BATB13

This thread got me thinking.
Quick question: in the end of the reading of the BATB rules, they always say, “Let’s keep it lean…”  what do we suppose that is intended to mean, precisely?

Maybe just ‘quick’?

It means that if you don’t comply Xenu will have your  skinny ass for breakfast.

The real Battle at the Berrics was the friends we made along the way.

It feels like a low hanging fruit for another TF or group to take this over and re-legitimize it with skaters who aren’t building bombs/ learning quadruple heel flips in a shed in the woods.

Randomly calling the Irish guy a bomber?

He seems pretty chill to me

I think the reference was meant to be less "Ted/racism" and more "Newton/Year of Wonders"

Also, How long until Slides 'n' Grinds suffers the same fate?
Other than primos, caspers and darkslides where is the potential for circus ledge tricks and who's doing them?

Nick is pro for Cody Mac’s company Snake Farm

These days it's too easy for anyone to make a deck and slap a name on it. These are the new ams. A professional is somebody paid by a company with at least a 20 year history OR started more recently by a legend that has the right to bestow such a status like P-Rod or Shane O'Neill.

Good afternoon Mr. Duckey, I'm not a fan of Cody BigMac, but I can absolutely acknowledge he is really fucking good at skateboarding. When he nollie big-heeled Carlsbad gap he earned his staying power. He's not a legend in my book, but he probably is in a couple Texan's books. I guess what I'm trying to say is him starting a board company and turning people pro is warranted.

Now if Nick Holt started his own company, to turn himself pro (like Ninejah did with I&I lest we forget), then that would be straight unacceptable.

Big spin Wallenberg was sick too.

Could be a while since these are extremely fucking difficult. Safe for maybe one or two darkslides i don't youll see anyone pulling this off within a few tries.

Have you also sometimes wondered what it would be like, if we got two AIs that had been trained on the same data to discuss a subject?

The game between Jamie and Tyson felt a bit like that - Is there any flatground tricks any of them can't do?

It feels strange that I hate so much on them. It's not even like they have bad style - it just irritates me so much that BATB somehow went from having fun with a novelty game you use to pass time, when skating, to accidentally re-invent freestyle. I can't wrap my head around wanting to skate so flatground in such an elite way! Maybe it's because we didn't have a lot of spot, where I grew up, so anything besides flatground is what excites me. Or maybe it's just because skating is cooler, when it hits the streets...

I'm happy Cole came as far as he did. Has he always had such a low pop?

Berra really sucks

Berra sucks almost as much as dumb data

[IBSflippedeltoro]

I started a poll whether Nick Holt should've gotten a re-do or not. The awkward losers just stormed the floor when Borra tried to pause. https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=128460.0

cool bro

[oyolar]

I wouldn't have been mad if he had gotten a redo, but he also had major toe drag that stopped him and he lifted his foot off of his board to readjust and start barely rolling again. That seems like not a make.

I doubt people running out would have stopped Berra if he felt strongly about it

[Eric Dolphy]

The highlight for me was this petty little clap from the girl in the beanie after Tyler’s fourth or fifth double flip


Lol this crowd looks sooo enthused

damn yall really be watching this huh
i spanked the fast forward button thru the whole event

Yeah. That shit always happens tho doesn't it?

It was a redo obviously. Those kids are invested in having Griff win. Because they think it's against "the Bera plan"

Which is lame.

Nick is YouTube Royalty.

Everyone in YouTube land is coping the majer crews content design more or less. Arnettes friends should respect.

Nick is owed.

That Brian Arnette kids FRIENDS should pay. Give him a gift certificate to Sheffs Jewelery Spot. Didn't they notice Nick's old lady's stressful faces during the match?

There's no way this isn't going to come up again and again till next spring.

So wack bruh. So wack. 

ELO is bullshit now because Dumb Data didn't factor in Arnette and his knitting circle or park rats.

Someone should run those numbers again anyway because I swear I heard Dumbass data say. Griffin over PJ which is chemically impossible in anything skate related.

Leave it to the math club to be so obtuse.


His fuckin story is top fuckin shelf tho. Way cooler than any park rats in lala land

There was a $100 entry fee just to watch 30 minutes of flatground skating from a couple of dorks. This is about peak enthusiasm considering that.

[Uncle Flea]

My apologies to the Arnette kid. He's innocent lol.

[theextrabanana]

$100 entry fee? That’s crazy. I wonder which bank they owe money too

I wondered if there’s anything else besides a couple games of skate. A best trick contest would be nice. Video premiere? Stand-up act or drama show? Live music?
Nah don’t think so.

a berra speech is always somewhat comedic

[Yonnycage]

They coulda hired Mikey Alfred to plan the whole thing, I hear he knows a couple magicians

fuck a redo, dude planted his whole foot down. why is this even a question. jamie won get over it american fucks.

Yup. Berra was being a horrible ref all day so it was time for the people to step in. Berra is like a soccer ref. He wants to be the main event of the game even though nobody came to see him

Yeah, especially since the Berrics is in fucking L.A where there are hundreds of amazing skateparks, with amazing skaters doing amazing tricks, that you can just walk up on and watch for free.

You could give $100 to a homeless person to take a shit on Borra's car. That sounds like a better time than watching BATB 13 finals.

[merrystem]

Did anyone else notice the contradiction in Tyler's pre game interview and his match? He was talking about not practicing and just wanting to have a "classic BATB game of skate", then proceeded to jump straight into all the double flip known to man kind. Then with poetic justice, he misses his last trick and Jamie runs him through all the basics before taking him out
