Either that or do 4 matches per weekend rather than the usual 2 they did?

Knowing how the Berrics do things, they will probably drag this out as long as possible giving them more opportunities to shove Chariuma down our throats.
Creager is gonna be in it? Ok, I can ignore the Cariuma trash for that.I MIGHT watch just for RC...dude has some wild ish in the bag

I actually used to kind of like batb because I get to see how a pro I like do their particular fs shuvs, kickflips, bs 360s etc... so for me it was getting to see how Busenitz might do a trick he normally might not ever film like a nollie inward heel or something.
Anyways that commercial was dumb and battle at The Emerics is way cooler:

Remember when they hyped up Pros vs Joe’s and then half of the Joe’s turned out to be trash at flat ground because they did weird stupid shit, but couldn’t land the basics? It’s going to be that, except more of it this time.Very true…aside from the fact joe won.

Really curious to see who are going to be the icons. Koston, Mike Vallely... who else?
Would be interesting to see Jonny Giger skating and if he can really do those crazy tricks of his channel consistently. He could beat anyone with those.

Giger was in pros vs joes and was knocked out first round. But anyone could lose to prod.

Wait, let me get this straight: So the Semi Final will be the top guy in Pros VS. the top guy in Joes and on the other side it's the Top Influencer VS Top Icon?
And the winner of each will go into the final?
Isn't there a high likelihood that the pros will smoke everyone in their path? And that all the qualifier battles in pros will be tougher match-ups than the semi final and final?
What is your take?
the only guy i really follow from there is Jamie Griffin from Ireland, he can do some pretty insane stuff. i am pretty hype on him because he skated this like 4x4 space in a garage and got pretty damn good just skating that small ass space like zero speed. half the time just skating on a deck with no trucks. but from what i understand those tricks take him hours and hours worth of tries. im sure he has some really nice go-to's, but i dont think it necessarily means you have the nerves, strategy, etc. to win this tournament. i thought donovan was going to do relaly well in the berrics because some of the difficult tricks he could do but then when it came down to it he had zero consistency. he acutally looked super wack, bodied in the first game.
that guy who won pros vs joes is probably my favorite to win. he has exactly the right mentality + strategy, the consistentcy, and the really difficult tricks to back it up. that being said he is super boring to watch lol!
id actually rather just see a game against pros like before!
i actually think the game would be much more interesting if you were forced to do the tricks on a bank, or over a small gap, instead of on pure flat. pure flat opens up too much stupid stuff. if you were forced to ride above a certain height on the bank that would force you to go faster etc. its not really fair some guys are absolutely crawling and the other guys are flying etc. or if you are forced to go over a gap obviously same thing happens. this alone would definintely seperate pros vs joes .
for a PRO game i think that is reasonable. im not a big fan of the LEDGE vs GRIND or whatever the fuck its called because adding the ledge in adds too much chance for variation of a single grind. its like you can do back tail, back tail fakie, back tail shove, back tail front shove, and if the other guy doenst have back tail thats 4 letters done, and really you only had 1 trick over the other guy, those variations dont really tack on much extra difficulty at all.
it also just draws the game out like crazy. i wouldnt mind introducing a rule where after 5 makes in a row maybe, its the other guys turn to set, to force people from just wasting time with easy tricks. this would be a simple rule addition they could add to existing ruleset with pretty minimal intrusion.
I've seen a lot of YT comments saying how John Hill will go far, but I don't know... I've never seen him do a hardflip back 180 or whatever that trick everyone does is.

But I do agree that it was cool seeing established pros not being able to do certain basics, made me feel less bad about but for maybe like 7+ years the circus tricks have kind of increased and seeing them just makes me not care about the contest.
Also crazy to know they put out that video without confirming some of these influencers. John Hill is kind of a goober but he seems like a nice enough guy, was kind of looking forward to seeing what he could do.

The Joes are mostly Bryte and Curiuma skaters
They said the “Joe’s” moniker is just their fancy name for their am’s bracket. So these are all supposedly am’s, not actual “joes” (like some random guy named Mike or something from Nebraska who they found through IG that has like 100 followers, what I would think when I hear the term “Joe”).

Watching those videos got me thinking what’s a good antonym for charisma. A quick Google search points to the word obnoxious which is close, but not quite right.

What the fuck! Mikey and Nick from the old MAJER Crew?
I didn’t come here just to defend John Hill. In fact, I know very little about him. I looked him up and skipped through a bunch of his videos. That guy actually seems like he’s got some weird introvert shit going on. He skates by himself, talks to himself at skateparks, coffee shops restaurants. No wait, he only talks to his subscribers through his Vlog camera. It seems very unhealthy. It’s like he lives in the weird little YouTube bubble. I can’t speak for any other other YouTube guys but this ones a bit eccentric.

He put himself under a lifted car, lowered the jack and put the wheel well on his hip area, applied pressure and friction over time and broke up his calcifications/adhesions
“Some scar tissue wrapped around my femur and pelvis and clasped together, pulling my femur into the hip socket. It was calcifying and was going to be the end of me walking normally. I don’t want to be that guy that milks it so I was planning to disappear. Doctors told me they couldn’t give me surgery and the only way to fix it was to break it, and that’s a very violent process. The bones had already started to fuse together so I had to physically put enough pressure on myself to break my own bone. I did that for an enormous number of hours. I stuck my leg in the wheel well of a car and grabbed the bottom of the frame and tweaked and tore as much as I could. My wife couldn’t be around me. After two and a half years, I broke the scar tissue and some of the bone. When I did break it, it scared me to death. I heard it break and after the nausea and the adrenaline, I was lying on my garage floor at three in the morning screaming with my face covered in snot and tears. I just thought, ‘I can skate!’”

Sewa for dark star no? Didn’t know about Cody Cepeda though.
Kinda hyped for this to be honest. Might inspire me to start skating more flat ground. Haven’t really practiced flip tricks in years
Here is Mullen telling the story. Timestamp 2:40
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3X8v_Cz5ep4&t=161s
Skate Moss vs Everyone
"You suffered and overcame a career-ending condition where your femur bone had fused into your hip. Can you describe your injury and what you did to recover?
I was doing a halfcab kickflip underflip, going at a good speed and I landed badly, ending up in the splits and tearing something in my hip. The scar tissue that developed as a result locked it down – I was cinched in. The bone would pull into my hip and grind, bone on bone, until eventually, calcification occurred, welding them together. I couldn’t walk for any distance and skating seemed to be over.
After much deliberation, with doctors doubtful of my recovery, I engaged in medieval ways to break apart the bone fusion – hammering the end of screwdrivers into my flesh, climbing into the wheel well of my car to apply leverage while pulling on the car’s frame. After thousands of hours, over years of doing this, I began breaking those dried-gum-like strands of fascia. I would often become overwhelmed, screaming violently in pain, panic-stricken that I was doing more damage than good and I would never be able to skate again. Until one night, hanging from my car, I heard a thump. And when I got up, I realized that I had broken the calcification and my hip joint was mobile again.

Somehow, and unfortunately, turning yourself pro became acceptable over time.
Are they really only doing one game every Saturday and one game every Sunday?It'll give them time to find replacements for all the influencers who aren't interested.
Holy shit, this is gonna take an eternity to get through.

2 games a weekend with 64 skatersa lot of milk for sure
how long will this take
64 skaters means 32 games
Those 32 winners play 16 games
Those 16 winners play 8 games
Those 8 winners would play 4 games
Then the final four go into the finals weekend
So at this pace if I’m going to add the games leading to the finals
32 + 16 + 8 + 4 = 60 games
Divide 60 by 2 since it’s 2 games per weekend
That’s 30 weeks
So if it’s 30 weeks till the finals
Finals should commence in mid January 2022
The fact the Revive dudes may or may not show is insulting seeing as their entire shtick/business is a carbon copy of the Berrics... Just with shittier skaters.What’s the difference? Seriously?

They all suck donkey balls and I don’t mean to offend donkeys.
Steve should've just invited the Braille people. They seem way less kooky.
dont you think SKATE would be a more balanced / fair competition for the olympics than this street course runs + best trick attempts bs? it is pretty cut and dry you either landed the trick or you didnt.
these games would be 1000x more interesting if they forced the guy over a small gap even, would weed out the scrubs very quickly and pros would shine hard and expose these frauds

If you’re looking for proof that baggying up your clothes a bit makes you look better on your board, look no further than Nick Holt.

Although I imagine other people would describe them as effortless.

That was actually a pretty decent game, they went back and forth for a while, and the circusy type tricks ended up coming out too. I feel like the influencer bracket will probably have some of the crazier games out of this whole thing cuz a lot of those dudes pretty much ONLY skate flat.

Drawing out the games of skate makes sense business wise since the Olympics has an overlap in terms of the start and end date. Kids who start watching skating due to the Olympics will find something that is ongoing to help them "get in touch with real skateboarding" that also has an aspect of competition to it which is readily interpretable to audiences who are new to skateboarding, parents of new skateboarders included.
Ronnie Creager is going to fuck shit up.
The designation of "icons" vs. "pros" is funny. It will be really comical if a bunch of people come out and say they specifically stated they won't participate.
Wow Nick Holt is so boring. Dude looked like Shinji from Neon Genesis just moping around not wanting to be there. Sure he can land tricks, but at what cost? At least the other dude flailed lol.

yo, i gotchu. edited out the winners of the past two games to avoid spoilering and some other unnecessary shit.
Never realised Cepeda was classed as pro. I really hope he doesn't end up winning games with the double flip madness again.I don't mind double flips if the skater in question has run out of normal tricks, or if they are way behind in the game and need a quick comeback. They are still very ugly though. There should be a rule that you can't win a game with a double flip.
Man, I hope they discuss skate goats stance. Is he regular!?! Is he goofy!?!I think it’s kind of cheap they gave him in there. Every pro has a trick they feel is easier switch than regs so having him in here feels almost like cheating

Expand QuoteThat’s a smart move, every week it guaranties a good amount of views for 2 videos and some for the 2 videos preparing the game. Since it seems like they are struggling to stay relevant, at least this keeps a regular audience to their videos. Most people under 25 don’t know the berrics outside of the battle of the berrics so they understood that they better milk that cow for views[close]
They’re definitely not struggling to stay relevant. They average 100k views per video (minus those wack ass gaming vids that perform incredibly poorly compared to their other content.) they are definitely not struggling to stay relevant pulling those numbers. Berra talks shit on youtubers, but he is a youtuber at this point.

I can't kickflip first try either...I can switch front heel pretty consistently but nollie tres are kinda hard for me.
And why did the one dude say "My dagger trick is Nollie 360 flip"... Then he does a switch 180 heel...
Pretty sure nollie tre is easier than anything that involves a switch 180.

According to Burb, a bunch of companies hit him up to sponsor him after that game but he’s not interested. I’d dm him like a man and ask who, but I’m worried he’ll put a hex on me or something.
This dude I used to skate with years ago who has really bad anxiety to the point he can’t work. His mom takes care of him financially at 30 years old.

That sounds just like this kid I went to middle school with who said he was getting sponsored by Osiris after they saw a flatground fakie bigflip and a video of him ollieing a 4 set on his Myspace page.
Garrett Ginner is the type of guy who will stay up all night drinking Mountain Dew Code Red and watch every single one of his opponents clips so he'll know exactly what tricks to do in SKATE to guarantee victory.
I had little clue who Roy Purdy even was until maybe just like five minutes ago when I did a quick YouTube search of him and I was like “oh, that neon dancing guy, huh..... ok”.Nice try Garrett. We’re on to you
You could just tell that Garrett was gonna win by how Roy looked even just setting up for tricks. He looks mad uncomfortable on his board. Just look at how his arms and body looked right before popping that bs bigspin, you could just already tell that he was gonna miss it before even doing it.

I just rewatched this... The Burberry kid is actually pretty good. It seems like he just kinda wasn't taking it seriously enough. I believe his whole too nervous excuse actually.
I actually wanted him to win because I fuck with the spikey hair and Good Charlotte style. Although his necklace was truly awful and skating in dunks at BATB is a terrible move. Way too clunky. Get some Emerica Reynolds 3s.
The Sunny Suljic kid annoys me. Seems kind of full of himself.

Really wondering how they're gonna do that. Deciding what's a proper impossible and what isn't is straight forward, but what about the 3shuvs? If i try to do an impossible and fail, a weird 360shuv happens and my backfoot kind of leaves the board, but not fully. I always call it the possible and hate it. But a lot of people actually do their 3shuvs like that it seems.
Maybe only count the exaggerated front foot catch with your back foot behind the tail?

Grabs, no complies and other "creative" tricks(Street plants, etc) can get very esoteric. This rule seeks to level the playing field by having the skaters use a standardized bag of tricks.

Such a good game. One of those games where you honestly didn’t know who was going to win for a second. Not gonna say who lost because that would spoil the game, but that person rifled off so many tricks in a row and STILL lost which is crazy.
Guaranteed those dudes don’t practice or pull out a lot of those tricks at all unless they really have to, so to be able to just pull them out on a whim first try when they have to without probably having done one in a while is wild to me.

Thought Torey would get a redo for hands on the ground on that half cab flip, but kind of glad he didn’t. Why keep reading the rules if they’re not going to be enforced.

Making fun of a kid for trying to read…Are you psycho? Do you not have a soul?
why is there only one game? I didn't see a fucking "death blow" but still you cant just do two games a week and not do one with no explanation. weak.from what I've heard John Hill being forced [against his will] into the bracket kinda screwed up the schedule. But who knows, maybe the berries have something spectacular planned.

Too bad Chris Fissell wasn't there for the back footeryI met Fissell in Portland around 2005 at a Skateshop to put it politely he was very outspoken about his skating. After sharing the story with some friends we dubbed a saying when people were claiming, simply “The Fissell”. It left several groms wondering about the Fissell.

Didn't expect anything else haha, like skategoat is good but he isn't typical pro material with those bargain bin sponsors, Joslin is usually in the finals, leandre didn't have a chance
If we’re going through 100 rules before every match, we might as well add one about no double flips until at least 15 other tricks have been landed.There are 2 skate goats Hank: Leandre skates flatground and Leeandre skates transition. Cariuma's environmentalist ideals could disrupt American supply chains, so they had to stop him from taking this eco-friendly communism to the finals. The CIA took out his balance mid-game by trashing his inner ear with a sonic weapon. When he started falling over while pushing they brought in Leeandre, who was confused by the sensory overload caused by leaving Venice Beach for the first time since he was designed in a test tube. (https://i.imgur.com/BVz8oDx.jpg)
Can’t believe Skate Goat missed a fakie heel, that’s like one of a dozen tricks I haven’t lost since high school. Also, I love how they misspelled his name after every letter.

Berra is simply intolerable at this point, dude's got no honest friends that's for sure.
The goat guy going straight to goofy-ass tricks was embarrassing, shame on you man. Maybe he just wanted to be able to tell his friends "I gave Joslin a letter once" before he got wrecked.
How bout Get Out After That
Imagine how sick of a career Le’andre could've had he stayed that vague "whoa, who is this guy?" Venice local. Gone from being one of Erik Ellington's favourite skaters and likely to get on Death Wish to a Berrics guy. Not only that, they couldn't even spell his name right.

You're probably thinking about the Koston vs Nick Holt game.Yeah, pretty sure that was it. The whole joe concept ruined it, to be honest.

Sorry if any of this has been covered, but three questions:they were a game short because of a covid scare followed by a joslin game. probably nothing, but an interesting coincidence
1. How much is Cariuma paying these guys (their skaters/the berries)?
2. Is there some kind of requirement and/or bonus for be sponsored by Cariuma?
3. Joslin on vaxxing?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnce9Mq_TGs
out of interest i rewatched this game (lol, yeah i know.) and that's not really what happened. kid already got three letters and koston none. so he had to make a move and try some shit to get some letters on koston (i.e. hardflips). also koston was the first one to set a pressure flip he didn't make, even though he had zero letters and was not really under pressure and the kid hasn't even set his double heels but did a hardflip and tried fakie hardflip. double heel variations came after koston's pressure flip attempt. but yeah as someone pointed out already, joes have nothing to lose and a lot to prove, in whatever ways. it's death or glory for them. so it's only rational for them to come out of the gates swinging with some fucked up double-unusual-flip-stance-much-rotation-revert-circus-tricks. that's then probably two different things, rationality for the joe and aesthetics for the viewers. whatever. i enjoy watching this shit, even the bad games...

i’m not excusing this shit, but xenu supposedly runs rehab facilities with really high success rates and the class names and time tables line up - he might’ve just gotten jammed up there trying to get off junk. harris wittels did a great interview talking about how he got roped into a scientology facility brieflyExpand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand QuoteA few years back someone posted evidence of Greco going to a couple classes, but I'm way too lazy to dig around for that shit.Expand QuoteHaha, Koston did two "courses" in 2005.

AGs first hardflip almost looked like a normal pop shuv. I wanted TJ to win. Good game.Same with his nolllie 360 kickflip. I watched it five times in normal speed and still couldn't see the flip. Then I watched it in 0.25x speed and it still barely looks like it flips.
https://youtu.be/p1v7MNvUzbk” It's on like Shaunkey Kong”
The YouTube comments are something else.The game might not be serious, but he seriously kooked it.
« Sean won the game but lost my respect »
I love how it seems he did something horrible. He Sur seems like a kook but the seriousness of the comments is very funny to me
what an unlikeable person
And the comments are off. Pretty funny one of the only Cariuma dudes to win a game is tarnishing the brand by sticking around..
bruh why did he skate to the farthest qp after every trick to then speed check and land every trick goofy. tbh i was hoping somehow both of them lost and I must say was not disappointed &#128514;Well in a way, they both lost, Shawn the actual game but Sean lost whatever little value he had now that his sponsors have to lock comments everywhere he is... and by sponsors I mean Berra. ;D
wtf are you all smoking.
all of you calling it a pop shuv would, by the same logic, call every impossible a 360 shuv. The wrap would no longer make a difference in the trick.
idk about the name but it clearly wraps before he flips it back over, so it's not a pop shuv.
Regarding the whole "unsportsmanlike" behavior issue, this kind of reaction is overblown and disproportionate. The reaction to this is more appropriate for something like Nickelback lead singer focusing the other guy's board or spitting on him or something. He already tried to explain the trick to him once, and I understood it easily without him having to explain. You all are acting like the participants in every matchup have to go on a candlelit 3 course dinner date after the battle, and yet at the same time complain about all the celebratory hugging after each trick in a video. Fucks sake. No I am not Nickelback lead singer or associated with them in any way, but what he did was hardly deserving of this "burn him at the stake" reaction.
See bobby worst below for an example of worse behavior. Arrived late, battle was supposed to start at 2pm, arrived at 2:07 and his board wasn't even gripped yet, and then coolguyed mikemo cause he can't take a joke about making everyone at the berries wait on him. Are you going to burn him at the stake for this too?

wtf are you all smoking.Worrest claps for the dude when he defends tricks and fist bumps/shakes hands with his crew after the actual battle. You see him making a big deal about the competitive aspect of anything in that vid or the actual battle vid? He wasn't like "oh that was a toe drag!" and he never came off as being a spaz imo. Maybe kinda dickish for being late, but who cares. He skated in the event and had some class during the game... It's a big stretch to compare the two dude

Doesn’t say he asked for it. I would assume it came from Berra.
I don’t think this is the right decision, sure there were some issues with the reffing, but also no one cares about these guys so move on and learn from your mistakes.
Now they’ll just drag this even longer, since I don’t think for a second that there would be 2 matches AND the rematch this week.
This video popped up in my YouTube suggested videos earlier today. It’s basically an open letter to Sean Davis where at the 5:30 mark he suggests setting up a rematch. Coincidence?

Pretty cool to have a heel in BATB. Maybe if he just says “fuck it” and plays up the asshole heel persona the Stone Cold effect will happen and the crowd will eventually start finding it entertaining and he’ll turn face.Good point, why isn’t Forrest in this?

And skinny brown hair can follow in the footsteps of another overly religious man looking for vengeance, 1997 Sting. Now i'm not saying they should play out the entire NWO-Crow Sting WCW storyline.

And skinny brown hair can follow in the footsteps of another overly religious man looking for vengeance, 1997 Sting. Now i'm not saying they should play out the entire NWO-Crow Sting WCW storyline. But i'm also not saying they SHOULDN'T do that as well. Plus someone ziplining in with makeup and their deck would do numbers on the gram.[close]
BACKING THIS 100%... this is starting to play out like a Monday Night Raw plot line.
Never gonna look them up just one of those things where if it was gun to your head and you had to watch a part off one of them, I’d pick the guy that lost
im lost. i watched the game but it just seemed like two dorks having a game of skate. why is it eliciting this response and what part of it would warrant a rematch?

Man I opened up youtube and one of the first suggestions was a video (not even one posted in this thread) completely dedicated to ripping into this dude. At the risk of sounding like a sap, I think this is veering into some cyber bullying territory. Like it's some kinda kooky dude who had his first time getting a wide audience who probably had his ego boosted a little too much in his local scene. He came across a bit cocky and took it a little too seriously, but the way he's being attacked seems so disproportionate. It's a little beyond ego checking him now. Even the fact he's turned off comments. Dude's in his early 20s and probably having a massive anxiety attack about this.
Seems preachy I know, but he's a human, and his fuck ups were pretty minor in the big scheme of things going on in skating - let alone the world - at the moment. I dunno. Have some humanity.

Fuck it. Let's dox the cunt.
I'm generally sympathetic to conversations of bullying but I don't really buy that angle. If you're going to subject yourself to the public eye and behave like a jerk, it stands to reason that the public eye will react negatively to you. That's just common sense. Odds are since he's a Venice Park local this is probably the first time his ego has been checked so maybe he'll take it to heart, but the few videos I've seen "ripping on him" were fairly objective reactions and imo didn't step over any lines even if the honesty was harsh.
If people start doxxing/threatening him I'll change my mind, but unlike real cases of bullying, it's very hard for me to feel bad for this guy.

Yeah I don't think anyone's crossing any lines, and I accept that it's a risk you face putting yourself in the public eye. I just feel for him. He was hyped up and acted like a jackass, now there's actually a bunch of youtube clips ruthlessly slamming him and fixating on minor details, probably more exposure than he's ever had. He's a Joe. The amount of his self-worth that's probably getting broken down now will go far beyond that which he built up being a big fish. I just think between youtube channels and forums and comment sections, we could be collectively ruining a persons life.
I think what spurred on my little SJW moment there was seeing this thread directly above the Woodward thread after seeing unsolicited anti-Sean Davis clips suggested to me on youtube. Made me think about the scale of the hate. Not talking shit on Slap or anything. Just got me thinking about how I would have felt if I was in his shoes when I was 20 or whatever. I wasn't even particularly egotistical or sensitive, but it definitely would have fucked me up a little.

Correct IMO but that's on the refs I guess. That shit wouldn't fly in a game of skate at a Walmart parking lot. People should be calling out the reffing of that game more than Davis's attitude. I think the drama is slightly misdirected. Any ref worth their whistle would've asked WTF the trick was.
They viewed two angles of an obviously non-existent toe-drag, but then couple tricks later took Davis on his word that his steezy pop shuv-it was some underflip magic without any further investigation or replay. That's quite some bull. This whole game had bad reffing all around.

I’m pretty sure it’s when your friends call the swat team on you for laughs.
Yeah, dunno if I'm being melodramatic or whatever, but feels like this dude's getting an overwhelming amount of negative attention for some fuck ups that are pretty minor compared to some lately (nazi shit, homophobic shit, predatory sexual shit, etc). It's like a full blown character assassination on the grounds that he's a bit of a kook.Yes, you are being melodramatic. I haven’t seen anyone assassinate his character, or ask to cancel him, have his sponsors drop him or say that venice should ban him or something like that. Now, I haven’t read IG comments, but they were turned off so I couldn’t even if I wanted to and surely someone there has said something mean at some point because they always do, but the Youtube videos are about the Berrics video analyzing it like some lame TMZ Sports shit. I didn’t even see anyone bring up any other lame shit from his IG to make him look worse, and they easily could have.
I think it's easy to assume he's an arrogant fuck, but it's also likely he's pretty insecure and lacks self-awareness. Especially going by his reactions - disabling comments, pulling out of the panic rematch etc... Seems like he doesn't know how to deal with this. Considering the growing awareness of mental health shit in skating lately, I reckon people should think twice about this kind of lynch mob shit. How someone acts in one situation/is portrayed doesn't necessarily reflect their everyday behaviour, much less their true nature. We have no idea how stable this dude is. And anxiety, depression, and suicide are getting way to common.
Not targeting Slap either, more the Youtube clips and apparent social media abuse. Having an opinion is fine, but this lynch mob shit makes me worry about the dude. Hopefully he just gets a reality check and pops his bigspins and wraps his impossibles in future.

Much better looking than a Cariuma with that giant busy logo on the side.
These Braille shoes need some design tweaks and they're almostttt ok.

Does the Berrics go through and delete negative comments on their YouTube page? I was scrolling through the comments when I was bored at work and every comment is thanking Berra for hosting this rematch or complimenting the skaters for their great sportsmanship. I assume that’s what’s happening - after locking the comments on the last one when his Cariuma boys embarrassed him. The Berrics is on some next level censorship.

id dump them in a free bin for people who dont even care about skating. wearing cariumas or braille shoes even if theyre free is a no goIt is an ancient law, handed down to us from our elders, and their elders before them.

You can usually gauge the quality of the match by video run time. Anything less than 4 minutes is a blow out, 5-8 minutes is decently competitive, anymore more than 10 minutes and it's a treat.

John Hill DID show major interest though... He wrote in a post he's actually PAY $10,000 to skate in it or something.
He basically begged to be included... and when he WAS eventually included all the sudden he wasn't "mentally there."
I guess he's scared to get skunked and ruin his brand. Kind of backfires because he lost my respect by not even bothering to show up. It's actually kind of sad. Especially because he is good at flat. He could potentially win.

They didn't even try to make it not appear like it. I mean, they had them do the two "death blow" tricks that they advertised in another video. Definitely just reaffirms how annoying Berra is and how shitty this round of the contest (by inviting people no one cares about and trying to do a worldwide contest in a pandemic). Just terrible management by Berra.
Honestly, it was a good game (assuming they didn't let them re-do/re-film shit), but it didn't need to be hyped up or take up another space on a contest that's already taking forever to get through. I know they both get Cariuma so it's free advertising, but why is Berra so insistent on hyping up these two dudes? A bunch of people are skating Cariuma in this contest.

How many pro matches have they had? 1? How about legends? 0?
Hey at least he had the balls to be in this and not drop out for “not being in the right head space” or whatever bullshit.
I know skating ridiculously loose trucks is the “in” thing, but if you can’t handle it when you’re trying to ride away from tricks then it might benefit you to tighten em up a couple turns. He looked like one of those kids I see at the park that skates super loose trucks but is just barely able to stay on their board, looking uncomfortable as fuck, looking like they’re having a horrible time, but they’re just putting up with it cuz its the “in” thing.
If you aren’t looking like Matt Rodriguez or Daewon where you can’t even tell that they’re loose as fuck cuz it looks so natural, then you should probably tighten em up at least a tad bit.
That was rough to watch.
I don't get it - did he just get too nervous to land tricks?
I googled Cyril Palmer and this part came up from awhile back. He had some pop and flow then.

That was rough to watch.def looked like had those contest nerves, there was some awkward laughs after missing tricks, also looks about 30lbs heavier than in those LES clips. I think Dre also flailed that second to last trick on purpose just to give him a chance to not look so bad.

I actually believe this. This has fake written all over it, the corny ending and all the unfunny berra quotes...[close]
Of course it was staged, they've been doing the occasional staged game forever. Here they just took the opportunity to show Cariumas even more because of course, the more you force shit onto people the more they will end up liking said shit... Right? I mean, right?
That was rough to watch.
I don't get it - did he just get too nervous to land tricks?
I googled Cyril Palmer and this part came up from awhile back. He had some pop and flow then.

So Scientology fully owns the berrics now. Berra wants out but is trapped like John Travolta. Steve creats BOTB 12 to sabotage the berrics brand and save skateboarding from the clutches of Xenu.Take this shit to the conspiracy thread where it belongs!
Berra is secretly looking out for skateboarding. Maybe he’s not a bad guy after all.
I was really hoping he was gonna lose the game on that kickflip.
what a waste, there are so many relatively unknown AMs who could get a huge boost off being included in this and instead we get influencers
Lucas' frontside half cab and frontside 360 were both pretty incredible. I watched the 360 in slow motion and it looks like they don't turn the board frontside until the ollie is almost at full height and then spins so fast and their shoulders don't rotate back forward until he's rolling away. So sick.

PJ did it once but the joke works cuz he's good at skateboarding

funny how now if you saw the video was 4.5 minutes long you'd know it would be one guy getting smoked
That tony dude was em-berra-ssing. It's amazing that even next to a dude in cariumas, purposely ripped t, and a korn jersey, he still looked like the kook.
I think that this may be the last BATB ever. It seems like no one who is involved is enjoying it and the public opinion seems low so they might just call it after this one.What if they went full on crybaby and just stopped before it was even close to done?

If I was Mangucci I'm definitely going up to Spencer Barton before the game and telling him what limited bag of tricks I have. So I have a chance at making myself look as good as possible.
Plenty of slappers talking a big game who probably can't switch Ollie or kickflip. His nollie wasn't the greatest though.
On the other hand, if I knew I was gonna be in BATB id probably have at least 180 heels down and some 3 shuv variations ready. Maybe a fakie heel...
But when you're clearly over matched and the dude whips a perfect nollie bigspin heel you really have nowhere to go.
Although Manguccis setups did look way off on some of those tricks. Whatever. This didn't bother me at all. It's what a game of skate tends to look like for the average scrubs out there, myself included.
maybe this whole influencer bracket is just berra trying to shame/embarass them? maybe he wants them to get destroyed. to harken back to when skating was tipped a bit more towards skill rather than image. berras petty enough, i could see itExpand QuoteIf I was Mangucci I'm definitely going up to Spencer Barton before the game and telling him what limited bag of tricks I have.

That's probably why it's not a good idea to invite "average scrubs" to a worldwide tournament that generally hosts some of the actual best skaters in the world. You're talking as if he had a gun to his head to participate in this thing when he didn't have to. If you get invited to a global competition that you're outrageously underqualified for, you can either say "no" to protect your dignity, or you can go cash in on some views and attention, but you can't have both.
Also, again, this game getting made fun of is perfectly appropriate when it comes days after Berra said this:
"It used to be you had to be a good skater or someone that contributed to the skateboarding eco-system in some kind of way, and that's how you earned your voice..."

The expectation in a game of skate is that you can match someones skills, if you go into a well known skateparks contest id expect you to be able to know nollie variations

I've kind of wondered what exact tricks do you need to have on lock to be considered pro level or in this case, good enough to be in BATB.
So we've gotten as far as...
Ollie, Kickflip, heelflip, Tre-flip in (reg, switch, fakie, nollie)
Maybe add in Big spins also?
I mean compared to some of the complete scrubs in this years’ bracket none of us would get far in even batb1 with just the straight 16. Mike mo was still taking out Chico, Carroll, Furby, Benny Fairfax and Billy Marks and if you got lucky back then you’d get paired up against Chad Tim Tim or Danny Supa and still get washed by the 2nd round. This year is literally just skatepark kids who are all aesthetic and no substance or talent and that’s how we’d win before eventually getting paired with the Joslins or Pudwills.
Was the goal for all of this to have a larger viewership to introduce people with lots of followers? I'm wondering if there are kids or worse yet, "adult" skateboarders who live in the braille/tiktok bubble who are equally unaware of some of the pros than we are of the influencers. TBH I don't think I know a good amount of the Joes.

I think that we underestimate the amount of skaters who solely rely on YouTube/Instagram for skate content. In my local scene I'm one of the only guys to watch full lengths, the rest gets their content exclusively from YouTubers. It's not like they're beginners or really young either.

I dont think so at all, you've got to live under a rock if you are unaware of whats on youtube and instagram, Dont need to know all of them, but some of those influencers are recommended on youtube and i usually hard pass them.

yeah, i think you may have a point. i recently graduated to chit chat status with some of the better kids at the local in the town i'm staying in for a while. i was asking who they were into, dropping names of current big hitters on trendy teams, desperate not to look like some past it loser stuck in the early 00's: nik stain, kyle wilson, justin henry, blah, blah, blah. total blank stares. they didn't know about any of that. they were into those hop king dudes. these weren't like little kids either, 16-18.

Yeah that's what I meant. The market for skaters who aren't really into the whole history and culture is probably way bigger than the handful of core skaters, hence why every wacky Primitive collab outsells most companies. I'm not even hating, I'm glad that people are out there on a board, but I wish that there were some locals with whom I could nerd out about obscure parts and stuff.
That’s why I don’t talk to anyoneHow it is for me.^^^under the age of 30.

same rotation but the idea is that the flip comes from the back foot flicking up. rodney does them in the way that's a bit clearer to see the difference. not that i don't believe in them being different tricks but if someone set that against me, i'd just do a tre flip but with a concenrate-y look on my face before and a suprise-y look on my face after. always pissed me off that in the mike-mo v shane final that shane didn't do that with the 'unpossible' just throw a 3shuv with a dangly front foot and act super stoked to land it. dork tricks don't deserve honor...

Man neither of them wanted to be there lol. They just woke up, drove there real quick, took a nap in their cars until they had to go in and get it over with
This video could definitely be copied and pasted into the worst fashion thread.
what was more flaccidMy cock after watching this match.
Anybody else feel like they were both purposely putting no effort into this because neither of them wanted to win & have to go on to round two?
Seems like Billy Marks was actually the real winner here, despite the outcome.
These used to be edited so much better. There are at least twice as many tricks in less time. I realize this was 7 years ago, but god damn, what a difference.

as soon as i saw chris fuck up on half cab flip, i paused, grabbed my board, went out and - with god's good grace - landed one first try and as far as i'm concerned i've given chris cole a letter. and, yes, i know that's not how anything works.
Truly a tragic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCD4IpNDK70&ab_channel=TheBerricsthis was the first game no one deserved to win
This is the BATB equivalent of that episode of South Park where the boys were playing baseball against another team and both teams were trying their best to out-lose one another because none of them wanted to keep competing. So in essence, Billy actually won here by successfully losing. Better luck next game Cole.

https://youtu.be/nq4Xlg0SxLsThat was sick, kinda a shame to end it on a flatground trick though
https://youtu.be/nq4Xlg0SxLsThanks, this is great. I love the format: any obstacle, two tries on defense, three tries last letter, and alternating every time, levels the playing field, less likely to get skunked.

I bought a can of Liquid Death at a gas station cause I was curious why it was being so hyped and it’s literally poland spring in a can. Not even Fiji or Skyra quality, even Smart water blows it away. It’s overhyped tap water.Better then plastic. That’s the only thing I back about this shit. It’s not in plastic. Clean safe water in 2021 should be a human right and free to all. This water selling shit is bad. The people selling it will find themselves in a bad spot next trip. They will come back and always be thirsty and have no money for the system they make.

The whole non-alcoholic beer route can be a slippery slope. It hasn’t happened to me, but I’ve had sober friends relapse from pretty much the taste of beer, and their brain needing the feeling that accompanies. There’s a psychological aspect to it where a stand in is needed, and I personally would rather have fizzy water. Even the bubbles help ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The first thing to note when discussing the business secrets of the Berrics is an acknowledgement that the current era of skateboarding was so completely different from our own that almost all cultural, political and particularly business parallels we draw between the two eras are, by their very nature, bound to be wrong.
Also, fuck off clean shirt.

He had Cody to T, tried to end it with the ”death blow” switch back 3, which should have been the end since Cody slid his on the ground, then did a couple more tricks that Cody landed, tries that shuvit revert and bailed and at that point he said ”I have to go home though”.

No, no. He wanted to win. Then he got the call and either A) immediately threw the game (which I don’t actually believe). Or B) maybe he just started thinking about whatever the call was about, lost focus and started missing tricks. That’s entirely possible.

I can't believe you guys. I finally watched it and "the call" is very obviously a joke.I thought it was very obvious too but I wasn’t sure if people who think it’s real in this thread were trolling or not.
I enjoyed watching Carlos foot positioning on all his tricks. His back foot is so close to the bolts which seems weird to me but he definitely knows what he's doing

Okay so... I have a question for discussion.Does the world really need a flatground game of SKATE competition? I'd rather watch something like King of MACBA
Do you think it is possible for another flatground Game of Skate competition to take BATB's place and bring integrity back to this? I love watching these battles since my favorite way to skate myself is flatground and it seriously makes me sad to see where it went. Pros vs. Joes was such a fun concept back where there was no conflict of interest and it bums me out so much.
King of MACBA is fun and so is Grinds and Slides, but if the only flatground GoS is BATB in this state and some corporate X-Games bullshit it's just depressing.
Okay so... I have a question for discussion.If anyone could pull it off it would be DLX's extended network of team riders/Actions REALized family. I would hazard a guess that 90% of sponsored skaters have had some support from DLX in one way or another over the years: Super generous and less interested in making a quick buck.

Honestly, for an influencer bracket that was pretty entertaining with decent skating. Shrimpdaddy has good style.Lol what
People have been very negative of Eric Bragg for years now but to me he’s a harmless goofy skateboard-internet-show host so I assume I have missed something. What is his claim to fame?
This game was nowhere near the worst we’ve seen this season and in my opinion it would be better is the whole influencer bracket was dumb goofing off like this instead of the scared shitless nerveballs with the demeanor of a pro and trick bag of a rando plucked from the nearest skate park.

Gross. While it wasn't wrapped, I can see how from Uncle Berra's POV/that side of the trick, it might have looked proper.
They way he skates...he looks like he hasn't skated in years and is just stepping on the board (not counting the makes of course).

Sorry for going off topic but... This part, while it is gnarly, I find it distressing and I dislike it. Not meaning to hate on Dashawn or anything, but he is not the type skater I could ever see on Toy Machine. Also, that song flashbacks Trapasso's Stj part way too much and does not go well with Dashawn's skating. But that aside, Dashawn's flat ground game is on point. I hope he goes far in this.
I like Dashawn’s skating as much as the next guy (also not a fan of him on Toy tho) but y’all are tripping if u think he’s even near the same weight class as some of the flat ground GOATS like Cole, Luan, Shane, Prod or Joslin.I wouldn't count on Cole in this BATB.

Would be kinda funny if he got a spontaneous call about some emergent domestic situation in the middle of his game also, as well, too.I wouldn't count on Cole in this BATB.

Not about to go back and check, but is that 100% of cariuma-affiliated guys wearing the exact same giant-white-logo on black t-shirt so far? I get skaters being required to rep the brand and all that, but do they not make any other t-shirt variations?
Also just realized that I rarely see a RedBull/Monster t-shirt, it's always a hat or beanie. Do these companies have an agreement for exclusive rights to t-shirt real estate vs headwear? Any industry insiders pls shed some light...

Another week of no games, I'm liking this.
I wonder if they will quietly stop doing games and let it gradually fade like the bad fart it is.
They announced the brackets 5 months ago and started airing battles 4 1/2 months ago. What a shit show.There have already been a handful of bracket updates, and there are still more announcements of skater changes to come. It's like a constantly evolving contest that might never end.

I used to think it would be easy, then I hosted a game with like 15 kids and a few older guys. People kept wandering off and getting lost, or asking to hold up so they could eat, or go to the bathroom, random shit. The honor system did not work and the older guys kept complaining. If I ever got tasked with hosting another one, my first rule would be nobody over 16 years old.

He landed a regular one vs Ramondetta when he was on “T” back in the day too. He wouldn’t let his last Hurrah be a staged game; hence, why he kept doing nollie flips over and over until he had it dialed.

i actually like crob. but that was cringe.Crobs schtick has worn thin but i do like his interview style. He really needs to stop with the fucking switch flip manny already. It could be funny if other people brought it up but the jokes over.
the worst part was imho that he actually did some decent & hard tricks (especially in defense) like the nollie tre (barely but he did it) while the clowning on the basics (like the kickflip) and totally failing with the inbetweens. all with a pretty bad style.
he propably is actually out of shape and all, what would be forgivable, but the approach i mentioned above made it seem as if he tried to let it look like he didn´t even bother to try & to coolguy it while completely underestimating how bad he actually is, and that it is not actually because he is out of shape.
kelly looked solid af and it just seemed that a bit more practice would make everything pretty smooth and consistent pretty fast again. crob basically acted as if he thinks he looks like kelly did.
There was nothing wrong with that Kelly v Crob match I reckon. They were just hanging out having fun, probably went and had a nice lunch or dinner somewhere after, didn't push themselves too hard, just a good relaxing day with ya buddies.
Have there really been any solid games? Puds v Malto was solid, Koston V Mo was solid. Was there anything else? I just hope this last game was a jab at the berrics at this point

IMO regular games of SKATE are pretty damn boring to watch with the same tired old tricks, but these dudes can actually make it highly interesting.

I’m glad it took 2 weeks for Berra to post a rhetorical question to the fans that he won’t actually listen to. Geiger vs. Griffin has been the single biggest match namedropped in the comments. Fucking move on to round 2 already and do a damn zoom match if you have to. It’s not impossible for them to meet up somewhere to do it, but if they can’t be bothered with doing it (and quarantining for a week if they’re that concerned), just do it remotely.
I think the bigger issue is that they didn’t realize whoever wins needs to come out for the next round, which makes it a virtual-only battle until someone loses. People are still traveling and moving around during Covid, maybe they don’t want to foot the bill to have these guys come out for an extended period of time?

I feel like batb was a special way to watch pros just having fun skating flat, which was kind of new and interesting before ig changed the way pros released clips.
Seeing the way Layton or someone like Arto Saari pops tricks a foot and a half high was new to me at least. And finding out MJ could fuck up a 360 flip was exciting too.
I don’t know what would even make batb interesting again. The idea that getting a glimpse of a (often) non contest oriented pro playing a game of skate had a certain lack of pageantry and spectacle, like it was a moment captured and not heavily staged or particularly professional , and I don’t think things are moving back that way at the Berrics.

Good point i was amazed at how CK lost to billy marks on almost every trick …
Another reason it blows now is the lack of diversity in who’s skating.
The old ones had guys who weren’t necessarily known for their flat game (Peter Ramondetta, Heath, Lizard King etc) and it was fun to watch how they do basic flat tricks. I feel it’s been the same skaters for like 5 years at least.

It looked like the first time he'd tried it, but it does seem like something Joslin would be able to do. I bet if you gave him an hour he'd figure it out. My first instinct is to think he probably just assumed he'd win his first few matches like usual and got caught off guard, but these two are teammates and I'm sure they've played before. Maybe Aurelian had never busted it out or he didn't think he'd be able to land it?
Very much in keeping with his newer, trencher Joslin act to have something like a hardflip late flip in the bag though. Some people will be surprised if he makes it to finals but I really wouldnt be.

He should have brought out a 3rd place trophy, it would be a better symbol of batb's status as a weak substitute for slides and grinds and king of macbaBerra trotting out that trophy from the early aughts (to remind of us that he was once a skateboarder too?) was pretty embarrassing, even through a tiny phone screen.Expand Quote

Just watched a Jamie Griffin YouTube video on Hop King’s channel of his doing flat ground in preparation for the Giger vs Griffin game. The Hop King crew are flying to Switzerland and they’re playing there. Hop King replied with a comment saying that this was the “only financial way this match would happen” which implies that the Berrics wouldn’t fly them both out to LA. If that’s true, that is incredibly fucked up seeing as that the Berrics is going to make an insane amount of ad revenue on this match.
I just wanna acknowledge mike mo’s style and ability. I respect that skateboarding for sure.That's rad. It reminds of me of an old interview with Salman Agah talking about how he got super progressive with nollie and switch because he fucked up his ankle regs.
Even more so post injury. I also am a post injury skater. I was in a wheelchair for 9 months at age 20-21.
When I came back in 99 I just got focused on switch super hard.
Today I walk funny but I can skate as good as anyone

Such a fucking bummer. It’s clear Berra didn’t want to fly out both of them. “Figure out how to play each other, I’ve got one ticket for the winner. Good luck, chumps.”

Ironic that one of the most interesting match ups of BATB12 isn't even going to be held at the Berrics, and the fact that it's two guys who actually seem to take it fairly seriously. Shame.

Cody kinda made the mistake of accepting a Sovrn sponsorship when he should've just stayed with DGK.

If i was running a skate company I doubt I'd want my company's agreement on that shit show even if my skaters were serious about it. I would argue that Cepeda winning really didn't go anywhere and the berrics was in a good position at that time too.

That’s how I feel about his skating too. I get that some people may have a difficult time watching him because it looks like he might be in pain or unhappy with his current ability, but the fact that he’s on such a high level while dealing with dropfoot is really inspiring to me.

I'm pretty sure that that was some camera/editing magic & it was 1 guy playing himself, just switching t-shirt/hat backwards. the back 3 was a dead giveaway
I can't recall a match where both skaters were so awful at skating switch as these two.Real talk, though: who even are these guys?
Berra's really trying to fill those brackets. Nothing notable about either one of them.

there are several pros in this who are injured right now. I hope they get better soon :-\ but I bet we'll see more subs in the next two weeks.

Didn't Benny Fairfax win the first batb? He was on stereo and won against PJ Ladd
Corey Kennedy was well on a path to having a career without the Berrics - hence how he never relied on it after getting on Girl to do anything - and he would have had a career without the Berrics. He didn't even make it that far after that game with Ramondetta that everyone talked about. Benny Fairfax started his career before the Berrics and maybe BATB1 turned him pro, but that was a super different time in skating where Berra and his little pet projects weren't (rightfully) cordoned off into their own space driven by an egomaniac. Corey was in a similar position - he was already getting stuff before he entered that contest and his name winning that contest just sped up a trajectory he was already on and then never relied on to maintain.Fax!
Your definition of "a huge break" is insane by any understanding of the skate industry. It's bound to, essentially, "having more footage in Berrics stuff," which is the only metric by which Cody Cepeda entered the skate industry. His only board sponsor was through the Berrics and his only major part in an article was in The Skateboard Mag after Ththee Berrics bought them advertising a part he filmed for a Berrics project.

I’ve heard of Giger before but never the other guy. Honestly, this was one of the best games for this horrible batb’s. They’re both incredible skateboarders and this game, felt like more of two people just playing a game of skate and less of a production like the other episodes. Go figure, the one episode with two of the guys everyone hates on is one of the best. I have nothing but respect for both of these dudes.
Wow, that was a great game. Seriously think that if jonny would have won the rock/paper/scissors, there would have been a different outcome.
Was rooting for Jonny just because I really wanted to see him go back to the berrics and get a second shot at the title, but Jamie seems to be a genuinely good dude. Slightly bummed, but at least now I can check out of this shitshow for another month or so.

Knew Jamie was going to win when I checked out one of his flatground training sessions, dude is a machine.
Looking at the bracket he will probably line up against Lil Dre in round 4, but Chis Chann is a bit of a wildcard so could be an upset in that battle.
A lot of the upcoming battles will be pretty interesting, have no idea who to call being in the finals.

well it was actually the opposite, i believe what OP meant was that there were several tricks that Dashawn did on offense that should've been a redo but were given a thumbs up by the ref. specifically the switch back 3 on the last letter (which Dashawn even motioned for a redo himself) and the fakie big heel (definitely scraped his tail). i don't think it really would've made a difference in the outcome because Dashawn was clearly on and had the upper hand the whole game, but still. after the number of times he's gone on an "okay i'm gonna be around so no one can claim that the judging was off because i'm the supreme objective dictator", definitely feel like Berra shoulda spoken up lol
all that being said, this was a pretty enjoyable game to watch. really like Dashawn's skating tbh, definitely my favorite of the "contest" dudes i think
Jesus, berra looks like a barrel. Man baby got man boobs!nah thats just the boxed patterning on his sweater its lightweight and perfect for layering in between seasons
At least Cody is actually popping his tricks these days, he didn't really go back to the slow and low pivot-heavy thing too much this time around. I don't like him but the batb7 story is pretty rad, real storybook shit.
Dashawn is starting to give me Shane O'Neil vibes. It's insane what he does but he's so fucking perfect and does everything so flawlessly that I kinda zone out after a minute. Bigger flips should not be that easy.

Expand QuoteExpand QuoteAt least Cody is actually popping his tricks these days, he didn't really go back to the slow and low pivot-heavy thing too much this time around. I don't like him but the batb7 story is pretty rad, real storybook shit.
Dashawn is starting to give me Shane O'Neil vibes. It's insane what he does but he's so fucking perfect and does everything so flawlessly that I kinda zone out after a minute. Bigger flips should not be that easy.[close]

Haven't kept up with this in a good while. Looked at the bracket at the end of the last game now and saw that Ronnie Creager's name is gone. When did that happen? I know Stevie backed out but Ronnie too? Literally the only thing I looked forward to watch in this shitshow.
on the plus side, p-rod versus nick tucker as a quarter final should be tantalisingly awkward.

Pretty sure neither of those guys backed out, simply never accepted in the first place.
Berra just put a bunch of names on the bracket without even asking people if they were down. Apparently a whole bunch of people were simply not into it.
Much better game than I expectedWhy even make a rule about wrapping impossibles if it's just going to get ignored? Otherwise this was a solid game, I'm a little surprised by how well Spencer did

Why even make a rule about wrapping impossibles if it's just going to get ignored? Otherwise this was a solid game, I'm a little surprised by how well Spencer didTo be fair the rule states "IF your opponent wraps their impossibles you must wrap your impossibles" so IMO this covers it, and I haven't seen any impossible bullshit since this rule change.
I was super surprised with Spencer. Given the absolute shit quality of most of the "influencer" games (and his kook fit) I completely assumed he would be useless. Good on you Spencer.

Although I do hate the fact that this creates two "types" of impossibles, it's good enough for me in the context of a game of skate.
So IMO in this game specifically I'm fine with a Unwrappossible on offense being defended by another Unwrappossible.
This conundrum only makes me wonder how and when unwrappossibles became accepted enough anyway that this had to become an issue down the road.

some tricks are very easy if you practice them a little, but really hard if you don't.
there are some tricks most people don't practice at all because they aren't considered useful/legit.
if both of the above are true of a trick, it's considered dirty.
both of the above are true of fakie 360 pop shuv.
very awkward to just whip it out, but by no means a truly 'hard' trick. and have you ever seen one in an actual part? i really can't recall any.
i'm just giving you the common definition here. i personally don't think a standard trick really counts as dirty, even if it is one that's very rarely seen in a particular stance (nollie varial heel for imstance).

64 skaters is very big. does that mean this is going to take over a year?
Crazy that those trousers Koston had on were Nike. I thought they looked nice until i saw the logo. As if nike dont have a stranglehold on enough markets they now wanna do comfy baggy trousers as well. fuck
I hate that I remember that Paul Shier broke a board in an early BATB and I believe someone else has too.

Why would that make them the problem? And what problem are you even referring to? If people wanna not rock big companies like Adidas or Nike for clothing to wear when skating, so be it. This person still likes the pants (from what I gather) but is bummed it's Nike and not an actual clothing brand or something.

It's absurd that someone with such a terrible switch and nollie game was even in a game of skate tournament, let alone advanced one round
Also Chris Cole absolutely demolishing that board on flat is not a great look for Zero
Coles not big big. I seen him. Everyone is big to me though. Im like 5’8” im pretty solid for a former skooma addict. It’s not like he has to show horn his bubble butt into his tight jeans.
Still a handsome man kinda. He’s kinda nerdy. I like fattys. Gotta be way bigger than cole to get me going. Hairy too.

I will say I appreciate that Griffin doesn't just rely on ridiculous circus tricks that no one else has ever done. He goes through all the fundamental basics, and mostly relies on consistently landing them. When they start running out of basic tricks he starts pulling out the 540 shuvs, etc. But even those aren't outlandish tricks that no one else ever does. I honestly thought he might come into BATB and only use his crazy instagram tricks as a crutch to beat people.This is fair. I don’t think he was being a dick but I did think it was an unsatisfying game. Wanted Lil Dre to at least get a chance.

Amazing game, but in the BATB 5 third place match, Shane O'Neill beat Ishod Wair with a nollie fs double flip, HOWEVER, Ishod landed a nollie fs flip the first two attempts on defense and they gave him two more redos after landing both accidental nollie fs flips, which wasn't granted in this game. Ishod had 4 attempts, the loser of this game had only 2, when it should've been at least 3.(https://cdn-img.scalabs.com.au/jioFOeVVtt-Pi_O4BJDtDsMSkTzvE2iP0CGwCCz7wWI/aHR0cHM6Ly9zdy10/cmlwbGVtLXByZC5z/Y2FkaWdpdGFsLmlv/L21lZGlhLzU1OTc4/L3NjcmVlbi1zaG90/LTIwMTgtMDktMDct/YXQtMjEzNDUtcG0u/cG5nP3ByZXNldD1N/YWluSW1hZ2U)

I know the impossible rule caught some flack for never being enforced and then Berra gave his two cents and now it seems to be a bit more prominent, but what is the fucking purpose of this grandiose rule reading if it's never actually mentioned or brought up in games. Peterson did a fairly solid back 360 albeit slid around at 270, then Holt did it with the 180 fully slid however I figure it got a pass as they both slid, but Griffin's front bigspin was fucking textbook whereas Lil Dre's was a front shove fucking revert.

That's not even what the rule is saying though.
It just means if your opponent pops, you also have to pop and can't just "slide" it. Bad word to describe it but I can't think of a better one either. Maybe shoving would work?
Or what about the time Mike V completely ripped up the rules, and threw out the rules, because he plays by his own rulez

So strange that he had trouble with the fake variation when his regular V heels are so goddamm good. That trick gets so many people a letter and it's outright easier than regular.

3rd time's the charm, that's how i (and pretty much all the skaters i know) play. if your toe/heel/whatever drags or the trick's sketchy on the third try then the other skater sets their trick, if you land it clean then it's all good.

For a message board that consumes so much skate media I have no idea how anyone here can watch this part and think he has any legitimate shot at skateboarding as a career. I'm genuinely confused by how many people have said that. Credit where credit is due he has a huge bag of flatground tricks, but that's literally it. Almost this entire part is flip tricks down 3 stairs. Flip trick on flat or up/down a curb then flip trick down a 3. I just re-watched this to make sure I wasn't insane. Other than flip tricks on flat or on very small sets of stairs he has pretty much nothing else.
First line is noseslide a ledge, back tail a ledge, impossible off a curb, heel flip up a curb, tre on flat, ollie a ledge, kickflip a 5 stair. Not a bad line and I think he did it well, but that's definitely not pro level skating. And that's not nitpicking and judging the whole part by the opening clip, I genuinely think that's the best clip in this part by far. Next clip halfcab heel off a ledge then back 3 kickflip down a 2 or 3 (the way it's filmed it's tough to tell).Next clip ollie up a ledge pressure flip off, then fs bigspin on flat. Next clip frontside flip up a two stair (I think?) then sw tre down the same thing. Next clip fs 50-50 impossible out on a ledge and then back lip on a ledge.
Another clip in here where he does a bad back smive-o on a bench, back 3 a little grate, nollie back heel on flat, and then sw ollie a 5 or 6. Impossible up a small ledge nollie late flip off of it? Of the clips that aren't solely flip tricks down 2-4 stairs or off a ledge, he does a regular crook then back tail kickflip on another. Nollie tre on flat and then a pretty bad kickflip crook on a bench. Bigflip on a slightly declined runup and then a rocketed sw heel down an 8? And after he landed it he's celebrating like he just did it down El Toro.
This is not skate for a check level skating, and not even close. I'm happy for him if he can make a living skate youtubing, but what legitimate company is going to put him on and pay him for these type of clips? Am I going insane? Have I completely lost it? I like low impact skating but this part is just not very good, and certainly not "why isn't this guy properly hooked up?" good.

First line is noseslide a ledge, back tail a ledge, impossible off a curb, heel flip up a curb, tre on flat, ollie a ledge, kickflip a 5 stair. Not a bad line and I think he did it well, but that's definitely not pro level skating. And that's not nitpicking and judging the whole part by the opening clip, I genuinely think that's the best clip in this part by far. Next clip halfcab heel off a ledge then back 3 kickflip down a 2 or 3 (the way it's filmed it's tough to tell).Next clip ollie up a ledge pressure flip off, then fs bigspin on flat. Next clip frontside flip up a two stair (I think?) then sw tre down the same thing. Next clip fs 50-50 impossible out on a ledge and then back lip on a ledge.
Another clip in here where he does a bad back smive-o on a bench, back 3 a little grate, nollie back heel on flat, and then sw ollie a 5 or 6. Impossible up a small ledge nollie late flip off of it? Of the clips that aren't solely flip tricks down 2-4 stairs or off a ledge, he does a regular crook then back tail kickflip on another. Nollie tre on flat and then a pretty bad kickflip crook on a bench. Bigflip on a slightly declined runup and then a rocketed sw heel down an 8? And after he landed it he's celebrating like he just did it down El Toro.
This is not skate for a check level skating, and not even close. I'm happy for him if he can make a living skate youtubing, but what legitimate company is going to put him on and pay him for these type of clips? Am I going insane? Have I completely lost it? I like low impact skating but this part is just not very good, and certainly not "why isn't this guy properly hooked up?" good.[close]

Fuck you Torey Pudwill trying to call tricks back for being sketchy. His whole style and career has been sketchy.At least he was impartial
That fs 360 redo was a beautiful call tho
I've been binge watching The Last Dance and I'm currently on episode 6 after starting at 1 earlier tonight. I paused it to catch the last battle and the contrast between the madness Jordan put himself through, what he achieved, his culturally relevance... Just the sheer intensity of this documentary juxtaposed against what BATB is now made me realize just how silly, stale, and sterile this contest has become.
Not a knock on any of the skaters or skateboarding that was done but there's a lack of authenticity. At least to me.
It looked like Tyler was walking up to Jamie after the battle and this fucking LA crowd of people with their phones in front of their face storm the dude, cutting Tyler off from congratulating and shaking Jamie's hand, and I took that personally.
I thought I was so clever using Signin with Apple and it’s ”hide my email” feature to login to that shitty app, but now I cannot delete my account because I don’t have a password .
Started watching and when I saw the matchup I thought ”oh it’s still the semifinals” but at the end everyone was so hyped for the winner and turns out it was the finals, weird. Also weird how this felt so much more rapid fire than the matches that they edited.
I wish Berra would just choose one person to referee the entire season rather than use it as some sort of special guest slot, even if all the rules weren't enforced at least there would be consistency.who would want to do that

He's got that whole "I used to skateboard" vibe going to which kids will just roll their eyes and push off in the other direction saying "kook" under their breath.
fucking good final if you ask me, on par with shane vs mike mo, maybe even better

what's that one rule? "no sliding your trick on the ground if your opponent pops their trick." or something like that? so much for that, ol jamie was SLACKING on those 360s. Lucky i wasnt the ref, I'd have regulated that ass.

That Tyler kid was good. Landed everything clean and had a nice attitude, I respect him more now.
Also, I think the fs biggerspin was a bad call from Torey. Tyler got robbed a letter.

Idk why but it had that feeling that the berries was trying to give Tyler the advantage. They didn't make him do the cab big flip and made Jamie do the heelfip body varial again l. Plus Berra being right over Pudwills shoulder like he's Emeperor Palpatine. I'm glad Jamie won though.

I don't know why I watched this final. I have no idea who either of these people are. I liked that the guy who won's shoes looked super fucked up from skating them so much. That's pretty cool. He probably really likes skating. I wonder if he likes PJ Ladd.

The unpoliteness of not asking people first if they want to be part of a shitty contest - and still making the thing happen.
God damn he made Jamie use 30% of his power. Sick game for sure, glad it's all over.
Do you guys think they are going to try to make BATB13 happen? I can't even imagine it.
I know its just a dumb game of skate, but I love watching it!
But in my honest opinion...just like there's no Malto manual shit. I think they need to add 2 new rules.
1. Absolutely no double flips (they are extremely lame)
2. NO late shuv or late flip anything
Thus---the only circus trick that should be allowed is one regular footed pressure flip

double flips should be allowed. What shouldn't be is half flips, Casper flips, front foot impossible variation etc. But really...where do you draw the line??

Late flips, half flips, and double flips should all be banned. Just in my opinion. It would be interesting to see where people would take the tricks their allowed to do.

This rule is about popping the trick. Sliding to complete a rotation is fair game. I think Torey asked him to redo FS360 because of a lack of pop.

Sorry to bump this turd again, but… it's obvious P-Rod had no intention of skating the Finals in this hype video filmed a few days prior to the event (@ :50): "I'm confident that it's Jamie griffin's year… as soon as I step in the arena with him it's done.
