Seems kind of a dumb concept. I kind of wish they just got all new people this year. Should be some good match ups though.
For people that don't want to watch the video:
- Berra and Koston decide to do teams
- They each pick their own teammates and they will all compete within eachother untill there is one sole winner to represent each side.
- Berra's team thus far: Mike Mo, Shane O'Neill, Chris Cole, Nyjah, Cory Kennedy
- Koston's team: P-Rod, Morgan Smith, Torgy, Ishod
-
Watching this on yt will feel really good.
-
I guess this is when most of the slap community checks out the berrics, just for the BATB.
-
That was fucking corny and overacted
-
(http://i.imgur.com/ssoin.jpg)
in all seriousness, looking forward to the battles.
-
The games already seem good or have potential:
Mo vs Shane
Cole vs Nyjah
P-Rod vs Morgan
Ishod vs Torgy
-
would have been good too see some new faces, but morgan smith is rad to watch whatever he's skating
-
nike vs DC
way to mix it up
-
seems really dc/nike influenced with the choices. what about dennis busenitz, and chico brenes, and marc johnson. i want to see new games from them.

I thought the teams were awesome until u made me remember how good these 2 look whilst simultaneously killing it at BATB

obviously that won't happen because all of the battles you mentioned have both dudes on the same team...
who the fuck is steezus christ? and why is he in the video?
looks like Nike SB and DC paid some money for this BATB.

PJ Ladd was the only reason I watched BATB!

needs more down-river guys

There are much weirder names up there. I doubt Ben Raybourn, Antwuan Dixon, or Bucky Lasek would be interested.

They said each team will play each other and the best 2 from each team, plays each other. So in essense, those battles could happen.
Bet you this whole thing will be sponsored by Nike and DC.

and his interviews with the queen of england are always funny

Heard he got a letter on Chris Cole with a Rodeo Flip.
-
The first BATB was the coolest because they had a bunch of guys who you wouldn't associate with flatground. Seriously, who would have guessed that Ellington or Fairfax would have that deep of a bag of tricks?
-
I didn't expect David Gonzalez to be so good at flatground.
-
Did anyone give a fuck about the last BATB? What makes Berra think I'll give a shit about this? I can't wait for all the kids to start copying this shit at the park.
-
First and foremost any draft should be done snake fashion, secondly how do you go through 9 picks and one of them isn't PJ?

I wish they'd have a sane vs. insane BATB. On the insane team they could have Doug Brown, Andy Mac, Jeremy Rogers, Lizard King, Berra, Gator, Mark Gonzales...the list could go on and on.

lucas needs to be in this. would've gone far in the one he was in if not for lutzka and his dreaded front 3 flips.
i want to see louie barletta in this shit too.
oh and jerry should be in it again, would've killed it had henot been hurt or whatever.
steve and eric should pick dudes they know that kill it at skate that haven't been in the contest a thousand times.
-
need laun in this
-
Omg I can't believe they happened to come up with an idea just as the cameras were rolling, so lucky!!!
- and so much for the berrics providing a platform for up-and-comers to get coverage and establish a name for themselves, this is just an 'elite' circle jerk.
that aside i'll still watch the games, cant deny shit's entertaining
-
Weren't Daewon and Geoff Rowley supposed to be in one of these, too?
-
Sounds regular, They should have a game of skate on the ledges or something like that, Instead of the same shitty flatground, Fuck that pussy ass shit baby babe

My boy was living in LA at the time of the first or second BATB. He went to the finals and said they had 15 kegs in one of the rooms.

Me too. That would be so awesome. Add Gou Miyagi, Todd Falcon, and Richie Jackson to your list
haha, can you imagine a Todd Falcon vs Doug Brown game?

rodney mullen.

that would be so sick

rodney mullen.

This is pretty much who's gonna be there but there might be a few substitutions
Mike mo, Billy marks, Benny Fairfax, Pj lad, Chris Cole, Dennis Busenitz, David Gonzalez, Torey Pudwill, Jimmy Carlin, Corey Kennedy, Peter Ramondetta, Mark Appleyard, Paul Rodriguez, Lem Villemin, Felipe Gustavo, Ronnie Creager, Danilo Cerezini, Rodrigo Tx, Davis Torgerson, Sewa Kroetkov, Tom Asta, Alex Mizurov, Shane O'neill, Willow, Morgan Smith, Wade Desarmo, Luan Oliveira, Ishod Wair, Albert Nyberg, Tommy Sandoval, Nyjah Huston
so literally everyone from last year besides Nyjah? that would suck.
-
Yeah seriously?fuck sponsors, should be all new guys, plus pj p-rod ck1 and luan.

PJ's taking it this year for the 3 stripes. Over due.

just now actually watched the video. ill admit it does make it seem kind of interesting i guess but dear god this shit was like watching jersey shore
-
Weren't Daewon and Geoff Rowley supposed to be in one of these, too?
That would hardly be fair.

my moneys on mizurov

I always liked this match everything PJ and Ronnie put out.
Also, I think Daewon was voted to be in BATB 2 and he never showed up to the park or confirmed he would do it.

also, does anybody remember that horrendous game with sean whitecomb and carroll? dude was skating super slow and it looked like carroll was going fast on purpose
-
Totally made me think of:
Tony Hawk's Underground 2 - Intro cutscene (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CUhWDOHMic#ws)
Eric Sparrow was such a dick!
-
in any case, i'd like to see Luan or Cory take it. or Dennis.
-
wait a minute now there is teams and coaches. ??? its still skateboarding right?
-
this whole idea is beginning to bother me. i enjoy watching some of these but theres so many little kids that watch this shit everyday and get the idea that they should just play skate all fuckin day. kids are doin bigflips before they can 5-0 a ledge. and this does seem do be influenced by dc and nike seeing the same people is gettin kinda old
-
Damn im surprised as everyone else that pj wasnt picked first wasnt he in top 3 every year? plus that style damn
-
They should've done it Pokemon style, both guys pick a team and then you put up a guy to play and the opponent chooses one of his guys to battle him.

They seem to be picking some people that didn't perform that well in the past like Malto and Carlin. Nick Tucker is good on flat though, I bet Keelen has a lot of swtich stuff on lock and glad Sebo got in.
And damn....the whole DC team seems in minus Wes, Mikey and the older pros.
-
They DID play the race card! Unreal! The earlier poster who said it would get racial, pat yourself on the back.
This is what they call "identity politics." Berra knows all about this. It's talked about in the first chapter of a book he's read.

Maybe they should just pick the dude who grips the most boards at each of the shops that are still paying to be part of their Unified Project bullshit. At least they'd finally see some sort of return.

I rooting for team Koston. Hopefully PJ wins this shit.

taking flatground skating that serious = gay
-
My guess is they'll never let Rodney Mullen compete, because it's just not fair to everyone else. He's thrice as good as the next best flat ground tech skater. He could beat everyone else in exactly 5 turns.

dont be so quick to throw hate. i dont mind if niggas have they opinions but ignorance is whack as fuck.

Since when have they cared about consent?the one where the public got to vote had like 8 guys who were chosen back out.

yea the one where the public got to vote. nigga the public didnt vote on this now did they? they cant just say "oh ima get rodney mullen" without mullen actually being available/willing to participate. especially in that scripted ass video.
-
Mullen genuinely and modestly said in his autobiography that he doesn't compete anymore because he got tired of just winning all the time, and he felt bad for his opponents for dominating them so badly.
-
If Rodney was in it, I wonder if everyone he faces would have to do all of their tricks switch too.

Rodney is the best dude around

I wasn't there so I'm basically talking out my ass, but I could see how they would want to film a critical trick again if they'd find out the the cameramen were zooming in on someones as crack at the time or whatever. You know, because they only care about appearances and pleasing their fans who are teens who don't actually skate.

^why does berra act like nobody on this planet has ever played a game of skate with three skaters before? or is it because he invented the game of skate?

Berra invented skateboarding. You should get on your knees and pray to lord Berra. Before the berrics, all there was to do for entertainment was pushing a hoop with a stick or kicking a tin can of beans down the street.

I'm surprised PJ would even agree. He's been to the final four in every single one and still hasn't won. You'd think he'd be burnt out.

i hope mullen secretly agrees with the majority of slap and thinks berra/the berrics is whack and has that reason for not entering this

We don't talk about those times...the dark ages.
Praise Lord Berra for bringing us out of the darkness and into the light of skateboarding, the grand activity he invented.
All in favor of changing it to Berra Boarding?

I'm down for the term berra boarding but I'm pretty sure my friends were playing skate a week before the first batb came out, coulda been the week after tho

He probably looks at the berrics the same way most real skaters do. Its a site for frequent web-clips of pros skating a small private park. Nothing more, nothing less. Ill admit berra certainly does seem like he's milking it but at the same time I gotta respect his hustle he puts alot of hard work into that shit and the footage is good. Now I hardly EVER check out the berrics anymore but its a cool way to kill some time & watch some good skateboarding. I seen that shit since day one (literally) and it really is kinda dope how he turned a lil unimportant website into an internet phenomenon, no matter how corny that shit can be sometimes. Id say that overall they've had a postive impact on skateboarding, although that shit certainly has its flaws

I think COTG said it on here. I think alot of us assume people are good on flat since they skate so well on ledges/stairs/whatever but they really aren't. Willow was pretty damn horrible in the last BATB and Lucas wasn't nearly as good as I thought. Even Luan had a hard time with all that kickflip 360 shit but that is cause the trick is almost a standard with people that have a good flat game.

^why does berra act like nobody on this planet has ever played a game of skate with three skaters before? or is it because he invented the game of skate?
seriously, its not that hard. he just needs to learn when to shut up.

McClung qualifier match.
I always liked Taylor's style the most, surprised to see he didn't do that well, shows the relative unimportance of flatground skating I guess.
-
Can't wait to see Moose and Boo skate.

I'm sort of disappointed with the choices they made. These things are becoming redundant, they are getting the same dudes every time. Plus, my first pick would have been Rodney Mullen. These dudes were too focused on the young guns to even think of the legends. Idiots.
present day mullen? you know he's like 85 years old right
-
I'm down for the term berra boarding but I'm pretty sure my friends were playing skate a week before the first batb came out, coulda been the week after tho
Pfft. I heard some old timer at the skatepark say he was playing SKATE with his friends months before batb. Had to ask him, well if you invented this awesome game all by yourself where's the video footage? Where's the brackets painted on the walls? Where's the website? Shut him right the fuck up. Hate it when people try to steal Steve's shine.

This S K A T E this is quickly becoming the new freestyle skateboarding, kids can do crazy flip tricks on the ground but cant drop in on a quarter pipe

i hope mullen secretly agrees with the majority of slap and thinks berra/the berrics is whack and has that reason for not entering this
He probably looks at the berrics the same way most real skaters do. Its a site for frequent web-clips of pros skating a small private park. Nothing more, nothing less. Ill admit berra certainly does seem like he's milking it but at the same time I gotta respect his hustle he puts alot of hard work into that shit and the footage is good. Now I hardly EVER check out the berrics anymore but its a cool way to kill some time & watch some good skateboarding. I seen that shit since day one (literally) and it really is kinda dope how he turned a lil unimportant website into an internet phenomenon, no matter how corny that shit can be sometimes. Id say that overall they've had a postive impact on skateboarding, although that shit certainly has its flaws
this ^
that being said, jerry has all these dudes shook, too bad he's not in it.

Rodney in it would be awesome hell i wouldn't care if he was knocked out first round (unlikely) I just want to see new footage from him, even if it is in a game of skate.
Beyond that I all i want from this battle is something fun. i've seen enough flatground kickflips in the previous rounds to last a lifetime. what else have you pros got? allow no complys or freestyle, fucking anything just make it fun.
-
i always wanted to see them do a series where they play SKATE ona flatbar. THAT would yield some interesting footage

They mispelled Luan de Oliveira`s name....

yeah they have that whole park and just play flatground skate. it basically comes down to consistency over anything

Maybe Rodney doesn't want anything to do with the berrics whatsoever? I can only imagine that's why half the people that should be in there are not.

Just because his name was up there it doesn't mean he was available or even wanted to do it. Is Rodney even at the same skill level anymore?

There's a video out of Kevin Romar vs. Louie Lopez, and they play skate on a flat bar. Twas pretty interesting. Actually the whole thing was, like, a 3-round contest. First was a stair set/hubba, second was a combo section with a couple of small sets, and I think they did the flat bar for bonus...However hell the order was, it was interesting and fun to watch, and I wish they employ a similar idea at the BATB5, instead of the usual affair.

no i figured that cause there were alot of dues that i know would never do it on that board but im sure the guy could dominate it and if not it would just be awesome to watch. rodney's just awesome i dont skate like him or even want to but its just so his personality love that guy. but i second hsu he could dominate i had him winning the second one. you ever see those vids of him in his garage just doing crazy flatground haha. he would drop a storm flip too it'd be so tight. you know too that if he was in it he would really want to win like secretly just bust out his old crazyass tricks man i would love that. i just hope they get more creative. they should do weirder stuff like the carroll koston battle where they were doing weird stuff i want that.

late flips in a game of skate are ok, but i'd rather see tricks that the opponent stands a chance of at least getting close to. if someone did a fakie biggerspin late flip that would be sick but it's just so out of reach for everyone else, like lutzka's fs 360 kickflips. it's no fun knowing there's no chance the other person will come anywhere close to it.

indeed, this is battle 5. I've seen enough kickflips on flat and stock tricks to last a life time. seeing a stylish stock trick is nice but what else have you pros got? give me some wacky no comply pressure flip late flip or something, something fun and interesting. sketchy or not go nuts go back to 1992. battle at the berrics needs julio de la cruz.

Theres been 4 battles worth of tricks everyone can get close to, isn't that enough? someone SHOULD throw fakie biggerspin late flips and the like and spice the games up and win this thing. this isn't a game of "fair" its a game of "skate" with a hefty prize at the end at the end I might add.

After a 5th time around, this format is getting tired. Here is my suggestion on how to spice things up:
-Have the skaters play a round of skate, like normal.
-Once one skater wins, bring out an Element brand (TM) high ollie bar
-Start the bar high and go backwards in height
-Whoever can't ollie it when the other skater can is eliminated
That'll make it wayyy better.

a couple of things..........
i'm going against the stream but i was going for manny from the start. I don't know why but i haven't been a huge fan of PJ after WHL. I liked Mannys goofyness in this game.
I love it when there is trick after trick without a break in the editing. The sound of pop and land, again and again is oddly soothing haha.

if you are a PJ shoe sponsor, you really get your money's worth. Zoomed in on his feet for a long ass 6 minute game, every round until the finals.
im getting very used to seeing those adidas on his feet, i seriously couldnt imagine him getting on any other company by now. they needa just pull the trigger on the deal & drop that pro-model
i like to think they're doing one of those "welcome to the team here's a full video part for free" maneuvers with PJ and they're just waiting while he stacks enough footage between that and the plan b video. they probably aren't, but i like to think it anyway.
Yea, there's no way he's got on anything but adidas

Manny is surprisingly good at flatground. If he was playing against anyone else but PJ he probably would've had a better chance at winning. I thought it was going to be an easy game for PJ. Half way through the game when they were both on K I was routing for Manny to win. I love PJ but 90 percent of the time I'm always rooting for the underdog to win. Also, it seems like PJ was a bit off that game. Missed some simple tricks on offense and defense that he would normally have.

-Have the skaters play a round of skate, like normal.
-Once one skater wins, bring out an Element brand (TM) high ollie bar
-Start the bar high and go backwards in height
-Whoever can't ollie it when the other skater can is eliminated

I might be wrong but I feel like Reda is trying to boost his own career infront of the camera. Playing the nice sincere guy just doesn't work.
PJ looked like he was on another planet during those pre-post game interviews.
Him missing the switch back heel twice was a surprise.
I might be reading into this too much but have you noticed how Eric ignores the crap about God having mercy when he reads the rules? I always thought that bit of the script was lame.

God damn.
Mike Mo pops his tricks so high, and his board control is on point.
I don't want to speculate, but it kinda looked like he wasn't trying super hard at the end. Like, the fakie or nollie big flip, he just kinda said 'whatever'. It just looked like Theotis had to work more for every trick.

i think theo's back heel scraped the ground on that front 180 heelflip. mike mo is a monster on flat so it doesnt really surprise me that he won however isnt it a lil unfair having eric as a judge when its supposed to be team berra vs team koston? i mean, he didnt really have any suspect calls other than that front heel MAYBE, but still.

WHY DID THEOTIS GET A RE DO ON THAT LAST FS HEEL?
HE LANEDED IT AND DIDNT TOUCH HIS HANDS OR FEET
WHY THE FUCK IS KOSTON THE REF? IT SHOULD BE SOMEONE ELSE
THIS SHIT IS SO FUCKING STUPID
I agree with you! That was a mis-call on that front heel for sure, and if they're competing against each other then why would Sir Koston be a ref at all? I think the concept is pretty cool this time though.

Agreed. Also, if history has taught me anything, it's that black dudes who ride skateboards can nollie heel. Theotis landed his, but..... :-\

It's over saturation. This shit is just getting old. I wish they used all new people this time around. As much as I like to see Mike Mo, I already know he will get somewhere close to the finals and that kind of makes every match lame with him.

It seems like it's become a bit dry. 1 and 2 were more fun. How did they kill it? The Koston / Berra idea is pretty weak. Reda should go back to giving people shit. The whole serious contest chit is terrible. What trick are you going to do first? Who gives a fuck?

battle at the berrics has well and truly lost its steam. I don't know how long i've been saying it but they need to lose the rules, anything goes! I honestly dont care who wins this time. and i really dont care which team wins. I think i'm watching out of habit more than anything.

I like Marquise a lot, but that motherfucker should be able to do a bs bigspin properly. Personally, I would have counted that particular one as it wasn't really sliding around like your typical cheater ones, but unpopped bigspins didn't fly since before Berrics rules. I expected a lot more out of him, but it's clear he didn't give a flying fuck.
Also, Saxman made this game almost worth the watch. Hating on him is futile.

that would actually be tight. shit has gotten really dry. even if it's 2 people playing that i actually give a shit about (very rare). during the first 2 i would know each game that was coming out & when. i'd stay up later then i'd planned just to watch games. blah blah blah. now i forget that shit is even going on till it's over or close to being over & then go back and watch a few games before i get bored & realize why i forgot about them. hopefully this one will be better.
-
one time i saw some kids playing LINES instead of SKATE. there was a ledge on one side and a flatbar on the other.
they would do a trick on the ledge, a flatground trick, and a trick on the flatbar.
that would be a good way to change it up. im sure if some 14 years olds in venice can do it, the top pros/ams can too.
-
There used to be some segment in the Berrics where two guys went head to head trying to get a certain trick on the hardrail. Usually it took each one like 8 tries to get it, so a whole game of SKATE would probably be a bit on the boring side...
Weirdo tricks (as requested ever since the first BATB) could be fun, some game might go down with just 5 stupid no-comply variations but, thinking back to the Mike V vs Chris Cole match, I'm sure some of the guys could hang.

you're talking about the one trick battle royals. Obstacle SKATE is much faster paced than having 2 guys try to land a single difficult trick before the other one. the trick consistency has to be more at a more contest run level. Flatground tricks are cool but not every good skater is a master at flip tricks, there are other things that should be showcased as well. imagine a tournament between guys who kill mini-ramps like daewon, cody mcentire, etc., playing S.K.A.T.E. on quarterpipe setting various tricks they can do 1st try...Tell me that wouldnt be sick!

I am a rusty ass old dude, but I would love to get out and just push around. I don't know anyone who skates there since I've been gone since 2006. There definitely looks to be some spots.
St. Joe, dude? Here's a funny ass story that has nothing to do with The Berrics. But a lot to do with St. Joe (which is where I always describe as "where you go to give up." Sorry, man!)
I had a homie come in town back when I first lived there in the early 00s and he wanted to do a serious night out. We went to The Velvet Dog over by Rainbow Blvd at 3pm and didn't leave until 2am. Our fucking tab was about $450 because my homie, Andy, ran into a girl's night out and bought a couple rounds like an idiot. Anyway, we weren't done so we went to the Isle of Capri Casino. I hadn't even picked by blackjack table when Andy comes up and says, "Yo, we gotta hit it. I just lost my pants." I asked him how much and he just looked at me and held up four fingers. He lost FOUR bills in about 20 minutes. Ridiculous. Anyway, we leave and I am going to find us a hotel because it's about 4am and we somehow wound up over in the Bottoms by all those industrial looking places. I am drunk driving like an idiot and telling Andy that this is exactly where Nicholson became the Joker in the OG Batman movie. The Axis Chemical Plant! Haha! I decide I am too drunk and I drive back to the casino and we pass out. I wake up to Andy moving my feet off the dash which he tells me he is doing because this sketchy looking dude is looking like he's gonna rob us. I wake up later. It's daylight out now and Andy is driving with the windows down and he's drinking a can of beer and smoking a cigarette and singing some classic rock song. I fall back asleep, and the last thing I remember is staggering into a hotel room. I wake up and I am all panicky because I don't know where I am. I go wander around and I don't recognize shit so I ask the front desk.
"You're in St. Joseph, MO, sir." St. Joe is about an hour and a half from where I was living. Fucking Andy. I don't even know how/why he went there and neither does he. But seriously, that town sucks!
St. Joe is just strange. we just spent thousands of dollars on sidewalks that NOBODY uses. hahaha just don't get drunk and end up in the south end, you'll wake up to the smell of slaughtered pigs and dirty white people.That entire night sounds like the perfect precursor to ending up in Tha Joe.

each one of their kickflips were higher than all of theotis' tricks added together.

"Are you gonna do varial flips?"
"No"
"Ima do one"
It's weird how much Nyjah talks now. Romar could have had that.

Yes. Yes, they do. Romar is still the winner in my eyes <3
Berra looks like such a shitty Amish farmer.
I agree. hahaha

Nollie inward heel late 180 was sick as fuck! I still have little to no interest in Nyjah's skateboarding and it's nearly unexplainable why.
I'm looking forward to Cory Kennedy wiping the floor with him in the next round.
-
Romar looked really awkward when Nyjah alluded to varial flips being a kid's trick and, therefore, not a trick to be taken seriously. Romar was probably thinking "Damn, this nigga is hatin on one of my best tricks down Carlsbad!"

Varial flips are sick, only dicks hate on that trick

I'm pretty sure I posted this in a varial flips thread haha
But back to the actual game, Nyjah never struck me as the flatground king. He probably has the staple tricks down, but if someone throws in some crazy 360 variations I dunno if he'll make it. Whatever, good game, liked Romar's 360's

WHY DOESNT REDA PRETEND TO ACT LIKE AN ASSHOLE ANYMORE!?!

So far all of these games have been really predictable. I was stoned and this one still wasn't cool.

WHY DOESNT REDA PRETEND TO ACT LIKE AN ASSHOLE ANYMORE!?!
He probably just doesn't give a shit and he's kinda forced to do two interviews before every game and two after.
He's still an asshole in his Wednesday's with Reda....well, word around town is that he is...I mean, it's not like I watch anything on the berrics... :-X

Keelan has balls. comin' out all guns blazing. If he continues on this trajectory he will become the mid-00's Gilbert Arenas of skating.

I honestly didn't see anything that indicated Keelan having a big ego. I'm not crazy for his skating, but there seemed to be nothing wrong with his character.
Maybe it's the way he dresses. He was rocking some pretty shiny chains and rings. A giant playboy bunny shirt. A Supra / Mountain Dew hat with the tag still on it. I thought it was funny how he held his mountain dew so that the logo can be seen hahaha

Is that hat the first new thing he has ever owned? Is that why he keeps the tags on?

Seriously dude? Having corporate sponsors is not selling out, it just means more money in your pocket so you can pay the bills. When will people realize this? I'm currently writing music and it's not for the money, it's for the love. But I'd have to be really stupid to hope for a career in music in which I don't make any money and live a life of poverty...that just simply makes no sense.

I dunno, you can tell he was being pretty friendly with Tommy the whole game, so to me he didn't do anything wrong.
But I will say it again, he dresses way too "fresh" when he's skateboarding. Probably could have won without all that metal weighing him down.

Having kooky corporate sponsors in order to make as much money as possible is fine. I get it. I meant that, from a strictly aesthetic standpoint, applying a mountain dew patch to one's hat just doesn't look cool. That's just my opinion. I fully get it, though, especially if some corporate higher-up gave him a directive to do so. Gotta pay the bills, like you said. And if some dude who works for PepsiCo or whatever offers some kind of monetary incentive to drink Mountain Dew (label out) on camera, do that too. Gotta be a team player, just like any job.

All the mountain dew/flashy chains aside, Keelan will probably have one of the best parts in the DGK video. I think the first part might go to Marquise Henry but Keelan's part will standout for sure.

That's not even the point. Bottom line is skateboarders and all other athletes/artists are entitled to make money for being good at what they do. How they make the money is THEIR business, not yours and doesn't speak less of their character unless it's against their integrity. Maybe it simply doesn't bother him to be sponsored by Pepsi and they offer a lot of money. Would you ditch an opportunity like that just because it's a big corporation?

I could give a big fat fuck about what people are wearing, it was just nice to see a dude come out and do some different shit for once. He also has this weird ability to hang in the air until his board is done flipping.

Im interested to know how old all the people are who wanna talk shit about guys "selling out". If you have been off your mommys teet for any time at all, youd think differently about what people do to pay their bills. Give me a few grand, hell a few hundred or whatever every time I sip a Dew Ha on camera and you better believe Im gonna be all hopped up on Mountain Dew.

i will wear head to toe mountain dew gear for the next six months for ONE of the checks he gets for that hat.

My favorite part of Reda's pre-game chat with Keelan: the disconnect between Reda's handshake and Keelan daps.
Even though I moderately enjoy his skating, I agree there are cringe-worthy aspects of public persona; among them: personal websites, desperately trying to resurrect that 90s trend where you keep the tags on, and the Tiger Woods-like elbow sink he does after he gets his first letter on Fynn.

The hat tag thing looks pretty lame in my opinion. I actually really like Mt Dew though, probably wouldn't mind being sponsored by them, the logo is way less offensive that that monster bullshit

no; how they make THEIR money is through OUR business, and that makes how they they make their money OUR business.

Yes.
If I were in the position to be paid by a giant corporation, then I'm good enough to pull an offer (a smaller one, obviously) from a company that I actually respected, and wanted to be associated with. I would absolutely pass on the six figures for a smaller check to help support and promote something I would have been a part of anyway, without them paying me for it. Would you wear Ku Klux Klan gear for a big enough paycheck? That's all you're really saying with the "Who cares what they stand for, get the money" approach. People have different morals. Some people find giant corporations evil. Other people don't. Lets be honest, though, a lot of the guys in skateboarding who have giant sponsors aren't doing it because they love the product, or support how Nike shoes are made. They just want the check.
But that's just me, and some people.
Maybe Keelan is on the opposite side of the fence. Maybe he doesn't have a problem with giant corporations, and he's actually really fucking psyched on Mountain Dew. If he doesn't have a problem with these companies, why the fuck wouldn't he take a giant check from them?

I completely understand where you're coming from on this and your last paragraph pretty much states what I was trying to say. It's no one's fucking business but his who he chooses to associate with. I also think that a lot of people in this thread don't seem to get that making money is an essential part to being a skateboarder for a living....how are you going to continue to do it if you can't afford gas to travel and food to eat.
On a lighter note, been there done that, everyone has a drunk rant every now and then ;)

listen man, if you are a pro skateboarder you are a PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE. sponsorships are where most of your income comes from. some people would rather drive a Benz or be able to put there family ina nice big house. its important to still have fun with the shit and enjoy what you do but at the end of the day everything you do with your career cant be 100% "for the love". its easy to say you wouldnt turn the money down, but there are (a few) wealthy pros who make much more than your average upper-middle class person. if you wanna make the $$$ like that by simply skateboarding all day you gotta make a few sacrifices. some of yall might look at a target or red bull sponsor as lame & not authentic, but to the person signing that contract they might feel like its a good deal given there own personal circumstances. people are gonna do what they feel is best for them. i say as long as you keep skating and putting out footage, sign with whatever sponsors you want. you're a professional athlete, getting endorsement deals & the perks that come along with it is an easy way to come up.

listen man, if you are a pro skateboarder you are a PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE. sponsorships are where most of your income comes from.
But most "PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE"s are judged in a very quantifiable way. If you can score a certain amount of points or run a certain time or help your team win no one is going to talk shit on your gear, music selection, corporate endorsements, etc.
Skateboarding is a bit different. The skater is basically marketing them self. No one cares about contests, video parts and photos are king. People on SLAP joke on skaters all the time for having kooky sponsors. A lot of skaters I respect have never really had to go the corporate route and are very successful (Mike C, Rickk, Ed, Reynolds).
I also completely understand the other side. If I was saving for the future, had a family to feed, etc. and Wal-Mart came knocking, I'd probably listen to what they had to say. When you take that money you're telling the world that's what you're into. I couldn't imagine Guy's Mouse part or Gonz in Video Days with them rocking a neon Monster shirt and a Target hat in every clip.

i see what you're saying, and there are ways to do good for yourself outside of sponsorships but if all you wanna do is skate all day (not manage a brand, etc) sponsorships are the way to go. look at P-Rod for example. dude has the corporate sponsor HOOK UP. mtn dew remodeled his private park, target gives him free gift cards to buy whatever he wants, AT&T gives em free cell phone service...i would not mind telling the world that thats what im into, and all he has to do is skate & goto a few business meetings. id say thats a good deal. again, once the shit becomes your actual job you gon have to look at things a bit differently. would yall rather work a 9-5 making decent money while tryna squeeze in time to skate or would you rather skate all day with a few extra logos on you to be a millionaire? theres the middle ground where most pro's are at but personally if i had the opportunity id take the sponsorship. that is, if i agreed with the contract. i wouldnt just pick up ANY sponsorship that throws money my way but if it was a good deal for me & my situation overall id prolly take it.

Arizona sucks. I mean, it's ok if you're into just drinking sugar water, but there isn't a single tea leaf in the tea, and the rest is just corn syrup. Super overrated. People think they're getting a bargain by getting a tall can for a dollar. Jokes on you, bro, it's just water and sugar.
On the topic of sponsorships, I'll let most kooky sponsorships slide because:
a) I think being a pro skater is one of the hardest jobs in sports. Think of how many people are in the NBA, MLB, NFL etc. and now look how many pro skaters there are. Now look how many pro skaters make more than 100k. All the "real" athletes start out at a few hundred grand. minimum. I think skaters earn their pay and then some
b) It sucks to think that our favorite pros can be out of the industry and working shitty jobs just to keep the lights on. Wasn't Heath delivering pizza at one point? Most of these guys don't go to college, and a good number of them don't even finish high school. But they found something they love and they're talented at. If they want to leach some corporate asshole's money just by putting a patch on their hat, I say fuck it, and get that money.

Arizona sucks. I mean, it's ok if you're into just drinking sugar water, but there isn't a single tea leaf in the tea, and the rest is just corn syrup. Super overrated. People think they're getting a bargain by getting a tall can for a dollar. Jokes on you, bro, it's just water and sugar.
I remember that drink being the shit back in high school. It was the drink to get if you were on a tight budget. But it never quenched your thirst at all haha. All it does is make you even more thirsty because of all the sugar.

I don't fuck with questionable tea anymore unless I'm craving some sugary stuff. They leave a bad after taste and I'm a lot thirstier than before I drank the damn thing haha

Brisk quenches my thirst and fills my stomach up. All I really drink is tea nowadays. I might try some of that Japanese shit you posted.

yeah, if you know of any japanese markets, try japanese soft drinks and teas (which are unsweetened usually, so you might not like it at first). Don't be surprised by the price though, shit is imported

Fuck that shit then, I don't wanna pay more than 3 dollars. I could've sworn I saw those teas or something similar at my local grocery store haha

brisk is hardly tea ::)
Feel free to complete blow me off and do you're own thing - really, just do what you want - but the fact you drink a lot of sugary soft drinks just means you have an addiction to sugar.
You should really try cutting back. Try brewing your own tea. Before I got my single-serve thing, I would just boil a couple cups of water. Nowadays, I drink about 2-3 cups of tea a day. The only things I drink besides tea are almond milk and water.
You can remove sooo much sugar from your diet, and you'll be thankful in the long run
-
Fuck that shit then, I don't wanna pay more than 3 dollars. I could've sworn I saw those teas or something similar at my local grocery store haha
They have ito en stuff at chinese markets actually.
For 4 or 5 dollars you can get a big bottle of tea, I think it's a 2 liter bottle.
Regardless, they're pretty standard teas that you can brew yourself. You can buy cheap boxes of green / oolong tea bags and brew them in a big pot. I make the tea strong so when i pour it over ice it dilutes itself. I leave it in a pitcher and when it's cold it's practically the same as buying it.
Honestly though, if you like brisk and arizona, i don't know if you'll like regular unsweetened tea. I offer my roommates tea and coffee all the time but they never want any because there's no sugar haha
-
I've brewed tea on my stove cooled it down and put ice in it and I do enjoy non sugary tea. Me enjoying Brisk and Arizona doesn't mean I'm addicted to sugar and I probably don't even drink it as much as you think. I've had one Arizona and one Brisk this whole month. I don't think they classify as soft drinks either. Y'all on some tea elitism type shit haha.

They don't really taste like tea to me, but I'm sure there's *some remnants of tea haha. But yeah, I know. I like to have energy drinks and shit once in a while, but in the long run, you just feel less shitty when you're drinking stuff without so much sugar and random chemicals.
Anyways, there's really nothing special about that japanese tea. It's just convenient is all. If I'm out skating if i had to choose to buy something from the store, I usually go for that, or just drink water from a fountain.

your words: "all I really drink is tea nowadays"
can you blame me for thinking you drink it frequently?
With that said, there is definitely room for elitism in tea. Especially when it's tea versus a water-corn syrup hybrid.
Not hating on you; just sayin'

Arizona sucks. I mean, it's ok if you're into just drinking sugar water, but there isn't a single tea leaf in the tea, and the rest is just corn syrup. Super overrated. People think they're getting a bargain by getting a tall can for a dollar. Jokes on you, bro, it's just water and sugar.
On the topic of sponsorships, I'll let most kooky sponsorships slide because:
a) I think being a pro skater is one of the hardest jobs in sports. Think of how many people are in the NBA, MLB, NFL etc. and now look how many pro skaters there are. Now look how many pro skaters make more than 100k. All the "real" athletes start out at a few hundred grand. minimum. I think skaters earn their pay and then some
b) It sucks to think that our favorite pros can be out of the industry and working shitty jobs just to keep the lights on. Wasn't Heath delivering pizza at one point? Most of these guys don't go to college, and a good number of them don't even finish high school. But they found something they love and they're talented at.

Okay 1) There is probably at least SOME tea in there
But 2) regardless of the fact, there are probably way more amounts of artificial sugar and random chemicals to negate the health benefits of tea haha.
If you like AZ tea, that's cool, but it's far from the ideal tea haha
EDIT: I forget what splenda is made of, but artificial sweeteners such as aspartame are known to make you hungry and cause cancer. It's not gonna kill you drink one bottle, but if your diet consists of drinking diet sodas all the time, there's a big chance you'll end up with cancer and/or just plain unhealthy

And although I don't know which YOU have, I'm pretty sure on the ingredient list, it doesn't say "green/black TEA LEAVES". Which is what I consider tea. Cause apparently, according to Arizona, you can make tea without leaves.

haha "diet green tea."
EDIT : Once you get used to drinking good tea, or even just mediocre tea self-brewed, you can't go back to Arizona tea mainly because it's so full of sugar that it doesn't really taste like "tea" anymore. But you know, it's whatever, I think Arizona makes okay drinks, I just wouldn't call it tea, in the same way that you can't really consider lactose free milk as just "milk"
And yes, tea is serious business ;)

Well think of it this way, would you still consider something "tea" if it only contained 1% tea? Obviously AZ tea isn't 1% tea but where you draw the line is really up to your discretion. To me, if you're going to mix tea with all this other crap, I wouldn't be able to call it "tea" but I can consider it a sugary drink that "contains tea." But the drink as a whole won't be "tea" to me.
Trust me, you'll quench your thirst better with just straight tea. Please don't think of me as a health nut though, this is coming from the guy who practically worships welch's grape soda...

Point is: if there is real tea in there, it will say. I'm really sorry that some of you think you're actually drinking tea - which Arizona most certainly is not. Filtered water and sugar doesn't make it tea. Once again, it's TEA LEAVES that make it tea.

breh Arizona makes doesnt always make tea. all the watermelon, grape, strawberry kiwi type shit are fruit flavored DRINKS. Nobodys calling that shit "real" tea. THAT shit is most likely just water & sugar but their green tea and anything else that actually says TEA is fairly legit, as far as bottled tea can go. nobody's expecting the same 100% herbal shit you get from the chinese store when they pick up an arizona, therefore quit getting butthurt when people say that they like it.

I posted the ingredients for Arizona green tea already. There was no tea in there.
Look up like one post with my post about Sweet Leaf and Tradewinds bottled teas - they actually contain real tea.
So, no, Arizona is not fairly legit.
And I'm not butthurt that people like it. I'm more or less baffled that people thought - and in your case, still do think - there was actual tea in Arizona, which there clearly is not (at least not out of any of the varieties that I looked up), and it IS just in fact sugar and water.

I used to drink Tradewinds green tea cans a bit; still too sweet for me, but:
http://www.drinktradewinds.com/products/diet-green-tea-with-honey/ (http://www.drinktradewinds.com/products/diet-green-tea-with-honey/)
Ingredients:
Real brewed tea (filtered water, green tea leaves), honey, citric acid, sucralose, sunnett (acesulfame potassium).
How bout Sweet Leaf tea. Let's see:
http://www.sweetleaftea.com/flavors/the+original+sweet+tea (http://www.sweetleaftea.com/flavors/the+original+sweet+tea)
Ingredients: FILTERED WATER, ORGANIC CANE SUGAR, ORGANIC BLACK TEA, AND CITRIC ACID.

hm, now that I look back at the AZ green tea picture that was posted, the label said something along the lines of "Premium Brewed Green Tea using" : then a bunch of ingredients that isn't actually tea. So basically they can call the end product "Green Tea" no matter what the ingredients actually are.
I think it's a similar situation to products that are labeled as "all natural," where it's just used as a means to sell their product rather than to actually inform the buyer of what's really in their food, because I know most "all natural" products contain things that are certainly not natural. Same goes for "FDA approved" products. I forget how it works, but when it comes down to it, you can always sway the FDA to bend the rules with money / politics.
Once again, it's not like AZ tea is going to kill you, but don't be surprised when people tell you that companies are keeping you in the dark about their products. C.R.E.A.M.

Dog you looked up some shit on the web, and I have an actual jug in my possession. Did you not see the picture I posted? 100% natural tea w/ no preservatives or artficial flavors. Like I said not everything arizona puts out is a mucho mango fruit cocktail in a tall boy. My shit got the geishas on it nigga, we all natural over here. Lemme say it one more time just so you understand, NOT ALL ARIZONA DRINKS ARE THE SAME. The little article you found within 30 seconds on bing was clearly only talking about one kind of arizona drink, which were most likely the gas station fruit punch type shit. what I usually buy comes ina jug and only uses a few natural flavors like real honey, which im sure wasn't in your internet ingredients list. So yes bitch, I am drinking tea. I drink all that other arizona shit too tho. Watermelon & strawberry kiwi the best flavors IMO. Grape & mango are the shit as well

ahahah quote of the fucking day
But about the "100% natural tea" claim.
Practically anything can be labeled as "natural" or "all natural" as long as nothing is synthetic aka man made. All the things you find in an Arizona green tea may be found in nature, but not all of it is found in green tea naturally.
And like I said before, I doubt there's any regulation as to what can/can't be labeled "tea." As long as the Arizona tea company wants to label their end product as "tea," they can (Even if none of the end product contains tea truly brewed from tea leaves). Although to be honest I'm not too sure myself, but judging by the label, it truly seems that the arizona green tea you have is not actually green tea, but rather something they call "green tea"

I completely disagree that AZ tea is "as legit as bottled tea can get," but you know, it doesn't really matter. I don't blame you for not really giving a shit, since you're probably not that into tea like I am. If you like it, you like it. Even though you're wrong ;)

Give me your address.
I will personally mail you a box of bottled teas that use actual tea. Ya know, like, water that's been heated up with actual tea leaves in it?
Really. I'm sure you'll find quite quickly that AZ is not the pinnacle of bottled teas...
Note:
When a product says 'All Natural', yes, that means none of it is man-made. Same with USDA certified organic - there is a strict set of guidelines; there can be no bending of the rules.
However, natural doesn't mean it's good for you. Sugar is natural. And while natural cane sugar is indeed superior to, say, splenda, it is still not advised to overindulge in sugar.
So, sk8dood, you have water, natural sugar-type substance, maybe some citric acid and honey...and the AZ marketing team decides to call it tea. I guess it sells better than calling it "drink". Whatever anyone wants to call it, there is no way in hell someone with even a handful of braincells will call it "tea".
I'm not your mom, and I truthfully don't care what you drink. I just merely advise you to broaden your horizons and maybe drink something that your body may enjoy a little more.

To Arizona / the FDA, it's not considered "bending the rules," but to me, it's bending the rules of ethics somewhat. But of course, in the business world...fuck ethics haha
At the same time though, I don't blame people for believing that AZ tea is truly real tea. labels can be confusing to people who don't have the energy to really do any research on it.
I think victor posted a link to sweet leaf earlier. They make some pretty good bottle tea, although I like freshly brewed tea the best ;D

The term "all natural" is mostly bullshit, the definition is in no way strict or even clearly defined. The last revamped official definition of the term for the industry was set back in the 80's. It really just rules out synthetics and food coloring. High fructose corn syrup is FDA "all natural" approved, despite the fact it is created in a lab.
"The two standard high-fructose corn syrups sold today are 42 percent or 55 percent, meaning that 42 percent or 55 percent of the glucose has been chemically altered. The most commonly used in commercial production today is 42 percent and measures about 120 on the sweetness scale.?
Monsanto says it's good, so it must be!

Exactly! I have no qualms with people who just don't care about being as healthy as possible (it gets pretty expensive), but please don't go around telling people AZ diet green tea is healthy...hah

High fructose corn syrup isn't any worse than 'regular' sugar.

High fructose corn syrup isn't any worse than 'regular' sugar.
Most likely, but at the same time, how much of that shit is in most iced teas? I don't put anything in my tea, but that's just my preference. I think the problem with bottled tea is you don't really get an idea of what's in what you drink. With self brewed tea, you can see for yourself how much sweetener you're putting into your tea. I'm not some loony conspiracy theorist, but I pretty much distrust anything processed (even though I'll indulge in them)
It reminds me of when I tried to make milk coffee. There are these canned japanese ones that I wanted to mimic. It kind of grossed me out how much sugar I had to add just to get close to the level of sweetness the canned milk coffee had.

If you go back to the picture though, you have to pay attention to the wording:
Ingredients: Premium brewed Green Tea USING...[ingredients which do not include tea itself].
I'm pretty sure the wording there is vague on purpose so to someone who takes a quick glance at it, it may seem like it is real green tea, but to me, the label translates to
"Ingredients: A drink we arbitrarily call 'green tea' using a mixture of ingredients that mimics the taste and look of green tea."
Think of it this way: if it were truly green tea, what would be the harm in adding one more ingredient onto the list? tea/tea leaves aren't on there because legally they can't if there isn't any in there. So they use a convenient loophole by labeling the end product as green tea. Why? Because legally they're allowed to.
By the way, even if there are antioxidants in bottle tea, there is significantly less in there than actual tea (I'm almost positive the amount of antioxidants in AZ tea are negligible. They only have enough to be able to put that on the label).

DO THEY USE TEA LEAVES WHEN THEY BREW THE TEA?
Yes, we use tea leaves to brew the tea.
So unless they are blatantly lying on their website, they do brew with tea leaves.
They do, however, use HFCS in all of their products, as well as splenda and sucralose (artificial sweetener), sucralose especially in their diet green tea.
So it is not "all natural". And only a little more healthy than drinking a coke. But it is tea.

I would rather have real sugar, but that's not a big deal since I don't drink sugary stuff that often anymore.
And yeah, if it's on their website, they wouldn't lie (I would assume haha)
Although by taste, I don't know how much of the AZ tea is made up of tea brewed from leaves.
You can technically brew a tiny bit of water with one leaf of green tea and be able to say "yes, we brew our tea using tea leaves" (although I doubt they would go through all that trouble just to fuck with us haha).
Point is, no matter what, their green tea does not really taste like green tea to me. If you dilute a teaspoon of gatorade with 2 gallons of water, is it still really gatorade?

a) I think being a pro skater is one of the hardest jobs in sports. Think of how many people are in the NBA, MLB, NFL etc. and now look how many pro skaters there are. Now look how many pro skaters make more than 100k. All the "real" athletes start out at a few hundred grand. minimum. I think skaters earn their pay and then some
b) It sucks to think that our favorite pros can be out of the industry and working shitty jobs just to keep the lights on. Wasn't Heath delivering pizza at one point? Most of these guys don't go to college, and a good number of them don't even finish high school. But they found something they love and they're talented at. If they want to leach some corporate asshole's money just by putting a patch on their hat, I say fuck it, and get that money.
"Ingredients: premium brewed green tea using filtered water"
^As seen on a can of AZ Green Tea with ginseng and honey
I love when people make claims with no factual evidence to support them!
i have a bottle of that same tea in my hands right now "100% natural tea, no preservatives, no artificial color or flavor. sweetened with splenda"
how much you wanna bet victor'll say some shit like "oh you believe everything on a label?" and expect us to believe him & his hater-aid influenced statements.
"Premium brewed green tea using filtered water, high fructose corn syrup, honey, citric acid, natural flavors, ginseng extract, ascorbic acid."
Come on, dudes...really? You can't read a label? No evidence? The evidence is right in front of your face.
THERE'S NO TEA IN THERE
and you think because high fructose corn syrup is natural, that it's healthy? You are seriously bonkers. B-a-n-a-n-a-n-a-n-a-n-a-s
you probably think splenda is healthy, too ::)
Before you try to put me on blast, you should really educate yourself
PLEASE just shut the fuck up for once
How do you know there's no tea in it? Did you go down to the Arizona plant and inspect all of their ingredients?

Fuck tea my nigga.

DO THEY USE TEA LEAVES WHEN THEY BREW THE TEA?
Yes, we use tea leaves to brew the tea.
So unless they are blatantly lying on their website, they do brew with tea leaves.
They do, however, use HFCS in all of their products, as well as splenda and sucralose (artificial sweetener), sucralose especially in their diet green tea.
So it is not "all natural". And only a little more healthy than drinking a coke. But it is tea.

I'm not saying that your recommendation isn't respected, but what if I just like AZ?
I know its not a health product by any means, or the greatest tea on the market, but pound for pound, it has a value that is hard to match.
Some AZ products do contain VYDAMINZ, and while the sugar isn't good for you, it isn't ALL bad.
Sippin' on a MuchoMango, which has 50% vitamin C per serving(might be 25, can't remember) is much better than downing a can of soda that has zero nutritional value.

haha that's funny because even though 90% of my diet is pretty healthy, the other 10% is just full on junk (for when I really don't give a shit). Mcdonalds, grape soda...all that shit...
so yeah, I hear ya haha

I don't want to spend too much time dropping jewels in here, but I stay sipping on the AZ rx energy herbal tonic, and that joint contains 100% vydaminn C per serving, 25% vydamin E, and 25% vydamin A per serving.
It does have a considerable amount of caffeine in it, at 30mg per 8 oz, but caffeine in moderation isn't going to destroy you, and the beneficial elements outweigh the negative aspects.
SIP IT!

honestly, don't let the "healthy" aspects of most food / drink products lure you into buying it. Know what you consume, but for the most part, eat what satisfies you. A lot of people want to have it all: healthy foods with the same taste as the junk they want to eat. So companies capitalize on this by creating products where the labels legally over exaggerate the health benefits of their product, so I wouldn't be too sure about the "benefits outweighing the negatives" claim either. Just because there are vitamins in a 200 calorie juice from concentrate doesn't make it healthy.
But like I said, it really only matters to the extent that you care about. I'm pretty sure AZ tea is okay once in a while, and is most likely more nutritious than a soda haha

Maybe I was wrong about Arizona not containing tea, but can you blame me?
Other (more authentic) bottled tea companies list tea leaves right on the ingredient list, and many other bottled teas do not contain any actual tea and can still legally be called "tea".
Pardon me for not taking everything at face value.
On the real, though, you sound like a 15-year-old. You also sound like you sucked off Sk8dood and somehow inherited some of his ebonics and speech tendencies. When he does it, it's kind of sad, but at least it feels semi-genuine. When you do it, you just sound like a dick rider.
And I think it goes without saying that I know way more about tea than you, seeing as how I actually drink tea that requires you heat up some water, versus opening the tab on a can.
And another thing, I think it's really sad that people who are health-conscious get labeled as "food/health nazis". What the shit is that? It's bad to care about what you eat and drink? You get criticized for reading labels? Some people have their shit so ass-backwards it's not even funny. And if you're going to talk about how your precious 'tea' has vitamin C in it, hey, how about you tell me what vitamin C actually does for your body. If you don't use google, I bet you have no idea. Not to mention the fact that vitamin C is one of the easiest vitamins to get, and you don't need to down 30+ grams of sugar to get it.

I wasn't going to get into this one, but with my other option being talking about BATB I'm gonna have to go with Victor and Jim here. Yes, the fact that SOME types of AZ beverages contain SOME amount of tea is likely true, but your "victory" is purely semantic SkateDood. All I can say is this, human nutrition is a very complicated field of study, and you have demonstrated that you posses very little understanding of it. If you don't care and wish to carry on drinking AZ's products, and insist on calling them teas, you have definitely earned the right to do so, although you will still sound like an idiot to the billions of people on earth who know what tea actually is.
Edit: Could have worded that better, but didn't want to get carried away. You get the point.

If they're really that serious about it, just put the text of the rules below the videos on the website.

"Hey you didn't read the rules!"
Yeah. Awful.
If they're really that serious about it, just put the text of the rules below the videos on the website. Literally no one wants to hear them, most skateboarders can't even read well enough to get through all of them, and it's just the biggest waste of time to make hundreds of games of skate videos with the same rules read through every time.
So stupid.
Seriously. It could just go:
"Alright, it's BATB, X skater vs Y skater. *points down* rules at the bottom, let's ho sham blow."
boom. done.

Yeah it's painful most of the time and unbearable when someone says them weird or with a little accent or inside joke (usually Koston).
Aside from that I'm not ashamed to keep going back for the games, loads of the flatground from PJ, Prod, Busenitz etc is unbelievable.

wow you guys have excellent memory, I forget the rules every week and am relieved to hear them again

Whenever they don't read the rules I know its gonna be a good game no matter what.
-
I wanted Billy to win but in the back of my head I knew Cole would. I don't think Billy would really do well against O'neill so we need Cole to knock him out.

Best game so far. Loved Marks hardflip!

If you're tying to compromise the recital of the rules, why would you do so in a way that only we could see it? Even though I'm sure it's not necessary, it obviously makes more sense for the participants to hear the rules than for us to. The fact that they film it is its own thing.
Come on, man. Critical thinking isn't THAT hard.

Yea, because I'm sure:
a) the participants have never heard the rules
b) it would take too much work to tell them the rules off camera

That was my point. It makes more sense than posting the rules so ONLY the viewers can see it. Because whether they know them or not, the rules obviously matter more to the participants than the viewers.

Mad props for use of helipop. i use that name all the time. I wish it would catch on.
Now that was a game. Maybe the only one that has got me psyched this battle. underflips, late flips, wacky tricks, all the stuff that makes a game of skate fun.

The kid that
read knew the rules off heart made me laugh! He was so stoked it was hilarious!!!

billy marks fakie hardflip was crazy

Finally there was an exciting game to watch.
I was rooting for Billy, but Cole is untouchable, period.

Forrest only brought one shirt to OIAM and then he was like, "Fuck this, I'ma let these dudes know."
And the dude is really good at skating and being a dick. That equals badass.
I just saw some footage where Forrest switch tre'd his shirt off.
what if he switch tre'd off that shit while ripping his shirt off hulkamania style mid air, then he would be archduke badass.

Only in America can there be that much badass. If he did something like that in some girly country like Canada or France, the whole country would just die from being shocked and awed.

pre-game:
-what team are you on?
- who are you playing?
- you nervous?
- if you win the ro-sham-bo, what's your first trick
- good luck
post-game
- what happened?
- was there any point you were worried?
- well, you were victorious/ there's always next time
Reda got conned into this

Holy shit, that was embaressing to watch. I get how it would be pretty intense have all the dudes you looked up to watch you skate but that was some stock tricks he missed. Just cant wait to watch PJ in the final
-

yeah, but felipe is used to skate contests even with a looooooot of pressure on his shoulders and a bigger and louder crowd. (you all konw the tampa-am story) ... so i just think he sucks at flatground ... all he does is training his flip in and out combos :-X

i guess i'm hyped for cory footage.

i'll be really shocked if miller can win. i bet he pops his tricks like nine feet high
-
well, theres your anti-climax.
anyone else find that they cant get to the pause button fast enough after each game to avoid seeing reda's dumb face?
-
Miller's switch heel! :o
-
cab flip like it's a pop shuv...but please cory, not too much enthusiasm!
still rooting for him though. and luan. and malto.
anyway...
-
How did Cory's switch heel not get called a re-do? That shit was all over the place.
-
It's cool that they put new fresh faces in brackets this time but all that means is a really short game because dudes like Matt Miller, Evan Smith, Boo Johnson, Marquise Henry etc. get completely skunked. It's not those dudes aren't good, obviously they fucking rip, but they don't stand a chance against these veteran BATB champs who have robotic-like consistency. It would be sick if the next BATB there was no Shane O'neil or Chris Cole etc. so that we could see some other dudes mess around on flat and get 10 G's.
-
Hopefully Berra annoying chicks I've never heard of (but think the viewer is supposed be impressed by) doesn't become an ongoing trend.
-
Cory Kennedy seems like a cool-ass dude.
-
How random...
Christensen is a member of the Church of Scientology. Her parents became Scientologists in their 20s and raised her to be a Scientologist as well as home-schooling her.
-
Matt Miller has crazy pop and Cory is too good. The intro was so unentertaining I almost didnt want to watch the game (i cant skip around the video on my phone).
-
Weird after the game when they show the names of the skaters
in the matt Miller game they show that nyjah and Kevin tomato have played I don't recall seeing that game but according to the video nyjah won
-
BATB is like United 93 (http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/universal/united93/): Watching is excruciating, you know exactly what's gonna happen, and there's nothing you can do to change the outcome.
-
Wait nvm
-
I was entertained by Matt's ability to pop shit high.
-
i hope that sequence they shot of the row shamb bow will be in the new thrasher
-
What's the point of letting guys enter who barely land a kickflip?
-
Miller's got POP for days.
Wanted him to win, but obviously a low chance when you play CK
-
Was that Luman from Dexter?
-
Hopefully Berra's H-list celeb friends doesn't become an ongoing trend.

its a good thing erika christenseen is tagged....in case i went to the berrics and searched her name

She said Rob Welch.

Am I the only person who thought that Mike Mo's switch 360 flip in the DC commercial was perfect?
Also, am I the only person who actually stops watching before Reda starts talking?

im pretty sure everyone agrees with both points

Really? Than why does everyone constantly bitch about Reda's interviews if they don't watch them?

OH SHIT!! I just figured it out! she's the bitch from Swimfan! anyone remember that movie? I was in like 6th grade when that came out I have no idea how I connected those dots.

No way! I watched that movie late one night when I wasn't able to go back to sleep. Only continued watching it because of the pool scene/ had to finish what I started.
-
Trent McCunt vs PJ should be good
-
malto looked like he worked for every trick
McClung was just like 'fuck...whatevs'
And Malto's fs 360 was the ugliest thing west of the Mississippi
-
Loving Tent's style except regular 360 flip. I can't stand the yo shit.
-
Saw Matty Hunt in there.
-
mcclung / malto game was fun to watch.
the celebrity cameo was pretty weird though. She looked uncomfortable when Berra tried to make her act and shit haha

damn malto always has the longst games, but hes always had bad luck of facing crazy good opponent while their having a perfect day. anyway, after seeing the mcclung match and then this match its safe to say trent is one of the strongest people on erics team and tho im not really convinced hes gonna beat pj, he could easily give him a run for his money and maybe even shut him out if pjs havin a bad day. cory kennedy vs nyjah is gona be hilarious. you could tell ronnie was pissed when they said he was reffin cuz he could have easily taken a berrics championship himself.

ps im a new member here i been reading for a long time, and just decided to register. im 24, been skating since i was ab 14 and live in wilmington nc/ aka east bound and down film location/chet childress home/ finucan form one in a million is from here too ive known him for awhile. not good enuf to ever get sponsored but i do have some intermediate tricks. i cant tre flip good at all, maybe in a game of skate. but i got frontside flips on lock, reg front 360s (just learned), reg front bigspin and back bigspin, switch flip switch front shove, can switch back 180 up a 3 stair but still cant tre flip good at all. its frustrating seeing people who barely skate do them, i think my posture just goes against any natural ability to do them
Dude, you're regular.

Go Ronnie!!!!

Go Ronnie!!!!

first time I watched a "pre-game interview", holy fuck that shit was painful...
-
reda must have stayed up working on that old dog/new tricks thing all night. he was working it in to every sentence.
-
I don't think Nick understands the "save hard shit for later" strategy. I really expected him to win.

starting of with a yo fs shove-it can never be a good thing.

Fuck yes! Made my day.

Ronnie!!!!!!

So uhh Plan B didnt work out?
-
That game sucked. Instead of Luan's waist high tricks, we get Ronnie Creager doing switch varials that bounce on the ground. Damn you Brazil!
-
so stoked ronnie won
-
Glad Creager got through.
I was thinking before the game started, how come Koston is sitting so pretty? In my eyes Creager is as big a legend as Koston. It's fucked up how the industry drives things... Either way. Rip it up for the old guys Creager.
-

he's only been skating about a month since an ankle injury, he makes every trick looks awesome in my book. even little varial flips

I don't think you understand how good Ronnie Creager is. He wasn't going to get him on a basic trick.
You really expected Ronnie Creager to lose to some flow kid? That's just silly.
-
really thought he was gonna get creager (who is a national treasure at this point) with the nollie front foot flip, huh
#whathappenedoutthere
-
Stoked Ronnie took it, especially after the surgery. I remembered it half way through the game, "Why is Ronnie landing so sketchy? This isn't the Creager I know and love, oh wait, right, surgery." Considering he nailed it after being out so long makes it even sweeter. Hoping he's in top form for the Mike Mo game, he's gonna need to be on top of that shit.
-
i'd really like to see him win the whole thing. he can do just about every trick there is
-
morgan will win batb without getting a letter.. called it!
-
Morgan Smith is unreal. Seems like he can do just about any trick there is. He does them with fucking style to! damn

moose is sick as hell but honestly
WHAT HAPPENED OUT THERE

That was a good game. Moose would of won against most of the others.

Moose played well. Didnt give it away easy. But damm, Morgan is boss and in all seriousness

Damn, that was one of the best games yet.

You can kinda tell from the footage but moose was creeping and morgan was 2 push minimum on most tricks, I'd be going slow to but it was weird in real life. Morgan is a beast and will probably win this shit again!
Wait for the semi finals with a possible Creager vs Smith game, it's like Terminator vs T2.
Good weekend for the Blind homies
-
I've been avoiding this thread forever, but Cliff.. pelase tell me there's a pro board with Morgan's name on it in the very near future? He just skated with some commanding fucking pathos.
-
Moose was doing yo nollie heels. Therefore, #WhatHappenedOutThere was how it should've gone. Go Morgan!
-
You can kinda tell from the footage but moose was creeping
Kinda?

Morgan is too good. I rooting for him to win. That being said, I love how all the new dudes they picked to be in BATB have been eliminated first round. The semi-finals are always the exact same: Mo, O Neill, Cole, P Rod, whoever else. That's why I love to see Morgan win this shit because he doesn't have the stature as those dudes yet but he brings the fiercest competition. Go Morgan!
-
morgan was skating so fast in person. it was really rad to watch. good game to both morgan and moose!
-
dude morgan smith just doesn't fuck up does he? jeeez.
-
Yeah! Good game. As already stated: Morgan= Boss, Moose= surprisingly good.
-
I know its still the first round, but JESUS CHRIST. Morgan Smith already looks like he's gonna repeat!

Moose did pretty good. If he was playing against anyone but Morgan he probably would've had a good chance at winning.
Morgan Smith is a machine. Dude is too consistent. I have a feeling that Morgan is going to win again this year at the rate hes going.

whoever said ishod doesnt have style is a fuckin kook. go watch his off the map part for the berrics. the kid's like a modern day ray barbee.
god steve berra is annoying. heres my loyal worker whos having his last day, i wont let him read the rules, ill just introduce him and then stand awkwardly in front of him while i read them.
also ishod wearing shorts was pretty baller, im pretty sure hes one of the only people whove played a berrics game in shorts. i dunno ab yall but its so much harder to commit to flip tricks for me with shorts on.
also i love how steve makes it a point in the beginning to pronounce ishods name correctly"eh-shod" and at the end hes like the winner is ISHO..."ehshod!" steve should really stay away from improv in front of the camera because he is way more awkward than most people. (his text yoself with albert nyberg was hands down the most uncomfortable clip hes ever produced)

Who gives a shit if he's a good dude. He has to have on the worst styles off all time. He's unbearable. Terrible trick selection ugly clothes and hair to top it off.
I realized a few years ago that he could do literally anything on a skateboard but it looked horrid but since RTS came out I think it's gotten alot better. His hair does remind me of a shitty elementary school kid but I'm in it for his skating, not his hair.
I'm kind of glad he lost though because I want PJ to take the whole thing. He deserves it. He's been in the final four almost every time.

asta is a champ, but p-rod has been winning games of skate since the competitive inception of the game. he beat koston the on the first go at it. the only people that could beat him are shane o'neill, cole, corey kennedy, or pj, in my opinion.

Can anyone from Atlanta weigh in on this? Are those dudes really part of the skate scene there? When I first read that Vice article I thought it was just Nieratko doing a wacky bit, now they show up reffing at the berrics??? Sleeping in the same bed, DPing chicks, same tats on opposite arms! Shit's crazy.

whats wrong with male on male incest? no offspring to worry about, they obviously have good heads on their shoulders
it was cool how peerod did the same hard tricks as asta but regular instead of switch to beat him at the end.

brothers can't sleep in the same bed? Yeah, it's weird alright (for their age), but sleeping in the same bed is not as weird as trying to marry the same fucking chick at the same time
Nevertheless, these two are so interesting that I can't bring myself to hate them. Not to mention they actually seemed like good people just with a really weird lifestyle (although I honestly can't tell through an interview).

I love how good was Cole's hardflip and how shitty was Shane's.
i love how good every other trick shane did was and how shitty all of coles were. Cole has the worst style out of batb... he does shit as slow/gross as possible to land it

dat game had me right on the edge of my toilet seat.
atl twins may be fuked up crazy, but anyone who doesn't think they dressn dope needs aint keepin it real!
-
That game was tight. I don't like Asta at all but I wanted him to win. *random thought* anyone else wish Cory Kennedy would go back to the how he played in BATB2?
It's early days yet, CK1 is a bawws
-
Man, is there anything P-Rod can't land? Dudes got everything. Thought Asta had it, but P-Rod made a straight come back. Goes to show you that if you have him at T, do not mess up or it's done.

I've seriously felt the same way from the very first time I heard him speak.
It's like the dude just doesn't get stuff...and I don't even think it's cultural differences. He can't take sarcasm or play along, and he always seems defensive.
He'd be a real buzzkill to be around.

those twins creep me the fuck out.
Its a sad day when the berrics games of skate are actually more entertaining that SLAP's own OIAM

I can't believe I'm asking about this stupid shit, but how old are those twins, and how'd they get from slumin to where they are now?
Do they have jobs? The same job? They share a salary?

I also have questions about this. Where do they make their money? I'm sure they make money now through their affiliation to Yelawolf and Slumerican, but what were they doing before that? They say they were engaged to a Playboy bunny in 2005.... what were they doing then?

These fucked up inbred twins are far more interesting than anything else in this thread. What in the fuck. I have a twin and I can't even imagine being like those dudes, I'd fucking kill him.
Sidenote: Asta did way better than I'd thought, that game was actually pretty fucking sick.
-
If they jerked each other off would it be gay? I mean they say they're the same person.
loops holes are wacky...

Those twins are regular. plain and simple.
I'm not hating on their alternative lifestyles because I'm not accepting of other people's differences and such. I'm hating because they're regular and I hope to god they never have kids.

apparently they are paralegals and share the same position/salary. i hear they do literally everything together. i was told that if they are skating and one of them stops to get a drink then the other goes with. if one of them smokes a cigarette the other one does. if somebody has to take a piss, so does his brother. weird shit!

I wouldn't be surprised if Berra coaxed Cory to throw the game in Nyjah's favor, in an attempt to get as many DC riders into the finals as he can. You could even hear Berra say "thanks Cory" after their game. Thanks for what? Throwing the game perhaps? Hmmmmmmmm.

seriously, reda had the most canned questions and zero depth: "what happened out there?"
at least steezus can be personable without going for personal insults.
that game was fucked. pj... running out of tricks to do?
-
One of the best battles ever. It makes me realize how unbelievably bad I suck at flat ground now lol.
-
Watched it twice. had to rewind a bit each time.
Even though trent didn't get a letter on PJ, I swear he came the closest to beating him yet. I even came closer to beating him mentally at his own strat.
Alot of these games get to who can land 5 insane tricks first, this one was who has the most endurance and broad skill set. It was crazy to see Trent put PJ on defense like that, and vice versa.
Holy shit, I'm watching it again.
-
Damn PJ is good, and so is Trent.
-
best game sofar!
-
My favorite match so far. Even though I pretty much knew PJ was going to win near the end when Trent had T and PJ still had no letters at all, there were still a bunch of surprises that came out of that game that made it an entertaining match, like the unexpected fakie 540 flip land and the nollie 540 bigflip land. Trent is better at flat than I thought.
-
it's nice to see trent push PJ out of his comfort zone a little so we get to see some of PJ's his non-stock tricks.
also his nollie late flips are looking proper! watch out p-rod
-
trent landing the nollie 540 bigflip made me make the loudest noise ive ever made while looking at a cpomputer screen. that might have been the best game to ever come outta these things, despite it being a shutout. wow.
-
That was crazy-like
The letters are not a clear indicator of how epic that game was.
-

Didn't P-rod beat PJin BATB2 with a nollie late flip? I was thinking that when Trent went for it. You could even see this look in PJs eyes like "naw,I got that man. I ain't missing one of those ever again."
Stoked. I hope he gets his revenge on P-Rod. Where ever it goes from here is going to interesting on Koston's side. If he gets P-Rod he could go against Morgan or Torie and either one of those battles will be fucked. To be honest though, I'm pulling for Morgan taking Torie.
-
Best game thus far! Giving credit where it is due and that's to Trent.
-
best game so far.

if trent wouldnt have been against pj he would have beat 95% of the rest of the field with that game.

Holy fuck. PJ on a good day is unbeatable. Nobody could beat him like that, he was totally on point. How on Earth did that kid, or any other skateboarder in the contest have a chance? He did like 5 million different tricks, from traditional to crazy, and PJ had no problem with any of them. Trent was skating well, but if you only miss one out of 20 tricks and your opponent misses zero out of 20, eventually you are going down.

Also, the camera doesn't even pan over to where the people are sitting (the middle of the ledge), so of course there won't be anyone in the shot.

Beating a dead horse, but that was the best game of skate I've ever seen.
Way into all the variations of basics. I'd much rather watch 30 back to back tricks without one person tripping up than someone start with a nollie720laserlaterflip and the other dude miss it. Save that shit for the checkmate.
-
you do realize the point of the game is to make the other guy miss it right? only here would someone prefer seeing the same basic tricks as usual instead of something different

it's like a movie, man.
Good cinema:beginning, middle, and end.
We establish who the main characters are (PJ and Trent), the the tension is built with the basic tricks, then the climax comes and PJ gets the gold. Followed by the denouement with the post-game interviews.

I like watching good skateboarding. Consistency like that is sick. Everyones got some weird obscure tricks no one else can do. That shit is cool, too, but like I said, save it for the end.

I liked that that black dude did the interviews more than reda. I mean the interviews are unnecessary, but Reda bugs. That was an amazing game im hoping pj takes it finally.

Am I the only one that noticed how good all of Trent's tricks looked? His flip tricks were more dipped than a Good Humor ice cream sundae cone.

Next coouple of brackets should be pretty good. PJ vs P-rod, Ishod vs Morgan and I think Shane should be able to beat Carlin and Mo should be able to beat Nyjah. By the end of it, I think it is going to be the same people in the finals as usual. I hope in BATB 6, they only allow new riders and drop all the people that they have every year. Hell, even an all AM BATB would be dope.

Slightly off topic but, I remember back at the start of the year, on the CA Skateparks site, they mentioned in a blogpost about redoing the berrics. I'm kind of hoping that some of this is prefilmed, and at the end they present a new park design.

tory's got crazy pop, but if you think morgan was only popping his "a few inches off the ground" you're delusional.

Torey's style is pretty much ugly. It's not a stretch to say that.
-
did his first kickflip was insane so high and controlled i wish i had em like that. nothing ab that trick was ugly
-
torey's a little wild, but how can you not like the dude. he's funny as fuck.
the games are getting good.
-
Pudwill is a beast.
People hating on his style are tripping.
-
I was rooting for Torey cause he's so exciting to watch
However, Morgan Smith is still fighting his way into a pro career so, good for him
-
the glove was pretty cool.
-
Moooorrrrgggaaannn! Damn that was good!
-
fuck steve berra
-
Moooorrrrgggaaannn! Damn that was good!
hes going to win again
-
How is it even possible that morgan isn't pro??? such a humble dude who totally rips.
-
Morgan must have had a off day . He actually missed tricks , wtf ...
Pudwill has POP ! fucking hell!

agree'd - hopefully now jake brown is gone, they'll turn him pro......definately deserves it.

I'm surprised Morgan missed the BS flip.

It's subjective, man. For a lot of people, massive pop isn't the only deciding factor for good "style". Personally, I'm not super into Torey's skating, but I can certainly see why many people are. I can also see why many people aren't. I'm sure you've been on the internet for more than a day so surely you must realize your personal opinion isn't always the same as everyone else.

I am certain that Morgan will be pro when he throws down the win
-
I am certain that Morgan will be pro when he throws down the win
win or not, he should be pro already. Romar too
-
morgan definitely... but i think romar needs to put out another part or something first. actually they both should because i wanna see more real footage from both of them, and its not like morgan smith cant film a real part easily

That was such a good game, this year's batb is actually pretty sick

I'm surprised Morgan missed the BS flip a trick.

If Koston's guy wins, does Berra fuck off?

fat ass jake duncombe is pro. morgan smith is not pro. there is no justice in the world.

this is fucking perfect for PJ! If he can beat P.Rod he redeems himself for BATB3, If he can beat Morgan he redeems himself for BATB4, and if he beats Mo (because we all know he's gonna beat O'Neil) then he kind of redeems himself for the O.G BATB. The journey to be the champion is almost done...

From what I remember, basically the game got setup to be rigged against Alex from the get-go (right after filming a 3-day Bangin! clip) and on the day he was flying out. Also, Mizurov said that while he took a shower after the game, they had Morgan re-film his last trick to make it look like he stomped it.

Bummed. I really wanted Jimmy to win.
I don't know why but I got the feeling that Shane wasn't even trying. The nollie back heel attempt and the hardflip he bailed looked like he totally messed up on purpose.

Dear god , so much shit goes on there at the berrics . Re filming tricks , bribing ppl to not do skate vids , first try fridays my ass , fake shit , ppl getting banned
Why do people put up with steve ? and while koston comes off abit weird sometimes , why is he on that band wagon ?
-
I hate Shane O'nell so fucking much right now, but I always knew Jimmy didn't have much of a chance.
-
i think it sucks that they make this thing so big and they cant even mop the floor before the game it just seems to me that people look extra careful when landing every trick or they will slide out
-
I think Shane O'neill is faking this flailing all over the board and sketchy landing business. We all know he's a robot.
-
Did Shane O'neil gain weight? He looks different every time I see him now.

the ref still doesn't know the difference between a 360 shuv it and a impossible

To be honest I was expecting Mike Mo to just take him out super quick, wasn't expecting the game to be that close. Overall it was a real good game. It really could've gone either way.

Despite the fact that I wanted Mo to win so he could take out O'Neill, that last call was bullshit.

Damn, what a good game. Had me on the edge of my seat towards the end. Stoked that Ishod won. I like Morgan just as much as the next guy, but I was rooting for Ishod for the sake of seeing someone different in the finals this time. How many times have we all seen Mike Mo, Shane or PJ in the finals? And Morgan was in the finals last year, so it's good to have one new person in the finals this time. That and plus I almost always cheer for the underdog.
I knew Ishod was good at flat, but not THAT good. To beat Morgan at all is one hell of a feat. If he's on his game for the finals he might just be giving PJ a run for his cash.

holy shit, that was one of my favourite games ever. ishod!! ;D

Did this kid really do a sw fs bigger spin? I can't really tell

Ishod was fucking ON POINT. I've been hoping from the start he'd win and now it's looking like he has a good shot if he's consistent like he was against Morgan Smith.
-
morgan is so good on defense but he sucks at setting tricks.......
hearing defence referenced in skating makes me think of sports centre.
-
Is it just me or are there more trolls on slap than usual?
-
i made a lil squeech yelp when morgan did that switch laser flip second try, so awesome. he looked tired at the end but that was one of the best games

I can't be the only one who saw this.
Lol what kind of fag is sitting there making excited animal noises while watching berrics videos?
Damn!
-
morgan really made solid zone reads on defense, but couldnt put together solid offesnive posessions, in turn ishod took advantage of his offensive miscues and took the game.
hilights @6
both dudes are great skaters, but morgan really deserves to be professional.

Racist Slash making Ishod do the same trick twice.

First games up. Mike Mo is crazy. I'm not too sure about that 360 shuvit looking thing that he said was a front foot impossible but inside...I guess that might make sense but it looked like a 3 shuv to me?
-
mike mo looked just super competitive and jockish - kinda unusual for him. that was pretty crazy game, screw the basic, probably would've made p-rods head explode
-
Holy shit, Mo went for the throat on that one.

yeah wtf was that trick, looked like a yo 3 shove and he calls it a trick nobody has ever done before
-
Good game. Got pretty close there too, it could've been anyone's game. Mike Mo must really want to win this year because he just went straight for the circus tricks. Usually he'll run through all of the basics first before pulling out the weird stuff. Here's to hoping for a PJ Vs Mike Mo finals.
And also, like the posters above me are saying, what the hell was up with that weird three shuv front foot trick? That sure as hell was not a "front foot impossible" like he was saying. Looked like a strange yo-three shuv to me if anything. That shit confused the hell out of me.
-
Also, did Mo even do the same trick as Shane on that switch varial whatever the fuck it was? The circus tricks are too weird.
-
what mike mo is saying instead of doing a front foot impossible where u wrap it around the top right since hes regular he wraps it around the top left.......i think
-

Is anyone else having a bit of trouble even seeing the tricks? I don't know if it's because of the video player or what, but when the board spins fast, it just looks likes it chugs or blurs.
-
PJ won the whole shit.
-
What was that trick that Mo did with the 3 shuv?
He did pull of some crazy tricks and won it but I'm not sure haha. Can't wait for Pj to take it though.
-
;D def not a front foot impossible
PJ won the whole shit.
spoilers?
wish its ture,cause i just want watch a game between pj and mike mo since batb1,better be a long game,no matter who wins.
-
PJ won the whole shit.
-
So what happens when berras or koston's team win? Is there some bet going on?
-
The good old' if they can't do it regs they won't do it fakie.
-
so if koston wins berra has to start skateboarding again?
-
Finals are going to be a draw. Eric and Berra are going to have a dispute and settle it by playing skate themselves. Koston's going to get him to S-K-A-T easily but will mess up on the last trick. Berra will focus all his power to summon Xenu and unleash some of the craziest trick ever imaginable. Berra will then make a comeback part....
-
umm hows nobody commented on this being the first game or time for that matter ive seen shane wearing shoes that arent janoskis? are those even nikes? they look like the new dc's being advertised...anyone know what kind they are?

Holy shit, Mo went for the throat on that one.
In all fairness, it was only after shane was already doing the biggerspin flips and what have you.

I think those tricks were perfectly acceptable after Shane tried the switch bigspin double flip.

This was very entertaining.
BATB veterans should skip the basics part and go straight to circus tricks.
-
damn i wanted shane to win. pj ladd would destroy mike mo in the finals if pj wins
-
the trick mo did was a regular impossible rotation but "wrapping/touching" the front foot instead. It wraps inward, not outward. It may not even be a full wrap, but thats how shane does 'em too, so fuck it.

Not a fan of shane, but he deserved it.

Yeah, what the fuck. The fact that he would claim it as any kind of impossible is bullshit. Also, I hate how three shuvs and impossibles have become interchangeable in these games. Anyway, looking forward to seeing PJ play even though we know the outcome.
-
Yeah Mikemos awkward 360 shove was really questionable.
-
Ok, after watching the Mo trick that is in question, it looks to me like this: he started the impossible with his back foot, then passed it to his front foot to finish the rotation?

-
I think would be more stoked if Ishod won, but I'm stoked that there isn't any energy drink sponsored riders in the finals. Mo isn't sponsored by some energy drink shit right??
-
PJ vs Mo should be an epic game.
Mo might just take it if he goes first and goes straight for the throat again with the circus tricks, but only if he is on his game and doesn't miss any of them, because if he misses it'll probably be a while before PJ misses a trick and he gets to set again. Still though, Mo's got some crazy technical tricks. I've yet to see someone who could land his late pressure flip or that impossible late flip trick that he does.
-
disappointing Shane couldn't hang on for the win, I think he will create some 'circus' maneuvers of his own now.
-
Some tricks were "sloppy" for PJ standards. But glad he won
-
What a fucking game but some odd calls here and there.
-

my friend has them for a while now,you use your front foot but spin it the way of a normal impossible.

So Mike Mos trick is kinda like a 360 casper flip?

Ishod and PJ definitely looked tired as fuck.

Finally, Mike Mo is doing it. Every game I would watch I could tell he was holding back, but not so much with this one.

He never displayed the confidence and therefore ability to let go and pull off his insane tricks with ease, which is what he did in that game. To put it simply I do not really think you know what you are talking about and I think of you as a peasant. You want to argue about what holding back means, because I don't.

shooting sequences of roshambo.. is that guy serious?

I'd hoped Ishod would take it but he seemed pretty under the weather in the pre-game interview. Oh well, pulling for PJ now.
-
In the Mike Mo vs. Shane game all Mo did was try his weird ass tricks. Mo couldn't really land shit the entire game. Those tricks he got Shane on were after about 15 minutes of trying them and giving the turn over to Shane then waiting for Shane to mess up. He was getting pretty bummed because every time he went for a trick he fucked up. Everyone thought he was going to lose to Shane.
Also the PJ vs. Ishod game..... When Ishod did the switch FS Biggerspin PJ kept doing doing fs 360 shuvs and then turning afterwards, this happened about 4 times and then Austin I believe was the ref? I can't remember...But whoever it was said it counted, so Ishod tried a trick and messed up and then PJ did a nollie hardflip. Then Berra and Koston paused the game and made them rewind back to the switch fs biggerspin and had PJ choose if he wanted to try it one more time or just take a letter. He said he would just take the letter and didn't care but Koston talked him into just trying it and then that's when he bailed it. Then they said that it was Ishods turn again and that PJ doing the nollie hardflip didn't count. Then Ishod did like 2 tricks and bailed on a bs360 kickflip and then PJ won it.
Side note: Ishod was high as fuck the whole time, Berra was bummed. haha.

Congrats PJ!!! Always plays straight and starts from the basics. What is needed now is a street part from PJ, filmed in Boston, Philly, NYC and consisting only of lines.

Yeah, its kinda sad that skating actually invites rappers into it.

Stoked PJ won.
Yeah the call on the hardflip was definitely dubious.
If Steve Berra's team has lost does that mean he'll finally disappear???
A man can always wish...
The look of relief on Reda's face when he knew he didn't have to do anymore interviews. Ha!
Oh yeah and the whistle in the ear thing is not funny at all. Sometimes you feel Berra has scripted everything about the Berrics and then PJ came along and shit on it.

BERRA LOSING ;D

While its not 100% serius . Anyone ells see a problem with a none skater , who is working for DC , and the contest is in his company / skatepark , while the contest is around his team vs another team , and having another rider who rides in the same company in the finals
a little weird ?
Anyways PJ rocks . Thought Mike Mo was gonna win since PJ was doing "normal " tricks while Mo was doing " unusual " but PJ has some fucking skills and some tricks up his sleeve !
what the fuck was the game ( I think that was him , not sure ) doing there ? and why was he on the microphone ? who wants to hear somebody who has no clue who ppl are or what tricks say " yeah " after everytrick ?
-
I'm pretty glad i didn't grow up skating in this era. The early 2000's weren't perfect, but it sure beats the fuck out of games of skate being announced by a rapper that doesn't even skate. They might as well had weezy do it. It would have been funnier for sure.
-
Y'know, with how awful some of the games leading up to this were, the semifinals and finals games kicked ass.

I thought it was pretty great/ hilarious how PJ showed more emotion towards the MJ SOTY award than actually winning the finals trophy.

damn what a good game, GIVE PJ A SHOE SPONSOR

What the fuck is happening to the industry??!??
Rappers paying no dues and getting free passes to whatever they please, seriously embarrassing.�
PJ, MO, PJ, MO, whoa, ohhh... and then finally I think somebody told him what was what. Also, I am assuming that guy is the rapper you speak of, I skipped to the second trick or so.
-
YES
fucking finally.
PJ is the best.
-
I couldn't understand a word that guy was saying.

3rd place game was way more entertaining than the finals game, but nonetheless I'm glad PJ finally won after he came so close every year.
Now I enjoy the games music but I couldn't understand a word he was saying during the rules, the "fuck the rules I made a paper plane" had me smiling but his yelling after the first couple of tricks where unbearable, so glad he didn't continue.

Yeah, how does Berra's brain not notice the shit like this that is so obvious to every other skater?
It made literally no sense for him to be on the mic, especially for the most important game.
I guess he's just that desperate for any celebrity connection whatsoever?

the only good thing besides mild entertainment from that whole thing was that pj won it, and gave negative zero fucks doing so. the team berra vs. koston idea was gay in the first place, and seemed like a big nike vs. dc fuckfest. definitely glad pj came through and shit all over it.

Oh my gawd! You mean to tell me that he's done all of this just to cover up a butterfly tattoo?!!

The Game was either born with a sllight case of "the downs," or he just smoked himself regular. Either way, don't give this guy a mic at a skateboarding event

PJ!!!! that would have been so fucking lame if mike mo won. he started both of his battles with a late varial flip, what kinda shit is that? I know it's just a game, but for real, pretty weak. in the mo vs shane oneill one, he does a 360 shove it and calls it a "one foot impossible but inside".
pj was just bangin out standard tricks perfectly, whenever mo got a turn he'd do some circus shit like he knew he was on the ropes and was trying to hang on. in summation:

Pj killed it. And I was really surprised when that black dude was saying shit after every trick that would be distracting as fuck.
You don't know THE GAME?

Sometimes, being almost 40 does have some advantages. This is one of them. The only Game I think of.

PJ winning brought tears to my eyes :'( I'm just so happy.

I feel like I was more excited about PJ beating Mike Mo than PJ was about him beating Mike Mo.

What's up with Shane looking big all of the sudden? Obviously he isn't, but in all the recent footage/pictures of him he looks chunky. Guessing it's the clothes:

Nugget probably has some sweating fetish or what because normally one would wear multiple layers of clothing while skating in a warehouse.

If the Berrics is going to get a celebrity announcer, they just need to get Michael Rapaport again.

Since they need to have a theme nowadays, whats the theme for next batb?
East vs West?
Shirts vs Skins?
Lactose inolerance vs bee allergi?
Personally I would prefer a drunk vs sober themed Batb.

Up and comers vs Veterans?
Like legitimate veterans that have been in the scene for a good amount of time.
-
any trick goes. no complys, bonelesses, handplants, late flip pressure mcdizzle flips. whatever.
failing that up and comers vs veterans does sound pretty good. up and comers do the cool flip tricks the kids are doing now days and veterans do the sketchy whatevers of the early 90's.

Can't wait to see some pressure flip late flips.

basically THIS! throw some wildcards in there too (valley, gou, daewon, todd falcon, mullen, ritchie jackson et al.) so i don't have to watch tech ledge guy vs. tech ledge guy :-\
