He's making the Berrics not so cringe worthy

Would have been great to see the legion win and win the whole thing.

Most PJ footage since WHL. Seems like he's just as good as he ever was. What a great game, if only all of them were like this.

You may be right, if he actually released a street part we may know for sure.

Check the pre-game where Chris asks PJ about The Nine Club:
BATB X | Before The Battle: PJ Ladd vs. Billy Marks
He's more outgoing than usual and not entirely sheepish about the offer. Would be crazy if he did it.

That would seriously need to be a 2+ hour podcast. Its crazy to think that hes been pro for so long and hasn't had an interview were people really dig into his head. Hes still very recluse.

Has he ever had a magazine interview?  I think I read every Transworld from '99-'08ish and I never remember a pro spotlight or anything

He had an interview in either Skateboarder or an early issue of TSM I'm pretty sure.

i think he had a checkout w/ a trick on somerville ledges but i'd bet dollars to donuts he never had an actual interview where he answered questions. which is why we created fiction like alexis was his lady and a bunch more i can't recall.

I'm fine with PJ being so silimar to Penny. Adds even more to his "mysterious" ways.

I'm also extremely partial towards PJ, in my head he is still in my top 5 skaters of all time, more footage or not. When he did his latest street trick (nosegrind up the ledge), I was all "Yepp, still in my top 5".

? have a somewhat similar but a really positive experience. When I was 14, PJ skated in this rather small contest in Finland. He would not skate the course at all expect for his contest runs, he just sat in the corner. I think he skated for a total of 3-5 minutes the whole weekend. He landed pretty much everything first try, nollie flipped in to a quarterpipe and won the contest. I thing it was just before the WHL - video came out and he was not well known yet. It was a magical experience for my teenage brain.


Your tapping into my own PJ story here. I entered the same contest, the Pro Skate that was in Hartwall arena, i think?

It was pretty crazy how he didn't touch the course at all - he skated flat behind the course the whole time, dropped in and won. Had no idea who he was, I think I had seen an element ad with him before that, but nothing else.

Here's the thing though, me and my friend connected somehow with him, and went street skating in Helsinki with him a whole day, just us three. Skated the black marble ledges that is outside a museum or something? And a few other spots. He was friendly but a bit quiet.

A week or so after I was at a WESC shop in Stockholm and they just got a new video, the WHL video.. I put it in and got blown away. Nobody believed me when I told them I just had skated with that guy.

Thats like one of my all-time favorite skate hing to happen to me. Im happy it happen before the video though, after it would have just been us star strucked basically.

Next round is PJ vs Moose, a rematch of one of the best matches ever.

That PJ vs Legion game was pretty great. PJ lookin' good out there but damn Felipe's tricks were high as shit.

I like how Felipe is that asshole that does the trick you just tried and missed. Glad PJ gave him a taste of his own medicine. Felipe is one of the worst dudes.

dont care how talent he is, cant stand em.

 
i'm no felipe fan either but that was probably out of good fun because its a fun game of skate and they travel around together being on PlanB having fun together skating!

skating is fun remember... especially playing a game of flatground with a bunch of other dudes trying to beat PJ Ladd

Think they said sick. The team was entertaining but I really wanted to see Billy and if he'd take it seriously. On KOTR he acted like he was retired.

Oddly, I hope it's just that. I remember on KOTR there was a random aside where Mike Sinclair kind of touched on Billy having issues with gambling addiction, and in a later episode going through a divorce while doing the show. Mike kind of used it though, by paying for scratch tickets to get Billy to do a challenge in the book he kind of took advantage of Billy. I hope it's really just Billy being sick or injured last minute though, and if not I hope legit friends are looking out for him right now.

Both still kill it at skateboarding but BATB has been so overly done to death that no one cares about playing except sewa.
