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.

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.

lol cuz rodney mullen automatically just gave his consent to participate huh?

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

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.
Are you a kook? If you would say this, the answer is “YES”
I quit skating for a time due to piling out

If Rodney was in it, I wonder if everyone he faces would have to do all of their tricks switch too.

This is pretty much who's gonna be there but there might be a few substitutions

[close]

so literally everyone from last year besides Nyjah? that would suck.
[close]

I doubt alex mizurov beeing there, he said in an interview berra would be a kook and that they treated him not very well, fucked up his time plan, also morgan smiths last trick the fakie inwardy thing was refilmed when alex was in the shower... stuff like that
[close]

can anyone confirm? That would totally suck if they start to stage games.

Wanna tell me what the point of that would be?

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.

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.
[close]
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?

great idea! i think my favorite game ever was mike vallely vs. chris cole just because they both have such a different bag of tricks; makes it so much more interesting.

Impish sausage is definitely gonna blow up as a euphemism this year

i would add Daewon, Luan, Willow, Lucas Puig, Busenitz

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.

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?

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

Isn't one Mullen's legs/ankle fucked up or is the whole switching stance thing a rumor?

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.

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.

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.
I thought it wasnt just him solo, shouldve stuck with my og thought.

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
