been a big fan of him, but the man is a ripper and he is allowed to have some fun when he is destroying the competition in my opinion. Plus, there is no way the audience wasn't entertained by it, half wanted to slap him and half were feeling it probably but either way they all walked away with Bastian on their minds.

  • William Says:

    I agree with the general vibe of this comment board.. This guy is SO GOOD!! He killed the whole contest.. I've always been a huge fan of his skateboarding. Cab Double flip WTF?!?

    But I wish he was more humble about it.

  • RICKY Says:

    whoa noone is a hater for expressing there opinion on how much bastien beams. I agree with everyone yes he fuckin destroyed man and yes anyone would be stoked and having landing shit like that, but when you are shrugging your shoulders as if to say fuck you all im the best cmon man chill out a bit. Thats what we are trying to keep out of skateboarding is all that crazy giving yourself props and shit thats just one thing that makes us different from everything else. Whatever though maybe im wrong im a Canadian skater and we wouldnt be caught dead doing that shit. WERD LIFE!!!

  • The One Son Says:

    Looks like he has been watching NFL touch down dances.

  • James Says:

    i see what youre saying man, i can totally see that. but maybe, and this is kind of how i saw it, he was just shrugging like "damn, i cant believe i made that!" or he was super psyched he was having an amazing day skatie and just have a shit load of fun. he did throw down some tight shit though!

  • bbc Says:

    he did kill it, but way too cocky like everyone said, if he wasnt hed actually have sponsers instead like dropping off the face of the earth. it shows that no matter how good you are you gotta have a good attitude no matter what, even if you are good as shit

  • Bastien's wet shirt Says:

    I'm sorry for all you guys having massive boners over Bastien shirtless performance here but his bs flips just look horrible, even if he'd throw them down the Eiffel tower it would still look horrible lol. His cab flips are great tho.

  • bastienssicknuffsaid Says:

    you people are dumb. when your that good your attitude can be however you want… Plus you tards didn't see him give away his skateboard, and shirt. he fuckn high fived like every1 skating in the contest. If you where landn shit like that you'd b hyped like him too.

    you dumb kids need to save it!

  • ukallday Says:

    all you gays who are hateing on bastian can go suck a dick
    do u not think there is a reason for him beig so big headed
    its because hes the best.
    and come of obviously him not haveing any sponcers is not effecting his skateing so stop talking about him not haveing no sponcers the guys arguably the best skater in th world.

  • finn! Says:

    hahhaha bastien is the greatest of all time! he just does his thing and does not give a fuck! let him skate however the fuck he wants !! haters killyoself!

  • henrie Says:

    dude do you know him in person? I dont think so he is a super chill guy en shit about that he cant get sponsors because of his attitude thats bull shit he just wanted some pease in his live after the crazy hollywood sponser shit en al kind of expentations the had of him ??
    And its not an attitude hes just givin de crowed a show man he high5 almost every one in the comp gives his board away tho a kid hes just interacting with the crowed you know.
    and he is now more at his roots of skateboarding hes not the comercial type of guy hes just enjoying live and skating if jou cant see that then thats your problem.

  • henrie Says:

    yeah you dont now shit thats for sure!!

  • hector Says:

    bastien is snoop dog!
    lol
    so insanely good!
    stop hating

  • hector Says:

    http://www.jartskateboards.com/team/
    he is sponsored
    just he doesnt want a big sponsor cus of all the comercialized bullshit of the skate industry

  • Truth Speaking Says:

    Dude any skater who FULL CAB DOUBLE FLIPS a big set in a conest is going to be overly excited who wouldn't be?! Sheckler does shit like that all the time in conest and he's got more sponsers than anyone

  • jomila Says:

    BASTIEN KILLED IT! Thats all there is to it.

  • blah Says:

    bastien put his hand on the floor on pretty much every trick.

  • Snake Says:

    Bastien is in the place. We film with him for this contest he was very cool with every rider and little kids and parents. He is dad now, he still love skateboards and I think when if you land a cabalerial double kickflip on stairs you can be happy, scream and jump to the crowd.

    Peace. Enjoy it

  • Kobe#2 Says:

    Don't gotta act like Kobe at a Lakers game…it disgusts me to see what skateboardings gonna become.
    F'in killed the comp tho, just be humble.

  • festa Says:

    Fu** what everyone says….. you can take a sh1t on the stairs if you want when you can shred that hard, he killed it and deserved the right to do what he wants

  • Nel Says:

    "when your that good your attitude can be however you want…"

    Man you need to rethink that !

  • rufusdos Says:

    damn, from your first two sentences I thought you were smart. guess not.

  • stephen Says:

    i remember back in '00 i saw an ad of him doing a switch varial heel down a 3 block or something. he looked like he was 14 and i'm like who is this kid… next time i saw him he killed every dew tour i watched and crook back lipped everything. then sorry came out and he kills it. he's been doing some shit for years that has amazed me. put your hand down or whatever but its a jam session. in videos you do tricks until its clean in jam sessions you do tricks just to do another trick. and whoever said he's cocky because he's american is a retard, he was born in france. bastien is one of those dudes who helped re invent skateboarding years ago.

  • ace cream Says:

    racist bigot

  • joey yoyos Says:

    who asked you

  • joey yoyos Says:

    Bastien had to do that stuff or all you haters would have had nothing to talk about

  • mikey Says:

    why because he just killed it in a contest and came in 1st….? eh

  • j-sauce Says:

    There are so many things wrong with your statement; but that's what is expected of ignorant people who don't have all their facts correct and assume they know things. I believe the wisest man who ever lived said 'the only he knows is that he knows nothing.' Bastein let his sponsors go because he was sick of all the mainstream b.s. went back to Europe (his roots) and now he just skates for fun…my guess is all that flaunting was because of people like you who thought he fell off and couldn't skate anymore.

  • babykiller Says:

    yuup

  • white power Says:

    bastien has never done a different trick in the last 10 years he only repeats the same shit all the fucking time who gives fuck. ide like to see him go attempt a frontside flip couldnt do it dumb nigga is to fucking stoned

  • jamie tancowny Says:

    i disagree he is not too fucking stoned. he's just a fucking retard

  • soomr Says:

    Bastien is a beast.
    And he has fun at what he´s doing and he´s stoked cuz of those sick tricks..

  • thebretticsvoice Says:

    ok lets settle it.
    cocky. yes. so what, weve known that for years and if this is new to you then dont even post or complain about it. his skill and style is unprecedented and yes he does repeat tricks but everyone has their tricks you know? whos complaining about lizard king doing back 180 one foots or kickflips? no one. what about antwuan and his nollie heel, sw heel, nollie flip, sw flip? no one. so as far as repeating tricks….so what. everyone does it. even you and even pros so kill that topic off.
    bastien is a killer. shame he went and fell of earth. got back on a weak company like Jart but oh well its a foot back in the door.

    good to see bastien overall.

  • OffTheWall Says:

    All you mother fuckers hating on him are fuckign retarded. Hes a fucking incredible skater that does his own this and just cause he dropped out of the scene for a bit to persue a musical career doesnt discredit him as a skater. If you really want to be hating on him for doing the same tricks, being stoned, and touching his hands, you better fucking be perfect, cause most likely youre just some douche with too much time on his/her hands and likes to be critical to make up for your own self conciousness. And for the racist kids, you should honestly just fucking kill youself if you are so fucking ignorant to believe that you are better than another race because of your skin color. you fucking haters are what is going to ruin skating, not bastien being psyched that he landed some gnarly tricks.

  • OffTheWall Says:

    All you mother ****ers hating on him are ****ign retarded. Hes a ****ing incredible skater that does his own this and just cause he dropped out of the scene for a bit to persue a musical career doesnt discredit him as a skater. If you really want to be hating on him for doing the same tricks, being stoned, and touching his hands, you better ****ing be perfect, cause most likely youre just some douche with too much time on his/her hands and likes to be critical to make up for your own self conciousness.

  • john Says:

    wtf are you all talking about??? bastien killed it over there. every trick was almost perfectly executed… those who say about toucing the ground on every trick go see a doctor you mentals! now about the "same tricks". every skater has his own " list of first try tricks". and well having a cab flip , bs double flips and tres isnt so common! he does it because the others cant and thats a fact!. who can cab double flip a double set like that so perfect! nobody! not andrew reynolds not p rod not chris cole not sheckler not flo marfaing not geoff rowley..
    and to the guy who said that bastien hasnt done a different trick in the last 10 years.. apparently you talk without knowing you little poser! sw heel bs 5-0 on a handrail in really sorry , sw front 360s , nollie heel crooked , nollie heel bs tail on a handrail!!!!! wtf you retards! bastien is history

  • bho Says:

    wat a lot of u people r referring to as cockyness i see simply as a dude being psyched on landing so many tricks. If i cud do sh**t like that I'd be pretty excited too. I don't think that makes him an asshole.

  • bho Says:

    Idk dude i saw the shrugging of his shoulders like "damn i dont even know how I'm doing all this sh**t right now." I don't think he was trying to put anyone down or act like it was easy.

  • jas Says:

    ha you guys are funny, who cares, he rips, and its also funny when hes like "FUCK YEAH IM AWESOME" gotta love a cocky guy, hes black common

  • sean Says:

    he is good at backside kickflip variations

  • Reeves Says:

  • troy Says:

  • ffasfsdfdsfa Says:

  • Nate Romer Says:

    Wow! that was amazing , he put down so many tricks . It also goes with sheckler . Everyone always hates on him because he has fame and money and could be alittle cocky , But he puts it down everywhere he goes and always put s on a good show .. HANDS DOWN Bastien put it down he deserves every bit of that win

    Second: You tre-flip a big set.
    Third: You cab double flip a huge set.

    Forth: You say whatever you want about this crazy guy.

  • oli Says:

    This is so hilarious! I've looked up to Bastien since my early skating days, and glad to see he's still killing it. People say he's cocky, but wouldn't you be too if your abilities were at par with Bastien's? If you haven't already, please watch his Flip Sorry part, he was just 16 yrs old at the time. You'll understand why soon after…

  • suckitbastien Says:

    the dudes on flip kicked him off cause the way he acts and pros and junk on flip no what it takes to be a good/successful skateboarder and half of its being cool. its so much more than skating and bastien thinks of him self as a god for being amazing at skating but who really cares how good of a skateboarder you are in the long run. like you should only care about how good you are but he gets hyped thinking of other dudes thinking hes good. he's dumb

  • andrew Says:

    wow.. there's people that are actually sticking up for this dude who cheers for himself after every trick and hot dogs around. he and you are the reason skateboarding is becoming gay. go back to your mainstream sports so you can cheer for yourself, because you obivously know nothing about how skateboarding works…. go kick a soccer goal and run around in celebration, you and your zumiez buddies dont deserve to be on a skateboard

  • mosaik Says:

    its a dirty job but someones gotta do it

  • daanyn Says:

    so cocky that he made the video disgusting

  • Jerry McGuire Says:

    FILM A VIDEO PART PLEASEEEEEEEE

  • THEshred Says:

    Just imagine if he didn't point into the crowd, didn't beam, didn't shrug his shoulders. It would be way better.

  • dokken Says:

    he slaughtered it–no doubt about that. Amazing talent, every trick was perfect. humility goes a long way, though, and he seems void of it completely. I won't hold it against him, I just won't buy any of his shit (who are his sponsors, anyway?)… He can do whatever the hell he wants, and so can I.

  • joe joe Says:

    dude just looks hyped to me, its not like he walked up to the other skaters and was like dude did you guys see all the tricks i did that were better than yours lol

  • Gabe Says:

    Bastiens pretty underatted now…but whatever the guy destroyed the comp,and everyone should be able to have theyre 15 minutes of fame. so for f-cks sake, stop bitchin like pre teen school girls and watch this guy wreck your ass in a game of skate

  • Gabe Says:

    and dont forget that when you land fucked up tricks like that, theres not a better feeling cause its skateboarding

  • tyler Says:

    i dont think he was being cocky i think he was just suprised he was landing all those tricks first try. wouldnt you be hyped too if u cud land all your tricks first try in a contest down huge crap!?

  • mikey Says:

    everyone thinks theres some rule that say you cant show your a emotions… show me that rule

  • andrew Says:

    you can see the rule by watching skate videos from the past 20 years and never seeing anyone acting like a jackass after they land an amazing trick, except bastien. thats how skateboarding always has been and always will be

  • Nate Romer Says:

    Skateboarding.. every one has a different style or a different way to express the way they land a trick .. EVery one needs to LET IT BE

  • sastien balabanzi Says:

    hes good as hell but yup he is a cocky lil prick no doubt about it i think thats y he off flip lol plus he was a junkie and had a drug problem is what i hurd from some dude that works for flip

  • sk8easy Says:

    andrew u lame ass fuck u should fell good about ur self when u land a trick. cheer ur self dats how get pumped up for the next trick

  • Greg Love Says:

    Hey honestly on some real shit i think it's high time these mother fuckers realised that bastien deserves way more than what he was getting. I mean, fucking greco was an avid drug addict, and he's getting his dick sucked just cause why? his hair grew back? fuck that. My nigga has been slapping pro's in the face for too long. it's high time these cocky mustache having fuckers thinking cab flips are nice. Double cab flip on ya bitch ass. . BLLAOW!!. i hope he gets his shit back. sponsor wise. fuck everyone who doubted him

  • wurd up Says:

    (this isnt a point, its a legit question)

    has anyone else ever done a cab double flip down a set, other than in a video game? if you know of one, email me - menikmati789@hotmail.com

  • jerseyjoe Says:

    man watching this dude skate is weird he rips but he reminds me of watching nick merlino skate hes just all about himself you cant be ur own cheerleading squad like that. The fucking dude runs up hand starts hugging some fool at one point for mad long in the crowd when he lands its just all so fake just be hyped the fact that you landed some shit dont blow your cool though

  • barock yomama Says:

    it may not be cool to celebrate your own tricks…but that doesnt mean the homies cant get hyphy.

  • cmd Says:

    i feel as if some people are complaining that the guy shows too much emotion after landing not just any tricks, but some absolutely unbelievable tricks…tell me you dont remember the feeling of landing that one trick you've always been working on, and just having your head in the clouds for the rest of the day. and while people argue that most skateboarders dont celebrate after a trick, the truth is that we all know off camera they get psyched about it and celebrate with their crew; some are just more flashy than others in doing so (although none of his celebrations are really that ridiculous). attitude aside, stop thinking that the point of skateboarding is not caring, and get psyched for something that a lot of people love to do.

  • esats Says:

    couldnt say it better.. goddamn hes just having fun! cant u see that? stfu with all the hate man all people do on this site.. HATERS

  • mr. somesing Says:

    gave himself a little to much props but that was a gnar session for sure.

  • iceman Says:

    what the fuck is everyone talking about? chill fools

  • SDM Says:

    SICK

  • jersey joe sucks. Says:

    hey jersey joe. lets see you go pull those tricks, inthen you can open your mouth. All you do is sit and watch videos on skateboarding.com and realize youll never be that good so you have to hate on it to make yourself feel better. nice work.

  • Fresh Says:

    Yall are haters dude is throwing tricks no one else can do double flip front board are you kidding. so what if he is cocky its funny, he is just saying F You to the industry. Look at all the other gay ass skaters in flannel and sweaters so homo, he has way more steez then them all together.

  • Chase McMullen Says:

    YES! FINALLY! ~Id film this fool anyday of the week, regardless of whatever his emotional situation was. In a skateboarding world full of industry assholes, where everyone is cocky as shit and knows everything, this fool is the only heavily talented skater to stand-up outright and say "F#@! YOU… I gots kids…" haha! Anyway, he's been fucking up contests in Europe all year and will be in a video 2010 again~

  • diego Says:

    He killed it no doubt… he isn't the most humble skater out there, but those tricks were so awesome…
    think of danny way proping himself that hard after flying, he would look ridiculous, that's because he's a man
    and bastien's still a kid.

  • adrian Says:

    enoooooorrrrrme!!! ese salabanziiiii

  • tom Says:

    i hope you say this to wrong person…and they punch you in the dick

    love, tom

  • ronnococrzack Says:

    yo whats up tom?

  • pablo Says:

    este tio es asqueroso, en la vida a parte de patinar bien,hay otras virtudes por las un skater puede molar o no

  • yeee Says:

    The whole being humble thing that everyone else does is mostly fake, just catch the little "humble" kids behind closed doors. This guy is in the moment, might not look the best on video/public…. but cab double flip, holla at cha boy.

  • bob Says:

    that was some crazy shit no doubt, but he should have chilled a little bit with the self glorification

  • kfc Says:

    i agree with …. yeee. lol his having a good time and his skating is worthy of an appluse. bow was maybe a bit over kill, this goes out to UKALLDAY… uno who u are …hbomb

  • thrasher739 Says:

    WTF? why r people shocked about his attitude Hes always been that way over the years. The crowd just pumps him up but honestly, i dont think he cares about the comp. And wats up with the racial comment , people are saying hes cocky cause hes black. Look at ryan sheckler hes cocky and hes white. At least Bastien gives his board to people i dont see sheckler doing that

  • Rogelio Says:

    You guys know you are alll asking yourselves how he does that
    and those that complain about his shoulder shruggs are just haters
    because of how fuckin gnar he is

    It is what it is.

  • Half-a-Dolla Says:

    He's always been an arrogant prick. What a fucking jock.

  • manoliyo Says:

    Le vi ganar el spoko cuando tenia 15 años dejando por los suelos a pros de la talla de jeremy wray,chet tomas,raul navarro,javier sarmiento,rodrigo texeira y demas artistas del mundillo (bueno,, rodrigo creo que tenia la rodilla jodida, pero hubiera sido igual…). Que el niño se endiosara y estuviera haciendo el gilipollas varios años,, es normal dentro de lo que cabe esperar de un niño de 15 años… Pero eso no quita que sea un prodigio con una tabla

  • JohnFromFrance Says:

    Hey, So much bullshit about Bastien, i met him many times and he still rippin' more than ever.
    He's very humble but just a lil bit crazy when he skates. GO SKATE and work for doing Cab double flip instead of speakin fo nothin. Fuckin haters ; Hello from France fo the others :D

  • Daverzz Says:

    good to see he's back on his scarface program again, does well for his skating

  • kytkrjfiku Says:

    Bastien on the rise,

  • cdogg Says:

    where did he go. people keep saying hes back what happened

  • Mikeskatesnj Says:

    Bastien is seriously one of the best skateboarders of all time. He hammers everything. I can't believe he landed a cab x2 flip down that big a set. Double kickflip front board?!?! whaaaat the 2#2#$@#$@#$@!!! dude. I can't believe how good that is. All the other dudes killed it, but seriously, Bastien is the man. and his attitude… dude. I'd be stoked as hell too if I did even 1 of those tricks. He was just having a good time. That's what skateboarding is.

  • mikeskatesnj Says:

    He probably only skated that contest for some cash to pay rent. Seriously, that guy is amazing. Give him a break. I've never seen such a sick skateboarder in my life

  • Guest Says:

    That was crazy he deffinatly killed it its good to see him back

  • Guest Says:

    I think he was a bit pumped because he was throwing down one of the best jams ive EVER seen…full cab double flip during a comp? thats UNHEARD of..

  • timtim Says:

    completely agree with you
    I'm french too and I think that skateboarding is not a competition, it's a way of life and a possibility to express ourselves…
    just skate, chill and dont make a play with it…
    maybe it's his own way to get pleasure but i think he could be a lil bit modest
    that's why he was kicked from Flip…
    So keep on skatin' and stay yourself
    peace

  • manyouguysaretrippin Says:

    what pro is doing double flip front boards and doing double cab flips down anything that big?
    that shit is atleast a 12 and the bigger side on the left is like a 14

  • james Says:

    are you fucking serious
    hes so much better than anyone
    holy fuck

  • james Says:

  • tiger10 Says:

  • john Says:

  • harwood Says:

    Guy killed it. I thought it was pretty funny actually. He's just showboating, don't hate.

  • Bob Says:

    Chris cole calls this guy a retard- http://skateboarding.transworld.net/features/how-...

  • tob1 Says:

    BAstien is sooooo WACK. Neva saw someone as wack as him. He can land watevs he just sucks hard. Go back to play guitar and act like a rock star but please, leave again skateboarding.

  • tob1 Says:

    Chris Cole "that was one step away from touching himself" HAHA

  • STONED Says:

    dude cops just aresst more black ppl cuz there black, not cuz there more criminal than whites, whites are just as bad, black ppl just look more sucspicious in a mostly white country.. also their more likely to be in poverty since bigots like you wont hire them. poor ppl are more likely to commit crimes, so blakcs in america are just kinda forced to be where they at, but look now our prez is black n me a fucking white ass white voted for him lol. think about it…….

  • barton damer Says:

    That's hilarious!!!!
    Amazing skating.

  • Illya Says:

    Bastien should get a major part in a video then he'll be like greatest 9except of course Rodney Mullen).

  • Centor Says:

    well everyone knows the french suck.

  • Jon Says:

    but Cole ain't hatin

  • KLAP Says:

    [youtube 3So7tmwWQ2g&feature=player_embedded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3So7tmwWQ2g&fe... youtube]

  • guest Says:

    Damn Chris Pfanner had some cool hammers in there jumping over ledge into the bank. Good use of the obstacle instead of jumping down stairs or using the rail.

  • asd Says:

    ALL I GOTTA SAY IS…… look at tiger woods when he competes….. look at kobe bryant when he competes…. or jordan….. a world series of poker winner…… or whoever. I know you're gonna say skateboarding isnt the same, it isnt a sport or whatever…. but clearly in a skate competition when you're competing for a lot of cash at such a high level, why not get hyped…. why not beat your chest…. especially cuz you just stomped a dope ass trick

  • soap Says:

    I was watching this 2008 tony hawk demo in france , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzxySrUeOTs&NR... and i would say that euphoria is contagious. Its fun having fun and if you can like that while doing, be my guest!

  • bmosis Says:

  • GCaliber Says:

    Dude….Nastiest 10 minutes of skating period….Dude is throwing DOUBLE CAB FLIPS!!?? and Double flip front boards….common he can boast all he wants when u tear a new hole in a comp…nobody was touching him…Bastien my mayne….Keep killin it

  • trevorwa. Says:

    dude is hyped to be landing shit like that. who the fuck cares. let him act as he will.. thats his personality he rips he needs to be back in the game again.. seriously try to do half the shit he does on flat.. on a flat bar.. he's good.. better than all the new jacks coming from the berrics. bastain is raw.. unique.. something that shoulda been in extremely sorry..
