Best game thus far! Giving credit where it is due and that's to Trent.

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

I really hope PJ wins this one because now that he lives in NYC, I feel like he wound't be too keen on traveling back there for the games.

i guess it is common among plan b riders to say stuff like: "yeah, i am filimg" and "yeah sure, the video will be the dropping in the very near future" and "shecks got b/s flip down el toro" and "danny way has a lot of street footage" ... it seems to me, that this is almost some sort of a running gag! and we all know, there never will be a planb video  >:(  :'(

look at PJ's fakie hardflip at 2:32:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDNXtfPqqbg&feature=player_embedded#!

no one is in the park, guessing the camera guy missed it and had to refilm, but i'd rather fuel speculation into a berrics conspiracy theory, discuss....

skating is all about choosing your outfit very deliberately, going out in public. looking super sick. and then riding your board a little bit

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

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.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was an adidas intro part he's working on, at least that's what i'm hoping.

trent landing the nollie 540 bigflip made me make the loudest noise ive ever made while looking at a cpomputer screen.

Same.  I pretty much shouted and laughed at the same time - my girlfriend's roommate came in to ask if everything was okay.

Excellent game!

yeah amazing game.  trent got skunked but that performance would have won just about any other game. 

i wouldn't mind seeing pj take it at all.  although paul seems pretty focused this year as well, so i'm not gonna get ahead of myself.

superfuture is never coming out. I remember when I first started skating I heard about it and was really hyped but it's been what? 5 years since the promos for it came out and not diddly. false hopes...

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

well that all depends on your strategy...right?  Take that felipe gustavo game for instance, the dude missed some pretty basic tricks.  For pros, at least

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.
