Waiting for someone to do a Fingerflip in one of these games. That's not really a "grab" is it? Maybe it is I don't know. How about a 360 body var. Or how about primo slide. Damn I'm old. Noticing a lot of people are doing backside big spin and then switch frontside big spin. Also surprised how good all these skaters are. It's like switch varial heel, no problem... pretty ridiculous.

Really insightful shit doc. A fingerflip is a grab because of how you have to grab your board to do it.

Case could be made  you don't really grab the board, you just shove it with your fingers.  Watching old games I enjoy how there was less etiquette. If you watch billy marks play mike mo in BATB1 they do all sorts of what could be considered "cheap" tricks against one another (billy does a heelflip late underflip? or something). Another game that surprised me was Peter ramondetta vs. Mike mo. Ramondetta does a front-shove late flip and does some sort of impossible variation I'm not sure what it was. Or Albert Nyberg vs PJ Ladd, he does those Ollie sex changes. Waiting for someone to do something that's not another Nollie flip or bigspin kickflip or Nollie Hardflip. Is it possible to do a fakie big spin but rotate your body the opposite way as the baord? like reverse half-cab.

Will Fyock winning is disappointing in a bunch of ways. It makes me want to see the competition with only the nicest dudes in skateboarding.

Give me Karl Watson vs Richard Mulder

Christ, you can tell Sewa has been training for this shit. His next game is against Cepeda, one S.K.A.T.E. pro versus another.

I wish Sewa would go for the kill immediately instead mixing in odd tricks here and there. His passive aggressiveness is a waste of my time. They should start a second bracket for skaters that will go through all the basics first. Is there a monetary prize this year?

probably, but most of them only showed up because it's like jury duty for pro skaters.

Thousands are watching, of course he practices for BATB, he's in it. What do you want to see someone stumble in pitching their smoke and bailing f/s flips? Sewa's sponsors and the Scientologists wouldn't like that.

Calling a 540 pop shuv a bitch move is insane. That's a legit hard as fuck trick on flat.

Sewa is good but damn does he come off as robotic. Dolph Lundgren indeed, but more Universal Soldier Dolph than Rocky Dolph.

Him vs Cepeda might end up taking 15 mins plus.

I personally don't know a single person who calls it roshambo unless they're trying to be being a cunt about it. But that might just be the region I live in.

I played skate today at my local park. It reminded me that I wouldn't last a goddamn second with any of these cunts.
I primo'd on a pop-shove and got credit carded on a regular heelflip attempt.
