"Dat was lyke da worse game I ever played."

I thought he was saying Koston was dirty. Did way better than I would have been able to do. I would have to have a drink in me or something. I couldn't deal with that pressure.
I went skating today and my anxiety was in full swing, so much so that I couldn't land a flatground kickflip. Had a beer and felt so much better. Temporary solutions are still solutions.

I want to see an unknown take it all. In that game with one of the McClung clones I get why he went dirty with the double flips- he was at SKAT, and his opponent had no letters. At that point, all rules are out the window, and you do what you need to to come back.

I don't need to see PJ win again. He proved any point anybody would want him to make by winning twice in a row, now we need him to lose just to be sure its not actually just a contest for second. Love PJ, but I like it when its interesting more.

Cole's a big time guy. He doesn't need to win BATB. Probably figured a win for Chann would be far more meaningful for the kid's skate career.

editing did seem a bit off on some of the tricks, and how the filmer knew to pan to the friends almost before Cole missed that last trick could be a bit suspect, but I think the genuine reaction of the friends shows it was real.  Also thought it was odd how they cut it after announcing Chann the winner, like, I kept expecting Cole and Chann to shake hands or whatever but that never happened.

That's pretty suspect.  The way these games seem to be turning more into a theatrical event than about the skating makes the staged possibility seem pretty realistic as well.

They have multiple camera angles, some just filming the reactions, and they try to edit it as fast as possible to give room for Berra facetime talk, which makes it look a bit weird at some points. But there was like 100 people watching it live, so if it didn't actually go like it was put out online, it would come out pretty fast.

PJ is my favorite skater of all time, but you never know... some of these kids have some wild tricks... catch one on a good day and it's anyone's game. That makes it sick though. So far every Joe has put up a hell of a fight with the exception of Chhandy, who might have just succumbed to the pressure, which it understandable.

As far as the Cole throwing it theory, not sure about the editing at the end, but did notice at the beginning like the kid missed the fs half cab heel and then Cole does the Rick flip. Seemed to be trying to take him out as if he were another pro.

That was some serious feel good shit.  Made me smile like I was watching Hoosiers or some shit.
For everyone who thinks these are staged, don't you think someone there for one of the games would've gotten bitter about something and sold them out by now?  pretty hard to keep big secrets these days.
I think part of the weird feel people get from the edits comes from the fact that they obviously cut out some of the bailed offensive tricks.  But seriously, to assume something deceptive is going on is hilariously paranoid and giving these guys too much credit.

i'm thinking it's (from most likely to least likely, except the first part of "c"):

a. chris cole had a bad day
b. chris cole has other shit to do and doesn't want to keep coming back to the berrics
c. steve berra fucking sucks and wanted some drama
d. chris cole didn't want to embarrass the dude in front of his parents. now that i re-read this option it seems kinda stupid.

there could be more, but every possibility includes option "c". because steve berra sucks and hasn't put out footage since whenever mindfield came out. i don't think any pro is trying to milk it as hard as him and i hate his stupid fucking face. no footage at your own skatepark, what are you doing all day? plotting something?

man, berra is most annoying skateboarder i can think of

Mind you this photo was already at like over 500 comments. Then berra replied insanely defensively to me about how it was idiotic what I said and he went on to personally attack me for even thinking something bad about the berrics (classic scientologist move).

Classic lack of class and experience, every "joe" comes out doing all the crazy off the wall double or triple flip this or that. All excited like a kid w his first boner. They get a letter or 4 on the pro, miss then the pro comes back cool calm and collected plays w se class warming up going through the basics and beats the Joe in the end.
 Think about the years in the past probably 90% of the games start w a kick flip when pro's play. If the joe starts the game they almost never do a kick flip out the gates... Predictable and dumb.

That Spencer Brown dude was going hard there for a while! Shame he lost.

I actually got so angry when he lost. A "how do you do all these crazy tricks but lose on a front heel?!" angry.

Classic lack of class and experience, every "joe" comes out doing all the crazy off the wall double or triple flip this or that. All excited like a kid w his first boner. They get a letter or 4 on the pro, miss then the pro comes back cool calm and collected plays w se class warming up going through the basics and beats the Joe in the end.
 Think about the years in the past probably 90% of the games start w a kick flip when pro's play. If the joe starts the game they almost never do a kick flip out the gates... Predictable and dumb.

its a game of skate. let them play how they want 2. you strung out fuck. sound like those stupid fucking analysts who is always there for the bad decisions

as lame as this sounds, w/ berra's scientology connections they should get celebrities who halfass skate to battle each other. beiber can do a few things, there's some white rapper who can switch 3 flip [wolf something or other?] that rapper tyler can skate i think. fuck, throw jason lee in there as a curveball. throw those fucking goofy wigger twins who tag team strippers in there. guest referee danny bonaduce. fuck it.

Does anyone know why Reda isn't doing the pre and post game interviews anymore, I'm pretty sure i saw him sitting in the background for one of the matches. Is it because they decided it would be too cruel to have Reda fuck with them and make the joes more nervous. I liked his interviews way more cuz it played into the sort of its just a game and joking around compared to the serious interviews they are trying to put in with this once in a lifetime angle they are playing with the joes.

Semi agree, but if they are gonna have interviews i'd rather reda, then this half ass once in a lifetime crap, with every pro saying i didn't know what to do cause i don't know their strengths and weaknesses and every joe saying i thought i wouldn't get nervous but when your playing in front of legends or playing a legend it just kicks in.

I know it's been said already, but I think it's cool the Pro's keep it calm and show the Joe's what's up with the basic tricks that I can't do. Don't know much about Albert Nyberg but I believe he's known for a weird flip tricks so I'm glad his Sesame Street looking ass lost.

did we watch the same game? ya, that joe had some cool tricks (nollie inward heel revert, late flip shit). personally not a fan of the lateflip stuff, respect to the joe nonetheless. but pretty much all the tricks the joe missed, he didn't have at all. that was by FAR the worst switch fs heel I've ever seen. just awful. i know Prod isn't too popular around here but goddamn at least his shit is clean.

you can tell though, the tricks that the joe had were plenty proper. 360 double flip was dope. i guess it just pisses me off to see someone nail the circus tricks and fuck up the 'basics'. koston posted a video of this joe doing a clean-ass 360 triple flip. how can a guy nail those tricks and have such a shitty nollie flip/sw fs flip/sw fs heel? joe got his letters on a sw 360 flip, fs flip, sw bs flip, fs heel and a nollie hardflip. sw 360 and nollie hardflip, fine, those are toughies. but how is it that one can triple tre flip and not frontside flip?

that being said, these joes (aside from a couple) have been putting up a decent fight. these first few BATB7 games are much better than the first couple BATB6 rounds

mike mo looking real good that game, i liked that nollie 360 kickflip as well as the impossible/bs flip. i feel like mike mo hasn't gotten a bunch of coverage since pretty sweet (and even though his part was great, I still found it a little disappointing compared to his fully flared part/the rest of pretty sweet) so it's good to see him kicking ass on board

liked the post-game interview too. mike mo downplayed the skunking without coming off as an asshole. we've seen so many games already where a 4-letter lead disappears as quickly as it came. joe did a good job describing the nerves/skating shittily without coming off as a whiner.

joe skated well but i think this is the sort of battle we saw from the outset. the "pro" (consistent/has all the "standard" tricks) vs the "joe" (not as consistent/has a ton of "circus" tricks). if the joe has the consistency to match a pro and get to set some of their own tricks, they'll do some damage (see that tall goon who beat the mcclung cunt and chris chann vs chris cole). but it really comes down to one trick in a bunch of these games (morgan, prod, luan etc)... been some exciting games so far. hope some of these joes stick around but the pros have been doing a good job holdin it down IMO. fuck this is like fuckin ESPN sportscenter, dyrdek would be proud

I rarely watch the "weigh ins" but I did for this match(don't ask me why). Once I heard Nyjah's training comment I was over it.Skateboarders don't train.We skate.If you wanna go train,go play a sport.Toolbag.Poor galvin didn't get to set.Would have loved watching that robot get slaughtered.

Late pressure flip was an ode to Mike Mo. Don't think he was being a dick just having fun.

thought that was a pretty weak game. nyjah got him on some normal bullshit tricks then goes for the late hardflip. what, couldnt do a nollie backside flip? switch tre? or any number of other normal tricks? i mean, the kid was on T. just didnt see the point in finishing him off with a trick he knows the guy has never done. maybe if he at least had a couple of letters. pretty tacky.

They should have done one pro vs pro and one joe vs joe game, and then have the winner of each game square off right after. I think that one of the joe's could take it though, we haven't seen em all yet. It would be sick (in both senses) to see someone take out PJ.

Yeah man, no doubt the guy is amazing and I can't imagine what it'd be like to play a game of skate against any pro. It'd be nerve racking. That's why I was so psyched that Chris guy beat Chris Cole! Basically this BATB gets at me because I'll root for the underdog every time. Hopefully one wins.

I remember reading an interview with Moses Itkonen years ago where he talked about his nick-name. He and his friends had a skate crew named M.A.S.S. which stood for Mission Association of Serious Skaters", as they were from a town in B.C. called Mission. He had MASS written on his grip with a paint pen, all sloppy, and some older kid saw it and thought it said MOSES and the name stuck.

Correct. Joosef to be precise.

Still have a TWS somewhere with a Moses interview lying around somewhere, where he tells how he got the nickname. Forgot the story, and not feeling like digging through a couple hundred skate magazines to get the lowdown.

If he played any other person, he would have won. But Shane is just really good on flat. I am surprised he actually got letters on him though.

This fucking sucks. They should at least do a losers bracket for the Joe's. At least get them winning some how if it means if they play each other.

Damn, that was a pretty bad game. Usually any game with PJ in it is guaranteed to be a good one, but this was an exception. PJ probably didn't see all the weird double flip tricks and the FS bigflip coming. Can't blame the kid for going straight for the throat though and skipping all the usual stock tricks, he just wanted to win super badly.

wow now that was unexpected, its even more shocking since the kid has been skating only for 5 years judging from his meet the joe intro, meaning he picked up skateboarding after the whole batb already started haha, thats just hilarious.

some of kid's tricks were horrible to look at, but I give him props for the win, next one is morgan, if he beats him, that would be some insane luck.

Bummer... PJ probably has all those tricks that he missed.

Kinda surprised we haven't seen more shit like this go down, especially with all the close games. I think that was the premise of this whole 'Pros vs Joes' thing. Take a Joe with a deep bag of circus tricks (but with a good chance of having shitty style and poor consistency) and see how he fares against a legit pro. Seems like by and large, the pro wins this hypothetical game by rattling off the more difficult "basics" (e.g. switch backside heel or something) that a Joe won't have.

Joe's style was just awful. I'm sure it was because he was nervous but that was just horrible to watch (even moreso because he took out PJ).

We need Gary Rogers, T-Puds and Reda to do Sportscenter highlights of these games. Kick this shit into super-kook territory, especially if Berra isn't gonna grab his minute and a half of kooky camera time every game

That's pretty much how I was expecting these games to go down. A kid with no pop or power cuz he's grown up rallying tricks down those ankle high skatepark ''handrails'' and skating flat doing some stupid double flip and hardflip pivot variations that a pro would never film on the streets.

i'm directly quoting Busenitz from the post-game interview after his BATB4 game vs. Koston. Koston gets him to 'T' with a pressure flip. Busenitz says it after the game, hence the quotation marks around 'i didn't realize we were at pressure flips already.' I'm just saying someone implying that there are unspoken rules regarding what tricks you should do and when in these things is funny. PJ did it, Busenitz did it. Unfortunately I can't find that post-game interview. But yeah, they read the stupid rules every fucking time and it doesn't say anything about 'no ugly hardflip bigspins and shit' so the pros might as well expect such nonsense.

it seemed to me that pj was more psyched to lose than to win. it didn't seem to me that those were jabs. i mean, he's fuckin' pj ladd, he doesn't need to stoop to the level of pulling verbal cheap shots at some unknown"joe". plus, i think using "tactics" is all part of the game. it's not a sport, so it's not just "ok guys, kickflip is first, then heelflip, then tre, make sure you do everything in an officially established progressive order. go team!" strategy is part of the game. hence why i think most pros who are known to have crazy tricks like to go through pretty much all the basics first: wear your opponent down with tricks you know you aren't going to fuck up, then go for the kill for the last two letters or so.

sorry for the drunken rant, but that my 2 cents.

youre kind of missing the point. when you play skate, of course you want to win but if the only point of playing was to win you just do a bunch of dumb tricks that you know the other person cant do, e.g., that crappy kid. Playing skate has more to do with doing tricks consistently because it is fun and challenging not because there is some sort of team mentality. in fact the opposite is true, the other guy has the shitty attitude. playing to win instead of having fun.

thats your opinion. if you watch pretty much all of the games up to this point you will notice that 95% of the people playing never were cut throat but played normal games of skate. even people who ended up winning the whole thing rarely resorted to tactics like throwing out a bunch of shitty tricks all in a row. they always play by doing normal/difficult tricks. kids a kook.

its dumb if you think everyone who played in these games actually thought they were going to win and did everything they could to win. skateboarding doesnt work that way. if you go into something as a kook, it is really easy to get black balled in skateboarding. maybe you guys never play skate or something but there is an ediquette, even if there is money on the line. Thats why PJ made the comments he did. He might be nice, but he called that kid out in a nice way. I really dont think he gave a shit either way but in the moment he obviously thought the kid was lame. also, the kid is a kook. hardflip late full 180 revert, that shit is wack. Thats why pj was annoyed that he got a redo, because its not a real trick to begin with.

^its not just an opinion that the point of BATB is to win games of skate. This isn't some game of skate with your buddy during a warm up session. There's cash on the line here and people are in it to win it, welcome to the competitive side of skateboarding. Kids got awful style but to call him a kook for throwing out crazy tricks and successfully beating the reigning champion is just dumb.
[close]

its dumb if you think everyone who played in these games actually thought they were going to win and did everything they could to win. skateboarding doesnt work that way. if you go into something as a kook, it is really easy to get black balled in skateboarding. maybe you guys never play skate or something but there is an ediquette, even if there is money on the line. Thats why PJ made the comments he did. He might be nice, but he called that kid out in a nice way. I really dont think he gave a shit either way but in the moment he obviously thought the kid was lame. also, the kid is a kook. hardflip late full 180 revert, that shit is wack. Thats why pj was annoyed that he got a redo, because its not a real trick to begin with.

Nah. Other than the rules previously set for these games there are no rules. Fuck etiquette.

I still remember when CK1 just came out with fucked up tricks against Ramondetta and caught alot of hate. Personally I enjoyed it. I feel like Berra told Cory not to do that again and since then he doesn't give a fuck to the point of showing up drunk for his match vs Billy Marks in BATB 6.

Oh, i agree, i was talking about the etiquette part. Sometimes i'd rather see a battle of fucked up tricks but done clean. That kid who beat PJ i hope gets smoked by Morgan next round, his style was ugly as hell.

Joe beats the best flat ground pro in the game, Pj Ladd, and people are complaining.

Indeed. If you can't do the trick the other guy can then tough shit. That's the game. There's no fair play trophy here. The Joes should go for the throat with all the fucked up tricks they can, it's why they are there and lets face it they don't seem cut out for the stamina game.

I like how someone said hardflip late 180 is whack meanwhile in Pj Ladd's WHL he does a hardflip revert and a switch varial heelflip revert in the same run. Pj used to be the king of pivot tricks, late flips, shifty flips and everything else SLAP could consider whack. Plus this joe did a bigger flip and Pj did a cabelarial bigger flip in wonderful horrible life.

This is what Pj gets for sticking to basic flat ground tricks in these games. I wish he still did all of his shifty and revert tricks that made him stand out in the first place. He holds back.

he won fair and square! hell he was even pretty good on defense in the beginning.
if you were in that game and PJ missed a trick, would you continue to do easy/ basic tricks? of course not! PJ would murder you if you did that.
it's not a style contest, it's a game of SKATE ffs.

PJ's hair is amazing and he lost to a kid with bad style. Don't see why people are complaining, his hair looked great. Going for the throat is about the only way you're going to beat the PJ's and Morgan Smiths in this competition and if you got flown to LA to get your face out there wouldn't you want it to last as long as you could before having to go back to normal life? None of those tricks are beyond PJ, he's done double flip variations in BATB before and his hair looked perticulary flattering. This kid may never be back again and PJ will always be a champion. Did anyone else notice how good PJ's hair looked?

Are people seriously complaining that the kid beat PJ unfairly by doing tricks PJ couldn't land? You guys DO realize that is the EXACT POINT in skate right? There is no other goal besides doing tricks your opponents can't. If you have a problem with PJ losing, go cry in the corner. The kid won fairly, whether you like the outcome or not. Fucking crybabies.

I am gonna disagree with the style moot point, i've watched all of the BATB last weekend, and most of the tricks were done proper. I mean I dont play competitive sports nor do I play games of skate, i like to watch them provided i get to see cool flat-ground tricks...seriously who wants to tune into these games just to see someone win, I mean just look at most of those judges, they dont look stoked. Also, if that was the case there would have been less BATB IMO, who wants to just see people win with no style, its like watching the ninja turtles fight shredder

I think this is the case. PJ doesn't have a strategy other than rattling off tricks and all their variations one after the other until he either wins or misses one. Did he care if he won or lost? Probably not but he didn't let the kid win not did he feel the need to destroy the kid straight out of the gate. All I care about is that his hair is sponsorship worthy in its own right and he seemed genuinely happy to talk to camera in the absence of Reda.

The first time I watched this I was pissed, but now I'm getting a so bad it's good vibe from this kid. 

Everyone's lost a game (or lots) to dudes who have lots of flat ground tricks but do them like shit, and constantly make you go "how the fuck did he even land it like that?" 

S.K.A.T.E. pretty much exists to give these kids a little glory, so in a way it would be horrible/hilarious poetic justice for this guy to just keep winning games.  Part of me is hoping that's what happens.  It's especially funny to think about if you take into consideration that this dude hadn't even stepped on a board for the first time when Mike Mo won the first one.

lmao y'all niggas STILL mad about that shit? gimme a break dude's style was straight ass but not too many people on this planet can say they beat PJ Ladd in a game of skate. even if he "wasn't trying" its still fairly impressive. A win is a win man, it doesn't have to pretty. its like when a girl tries to stunt on you after y'all break up

5 year old part, but still awesome. i wonder how good of a street part he could put out now. and why do you say his name might actually be gavin? am i missing an obvious joke or is there more to that? either way, skateboarding needs more from this dude for sure.

His name is Gavin Adams, Moses is a nickname, don't know how it came about but people have been calling him that since I first remember him arriving on the scene in Cape Town like 10 years ago.

Here's some more clips. Obviously as he is from my home town I'm going to big him up and say I've seen him skate much better:

I used to hate on his skating when I was a kid, but after seeing that I'm pretty impressed. With his level of brain function I'm shocked he's not confined to a wheelchair.

The kid's strategy on rock paper scissors was hilarious. I'm glad Koston won, but I like the joe. The fact that he pulled out the toe flip against Koston was pretty rad.

Are you seriously judging the strength of somebody's career on their performance at BATB?

And if dudes like Salba and Grosso are still around, Koston should never retire. Another reason he shouldn't retire: he has a pro shoe on Nike- I don't like Nike, but if you have a shoe for them, I don't think you are milking it by not retiring.

PJ's hair is amazing and he lost to a kid with bad style. Don't see why people are complaining, his hair looked great. Going for the throat is about the only way you're going to beat the PJ's and Morgan Smiths in this competition and if you got flown to LA to get your face out there wouldn't you want it to last as long as you could before having to go back to normal life? None of those tricks are beyond PJ, he's done double flip variations in BATB before and his hair looked perticulary flattering. This kid may never be back again and PJ will always be a champion. Did anyone else notice how good PJ's hair looked?

This gentleman right here seems to be one of the lesser ones that got the whole deal of this game.

also it's pretty funny that this joe gets a lot of hate for his hardflip late fs 180 while ivan drago is cheered upon for pretty much similar tricks.

Sewa may do a lot of circus tricks but at least he doesn't look like barf on a board doing any of them. Can't even say that about the joe's basics.

He doesn't have the best style and isn't one of my favorite skaters by any means but who can make those tricks look better? PJ? Prod? No..
Sewa is solid. Don't front because you don't like it. Who has a better 540 shuv other than maybe Shane O'Neill?
[close]

Sewas style is sick and funny and he stomps everything proper as fuck unlike that joe. The Ivan Drago comparison makes it enjoyable to me at least.

a bit late, but nevermind...

i personally don't like sewas style, it's plain stiff and somewhat robotic. but that's how the ivan drago comparison wirks, the fashion of a true russian sportsman.
dedicated, focus on the win, tall, stiff, fucking precise and stomping the shit out of everyone crossing his path. or in sewas case, a 7.5 inches wide piece of wood.

me still not gusta, but it makes every game of skate he appears in a rocky fight, so it's fine and enjoyable.

i have to agree. if you watch it frame by frame it really is just a 360 pop shuv with an early/tweaked front foot catch. his front foot does nothing until the rotation is almost complete.

someone i used to skate with way back in the day used to do these proper (backside, not the common frontside one). like, pop the tail and start wrapping with the front foot before any varial took place. mikemo's looks like a pop shuv 1/2 front foot impossible at best. but more like a 360 pop shuv with an exaggerated catch. in the 5 years or so that mo has been claiming to do these, i haven't seen one that actually looked like it spun around because of his front foot. it sucks because if anyone could do it proper, it would be him. anyway, it's much too late. goodnight slap.

I like how right after that still, it shows the board clearly wrapping around his foot. I don't get how that millisecond that the board doesn't touch his foot is the definite proof it's not one.

I call it imposter. If in game of skate someone would do an impossible I would do the imposter, if someone would do a 360shovit, still I would do the imposter. If I'm doing the imposter and someone asks if that was a 360shovit or impossible, I say that i don't care and he can do whichever he likes.

But I like this MikeMo front foot impossible, I've got to say it's way better than that 360shovit late flip or underflip he was abusing. this one is nicer on the eyes and closer to a legit street maneuver.

These have been pretty good games, Astas skating has gotten a bit more stylish and interesting since the last time. Nyjahs and MikeMos game was insane, but kinda sucks he ended it with pretty much the dirtiest move possible. Would've rather seen him give a try at that sw bs 3 flip or some other crazy trick

Boring off the board??  do you want him to main line some gas.. take a shit on a cop car.. while pouring a bucket of cum/blood on himself?
Westgate might be the most boring dude in the world 'off the board' but do i care?  i just wanna see him skate.

Asta is rad.  To me anyway.

Why doesn't the berrics just post the battles everyday or every other day?? I'm sure the most views for them is on the weekends during BATB time, at least this way they would get views regularly.

I think he means he's just one of those dudes whose definitely good but doesn't really stand out.  While I can appreciate his skating, there's plenty of other people who can do what he does with a style some might find more aesthetically pleasing but like you said it's subjective.

Nollie inward heel revert was so good by Sewa and on defense to boot.
Title: Re: BATB 7
Post by: Noble Experiment on May 17, 2014, 08:41:30 AM
That was a good game.
Sewa just might take it this year. It'd be nice to see someone new in the finals, as opposed to the usual P-rod, Mike Mo, and Shane o Neill combo.
Wills nollie inward heels look so damn weird. It's almost mobbed in a sense. He sort of kicks straight down as opposed to outwards.

Also, there's only three Joes left. They're getting weeded out one by one. It'd be pretty funny if none of the Joes make it to the finals. It'll pretty much defeat the purpose of this whole pro vs. joe concept hah.

Wow that kid is a huge douche. Claiming sewa was doing circus tricks but the first trick he got a letter on was a Fs flip...sewa was super humble about it, seems like a chill dude.

And how are you gonna refer to 540 tricks as circus tricks derogatorily after you did a variety of double flips and tried a nollie heel under flip? I'm not saying there's anything wrong with those tricks at all but wow that kid is not very bright.

lulz, slap always has unrealistic expectations regarding the emotional maturity of a teenager who spends all day skateboard trickin'.

that was a good game.  will cares about these games because he gained his reputation beating pros as a kid.  his real mistake is letting on that he cared and isn't just running the standard "just giving him a letter is like a win for me" or "man, i got lucky."

in any case i hope sewa is putting a pressure flip or something grimier into the repertoire, mo seems hungry this year.

Well he hasn't been Girl's golden boy since Cory Kennedy came along and hasn't come close to topping his Fully Flared part so he's got to do something to stay relevant. Normally I would hate if Sewa rifled off the 540/double flips/shuvs right away but Mike Mo will do those pressure flips the first chance he gets.

I bet this kid is stoked he beat Morgan though. I'm pretty sure Morgan doesn't really care too much if he wins one of these things again, probably views it as a hassle that he has to keep coming back to play in these games. I wouldn't be surprised if he missed the FS bigspin and that last switch double heel on purpose.

thought it was pretty funny how strict sewa was for those defensive makes.. kinda saw that coming, but it seemed like he was harder on the joe than he was for morgan

I noticed that to. It annoyed the fuck out of me. Like he assumed that morgan was'nt going to land it and that the game was already over. Fuck that gross ass style and tall goofy fucker.
I highly doubt that.  I'm sure he was just caught up in the moment, didn't realize morgan had another try and actually thought he won.  Although it definitely would've been funny as shit if he ended up losing after that

Anybody that thinks a double heelflip is legit can get the FUCK OUT!

Plus, he has the worst style I have ever seen.

KOOK!
i think the way he did the actual trick wasn't very "legit" (I agree his style is kind of ass), but if he popped the shit out of it and caught it all nice I feel like you wouldn't be saying double heels aren't legit in a game of SKATE

Sewa played a great game and although he's not really my cup of tea skating wise he's got a great attitude towards skateboarding.  That was the best I've seen him skate in one of these things. As many others stated, "lil will" was super salty and I can't imagine anyone watching that will not be super bummed on him.  Morgan smith as always was super cool and looked wayyy better compared to that kid.  Good for him for winning but he's either trying to hard or just has really bad style.

First PJ loses to a joe, then Morgan loses, and now this.... Lots of unexpected shit happening this time around, hah.
And P-Rod looked pretty bummed after the game when they were raising Mooses arm. Looked like he was angry but trying to play it off like he wasn't, ahah.

Finally caught up after being out of town for a week with no internet and after being pissed off about AWS I watched this and Cory's Rat Poison part. First, Nick Holt has the ugliest style i've ever seen, but his weird lankiness seems to allow him to land anything, like an extreme version of Ellington. Lil Will has to be the saltiest personality in skateboarding next to Forrest Edwards. Finally, it was sick to see Moose take down P-rod, but if people openly know his weakness of Inward Heels he won't win the whole thing. Feeling like its finally gonna be Shane's year to take it all.

I feel like in addition to the "if your opponent pops his trick..." section in the rules there should be something titled Luan's Clause, stating that you have to go at least half the speed he does with at least half the pop that'll even out the playing field in regards to some of the more circusy tricks he might not have.

Shane, PJ and Paul are all gone. The finals are gonna be interesting this year; all new faces and none of the same dudes who always make it to the finals every time.

id punch myself in the balls if i beat someone with a double flip or a 540 shove it. There were so many legit tricks that could be done, these kids are degenerating flatground. no nollie flip back 180 or switch front heel, just a bunch of clown dog dick moves. fuck em all

You sound real fun to skate with...take your rules and serious attitude to the football field.

What an amazing game! Easily one of the best ever. I hope this Joe takes it all! Mike Mo will be a challenge though.

Degenerating? It's actually pretty insane that they can do some of these tricks on flat so easily. Don't be jealous because you can't do them. Also that kid had to pull out those tricks because if he didn't Shane would. He played that game we'll.

Its funny, if koston does one pressure flip people bitch, but these kids bust out the shitty double and its all good. heres what i hope goes down. koston plays this kid. Does a pressure flip. frontside pressure.  front shove late kickflip. nollie late flip, late shove it etc... and skunk his ass and hear everyone bitch. The point is, everyone has lame tricks that other people cant do. he pulled this same bullshit with mcclung. just a dick way to play imo. and for the record, shits not that hard, people just dont do them, e.g., morgan smith lost a switch double heel. its a gay fucking trick! but yeah, good win  ::)

thats a good point. I just dont like double flips in general. i just feel like they are the equivalent of hucking. sometimes theyre fine but really not cool. id rather see a switch inward heel over a switch double tre any day.

Post by: moeron on May 25, 2014, 12:21:11 PM
I would rather see a game where people match each other on nolle 360 bigger flips than see a predictable game of standard tricks.

Besides, this Joe matched Shane on a switch big flip, PERFECT at that. He also matched him on a switch bigspin heelflip. He can do it all that's why he won.

I don't see anyone hating on the fact Shane tried a nollie bigspin late flip.

That game was 6 minutes long with insane tricks, if they just did basic tricks it probably would have been a non climatic 20 minute game.

I didn't see it as playing it off, I saw it as acknowledging he missed it.nevermind. I rewatched it and I was thinking of when he put his hands up after the fakie 360 flip, and that was more like he was relieved to land it. It still didn't look to me like he was playing it off, more like he wanted to keep his momentum (literally and figuratively).

Definitely some eye of the beholder shit. I think most anyone would agree a switch 360 double flip is as circus and a 540 shuv... And that's a staple contest trick for Shane. Besides that, I think everyone has a valid point with some of the joes only having wacky Hail Mary tricks, but struggling with the basics. This guy obviously has every stock trick dialed, so him breaking out off the wall flip tricks is less tacky. Kids trying to win.

All the same, it was an awesome game to watch.

This cody kid has a serious chance of winning, he has alot of the stock tricks down plus double heelflips and kickflips on lock. I think he'll get by Asta, but i doubt he'll get by Mo. I doubt he has the impossible late flip and late pressure/varial flip on lock.

i honestly think if i listened to every joe's "weigh in" and "after battle talk" speeches at the same time, the words would be perfectly in sync.  it would be a chorus of robotic voices "i appreciate the opportunity to come out here and am stoked i even got (whatever pro) to (whatever letter" or "I'm just gonna go in there and play it safe, but if the said pro does this, then i'm gonna bring out the hard stuff"... i like hearing luan just like "i don't stand a chance" humility then destroying.

i have no problem with people doing any trick in BATB as long as it's proper, i can't see how any trick could be considered a "dick move" especially if it's a joe. it's not a game of skate at the local park, it's a contest.

As soon as Berra put up money for this contest i think any etiquette goes out the door. These guys aren't playing a friendly game to get loose at the park, their playing  to create an entertainment product with money rewarding their performance/getting exposure for the brands they are sponsored by.

Pretty sick game.  However I don't think they should be letting one of the competitor's family, boyfriend, or fanboys read the the rules.  Seems like it could mess with the other dude's focus, which is often what these things come down to.

I do wanna see this joe play sewa (It'll be like lurch vs frankenstein), although a Luan vs Mo final would be the finest display of flatground one could ask for.

A switch inward heel is far more technical and legit than a switch double heel. same goes for switch back 3 and a bunch of other tricks that were ignored in favor of the shit sandwich and im not defending shanes late flip attempt although that also is more interesting and difficult than the double down.

I got ya. I just think if this joe matched a switch big flip/switch bigspin heelflip easily, chances are he would match a switch inward heelflip. Why waste the time?

It's just a matter of preference in what kind of games you and I want to see. I am just glad you don't sound like a whiny bitch like the rest of SLAP when they disagree with an opinion. And for that I thank you.

yeah, i dont know, i agree in the sense that if you want to win you do what you got to do. I guess i just dont relate to the money/fame game of skate. I will never end a game with a trick i know the other guy has never done unless im just trying to be  a dick. but thats just me. at the end of the day who gives a shit.

Well Shane has obviously done every trick, and is capable of learning every weird tick in two tries, so I'd say it's completely fair to throw some craze at him. Also I think the last trick can be some trick I don't have, because learning new tricks is a big part of why to play skate

Geoff- your beef with these games seems to be that you want them to be more boring. To you, every game should jsut be pros go through the basics that we can all do and have all probably seen literally hundreds of thousands of times before. The circusy shit is what makes it fun to watch. A dude does a wild trick first try under pressure, and if the other guy can copy it, its awesome. And don't use your fake logic that I would be bummed to see Koston do his goofy tricks- no, I wouldn't. That too would make things interesting, especially if they can be matched.

i do not want them to be boring. I cited switch inward heal and switch back 3, are those boring tricks that you can do? i dont think so. fake logic? thats cute. Anyway, maybe you wouldnt be bummed on koston doing those tricks but if you have been paying attention to these boards you would realize that many people here talk shit about koston and him doing pressure flips in these games has been a criticism. if you look at my points all I really complained about was the excessive use of double flips which in my opinion are just basic tricks hucked harder. They are not interesting. A good game of skate takes a while, it does not involved one dude getting shut down by some moron doing the donkey flip. There are a number of really hard tricks that dont suck and should be done first. I think the major problem here is that we are being exposed to too many of these games. its become a sideshow and have become boring by default. I agreed that if there was a chance that I could win 10 grand too I would play dirty. That's why I think the money involved makes it lame.

heres the deal moron. You obviously are not very good at skating so you can not differentiate the nuance between a double flip and a switch back 3. In terms you can understand, its like when you tell youre students that Abraham Lincoln did not free the slaves but the 13th amendment did and they in turn talk to each other about how their teacher thinks hes a cool guy because he rides a skateboard and in reality is a totally tool and is completely unaware of their lack of respect for him. so go on thinking you are important and that you actually are an intellectual instead of a mediocre, moderately intelligent jackass.

You get sanctimonious and act like you're smarter than everyone, which is pretty funny actually, but at the heart you just seem like a dick. I can not like certain kinds of tricks, thats ok. You dont have to agree, I just see why youre always such an asshole.

yeah, im in trouble. I think i can narrow it down to double heals, or maybe you should only be allowed one double flip per game. They can limit types of tricks, one pressure flip, one 540 trick, etc... or it can be based on an algorythm, one fucked up trick per every generally approved awesome trick. also, chicks in bikinis.

Yeah double flips aren't the best at all but at least the dude didnt pull them out till after 25 other tricks had gone down. Shane had some pretty circusy tricks in there like a fakie biggerspin early in the game. Looks like its some kind of plan to do a few basics then pull out something wack.

I think it'd actually be fun to see just a casual game of skate where each skater tries the hardest tricks ever out the gate. That's kind of when it gets fun anyways. No one wants to see someone fall on a kickflip or what not. It's just fun to see people attempt the crazy tricks and land or get close to matching the trick. I do hate when someone exposes someones skating and know then can't land say the double flips. The he just rifles out like double flip, double heel, nollie double, and so on.

I really wanted to see Shane and Luan play a game. Maybe after all this bracket shit gets old, the Berrics can just line up some pros to do some games just to watch. That'd be kind of dope, but then it'd be like a boxing match or something.

For some reason I was expecting it to be way better, like something on the level of Shane's game last week, but it was still a pretty good game. Man, the level that dudes are skating flatground at these days is getting gnarly, just like with any other aspect of skating. I remember back in the day if someone did a cab flip or a nollie double flip it was an amazing sight; I'd be shocked in a sense. Now when I see those kind of tricks done it doesn't even really phase me anymore. Hell, with games like these when I see a cab flip I almost just automatically assume that the other guy is gonna land it too.
But anyways, Luan is fucking crazy at flat. So much pop and speed. It would be pretty cool if he took the whole thing.

But again - the majority of the berrics viewers probably just wanna see chaz ortiz vs nyjah etc.

Chaz vs Nyjah could go into amazing circus trickery which could turn out quite entertaining.

Luan's high speed skating is intimidating. If I would have to play against him I would be embarrassed and quite nervous if I couldn't match tricks at the same skating speed. It's easier to play against slow rolling skater.

Man, you can tell that Koston did not wanna lose that game. Didn't look like he was going easy on that kid, pulling out the pressure flip 180 and the switch back 3's....
Also, Koston always chooses paper. Watch any other game he has been in ever, he ALWAYS chooses paper, to the point where people probably just know to pick scissors so they can go first. This is the first game I've seen where he actually chose rock; he seriously did not want to lose to that atrocious style.

Stoked Sewa won; it's gonna be the first finals that finally has all brand new people in it; no P-Rods or Mo's or Zigram23's; should be a interesting finals night.
Sewa's got pretty much every trick, but he seems to miss the simple basic tricks a lot here and there (switch heels, switch flips, etc).
His main strategy for winning seems to be that he just pulls out those five or six circusy tricks in a row that no one really has (360 double flips, 540 shuvits, FS bigflip, etc). If Sewa goes first on finals night and just goes straight to these tricks, I can't see him losing.

Sewa was at T, he had no choice but to get weird if he wanted to win. Good shit sewa

at this point you shouldnt even go into this "tournament" if you dont have 540 shuvs, double tres, double nollie heels, and the hard flop.

and mo was right about the thing with the "single" tricks, if you have your doubles and 540s it really can fuck up your "normal" game. it is crazy, but mo knows!

what do you mean? i thought it was obvious that i have conceded that the whole thing is about winning. Skateboarding has evolved and i am right on board. i dont understand why no complies arent allowed though. if you can do a trick and pivot it 180 degrees, you should be able to do a no comply.

some people do that weird thing where their front foot leaves the ground super late.  I'm guessing it'll be harder to judge rather than just flip tricks.  Pivots are subjective too, so I honestly don't know.

Nothing too circusy in there.

All of those tricks Mo could have suspected, cause Sewa has done them in all the other games.

He should have had the hardflip late fs 180 on lock.
Title: Re: BATB 7
Post by: AdrianLopez on June 08, 2014, 05:06:42 AM
Yeah, those tricks were no circus tricks at all in my book.

Mo knew Sewa has those five or six tricks on lock. Everybody knew. Maybe a fat check from DC makes you lazy after all because I highly doubt Mo lacks the ability to master those double flips or hardflip variations.

At this point it could be anyones game. Cody seems to have every trick, and his double flip variations on lock in every stance; Sewa has those five or six tricks that hes gone to for every game so that almost every gets letters on; I could see it going either way really.
How awesome would it be if Koston ended up winning it all? People always forget that he has a pretty big bag of tricks. All those pressure flips and weird early 90s tricks, I feel like if he really wanted to he could take the whole thing.

Title: Re: BATB 7
Post by: Swithflip on June 08, 2014, 06:13:04 PM
there are tricks everyone can do. There are tricks that most people can do and some people cant, e.g., hardflips, etc... then there are hard tricks, switch bigflip, nollie inward heel that most people can still do but often miss. Then there are tricks that are specific to certain people (either they come natural to them or they learned them screwing around and just kept doing them) e.g., pressure flips, late flips, dolphin etc.... then there are tricks that most people dont seem to give a shit about that really arent that hard, theyre just lame so no need to waste your time unless you are fucking around, e.g., double flips, 540 shove its, late kickflips.
so when playing skate, most people tend to do the tricks that they know the other guy should be able to do and if he is feeling good he will try a difficult trick. yes, skate is a game of consistency, not sudden death.
if you are at T and the other guy only has a couple letters no one gives a shit if you throw out a wild card (tricks that you know the other guy most likely does not have for whatever reason).
These kids are playing to win, we have established that, if i was in there I would only do my fucked up tricks because i want that money. so, the criticism isnt necessarily on the babies, its on Berra and Koston for setting up this bullshit in the first place. Making skateboarding about beating the other guy is simply takes the fun out of it (as evidenced by koston who probably regrets this horrible idea).
some of you have said that you like it this way because it was getting boring, well, maybe it was getting boring to you, but to people who like to play skate, you understand that it isnt always instant gratification, sometimes you have to wait for a game like cole v busenitz.
Normal contests are different because its still about the individual going on the course and just doing their own thing. But this, this is kill or be killed, nothing fun about it, cut throat, dirty shit that has no place in skateboarding except when youre drinking beers with your homies and feel like being a dickhead.
but i guess we can keep defending the berrics because this is obviously what skateboarding is about now.


I agree, these circus tricks nobody sees in a normal session in a square with friends, the majority are children who want to thrill but have no style or consistency. Forget POP style and speed. It would be very ugly to see a Appleyard giving a Double Flip, Ianucci too. Antwuan already given in Baker video, but definitely are for idiots with no style maneuvers.

Mullen ain't doing no switch f/s 540 shuvits on command, c'mon. The Mutt glory days for most of us consisted of him doing tricks that even Shane Heyl has on lock.

Cepeda does not fit into Mo's double flip formula. Cepeda looks like he's asleep when does single-flip basics. I hope he pulls out the switch 540 lazer during the finals...

There's been a shit ton of arguing in this thread regarding the 'circus' tricks. What if somebody threw out a heelflip body varial, kickflip pretzel or switch casper? I'm just saying this shit could be waaaaaaay more ignorant. Everyone's just prisoners of their own mind these days, man.

Just because Rodney hasn't done some of those tricks doesn't mean that he wouldn't learn them instantly. He did invent pretty much every flip trick and spent a decade winning every flatground contest until they discontinued them. He has an understanding of the dynamics of how skateboards pop, spin, and flip that nobody else does.
Not a chance he'd ever enter though, he's made it very clear that he hates contests more than anything- and not in a cool guy way either.

Have u noticed how Xenu was all over the place during BATB7 Finals?
i.e. Ethan Suplee during Kroetkov vs Cepeda...
And I'm sure they were hidden all over the place too.

Just think, if you did that, it would probably be the greatest kick flip you have ever/will ever do.

And this cunt is knocking them out for fun.

Never heard in flip before. Is that the straight pressure heel Koston and Cody did?

yup, straight pressure was always called an in flip back in the day (and i'm pretty sure it is wasn't a regional thang)

"No do tricks slide on the ground" ???. Pressures should be banned.

You can't be so stupid that you've seen them read the rules that many times and still don't know what they are.
1) Pressure flips don't slide on the ground
2) that rule ends with "if your opponent popped his trick"

How is life in the special home you idiot?

3) no one likes you
4) youre not really smart, you just regurgitate other people's ideas

This infamous rule, made after this early match with jojo.

Joey Brezinski Vs Mike Carroll: BATB1 - Round 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yG5fXcCwOlk#)

Back when batb was simpler, and no one was aware of the cash prize and they were just having fun.
