Skateboarding => USELESS WOODEN TOY BANTER => Topic started by: heckler on April 17, 2009, 08:27:30 PM

The full list of skaters who could be in BATB is on the berrics site. This might be even better than the first one - Mike Anderson, Guy, Daewon, Rowley, Silas, Lizard King, David Clark, and a fuckload of others. Mike V will be the first skater out if he actually makes it into this shit.

-
literally was about to post this but searched around to make sure it wasnt posted already
Holy fuck that list is sick, way better than the first
-
definitely. i'm hyped as hell for jimmy carlin and dustin dollin.
-
I hope the Gonz makes it in.
-
fuck if they do a vote of who should be in it, it has the potential to be really gay knowing the kids who watch this.
at least have some sort of quality control.
no mike v.
no ronson, no atiba, reda, none of that crap. itd just be a waste of however much time and effort they put into it.
it would be funny to see gonz beat felix or some shit on a longboard.
-
brian brownsssssssssssssssssss
-
A good way to hold the voting would be to give the voters a list of all of the potential skaters to be in it and have the voters pick which 32 they want to see in it rather than have one vote per person for a single skater.
-
Human beings playing skate against Daewon is going to be really unfair to them.
-
is this one going to take a year?
-
This game is going to suck if the people on slap are allowed to vote. I want colin kennedy and cody lucas in it definitely.
-
This is gonna be way better than the first.
-
Daewon,lizard,baca,fowler,gonz,kirchart.
if any of those make it
I will be so stoked!
-
well if mark does shows up, I hope he shows up in Vision gear.
on the serious tip, this list sounds like they were thinking of names off the top of their head. I don't think all those guys are really down for BATB 2.
-
Human beings playing skate against Daewon is going to be really unfair to them.
i think i read in an interview that jon allie once beat daewon in skate.
-
I doubt daewon is that hard to beat. Doesn't seem like the type of person that would be good at flat, even though he kills ledges and mannies.
-
They need to get rid of those No handplants/grabs/etc. rule if Mike V's gonna survive this.
So fucking psyched on that list. Barletta? C'mon! This is gonna be amazing!
-
TK P rod & Daryl fuck yeah. No chaser as well is in it
-
I already know Kelly Hart will have one of the best looking games of skate they have had yet, my proof:

if pappalardo and puleo and rowley and fowler and kenny anderson and silas and janoski and hoyle and kalis and jamie thomas and howard and leo all make it this will be the best thing ever.

I am so hyped for appleyard
-
Why can't they just split these guys up into several brackets? I want to see them all dammit!
-
wow. was talking shit on batb2 earilier, but this has me excited for it. you mother fuckers better vote for jerry hsu; that fool is crazy at flatground.
-
shit! so dope. so many heads
-
I would love life if Appleyard and Janoski were in it.. My two favorite styles.
-
it'd be sick if rodney mullen was in it.
-
caswell! apples! janoski... hot damn
-
Don't really see any competition listed for Cole.
-
i'm pretty sure this is gonna blow my mind.
-
so gay that they listed like every pro skater that is awesome, hopefully the people who obviously suck dick wont make it into this if they do some kind of stupid vote, berra could have something really sick on his hands if he doesnt fuck it up
-
Marnell! The dude's flip tricks are on fucking point.
-
Everyone vote for pops so we can shoot down COTG's notion that he can't skate like back in the day. I wanna see pops doin the amazing flat we all know he can.
-
pops dude.. and antwuan, the gonz, silas, david clark, worrest, i'm fuckin hyped.
-
Rowley.
-
As much as I like chris cole I don't think he is the end all be all, he keeps winning the es game of skate because not many pros enter nowadays
-
I really hope it's gonna be the way you get to choose 32 skaters instead of just voting for 1 skater.
-
that list is sick, but if adam dyet gets voted in im going to claw my eyes out and sue berra for the damages
-
Rowley.
-
Rickk Howard vs York,
Rickk Howard vs Jereme Rogers
Bring that shit on....
-
i hope sammy baca makes the cut. i think a lot of people would be surprised to see how good he is at flat.
-
Didn`t expected so much good names, I`m so hyped right now
-
poppalardo vs. wenning...so epic...
-
poppalardo vs. wenning...so epic...
that was the only thing i could think of. there will be lot's of drama, many hugs and and tears. love that.
-
FUCKEN GONZ!!!!
-
DIVINE CALLOWAY!!!!!!
-
man there are so many STUPID names that I would absolutely hate to see skate flat
-
FREDDY
-
At first, I thought this thread was gonna be about a 2nd Beauty and the Beast tour. Anyway...
As already mentioned, Popps vs Wenning would be interesting.
Gonz vs David Gonzalez vs Danny G. vs Rob G. might be fun.
Gonz vs J.Lee - Blind(folded)
Mike V. vs Sheffey - sans skateboard
Dennis vs Omar - speed
Heath Kirchart vs Geoff Rowley - raw
AVE vs Danny Garcia - gnartech
Rick McCrank vs Rick Howard - battle of the ricks/King of Canadia
Jerry Hsu vs Kevin Long - bff
Guy Mariano vs Louie Barletta - wtf?
other fantasy skate league match-ups:
Silas Baxter Neal vs Kenny Anderson
Leo Romero vs Peter Ramondetta
Ethan Fowler vs Dylan Rieder
Bobby Puleo vs Oyola
-
Appleyard and Hart WILL OWN SHIT!
-
cory kennedy could beat cole, probably everyone if he were in it
-
I woulda liked to see Morgan Smith on that list. Dude woulda been a contender.
-
I doubt daewon is that hard to beat. Doesn't seem like the type of person that would be good at flat, even though he kills ledges and mannies.
ARE YOU FUCKING regular .. YOU HAVE JUST CONFIRMED THAT YOU HAVE A SMALL SET OF NUTS IN YOUR EYES AND A ASSHOLE IN YOUR HEAD THATS WHY SHIT IS JUST ON YOUR BRIAN...
HOW CAN YOU SAY SOME SHIT LIKE THAT
-
I know it would take about half a year, but there's really only a few dudes on there I have no desire to see. A two-bracket system with between four and eight games a week would be so good.
-
Everyone vote for pops so we can shoot down COTG's notion that he can't skate like back in the day. I wanna see pops doin the amazing flat we all know he can.
HAHA even on his best day he couldn't get past the first round of batb. Pops was never overly amazing, he was just young and hung out with wenning. Also aside from like 3 other people, everyone that skated at love sucked, so it made him look even better.

It's gonna be the same time length as the other game of skate. 32 skaters.

I'm talking about if they didn't cut out any of those 92 and just let them all play.

I was secretly hoping to see Lucas Puig.
-

definitely agree, i dont care about what you all think, but i would honestly put my money on that guy to come in top 3
-
Fuckin' popularity contest for BATB this time around...that shit is so "Gay Gay Gay"
-
and why isn't alex mizurov in here ? i wanna see a rematch
-
If Rowley doesn't make it, I'm boycotting it! (although I'll still watch it secretly)
-
if they have 98 or whatever, why not start with 64? Its one extra round, and we can still spare ourselves from sitting through Mike V. vs. Felix Arguelles
Seeing Kalis would be rad, watching him do flip tricks proper. Guy would obviously be fun to watch too.
-
hopefully nick D makes the cut. his flatground is tight
-
This will prolly be how it'll end up, majority rules :'(

dat actually wouldn't be too bad. Be nice to see Freddy, Booze, Popps and Omar hold it down though.
-
I really want David Clark to make it. Dude has insanely good flip tricks.
-
Lewis Marnell might actually take it all.
-
LEWIS MARNELL WILL TAKE THIS OUT.
-
they should make it 64 skaters, and make it two games a day
-
so why no one from the original game. or at least the top 4. mike mo, benny, pj, billy, and honarable mention koston, hopefully with some new kicks.
-
Because nobody wants to see the same four people win again.
-
sierra is a flatground beast
-
pops.
-
gallant & kalis definitely have their game up
-
mike v? david gravette? TK? kill me now.. who's psyched on figgy and jerry hsu though?? hell yes.

Wait so not not psyched on Baby lamb and TK but your hyped on figgy?
Get outta here

I really couldn't imagine the Gonz having a 'serious' game of skate with like some randomer like Jimmy Carlin or Figgy...

You're bummed on Gravette, but stoked on Figgy? Really?

sorry, it's somethin about gravette that i dont like. tk is a kook though for sure. so is mike v.

If he went first, he would run the table.

Basically anyone who would even be remotely interested in watching skateboarders do kickflips against each other watched the first one. I don't think it would be possible to get twice as many views as the last few games got.

HAHA you are a FUCKING n00b who's never seen Love Child. Quit acting like you know anything and go fap to Sheckler's back tat FAGGOT.

Be forvgiving, he's special.
-
I don't know, or care about the line you're talking about, but being that he did it in like 91 or 92, I'm sure 10 of said 15 tricks were shove it variations. If daewon enters, he's not getting past the first round, unless he goes up against someone that sucks, like pops or gonz

Nollie tres, double flips, bs 360s and varial heels aren't standard SKATE tricks in '09?

I really don't know why you would say that... He has a huge bag of tricks, kickflip you name it, 360 flips every way, inwards, hardflips, varial flips and heels. Daewon is unmatched.
In the late 90's he was inward heeling gaps dude.
-
Games of skate are about consistency and depth of tricks so that leaves only a few dudes. Daewon is an amazing street skater, of course, but random flatland bullshit isn't something I'm expecting from him. That doesn't make him any less of a skater, hell Reynolds lost, are you gonna start saying he's shit now ? Probably not. He's just kinda fucked in the face of people like Chris Cole or P.Rod, and to say he's gonna take it, that's kinda pushing it.
also, I don't actually believe any east coast dude is gonna show up to this. period.
-

Cotg maybe, but aren't youa genuine poster? Dude, if you want to do shit into and out of manuals and grinds, you have to have it mastered on flatground first. The dude is a consistent flatground master. Get ready to be surprised if he's in it. No point in arguing, we'll see what happens. I honestly think its almost unfair that he is in, and would bet he makes it at least 3 rounds

Prediction: Chris Cole wins. Then goes against BATB 1 winner mike mo, and beats him too. Again.
-
cotg i would love to see you film a 15 trick line. no shove its. bring it or shut the fuck up. daewon is sick.
you've got to be the only person who thinks daewon can't skate flat. it just doesn't make any sense.

dude jerrys gonna win it with a bunch of late flip shit. that fool has some consistant flatground.

lol, yeah, I would like to think I'm a genuine poster. I wasn't saying that just to piss people off. I think he'll make it past a bunch of rounds but I don't think he's gonna win it. Some people are saying this dude is instant win and that's not necessarily true. Hey, I'd love to be proven wrong, I love his manual skills, no one does it with better style and technicality than daewon, period, but this isn't a game of manuals and this certainly isn't street skating, this is flatground. This is where a tre flip underflip and a nollie half cab late shuv are king. Someone like rodney mullen would rule at this. Chris Cole finds this kind of stuff fun so he's going to do fantastic and that's why I think it's a sham to have people that could care less about some of these tricks and not have people that do like Mizurov or Haslam. So many of those dudes are fillers, Caswell has vertigo for christs sake, do you think that's fair to Cas ? Also, there are people on that list in the middle of filming or are injured, and to me, that's the tip off this list is a load of shit. You really think Poppalardo gives 2 shits about the Berrics ? Don't front, you know he doesn't. Maybe it's an attempt to keep the game "fun", gonz knows how to do that, but it's still a contest and no matter what you do, it's gonna get serious at some point so might as well have the sickest of the flatgrounders and make it a really good game, start to finish. I don't wanna waste a weekend watching the gonz trying to kickflip a bike or listening to Wenning talk about how good his kickflips were at the ABC ledges in his timbs.

Name a flip trick you can do into or out of anything that you can't do well on flatground. You just avoid common sense at all costs don't you. No matter how obvious and clear something is, you pretend its bullshit. I think you are going back on my ignore list for the reason of "frustrating stupidity."
-
Im gonna have to go with child of the ghetto. You can flip into a manuel on two wheels every try, turn around and play a game of skate, and not be able to put four wheels down on flat on the exact same trick.. Skateboarding is weird like that. Ask anyone who flips out or into manuels alot. You get so used to using the tips of your toes, that sometimes your flip tricks end up lookin worse on flat. (Jermey rodgers uses the tips of his toes alot when he does flip tricks and it looks gross,) Ive never seen daweon skate flat so maybe hes amazing at it. But by saying because someone can flip into ledges and manuels their flat land is consistent, is just not accurate.
-
I just dont think daewon spends afternoons learning obscure anticasper variations but if he does, then I can't wait for him to wreck some people. I wish they added Alex Olson and Ryan Sheckler in here just to show how much they suck at flatland.
-
Damn. if torgerson, mike anderson, kenny hoyle, pudwill , silas and janoski all make it in, i would be psyched. plus antwuan for face tat points

flatland? who's letting bikes in the park?
-
flatground, flatland, it's the same shit, you know what I mean. the only difference between the two of those people is how many industry dicks they had to suck to be where they are. They're terrible at flatground and talk a lot of shit.

You genuinely think it is possible to land a flip trick on two wheels, but to not be able to lean a tiny bit forward to get those other two wheels down?
Do you actually know anybody who can do a bunch of flip in flip out manuals who isn't consistent as fuck at flatground tricks? doing flips in and out of grinds shows a pretty good ability to flip the board and keep it under control.

hospital flips? that name might be more familiar. carroll did a nollie one in the last BATB so I guess he's twelve too. you've played a game of skate right ? it's about how much obscure bullshit you can do, not how stylish any of it is.

mike v? david gravette? TK? kill me now.. who's psyched on figgy and jerry hsu though?? hell yes.
figgy has one trick he can do really well and that is a nollie 50-50 down a handrail. seeing how this a flatground only game, he wouldn't make it past the first round. gravette on the other hand? hell yes!

Im gonna have to go with child of the ghetto. You can flip into a manuel on two wheels every try, turn around and play a game of skate, and not be able to put four wheels down on flat on the exact same trick.. Skateboarding is weird like that. Ask anyone who flips out or into manuels alot. You get so used to using the tips of your toes, that sometimes your flip tricks end up lookin worse on flat. (Jermey rodgers uses the tips of his toes alot when he does flip tricks and it looks gross,) Ive never seen daweon skate flat so maybe hes amazing at it. But by saying because someone can flip into ledges and manuels their flat land is consistent, is just not accurate.
Do you actually know anybody who can do a bunch of flip in flip out manuals who isn't consistent as fuck at flatground tricks? doing flips in and out of grinds shows a pretty good ability to flip the board and keep it under control.
I can do fakie fs flips to manual far easyer then fakie fs flips on flat
I always lean back to far on flat ones..

Daewon is an amazing street skater, of course, but random flatland bullshit isn't something I'm expecting from him.

^ The point or the argument? My point was Daewon can do pretty much everything into and out of a manual or nosemanual, and I have never seen anybody who can only land a trick two wheeled, so add it up...

I saw that, and I saw a lot more....
Brezinski made it to the second round, and lost to Mike Carroll, another tech skater. 3 of the last 4 skaters in the final 4 were known for their abilities to flip into our out of grinds or manuals (Billy Marks does it on handrails, but all he seems to do is flip to grind/slide on rails, and has admitted he prefers flipping onto a rail to ollieing onto it). The guy who won the whole thing was known for his ability to flip into and out of manuals and grinds. Montoya is a tech skater, but he is not on the level of a Daewon. Do you not see the difference between Danny Montoya, Joey Brezinski, and Daewon?
Cherry pick your facts much? Looking at the whole picture (and I saw the whole thing) my theory is supported more often than it is disproven.
Also, I am not saying that other types of skaters (those guys who huck flips over big gaps are really good too) can't do well, but to say you aren't sure if Daewon has good flatground is fucking stupid

this Gipper character really likes to jock some pro nut sack doesnt he

Yeah, you should see how I shower guys like Leo Romero with non-stop nut sack jocking!

I already know Kelly Hart will have one of the best looking games of skate they have had yet, my proof:

I think I picked ten of the fourteen from your list finland.
did a bracket with two other kids, one picked twelve and me and the other picked ten each. I really hope angelides gets in and makes it to the final four.

I really, really, really want to see a Mark Gonzales/Louie Barletta/Frank Gerwer vs. Ryan Sheckler match up in this.

For sure man. I didnt vote for shecklers wack ass but I think it would be sweet to see him get his shit tossed by gonz or guy or daewon. and maybe he can learn a thing or two about being humble and dope rather than a fucking chump.
Oh and vote in Justin Eldridge.
-
I voted for Sheckler, I want to see a Sheckler vs. Cole match in the first round to put him back in his place. He might surprise us all though, we never see him skate switch so we all assume he can't. I really hope he can't.

I didnt vote for any of the big names, like finland said a lot of the guys you know are gonna be there so give other guys a shot by voting for them
cliff pretty sure youll make it, all the pals will vote for you

It'd be interesting to see Mike York in the Berrics, so I chose him.

I made sure to vote for Louie Barletta. Guy has so many tricks, and a skinny board

i wanna see antwuan fight everyone in the berrics and take all the skate or dice money

I voted for all the dudes that you guys would be bummed on

Daewon for sure!

...the entire industry, from the berrics to thrasher, sold out to the fact that more pictures of sheckler= more teeny bopper money. They all made it clear that they think he is a tool from the start, but now they act like that never happened. Their all whores.

Will Pals nominate Travis Stenger to appear at BATB 2? Let them know....

It would be pretty funny if Nate Sherwood actually got in on this. People would be so pissed if he won rock, papper, scissors, because you know he would just do nothing but pressure flips. Nate Sherwood vs P Rod! I wanna see it happen!

chris haslam will FUCK someone up on flat. he better make it. actually, it'd be pretty funny to watch him vs sheckler.

Haslam was in a Es game of skate and didn't do that good. Even thought he might have all the circus tricks, I can see him messing up on some regular ones.
-
i know which one you're talking about but it's been a few years since that one and I think he's progressed a lot since then. i really think he'll do really well if he actually tries.
-
wtf, Jovantae wasn't on the ballot...

RICHARD MULDER
-
i made a lot of my picks based not on who i think is the best, or even who i like the most, but for the novelty of seeing certain people in this context
particularly antwaun dixon, ryan sheckler, and mark gonzales
-
Stefan, Dennis and BA.

I'm curious to see Pappalardo or Drehobl skate flatground

I voted for pops once.

It will be near impossible to get puleo over to california just to play a game of skate. I didnt vote for him because i know for a fact he doenst want to be in it.

then why is his name on it? why would anyone who didnt want to do it have their name up there?

Yeye, but it looked like a diss when they picked Nick Trapasso and not Leo, and I know he used to skate for Bootleg.

They have skated with him in person, and know how limited his talent is.

People on slap really don't know. They assume just because someone has a pro board that they don't suck. That's not always the case.

that's a pretty sick line up apart from Mike V, stoked Geoff is in it but I hoped to see Jake Johnson in there as well. I think Lucas will fuck a lot of people up in skate.
