BATB12

Ridiculous these 2 guys played in the first round. Those brackets are all sorts of stupid, but it's also the bare icks i guess

[Lifer]

Finally, a decent match.

Also, Luan's fucking nollie heels ...

[Veggie.Wav]

Luan's inward heelflip is a fucking thing of beauty. What a great game

[stephop]

Luan is definitely the best flat ground skater. Might not put out the greatest parts but imagine being able to cruise around fast with that much flick and pop at will.

That's the one that got me opening my wide open for 4 seconds

[Madam, I'm Adam]

Luan's inward heelflip is a fucking thing of beauty.

It stood out to me too. I felt like I could learn them if I kept watching it, despite it being regular.

That and the elusive switch three shove. Love that trick

[funeral_tuxedo]

That was such a good match. I really like Asta and Luan and I hope someday they each put out their big video part that really showcases their talents. I feel like Luan got close with his Chronicles part but hopefully there's more to come.
PS Tom Asta has a lovely inward heel and that is not very common.

[Ric Leonetti]

2 seasoned pros..

[dustyassrocketswitchv]

another week with just one game... they better pick up the pace once berrie decides its "safe" for em to play skate.

No game tomorrow??

[Mariatorresflores]

Kinda sucks these two got paired up so early, feel like they both usually end up going pretty deep in BATB. Cool to see how different they're styles of skating are, back to back. Asta's always got a care free vibe and Luan's always highly focused, agro popping everything. Both always land shit clean af. Good game.

[Lame_Nigga]

Love that even Berra acknowledges the flag is a Dick move and is getting rid of it

Luan is working in a new part, should be available soon. He told a Brazilian podcast about it.

[conqueso]

finally a game worth watching

luans flatground is on another level

[NowhereInLife]

a nice change from the petulant sloppy desperation.

hopefully everyone got the taste out lol.

[Paul Cicero]

I’d be so embarrassed if I was one of these Cariuma / fakie bigspin fools that may have to go against true professionals like Luan haha

[dallou]

It's a nice reminder of what pro level is actually like. The difference in skill between the two pro games and all of the others is huuuuge. And we are only talking about flatground

Since these dudes fanbases seem to live in the interwebs, it was blown out of proportion. I doubt there would have been an uproar outside this thread and the bench at the skatepark where the old guys sit if these were pros or ”icons” instead.

I don’t waste much time sitting around when I’m at the park (which is next to never, ‘cause them skreets is calling) but when I do sit down, I can assure you that absolutely zero percent of nobody is discussing this Sean dude, or the Berrics. It’s more like a IRL version of the shoes & gear bloard, actually.
Def none BATB talk going on, though. Trust.

[close]

I meant it in the way that if it was like a Busenitz vs Cole match it wouldn’t be talked about on youtube but maybe at the park

That is an interesting point. I hadn't thought of that.

[Coldpizza]

[RoaryMcTwang]

It's insane how Luan is always one level above even the best opponent on flat. The float on the switch flip, the stomp on the nollie heel, the inward heel, the sw 360 shuv... Jesus.

I noticed Shaun Hover in the audience during that game. Maybe there will be some surprise game or re-match involving him considering the response from last week?

I believe there is some sort of rematch, which is a bit funny to me, because even if you made it through the influencer (I cringed as I typed this) bracket eventually you'll be skating against someone like Luan where that little instagram nonsense won't stand a chance.

[flippy lippy]

Normal audience size for batb, idk if covid was rlly the problem or if they're just having trouble finding participants

[matty_c]

At some point you’d have to think ahh already got a  trophy off em and the good ones can just do contests

Time to reward ratio seems better and none of em seem to get that broke off on tv anyway as if they get paid to come on this shit

Lmao they probably couldn’t fill the brackets as it was which is why we got all these randoms in it

[TheDingus]

Sean Davis and hover had a rematch. Guess who won!

[fs1/2cab]

Betrag won. We all lost.

Justice

This is the THE SINGLE BIGGEST SHOCKWAVE SENT THROUGH THE SKATEBOARD INDUSTRY

[JugeL]

I would pay money to see Luan mop the floor with all the Berriuma riders at once for the finals

[phlap]

Tom Asta's great. Shame to see him put out so early, especially after that huge run of tricks.
