UPDATE: Bastien Salabanzi Parts Ways With Primitive
I wanna thank Primitive for all of those years, and beautiful memories together. I will miss my squad, friends, and family. I’ve been skating for 26 years; and I can tell when I ain’t doing what I’m suppose to. And that’s why I decided with a smile and plenty of serenity to quit Primitive to do me. I wanna skate the way it feels right to my heart and soul.
Primitive has not issued a statement on Salabanzi’s departure as of yet. You can view his farewell post below.
UPDATE 01.26.20: Primitive released the below statement yesterday evening regarding Salbanzi’s departure.
