It was actually cool that Chris Haslam didn't do any crazy circus tricks. I mean we all know that he has some ridiculous shit up his sleeve, but I enjoyed it a lot more.

Hah, about time we finally saw some nollie big spins in a game. Haven't been any at all up until this game, including all of the first BATB.
I, like a lot of others, thought Haslam was going to take it, but oh well, it's just a flatground game of skate. I['m surprised at Davids flatground skills, didn't know he was that good!

I've never seen anyone do a frontfoot impossible so far, I'd like to see that.

I like frontfoot impossibles:

Daaaamn, chalk one up for Ana Lucia!
That was one of the best games they've had since this has been going on.
Pretty fucking impressive for the kid, he may go far in this.

that pre-game interview was kinda funny where chris says he's playing against a 12-year old and you hear david saying in the back "I'm nineteen!"

there is so way one single person predicted haslam losing, and with all the other bracketweirdups, i'd be reeeally surprised if anyone was still safe.

I'm surprised Haslam stuck to normal tricks. In the end it's probably the reason he lost.

so why'd dompierre ditch out? i'm pretty pissed on that. not hyped on david gonzalez playing skate, he can't even speak good english.

it was funny in the interview when haslam said he was playing a 12 year old and you heard d-gonz in the backgroud "ill be 19 in 5 days" funny shit
aaand did anyone spot this in the interview video?



Thats Jack, Jim Thiebaud's son. What's so strange about that?

I never knew David Gonzalez wasn't a native English speaker/American. Somehow this makes his enormously gay choice of clothing more excusable to me.

. This is where circus tricks win games, I don't know why he didn't pull any of them out. i think he was too sure he was going to win and played nice. tisk tisk haslam, tisk tisk. Definitly messed up my bracket.
I knew he wasn't going to start pulling switch 540 bigspin heelflips and all that other shit. No one can do those kinds of tricks consistently, and in a game of skate they're trying to win they aren't going to even try. Being good at skate means being consistent with all the basic tricks, not having a bunch of weird shit you'll never land.

That was a sick game, they're both incredibly consistent. Sucks because I had Haslam going far, but oh well. I think David might be a legitimate SOTY candidate soon.

i'm not really stoked on gonzales and this has not changed my opinion of him. and that's indcluding his over use of reverts on a mim ramp (i liked almost all of the other tricks though). why are people suddenly stoked on him?

all I can say is, holy fuck. is haslam on crack? there wasnt one hard trick in that whole fucking game (with the possible exception of gonzalez' fake as front foot impossible). how the hell did he lose? any local hero could have landed those tricks. man, i hate shit like this.

You take this shit way to seriously, haslam obliviously didn't care if he won or not.

And since when are switch backside flips easy?
