The level is insane nowadays. Everyone can do every trick, fuckups are the exception. Not sure if that makes it more or less interesting though.

Truth...every trick with pop and good flick.

This BATB is already off to a better start than the last one with no pre/post match shit.

I'll come out and say I don't mind Cody Cepeda's skating at all.

That Miles and Ishod match got me stoked to go skate. They're both so good. Interesting to the movement of how they set up their feet and pop/flick so quickly and spread their legs to catch the board so perfectly bolts. As a skater who grew up with parking lots and tarmacadam, it's always crazy to see flips with perfect form like that. Inspiring, even.

So I guess Miles can't really front bigspin? I wouldn't have guessed that, but a lot of top tech pros sometimes have that one movement that they can't manage. Reminds me of Moose vs PJ, all of Moose's letters were some kind of inward heel variation (the four stances and a fakie inward big heel, I think).

Found myself having these same thoughts while watching the games. Should interesting to see who advances because I'm rooting for style instead of just getting it done ugly and like a robot.

Also, being a Chris Chann fanboy myself I was wondering why he isn't in the bracket.

Was curious how this was going to go now that Berra is of Berrics and it's funny he's missing from this video. Wonder when they actually filmed this

Also they're doing some kind of a review talk show on the games now with mike mo and Crob, shit was super awkward to the point that it's pretty funny, you can tell Chris doesn't give a shit about the battles or nerding out on flatground tricks

Ishod's tricks were pretty ugly. Also, I'm still not a fan of doing kickflips, heelflips, and 360 flips for the first twelve tricks, it gets repetitive after a while

He's not that bad and seems like a cool guy, but I just don't think he's as consistent as most of the other guys in the competition.

Mike Mo sounds like the kind of guy who likes to talk about tricks and how they're done. You ever see his trick tips from years back. You can tell he is always thinking about the details of how to do tricks.

Cody Cepeda: ultimate crop dust flipper who you'd never want to watch a part from but also the number 1 skater for a competition like BATB. Having some psycho wildcard like him in the competition assures we'll see some interesting shit.

I also love the addition of the C-Rob version of the post-game show. Fuck it the Berrics is a fun park to skate and BATB has been the harbinger of spring for a decade now. You can act like you hate it but you know you don't.

has cody ever skated street?

...do people want to see him skate street? slowest skater I've ever seen
Yeah he does, he's from some crazy rust belt part of Michigan i think, he and all his friends skate this plaza in one of the downtowns that has everything. I'm guessing it was something built when the auto industry was killing it and the city had crazy tax base and now that city is totally dead, and no one seems to care that they skate this spot.

For the dude who said Berra is of the Berrics, you meant "off" ?? Cause he's sitting with Crob in the bleachers during one of the games.

I guess it makes it a more even competition for everyone, but nothing "shocks" me anymore.  Once somebody does an insane trick in these, soon everyone does it and becomes the norm.
