the venerable pundits of Battletalk will closely examine this superb performance by cobra cole, topping this cake of shit with fresh turd icing, all in the name of content.
dennis, you're beautiful.

Busenitz was looking mighty on point. This entire bracket was fucked the moment these rematches were decided upon.

its a game of skate. if they cared about it 10 years ago why wouldnt they care about it now? judging by their recent footage/parts, their skill is clearly on the decline, it happens to everyone.
I;m sure i;m not the only dc/monster/subaru type guy here

Chris cole took a bad slam during that game. Fell on both forearms pretty hard. I always wonder if anyone gets really hurt during BATB by accident.

Berra is an idiot for thinking he can recreate the magic that game gave off the first time around. What made their original game so good in the first place was the surprise factor that came with it; Cole was at the top of his game and considered one of the better game of skate/flatground skaters at the time so everyone was expecting  Cole to just completely destroy Dennis, no one expected Dennis to put up such a fight. The fact that Dennis exceeded everyone's expectations and got Chris to T and there was a moment where you genuinely weren't sure who was gonna win was what made the game so great to begin with. There was absolutely NO WAY that the berrics were gonna be able to recreate that magic, especially with how crazy the games of skate have gotten since then and how burnt out people have gotten on these. What made for impressive games back then don't really make for impressive games now because people have higher expectations now on what a good game should be since there's been so many of these; dudes can have a game where they match each other on cab flips and triple flips and shit and people will still think it was just a mediocre game, when back in the day if that were to happen it would automatically be considered a good game.

Well the Najera vs Joslin match was pretty good yet felt underwhelming at the same time

WARNING: POST MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS. READ WITH CAUTION
First good game in a while. Feels like all the games for the past few weeks have been garbage. Joslin has a better flatground game than I thought, dude fucking kills it. I guess to have all those tricks down huge gaps and stairs so well it only makes sense that he's consistent as fuck at them on flat as well. It'd be cool to see him make it to the finals!

I agree with everything you said.  I would also like to add that back when BATB was new, we didn't really know what everyone's flat ground game was like, so every game was a surprise and made it exciting.  That's why I was excited for BATB 9 because of new faces, even though it turned out kinda lame.

Damn Joslin is so damn consistent and Diego did a great job hangin in there.

Diego is sick.

His pop is insane... just can't stand his toddler outfits and there's something about his style that seems forced/fake.

Hahaha Diego almost got skunked on basics. He did do some nice tricks though. His style looks like jscott haha.

Joslin vrs asta is gonna go 20 mins with every basic trick done flawlessly.

It almost seemed like he had too much pop for the finesse required for a nollie backside heelflip revert like Joslin did. I would have loved to see a well popped, perfectly spun nollie 360 heel though.

Dude's sick.

That was the most bizarre shit. On regular heelflips Diego had his foot like a kick flip and couldn't do them but switch he did them like nothing hanging his heel off like you normally would. His frontside 360 was a amazing. Could have done it over a hydrant on flat like nothing.

najera vs. joslin. not really sure who I give less of a shit about. although I am curious to know if najera is still doing that thing where he pops an ollie after his tricks.
