Buttery Ass BATB hype:

It probably won't happen, but I REALLY want Donovan to whoop Malto's ass to put him up against Louie, then either P-Rod or Chris Colbourn after that.

I can imagine their match will probably be set up for entertainment purposes, like Donovans rematch with koston from all those years back or the match P-Rod played against Carlos Ribeiro. If they do a non fixed match it'll probably just end up sucking and being one sided, especially if malto goes first. Donovan has all those weird circus tricks here and there but seems to not have a lot of the more standard tricks too well at all. I can picture Sean just doing five switch or nollie flip variations in a row and blanking him out.

Has Malto seriously not won any BATB games?? why the fuck is he in the "best of the best" when Benny Fairfax was the first winner and not even in it. Berries to cheap to fly him out maybe? By looking at all the skaters involved, it looks like Morgan is the only one that resides further then SF.

A lot of companies invested in Malto and they want/need their moneys worth. Push him back in front of everyone's eyes so they can sell those dunks and boards and coconuts and whatever else. The kid didn't take talking-to-the-camera-lessons (I made that up but he has child actor vibes) for nothing. Who cares what he skates like now or if anybody gives a shit about him, they have a marketing strategy in place and that machine doesn't stop.

He wasn't. He lost to Mike Mo in the finals.

I remember this match being a lot more boring, but it was actually decent.
Benny Fairfax was such a different skater back then. Can't imagine him doing half of these tricks in a Palace edit now.

Misdirection. Malto is 200% a child actor no matter how old he is.

I love Chris Roberts but seriously, these pre game interviews are so awkward.

It's Carlos Ribeiro vs Morgen today.

They're awkward because he has to toe the official Berrics "this is the best of the best" line while knowing it's bullshit. I only saw the first vid, in which Roberts and Mike Mo first enthused for several minutes about how all of the skaters in this were equally good, you really can't make any predictions, any of them could win it - and then proceeded to make exactly the same predictions/brackets until the finals.

I know I'm in the minority here, but goddamn, I do not enjoy watching Morgan Smith skate. Not a fan of no-catch flip tricks.

Morgan is dope. I enjoy his skating. He reminds me off someone that would have skated for Alien around timecode era

He's savage. We all know how good Carlos is and Morgan made easy work of him.

Sw Front Shuv, Fakie Bigflip, Sw Backside Flip ... it was clearly Carlos' nerves. Good game though, Morgan's consistency is impressive + his style is a bit snakey, as if he was made of gum imo.

Despite all the crap like awkward interviews, Malto-Donovan-videos, rules etc. I just can't stop watching BATB ...
i likes skooterboarding.. be lets friends :)

skateboarding is way too easy for that dude Carlos. Watch the way he flicked that nollie front big flip..... so much control with that pop and llate flick.

Surprised Morgan kept his glasses on. Cairo Foster said they're an "occupational hazard." Are contacts safer? I don't know.

I've also fanned out on him, saw him murdering Ashbridges early in the morning when no one else was there and at Shred Central years ago. At the Loft as well, he's got miniramp skills. Always been amazing. That's my contribution to Slap's excessive Torontonian content.

Amazing game from both, Morgan more for the what and Carlos more for the how. Agreed, Morgan could go far.

Morgan skates alot more than most pros, he's got every basic trick in his arsenal.

Plus he's used to shitty Canadian conditions. Most pros wouldn't even think of skating when it's -15 outside

morgan always seems like he's too kind, or humble, or good natured to bring the massacre again.  but look at him with those glasses on that barely hide what he truly is...

Shit I couldn't even imagine skating with it being -15. I've skated a several times when it's -5 Fahrenheit and I had to where full thermal under layers wool socks and gloves with Vaseline on my nose.
