Bastien just seems like a cool, down to earth dude. He's been one of my favorite skaters since i was introduced to him in Sorry. Glad to see he's looking good and still skating. He deserves his comeback because he didn't get nearly enough love from the industry when he was in his prime.
Exactly, he wasn't very liked by the rest of the pros back in the day. I remember watching him during skateboarding contests in Europe between 2000 and 2002. The other pros were making fun of him because of his arogance. I am also glad he's changed and I really enjoy watching him skate nowadays. @TobiasHeinzle
Nash gotta be a local who lived and experienced during its come up period, his description of living there and how it changed and evolved once discovered was what made it so good
I Remember when Bastien burst onto the scene. He blew our minds with that VHS of insane tricks everywhere. His influence hit like a rocket, inspiring so many of us Brazilian skaters. Those early 20s, man, that was a golden age for skateboarding!
Legend - Salabanzi is such a good host for this show - hope you make more with him, he is like so natural talking in front of the camera. His Nollie Heel down Macba were my first days in skateboarding so this episode is special to me :)
I've been to Barcelona a few times. the first time I went, I was looking for Macba, I started hearing the sound of skateboards and followed the noises, when I realized, there I was fulfilling a dream of visiting this place, and I even met Thiago Lemos
Listening to a skater so knowledgeable about the spot (himself having lived 3 years at the spot) adds up something priceless to the story being told. It was well thought out! Loved it
I love this format of skate videos (documentaries) it feels like skateboarding as a narrative/movement than a "paid partnership" video. Kudos to guys for giving us such a beautiful video about something most people watching this loves being a part of... 🎉
I’ve been to MACBA in 2006 and again in 2018. To someone who doesn’t skate you can’t explain the significance of this place. It is truly the most magical place I’ve ever been in my life. Not just to skate but the whole vibe of it all
What a phenomenal compilation. Thank you for putting this together and for sharing the thoughts of this legendary skater with us. It was a real treasure to hear Bastian take a trip down memory lane in this video. Thank God that the museum has been able to see the glory and profound skills that these skaters bring to MACBA. May God bless them.
Bastien is the best ever in my eyes. Watching all his old videos on high school would hype and prime me for an after school skate adventure with my homies. Wish him many more years .
Skateboarding has risen to the next level only thanks to skaters like Bastien Salabanzi. I remember watching his profile and it energized me to learn tricks! 🙂
Thanks a lot for this awesome edit! I had goosebumps watching it!t Two times in my life i have been to MACBA and can agree that this spot has so much impact on the progression of skateboarding. Its a marble dreamland like stalin plaza. I am happy seeing Bastien still around. When he became a skateboarding superstar in the early 2000s his level of skating was unbelievable. He still kills it!
The out ledge threading the needle was so epic, was so narrow you could easily get your ankle stuck in there and break it. Kenny Reed bs Smith in there still stands out as really special
So nice. At the day i skated and saw macba the first time ever berrics announced this video. You feel that there is something special around this place.
Macba made me move to barcelona , its one of the purest skateboarding experience you can have , in both positives and negatives, every skater should try it for himself
Kind of crazy how you can build a plaza and include a certain style of benches and dividers and doing that can make such a huge impact on an entire culture of people.
Anyone who has skated there will tell you the same thing, best flatground in the world. Don't know what it is about it but every trick you do just feels right, I barely even skated the ledges when I was there
It’s been said that was corruption Lucky for us skaters It’s a stone carryed from some place in Africa . Very expensive . Once an engineer told me it cost 7-8 times if u did with spanish stone So corruption is not always bad
For stalin plaza and macba are the two momumental european skateplazas in Europe. They are sill skatable and skateboarding there has progressed so much in the last 25 years.
I will NEVER forget being a 16 yr old kid watching Bastien kick flip front board that rail in Sorry. Fuckin A that was a unique feeling that can’t really be duplicated nowadays.
2000. I sat watching a young Bastien (just fresh off the Flip Sorry part) absolutely rip macba to shreds. 6 trick lines every go. Passed me a nice pollen J too hehe
Great video, especially with Bastien! Only clip I missed in this video is Hans Claessens doing the whole ledge one wheel wheelie for a carhartt commercial. Did not understand how that was even possible when i was a kid.
Was there a couple months ago. Was surprised to see they put a wheel chair ramp in the landing of the big double set. Hopefully it's not permanent cuz I wanna see more tricks go down there
@@andyjohnson4008 I’ve always wondered why I haven’t seen any recent footage from that spot. I guess the wheelchair ramp solves that mystery. Lol! Also agreed that I wanna see more tricks & lines go down there.
A BIG thank you to the city and the museum for tolerating skating at Macba
Bastien just seems like a cool, down to earth dude. He's been one of my favorite skaters since i was introduced to him in Sorry. Glad to see he's looking good and still skating. He deserves his comeback because he didn't get nearly enough love from the industry when he was in his prime.
Same! It seems like you missed his solo part from Brussels earlier this year (?) Dope part at his age for sure
He once was called Arroganzi, met him at Parallel in Barcelona and knew how he got this name… glad he changed for the Good 👍🏻
@@TobiasHeinzle i mean, if you are one of the greatest skaters of all time, i would be arrogant too.
I enjoy watching his video part and it seems like a lot of ppl forgot he was in street league and did pretty good in it he was a crowd favorite.
Exactly, he wasn't very liked by the rest of the pros back in the day. I remember watching him during skateboarding contests in Europe between 2000 and 2002. The other pros were making fun of him because of his arogance. I am also glad he's changed and I really enjoy watching him skate nowadays. @TobiasHeinzle
That fact that they been playing clips during the whole video is mind blowing. 🤯
Petition to have Bastien host every single episode of this series. He’s so good.
Yes
Nash gotta be a local who lived and experienced during its come up period, his description of living there and how it changed and evolved once discovered was what made it so good
The amount of effort to curate all of the clips at a spot is incredible. Great job!
I Remember when Bastien burst onto the scene. He blew our minds with that VHS of insane tricks everywhere. His influence hit like a rocket, inspiring so many of us Brazilian skaters. Those early 20s, man, that was a golden age for skateboarding!
bastien doesnt lazer what are you talking about lol
He rocks out on the ss-bigheels, maybe that?@@MissingScrew27
Legend - Salabanzi is such a good host for this show - hope you make more with him, he is like so natural talking in front of the camera. His Nollie Heel down Macba were my first days in skateboarding so this episode is special to me :)
This is awesome. Bastien is looking good, healthy. That makes me happy. Bastien and Busenitz are my dudes. Need more of both of them.
Yes! The Tiago lemos ledge let it be known!
That trick absolutely blew my mind! SW BS Tail on such a tall ledge ist wizzardry. WTF!
This is easily my favorite thing The Berrics has put out in a while.
Man the early 2000s of Skateboarding:)
I've been to Barcelona a few times. the first time I went, I was looking for Macba, I started hearing the sound of skateboards and followed the noises, when I realized, there I was fulfilling a dream of visiting this place, and I even met Thiago Lemos
Loved every second of this. Very accurate in describing it's value and place in skateboarding. Thank you Berrics and Macba!
3:35 the way Stanton catches that switch hardflip is so sick.
I used to have a poster of him doing a switch bs big spin down it. Still the gnarliest trick done at the spot imo
@@dustinrisinger1958 He's one of the gnarliest and most stylish skaters that's been sort of forgotten somehow
Really amazing doc on MACBA. Bastien killed it hoisting this.
Arto's fakie flip is god tier 🐣💌🐣
I loved every minute of this. Thank you BERRICS.
listening to this mans passion gives me chills
so good to see some bastien
Bastien is a beast. Remember watching his MACBA lines so much back in the day getting pumped to go skate 🔥👑
Thank you for your time Bastien

shoutout to the video editor who did very well skate archival compilation! with a perfect sound!!
The way Bastien narrates this is amazing
Bastiens banger in flip Sorry is still one of my most favorite clips ever ❤ The level of skating now is absolutely mind-blowing 😮
The back story told by Bastien, along with the footage to accompany the story telling = mad respect to all those that rolled thru!
thanks for including our clip at 13:03 from our full lenght!! check it if you didnt watch yet
I’ve been to MACBA in 2006 and again in 2018. To someone who doesn’t skate you can’t explain the significance of this place. It is truly the most magical place I’ve ever been in my life. Not just to skate but the whole vibe of it all
Made me emotional this.
Having been before, and getting into skating around 2000, make the most of your years, guys.
One love
So hyped watching this!
One of the best vid mini Doc's of 2023❤
Bastien, is a true artist. Love his style and how he reflects on the impact Europe had on skateboarding. One of the greats n Berric’s well done!
What a phenomenal compilation.
Thank you for putting this together and for sharing the thoughts of this legendary skater with us. It was a real treasure to hear Bastian take a trip down memory lane in this video.
Thank God that the museum has been able to see the glory and profound skills that these skaters bring to MACBA. May God bless them.
Bastien legend
Great vid! The clips at the last, modified out ledge with Bastien’s narration set-up is classic.
Bastien is the best ever in my eyes. Watching all his old videos on high school would hype and prime me for an after school skate adventure with my homies. Wish him many more years .
Incredible mini documentary! Loved it!!!
Still remember discovering Bastien back in the dial up internet days, dude burst out into the scene snd blew everyones minds
I'd watch more in this series for sure.
That was heavy, I always enjoy edits of all the great stuff that went down on a single spot!
Skateboarding has risen to the next level only thanks to skaters like Bastien Salabanzi. I remember watching his profile and it energized me to learn tricks! 🙂
Beautiful piece and Bastien is the best! ❤❤❤
thanks for this piece of history
Thanks a lot for this awesome edit! I had goosebumps watching it!t Two times in my life i have been to MACBA and can agree that this spot has so much impact on the progression of skateboarding.

Thank You Bastian.
this was just beautiful to witness
This video is Art 🙌🏼❤
Especially during that time in early 2000's as an American, that whole city was beyond our concept on what was possible. Thanks for this!
The out ledge threading the needle was so epic, was so narrow you could easily get your ankle stuck in there and break it.
Kenny Reed bs Smith in there still stands out as really special
That was an intense 18 minutes!
That's a good series! keep it up this is awesome
Joslin's bigspin is such a gnarly trick... the fact that it is not even his ender in True is insane.
So nice. At the day i skated and saw macba the first time ever berrics announced this video. You feel that there is something special around this place.
Bastien is such a legend
Macba made me move to barcelona , its one of the purest skateboarding experience you can have , in both positives and negatives, every skater should try it for himself
Finally a good video.... get Salabanzi a show!
Adrielito haciendo la cerradora es todo un honor para los argentinos
Beautifully done and beautifully narrated. What an epic spot. I can’t wait to visit it in person.
Great homage to a historic skate spot
Kind of crazy how you can build a plaza and include a certain style of benches and dividers and doing that can make such a huge impact on an entire culture of people.
Aaron Rowe even got a clip. Nice!!!
These are awesome, keep em coming
One of the greatest spots in the world 🌎!
to be honest this is the best half cab flip ever for me personally! just blew my mind those days...
Viva Macba ! 🏁🏁
Thanks for an in-depth look at one of the most insane street-skate spots ever👏
Awesome video!
Anyone who has skated there will tell you the same thing, best flatground in the world. Don't know what it is about it but every trick you do just feels right, I barely even skated the ledges when I was there
It's true, feels so much better than any where else when your tail hits the floor
It’s been said that was corruption
Lucky for us skaters
It’s a stone carryed from some place in Africa . Very expensive . Once an engineer told me it cost 7-8 times if u did with spanish stone
So corruption is not always bad
I remember this guy from watching FLIP Sorry on VCR when i was a small child. Great memories. Now 20 years later i named my dog Flip.
This is dope
Awesome video and the commentary is Legendary! He’s a great dude! :)
really nice documentary
For stalin plaza and macba are the two momumental european skateplazas in Europe. They are sill skatable and skateboarding there has progressed so much in the last 25 years.
amazing commentary from a legendary skater, thanks for bringing me back🙏🏾
this was awesome. more bastien.
Thank you bastein
I teared up when he said "long long time" 😂 i love skateboarding
I will NEVER forget being a 16 yr old kid watching Bastien kick flip front board that rail in Sorry. Fuckin A that was a unique feeling that can’t really be duplicated nowadays.
The fact that more people haven’t gotten hurt at MACBA is amazing in its own self
Viva Macba viva Salabanzi 🙌
Awsome video ! Thank You Jesus for this awsome spot ! 🙌
2000. I sat watching a young Bastien (just fresh off the Flip Sorry part) absolutely rip macba to shreds. 6 trick lines every go. Passed me a nice pollen J too hehe
Take a drink every time you hear MACBA
The EMB of Spain 🤙🤙🍻
Great video, especially with Bastien! Only clip I missed in this video is Hans Claessens doing the whole ledge one wheel wheelie for a carhartt commercial. Did not understand how that was even possible when i was a kid.
Yea boii have a nice day everyone!
Bastien é muito foda!!!, 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Brian Wenning. The style he had will go down in history. Rep. Jersey Shore
great video. Even though Joslin's big spin is amazing, Tiago has the best trick on that spot! That switch bs ts is insane!!
Saw Bastien at MACBA the other day. Wow
Yeah he was joining his girlfriend at barcelona
Great doc, no footage of Nassim Lachhab is an absolute crime though, dude killed it there in the past few years
This was dope! I hope Le Dome is another spot in Europe that y’all cover.
Was there a couple months ago. Was surprised to see they put a wheel chair ramp in the landing of the big double set. Hopefully it's not permanent cuz I wanna see more tricks go down there
@@andyjohnson4008 I’ve always wondered why I haven’t seen any recent footage from that spot. I guess the wheelchair ramp solves that mystery. Lol! Also agreed that I wanna see more tricks & lines go down there.
Bastien has hands down the best style in skateboarding.
His landing ass down
Is the best. Most stylish
I'll never forget first hearing Johnny Rotten say that name... "Bastien Salabaaaanzi!" lol
The best skater
Dope aF yo 🔥
Danny Cerezini did a kickflip back noseblunt way back before Trent. Danny killed that ledge-gap
So good
Banzi is a great speaker
Used to live around the corner from Macba. Probably one of the dodgiest areas in town but it has its charm. Raval forever!
